"China hosts Muslim-majority nations for Israel-Hamas peace talks"

Muslim majority nations, including Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, and Indonesia, arrived in Beijing for talks on de-escalating the Israel-Hamas conflict, as China aims to play a mediator role. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with officials to discuss protecting civilians, resolving the Palestinian issue, and establishing a ceasefire. China has been critical of Israel's retaliation and has refrained from condemning Hamas, causing backlash from Israeli officials. China has been actively involved in finding a solution to the conflict, dispatching a peace envoy and pushing for a two-state solution. The conflict has also allowed China to strengthen ties with Arab countries and position itself as a key voice for peace.

"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.
