In recent weeks, the recurring incidents of the desecration of Islamic sanctities in Europe, particularly in Sweden and Denmark, have drawn unprecedented anger and outrage across the Muslim world.
Several Muslim-majority countries have registered protests over enabling of Islamophobia under the guise of freedom of speech in Stockholm and Copenhagen, summoning or expelling their envoys.
Condemnations poured in immediately after a far-right rally was held in Stockholm on Thursday, which involved individuals kicking and partially damaging a copy of the Holy Qur’an – the second such incident in the Scandinavian country in less than a month.
In a separate incident in Denmark on Friday, a man set ablaze a copy of the Muslim holy book outside the Iraqi embassy in Copenhagen and also burned the Iraqi flag in an event streamed live.
The two incidents came almost a month after Salwan Momika, a 37-year-old Christian Iraqi refugee in Sweden, desecrated a copy of the Holy Qur’an in front of Stockholm’s largest mosque during the Islamic Eid al-Adha festival under police protection.
