News - World: The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has called for collective measures to prevent future incidents of Qur'an desecration after an Iraqi immigrant publicly burned a copy of Islam’s holy book outside a mosque in the Swedish capital of Stockholm.

The 57-member organization made the plea in a statement on Sunday, after convening an emergency meeting of its executive committee in Saudi Arabia's Red Sea city of Jeddah to address the consequences of the sacrilegious act.

"We must send constant reminders to the international community regarding the urgent application of international law, which clearly prohibits any advocacy of religious hatred," OIC Secretary-General Hissein Brahim Taha said.
