Ammon News - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Thursday the Charge d'Affairs at the Swedish Embassy in Amman to protest to the Swedish government's decision to allow an extremist to burn a copy of the Quran again in Stockholm, according to a Ministry statement.

The Ministry condemned the desecration of a copy of the Quran, "an expression of a culture of hatred, and a crude provocation of the feelings of about two billion Muslims, which cannot be justified under freedom of expression at all."

The Ministry's statement noted the "need for the Swedish government to prevent the recurrence of these acts, which violate common human values, a dangerous embodiment of a culture of hatred and racism inciting violence and a manifestation of Islamophobia that Jordan absolutely condemns."
