International Backlash: Sweden Faces Consequences for Quran Burning Incident

The Swedish government has condemned the recent burning of a Koran outside Stockholm's main mosque, describing it as an "Islamophobic" act. The condemnation came in response to a call from the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation for collective measures to prevent future incidents of Koran burnings. While Sweden acknowledges the right to freedom of expression, it strongly condemns acts of racism, xenophobia, and intolerance. Several countries, including Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Morocco, have summoned Swedish ambassadors to protest the incident. Swedish police have opened an investigation into the matter.
