Thousands of members of an Islamist group rallied Friday in Bangladesh’s capital, Dhaka to protest the burning of Islam’s holy book in Sweden. Anger has grown in Muslim countries since last Wednesday when a man identified in Swedish media as a Christian from Iraq burned the Quran outside a mosque in Stockholm on the festival of Eid al-Adha. Protesters from the conservative Islami Andolon Bangladesh group, which supports the introduction of Islamic law in the Muslim-majority country, carried banners and placards reading: “Only Evil Burnt The Holy Quran”, “Boycott Sweden” and “Burning Quran Is Terrorism.”
