The previous anti-Islam “Burn the Quran”-actions in Sweden are seen as a provocation and a express of hate, that has created an outrage in the Muslim parts of the world. Not least in Turkey, who already has a very tense relation to Sweden in regards to Sweden’s plans to join NATO.

“We condemn in the strongest possible terms the vile attack on our holy book … Permitting this anti-Islam act, which targets Muslims and insults our sacred values, under the guise of freedom of expression is completely unacceptable,” Turkey’s foreign ministry said, CNBC reports.

Turkey who is a NATO-member considers to block Sweden from ever joining NATO due to the Quran-burning actions, that has occurred in EU-countries like Sweden, but also in the Netherlands and in Denmark.
