Foreign Ministry: Saudi Arabia Denounces Swedish Authorities’ Irresponsible Behavior, Repeated Permission to Extremists to Burn Copies of Holy Quran

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed, in the strongest terms, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s condemnation and denunciation of the official permission Swedish authorities have repeatedly granted extremists that allow them to burn copies of the Holy Quran, describing the move as irresponsible behavior and disgraceful acts provoking the feelings of Muslims around the world.

The ministry said it will summon the Chargé d'Affaires of the Embassy of Sweden to Riyadh to give him an objection note which carries the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s demand from the Swedish authorities to take immediate measures to halt such disgraceful acts that violate the principles of all faiths, international laws, and protocols, and also the Kingdom’s complete rejection of all acts that ignite hatred among peoples and religions.
