"Global Muslim Outrage Erupts as Quran Desecration Sparks Street Protests in Sweden"

Muslim-majority nations, including Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon, expressed outrage and planned street protests following the desecration of a Quran in Sweden. The incident involved an Iraqi of Christian origin, now an atheist, who kicked and stood on the Quran outside the Iraqi Embassy in Stockholm. Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani ordered the expulsion of the Swedish ambassador from Iraq, and protests are planned in Baghdad. The Iranian Foreign Minister summoned the Swedish ambassador and called on the UN to address the issue. Other Muslim-majority nations, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Pakistan, also condemned the desecration. Blasphemy laws were abandoned in Sweden in the 1970s, and the right to hold public demonstrations is protected by the constitution.
