Jeddah, April 19, 2022, SPA -- The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has condemned the provocative actions of burning copies of the Holy Qur'an during anti-Muslim demonstrations, which have been taking place in Linköping, Norrköping, and other cities in Sweden. Secretary General of the OIC Hissein Brahim Taha stated that the rallies, which were organized by the Danish Right-Wing Party Stram Kurs, had further substantiated the Muslim World’s concerns of the alarming trend of Islamophobia perpetuated by extreme right supporters. The secretary general said that the event was a clear manifestation of the racist and xenophobic mindset of the organizers and that their action went against all accepted norms and values of civilized society. The secretary general reiterated his conviction that the provocative event does not reflect the views of the majority of Swedish and European citizens. --SPA 12:07 LOCAL TIME 09:07 GMT 0010 www.spa.gov.sa/w1722884
