The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia summoned the Swedish ambassador to condemn the burning of a copy of the Holy Quran in front of a mosque in Stockholm, which led to diplomatic repercussions in the Islamic world, according to the official media, today, Monday.

Saudi Arabia had previously condemned, on Wednesday, the incident in which the 37-year-old Iraqi citizen residing in Sweden, Silwan Momica trampled the Holy Qur’an and set it on fire.

Yesterday, Sunday, the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Swedish ambassador, "demanding the Swedish government to stop all actions that directly contradict international efforts seeking to spread the values of tolerance, moderation, and rejection of extremism, and undermine the necessary mutual respect for relations between peoples and countries," according to what was reported by the official Saudi Press Agency.
