AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani has slammed acts of desecration against the holy Quran in Sweden and Denmark, adding that Quran burning is not a sign of freedom of speech.
"If book burning is freedom of speech then dark ages were Europe's golden age of freedom," Kanaani wrote on his Twitter account on Sunday.
Earlier, the Swedish and Danish ambassadors in Tehran had been summoned by the Iranian Foreign Ministry, and the Islamic Republic's strong protest had been conveyed to them over the sacrilege of the holy Quran in the two European countries.
On June 28, an Iraqi man living in Sweden burned a copy of the holy Quran in front of Stockholm's largest mosque during Eid al-Adha. That caused an uproar among Muslims around the world.
A group of people committed another act of insult against the holy Quran in front of the Iraqi embassy in Stockholm on June 20, a day before a man burned a copy of the holy Quran in the front of the Iraqi embassy in Copenhagen, denmark.
