\nThis is the second Islamophobic incident in Europe taking place inside one month, with Sweden\u2019s capital Stockholm hosting terrible incident of Quran\u2019s burning a few days ago.
\nWhole Islamic world had reacted to the heinous act by anti-Islamic far right extremists \u2013 including stern statements by Pakistan, Turkiye, Iran, Qatar and many more.

\nOn Tuesday, T\u00fcrkiye summoned the Dutch ambassador in Ankara, Joep Wijnands, over \u201ca vile attack\u201d on Quran, Turikye\u2019s TRT World reported.
\n\u201cWe condemn in the strongest possible terms the vile attack of an anti-Islamic person in The Hague, Netherlands, on January 22, targeting our holy book, the Quran,\u201d the Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.
\n\u201cThis despicable act, which, after Sweden, took place this time in the Netherlands, insulting our sacred values and containing a hate crime, is a clear declaration that Islamophobia, discrimination and xenophobia know no bounds in Europe,\u201d it added.
\n\u201cThese actions directly target the fundamental rights and freedoms, moral values and social tolerance of not only Muslims but all humanity, and it also harms the culture of living together in peace,\u201d the statement stressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
