Muslim youths numbering up to 100, on Friday, staged a protest at the premises of National Mosque in Abuja, to register their anger with what transpired in Sweden recently that Qurans were burnt during a protest.
According to PressExpress, the protest started shortly before the Jumma’t prayers and continued after the prayers.
They carried placards with several messages like “Qur’an is our guide” among several others, and also chanting solidarity songs, the protesters barricaded the road thus causing motorists to take alternative routes to their destination.
Few days ago, an Iraqi immigrant burnt Islam’s Holy Book outside a Stockholm (Sweden) Mosque during the major Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, an act that the man said displayed his feelings about the Quran.
The action triggered widespread condemnation in the Islamic world.
