Supporters of Iraqi Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr take part in a protest against a man who tore up and burned a copy of the Koran outside a mosque in the Swedish capital Stockholm, in Basra, Iraq, July 2, 2023. REUTERSPIX: The Saudi-based Organisation of Islamic Cooperation on Sunday called for collective measures to avoid future Quran burnings, days after a copy was torched outside a Stockholm mosque.
It coincided with the start of the Eid al-Adha holiday and the end of the annual haj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, sparking anger across the Muslim world. The body’s secretary general, Hissein Brahim Taha, “stressed the need to send a clear message that acts of desecration” of the Koran are “not mere ordinary Islamophobia incidents,“ the statement said.
Taha condemned Momika’s Quran burning as “a despicable act”, echoing widespread denunciations that have included demonstrations near the Swedish embassy in Iraq’s capital.
