The Swedish government has once again authorized a demonstration that took place today, during which the Holy Koran was burned in front of a Mosque in Stockholm.

This new offensive and irresponsible act disregards the feelings of more than a billion Muslims during this sacred period of the great pilgrimage to Mecca and the blessed feast of Eid Al-Adha.

Regardless of the political positions or differences that may exist between countries, the Kingdom considers it unacceptable that the faith of Muslims should be disrespected in this way, nor can the principles of tolerance and the values of universalism be reduced to accommodating the views of a few while showing so little regard for the beliefs of more than a billion Muslims.

Faced with these repeated provocations, committed under the complacent gaze of the Swedish government, and on the Very High Instructions of His Majesty King Mohammed VI - Commander of the Faithful, may God assist Him, the Chargé d'Affaires of the Kingdom of Sweden in Rabat was summoned today to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During the meeting, the Swedish diplomat was informed of the Kingdom of Morocco's most vigorous condemnation of this offense and rejection of this unacceptable act.

Similarly, the Ambassador of His Majesty the King to the Kingdom of Sweden was recalled to the Kingdom for consultations for an indefinite period.
