The Organization of Islamic Cooperation has called an emergency meeting of the executive committee on the issue of burning a copy of the Quran in Sweden.

According to Arab News, the spokesman of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation has said that the meeting will discuss the measures to be taken against this heinous act and adopt a collective stance on the necessary measures.

It should be noted that on Wednesday in front of the largest mosque in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, 37-year-old refugee Salwan Momika desecrated the Quran and set the pages on fire.

Other countries, including the Muslim and Arab world, have also strongly condemned this incident, while some countries have also recalled their ambassadors in response.

The foreign office in various countries has summoned the ambassador of Sweden that the protest has been recorded.

Thousands of supporters of Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr demonstrated in front of the Swedish embassy in the Iraqi capital Baghdad on Friday, demanding the end of diplomatic relations with Sweden.

Swedish police said on Wednesday that a man who set fire to a copy of the Koran has been charged with incitement against an ethnic or national group.

While Sloan Momika, who is involved in the incident, has threatened that he will again burn the copy of the Quran with the flag of Iraq in front of the Iraqi embassy in Stockholm in the next ten days.

Sylvan Momika says he knows there will be backlash for his act and that he has received ‘thousands of death threats.’
