Saudi Arabia Has Summoned The Swedish Ambassador Over The Quran Burning Incident
The Quran-burning incident that took place outside a mosque in Stockholm, Sweden, right after Eid prayers has caused outrage in many countries around the world. In light of this incident, Saudi Arabia has summoned the Swedish ambassador and informed her of its “categorical rejection of this disgraceful act.”
This comes after Iraq, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates summoned the Swedish ambassadors in their countries too.

The Saudis are demanding that the Swedish government put a stop to anything that goes against spreading tolerance and rejecting extremism.
The Swedish government has also condemned the man’s behavior and called it “Islamophobic.”
