The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs voiced the Kingdom’s strong condemnation of Wednesday’s burning of a copy of the Holy Quran by an extremist at Stockholm Central Mosque in Sweden following Eid al-Adha prayer.
"These hateful and repeated acts cannot be accepted with any justification, as they clearly incite hatred, exclusion, and racism, and directly contradict international efforts seeking to spread the values of tolerance, moderation, and rejection of extremism”, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The statement added that similar acts only “undermine the necessary mutual respect for relations between peoples and states.”
