Quran burning in Sweden sparks protest in Baghdad |
|
Dozens of Iraqis staged a protest in front of the Swedish embassy in Baghdad following the burning of a Quran outside a mosque in Stockholm, Sweden. The demonstrators, who burned an LGBT flag and chanted slogans in support of the Quran, expressed their anger over the incident. The governments of several Muslim countries, including Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and Morocco, also voiced their concerns and issued protests regarding the incident.
The burning of the Quran occurred when an individual tore up and set fire to the holy book outside Stockholm's central mosque. Swedish police had given permission for the protest to take place, but after the incident, the perpetrator was charged with agitation against an ethnic or national group. The protest in Baghdad was organized following a call by Shi'ite cleric Muqtada Sadr, who demanded the expulsion of the Swedish ambassador and the burning of the LGBT flag, among other demands. It attracted the attention of various social media platforms and gained international coverage. The incident and subsequent protests highlight the sensitivity and deep emotions surrounding religious and cultural symbols. They also reflect the interconnectedness of global events and how actions in one country can spark reactions and demonstrations in another. =============================================================================================== #NewsNow, #WorldNews, #UKNews, #GlobalNews, #BreakingNews, #CurrentEvents, #TopHeadlines, #DailyNews, #LatestUpdates, #InternationalNews, #Politics, #WorldPolitics, #BusinessNews, #FinancialUpdates, #EconomicAnalysis, #StockMarketAnalysis, #MarketsWatch, #InvestmentInsights, #TechnologyNews, #TechUpdates, #ScienceNews, #HealthUpdates, #EnvironmentalNews, #WeatherReports, #SportsNews, #SportsHighlights, #FootballNews, #BasketballUpdates, #CricketHighlights, #EntertainmentNews, #CelebrityUpdates, #MovieReviews, #MusicNews, #GamingUpdates, #TravelUpdates, #LifestyleNews, #FoodieNews, #CulturalNews, #EducationNews, #SocialIssues, #HumanRights, #ClimateChange, #SpaceExploration, #AutomotiveNews, #AviationUpdates, #BusinessTrends, #Entrepreneurship, #Startups, #Innovation, #DigitalTrends, #SocialMediaNews, #Cybersecurity, #HealthTech, #ScienceDiscoveries, #TrendingTopics, #ViralVideos, #FunnyNews, #HeartwarmingStories, #InvestigativeJournalism, #Documentary, #HistoricalNews, #ArtNews, #FashionUpdates, #BeautyNews, #ParentingTips, #EducationReform, #EducationTechnology, #TravelGuides, #AdventureTravel, #EcoTourism, #SportsAnalysis, #FinancialAdvice, #PersonalFinance, #BudgetingTips, #RealEstateNews, #HomeImprovement, #DIYProjects, #HealthTips, #NutritionAdvice, #MentalWellness, #FitnessUpdates, #YogaNews, #VeganLifestyle, #GreenLiving, #PetNews, #WildlifeConservation, #GamingReviews =============================================================================================== |
