The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s strong condemnation and denunciation of the repeated and irresponsible actions of the Swedish authorities by granting some extremists official permits authorizing them to burn and desecrate copies of the Holy Quran, in an act that is a systematic provocation of the feelings of millions of Muslims around the world.
In this regard, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will summon the Chargé d’Affaires of the Swedish Embassy in the Kingdom to hand him a protest note containing the Kingdom’s request to the Swedish authorities to take all immediate and necessary measures to stop these disgraceful acts, which violate all religious teachings, international laws and norms, affirming the Kingdom’s categorical rejection of all these acts that fuel hatred between religions and limit dialogue between peoples.
