(MENAFN) Kuwait on Saturday denounced the burning of a copy of the Quran, Islam’s holy book, by a Swedish-Danish right-wing extremist in the Swedish capital, Stockholm.
Under Police protection, Rasmus Paludan, the president of Stram Kurs (Hard Line) Party, burnt a copy of the Quran near the Turkish Embassy’s building.
What happened "hurts Muslims' sentiments across the world and marks serious provocation,” Kuwaiti Foreign Minister sheikh Salem Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah said in declaration quoted by the state news agency KUNA.
He urged the world “to shoulder responsibility by stopping such unacceptable acts and denouncing all forms of hatred and extremism and brining the perpetrators to accountability.”
Earlier Saturday, the Turkish Foreign Ministry called the burning of the Quran in Stockholm as "vile attack."
"We condemn in the strongest possible terms the vile attack on our holy book, the Quran, in Sweden today (21 January), despite our repeated warnings earlier," as read by a ministry declaration.
