In response to the desecration of the Quran in Sweden, people across Pakistan took to the streets on Friday, organizing massive rallies to condemn the blasphemous act. The incident occurred when an Iraqi-born refugee burned the Muslim holy book outside a mosque on the first day of Eid al-Adha last week. The nationwide protests were held in all major cities of Pakistan, with local religious leaders delivering speeches denouncing the act of desecration and demanding justice against the culprit.
