Controversial Quran Burning in Sweden Sparks International Outrage

TL;DR Summary
Several Muslim nations, including Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and others, have condemned the burning of the Quran by an Iraqi living in Sweden. The incident occurred in front of Stockholm's largest mosque, and the Swedish police had granted the protester a permit in line with free speech protections. However, the act has been deemed provocative and unacceptable, inflaming the feelings of Muslims worldwide. The Muslim nations are calling for accountability and the prevention of such acts in the future, while some have recalled their ambassadors to Sweden. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation has also called for effective measures to prevent a recurrence.
