Muslims in Pakistan were holding rallies on Friday to observe a 'Day of the Sanctity of Quran' after the South Asian Islamic nation's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif issued a call for anti-Sweden protests over last week's burning of the Islamic holy book in Stockholm.
Muslim protestors chant slogans during a rally to denounce burning of Islam's holy book 'Quran', in Peshawar, Pakistan, Friday, July 7, 2023. Muslims rallied in across Pakistan to observe a "Day of the Sanctity of Quran" after the South Asian Islamic nation's prime minister issued a call for anti-Sweden protests over last week's burning of Islamic holy book 'Quran' in Stockholm.
Anger has grown in Muslim countries since last Wednesday when a man identified in Swedish media as a Christian from Iraq burned the Quran outside a mosque in Stockholm on the festival of Eid al-Adha. "When it comes to the Quran, the nation is one," he wrote. "We will all protest nationwide today under the title of Sanctity of Quran Day and after Friday prayers."
