The United Arab Emirates summoned the top Swedish diplomat in the country on Friday to protest the newest attack on the Quran in Stockholm, the UAE Foreign Ministry confirmed.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has summoned the Charge d’Affaires at the Embassy of the Kingdom of Sweden to the UAE, and handed her an official note of protest against the repeated attacks and abuses on copies of the Holy Quran committed by extremists in the Kingdom of Sweden," it said.

The ministry criticized the Swedish government for allowing an event, during which a copy of the Quran was stomped on, to take place outside the Iraqi embassy in Stockholm on Thursday. Iraq expelled the Swedish ambassador the same day.
