Protesters Storm Swedish Embassy in Baghdad After Quran Burnt In Stockholm

Dozens of Iraqis gathered on June 29 in front of the Swedish embassy in Baghdad to protest at the burning of a Koran outside a mosque in the Swedish capital Stockholm. The governments of several other Muslim countries, including Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Morocco, issued protests about the incident. A man tore up and burned a Koran outside Stockholm's central mosque on Wednesday June 28 after Swedish police granted permission for the protest to take place. After the burning, Swedish police charged the man who carried it out with agitation against an ethnic or national group. Protesters gathered in Baghdad shortly after populist Shi'ite cleric Muqtada Sadr called for demonstrations outside the Swedish embassy in Baghdad, expelling the Swedish ambassador. #Shorts #Quran #Koran #Iraq #Sweden #Stockholm #NATO #UAE #Turkey #WorldNews n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
