Riyadh, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's strong condemnation and denunciation of the burning of copies of the Holy Quran by extremists in the Danish capital, Copenhagen, in a new provocative step to the feelings of millions of Muslims around the world.

The Ministry reiterated the Kingdom's position, which strongly rejects all these blatant acts and unfortunately have been repeated in several European capitals recently, under the pretext of freedom of expression, without a clear reaction towards stopping these practices.

The Ministry stressed that the Kingdom demands all European governments in which these extremist violations occurred, to urgently address all these practices that contribute to fueling hatred and conflict between followers of religions.
