The kingdom expressed its deep disapproval of the offensive and irresponsible act, which it believes disregards the sentiments of more than a billion Muslims during the sacred time of the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca and the blessed celebration of Eid al-Adha.

Furthermore, Morocco recalled its ambassador to Stockholm as a demonstration of its dissatisfaction with what it perceives as repeated provocations allowed by the Swedish government. The embassy summoning and ambassador's recall signify the kingdom's firm stance against acts that disrespect religious beliefs and inflame tensions.

The incident occurred when Salwan Momika, a 37-year-old individual who had sought refuge in Sweden years ago, conducted the Qur'an burning in front of a mosque in the Swedish capital. The protest was carried out under heavy police security, as the authorities had granted a permit based on the protection of free speech.

However, the police subsequently initiated an investigation into the incident due to the widespread anger it triggered within the Muslim world.

This latest incident follows a similar occurrence in January, when a Swedish-Danish right-wing extremist burned a copy of the Qur'an near the Turkish embassy in Stockholm.

Both incidents have sparked outrage among Muslims globally and heightened concerns about the respect and tolerance of religious beliefs in society. (ILKHA)
