(Anadolu) The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) called on the Swedish government Tuesday to condemn the recent burning of the Muslim holy book, the Quran, outside the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm.
”While CAIR does not hold the government of Sweden responsible for this act of hate, Prime Minister (Ulf) Kristersson’s statement does not clearly convey that the government of Sweden unequivocally rejects Islamophobia as a form of hate and bigotry,” the Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization said in a letter sent to the Swedish ambassador to the US, Karin Olofsdotter.
”Unfortunately, this Quran burning incident is not an isolated act of Islamophobia in Sweden.”
