The Quran-burning action in front of the Turkish embassy in Stockholm is an act of disrespect towards Muslims, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has said.

Freedom of speech is a fundamental part of democracy, he said, but what is legal “is not necessarily appropriate”.
“Burning books sacred to many is an act of profound disrespect,” Cristersson wrote on Twitter.
The Swedish prime minister expressed words of sympathy to all Muslims who were offended by the provocation.
Earlier it became known that the leader of the Danish far-right party “Hard Course” Rasmus Paludan held a Quran burning action near the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm on January 21.
In response to this provocation, protesters in Turkey burned a Swedish flag outside the country’s consulate general in Istanbul.
The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, criticized the action with the burning of the Koran in Stockholm.
According to him, all those involved condemned themselves to eternal damnation.
