Demonstrators in some Muslim-majority nations expressed outrage Friday at the desecration of a copy of the Quran in Sweden, with many taking to the streets to show their anger.

In Iran, Iraq and Lebanon, protesters planned demonstrations after police permitted a protest Thursday in which an Iraqi of Christian origin – now a self-described atheist living in Stockholm - kicked and stood on a copy of the Quran, Islam’s holy book, outside the Iraqi embassy.

In Tehran, demonstrators set a Swedish flag on fire in protest.

The right to hold public demonstrations is protected by the constitution in Sweden. Blasphemy laws were abandoned in the 1970s. Police generally give permission based on whether they believe a public gathering can be held without major disruptions or safety risks.
