"Diplomatic Outrage: Muslim Nations Protest Quran Violation in Sweden"

Muslim-majority nations, including Iraq, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Iran, have summoned Swedish ambassadors and expressed anger over a controversial demonstration in Stockholm where a person stomped on the Quran. The Iraqi government ordered the expulsion of the Swedish ambassador, while Turkey threatened to block Sweden's ascension to NATO. Saudi Arabia criticized Swedish authorities for granting permits for the desecration, calling it a systematic provocation of Muslims. Iran warned Sweden of consequences for provoking Muslim sentiments. Protests against the desecration also erupted in Lebanon. The actions of the Iraqi refugee, protected by Sweden's free speech laws, have sparked a debate on whether such actions should be classified as hate speech.
