Koran burning

[Rajoo]

A copy of Koran was burned by a wingnut in Sweden to protest Turkeys opposition to Sweden joining NATO. I don't trust Erdogan nor does Turkey ever plays it straight, but understand they are a strategic ally. Of course, Turkey lodged the usual diplomatic protest but what bothers me here is the comment Saudi Arabia.

Several Arab countries including Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Kuwait denounced the Koran-burning. "Saudi Arabia calls for spreading the values of dialogue, tolerance, and coexistence, and rejects hatred and extremism," the Saudi Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Saudis calling for tolerance and coexistence is in itself laughable, but I am wondering what they would say or do if a Saudi national were to burn a Bible in Riyadh.

Performance provocation, again.
