Quran burnt in front of mosque in Sweden, government told freedom of expression, Muslim countries got angry

Quran burning in Sweden: The incident of burning of the holy book Quran by Islamic followers has created panic on the internet. Quran was burnt outside the mosque in Sweden, a country in Europe. In a video that has gone viral on social media, a protester is seen tossing a Quran, burning it and waving a Swedish flag.

The surprising thing is that the Swedish government did not take any action against the protester on the incident of burning the Quran, rather the government allowed it under freedom of expression. Since the incident, followers of Islam religion have been protesting on social media.

Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan tweeted- “No one can do anti-Islamic demonstrations in the name of freedom of expression. We will not accept this.

Bu tarz menfur eylemlere eye yummak suça ortak olmakti.
