He also called on Sweden to take an immediate step to end desecration of the Holy Qur'an and guarantee that such acts will not be repeated in the future.

Abdulsalam stressed that Islamic countries should send a firm message to the Swedish government to take the necessary action.

Violent clashes continue over desecration of Qur'an in Sweden

Violent clashes with counter-demonstrators continued in Sweden for the third consecutive day over desecration of the Holy Qur’an, police said on Sunday.

In a statement, police announced that the protesters burnt litter bins, a bus and a car in a series of incidents in the southern city of Malmo overnight.

"The situation calmed down towards 3:00 am (0100 GMT)," police spokeswoman Kim Hild told SR public radio.

She said no officers were hurt, but a number of members of the public were slightly injured.

Nearly 20 complaints had been filed, including for vandalism.

Similar clashes were held in recent days in protest at the blasphemous act.

On Saturday, fierce clashes broke out between police and protesters in a central Sweden Muslim-dominated area during demonstrations against the move.
