Saudi Arabia Summons Swedish Embassy Charged Affairs Over Holy Qur'an Desecration

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in Saudi Arabia has issued a strong condemnation in response to the repeated and irresponsible actions taken by Swedish authorities. These actions involve granting official permits to certain extremists, allowing them to burn and desecrate copies of the Holy Qur'an, a holy and sacred text in Islam. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expressed its deep concern over these provocative actions that not only disrespect the religious sentiments of millions of Muslims worldwide but also violate established norms and principles.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has declared its intention to summon the Charged Affairs of the Swedish Embassy in the Kingdom. During this meeting, a formal protest note will be handed over, which conveys the Kingdom's urgent request to the Swedish authorities. The request is clear: immediate and necessary measures must be taken to halt these disgraceful acts. The actions of burning and desecrating the Holy Qur'an are viewed as a grave transgression against the teachings of religion, national laws, and international standards. Saudi Arabia, along with the global Muslim community, expects the Swedish government to address this issue promptly and effectively, ensuring that such acts are prevented in the future.
