Morocco has called back its ambassador and diplomatic officer to Sweden after protesters burnt an Islamic divine scripture, Qur’an outside Stockholm’s main mosque on Wednesday. Reacting to the incident, the North African country condemned the act, which occurred with the start of the Muslim festival of Eid-al-Adha, as “offensive and irresponsible.”
Morocco has called back its ambassador and diplomatic officer to Sweden after protesters burnt an Islamic divine scripture, Qur’an outside Stockholm’s main mosque on Wednesday.
According to Alarabiya News, the Swedish security operatives made this known in a written statement claiming that the permission was given because “the security risks associated with the burning were not of a nature that could justify, under current laws, a decision to reject the request.” Turkey, which has rejected the request due to Stockholm's reluctance to fight down on Kurdish groups it considers"terrorists," took special offence that police had authorised the January protest.
