 Danish diplomat is summoned by Saudi Arabia to protest the Holy Quran's desecration

According to state media early on Friday, Saudi Arabia summoned a Danish diplomat to protest the burning of the Holy Quran in Copenhagen by an extreme-right organization.

Foreign ministry representatives delivered a protest note to the Danish charge d'affaires on Thursday, asking for an end to "these disgraceful acts, which violate all religious teachings (and) international laws " and can "fuel hatred between religions," according to the Saudi Press Agency.

On Monday, the far-right organization Danske Patrioter published a video showing a man burning and profaning what seems to be the Holy Quran.

A special conference of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), based in Jeddah, has been summoned by Saudi Arabia and Iraq to discuss the burning of the Holy Quran in both Sweden and Denmark. This meeting is scheduled to take place on Monday.

Additionally, on the same day, Pakistan and Egypt continued to protest the numerous sacrilegious acts that had occurred in Europe and caused great outrage and condemnation throughout the Muslim world.

Outside of its embassy in Copenhagen, Pakistan denounced the profanation of the Muslim holy book as well as the disrespect of its national flag.

Several Muslim nations, including Iraq, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and Morocco, have expressed their anger at the happening, with Iraq calling for the man's expulsion so that he might stand trial there.
