The Swedish government should immediately prevent such incidents that cause hatred and division: Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs.


Riyadh: Saudi Arabia has issued a stern condemnation of the recent desecration of the Holy Quran in Sweden.
In an official statement released by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Kingdom expressed deep dismay at the incendiary actions that allowed extremists to defile the sacred Quran.
The statement underscored the urgent need for the Swedish government to take immediate measures to prevent any further incidents that could fuel incitement, hatred, and division.
Saudi Arabia's call for swift and resolute action is a reflection of its commitment to upholding the sanctity of religious texts and promoting tolerance among diverse communities.
In recent days, Sweden has witnessed a disturbing series of Holy Quran desecrations, leading to heightened concerns within the Islamic world and the international community regarding the escalating religious animosity in the country.
These incidents have provoked widespread condemnation, prompting calls for accountability and the cessation of such acts.
Previously, the Swedish government had defended these acts under the banner of freedom of expression, a stance that has drawn criticism from various quarters.
Saudi Arabia's strong denunciation of these events emphasizes the global significance of religious respect and underscores the imperative of addressing acts that undermine religious harmony and coexistence.
It remains to be seen how Sweden will respond to these calls for action in the face of mounting international pressure.
