Saudi Gazette report

RIYADH — Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned an extremist's burning of a copy of the Holy Qur'an at the Stockholm Central Mosque in Sweden after the Eid Al-Adha prayers on Wednesday.

The Foreign Ministry said: “These hateful and repeated acts cannot be accepted with any justification, and they clearly incite hatred, exclusion and racism.”

It added that “Such acts directly contradict with international efforts seeking to spread the values of tolerance, moderation and rejection of extremism, and undermine the necessary mutual respect for relations between peoples and states.”
