KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysia strongly condemns a decision by the Swedish authorities to approve the burning of the Quran yesterday in Stockholm.

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir in a Twitter thread today said the decision by the Swedish court was not a progressive move in the efforts to enhance mutual respect and understanding for the betterment of humankind.

“The desecration of the Holy Book, while Muslims around the world are celebrating Eid Al-Adha, is very offensive to Muslims worldwide and violates the universal principle of respect and understanding towards all religions and their Holy Scriptures,” he said. – Bernama, June 29, 2023
