Algeria summons Swedish, Danish envoys over Quran protests

Algeria has summoned senior Danish and Swedish diplomats to condemn the continued attacks on copies of the Quran in the two countries.

Earlier on Monday, the biggest market in Qatar is reported to have removed any products which come from Sweden.

There have been protests against this in several Muslim-majority countries, with campaigners and governments demanding that Sweden ban the burning of Islam’s most sacred book.

Earlier on Monday, two people from a group calling itself “Danish Patriots” burned a copy of the Quran in Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen.
