The Kingdom of Bahrain has denounced and strongly condemned the burning of copies of the Holy Quran in one of the cities of Sweden by extremists, in an act of provocation to Muslims, a grave insult to their sanctities, and incitement to hatred and violence, Bahrain News Agency (BNA) reported.
The Bahraini Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that such abhorrent practices that contradict freedom of religions, beliefs and coexistence should be strongly condemned by the international community.
The ministry called for concerted efforts to consolidate the values of tolerance, coexistence and religious freedoms, to combat extremism, fanaticism and exclusion, and to prevent abuse of all religions and beliefs.
