Al-Azhar Al-Sharif, one of the most respected Islamic institutions in the world, has strongly condemned the decision of Sweden and Denmark to allow policies of hostility and repugnant racism against Muslims, which permit terrorist criminals to burn the Qur'an. 

In a statement, Al-Azhar Al-Sharif called for Arab and Muslim people to boycott Swedish and Danish products, regardless of their size, in support of their religion and its holy book. 

The institution also urged Islamic governments and organizations to stand together and take a unified and considered stance against the violations of these countries, which do not respect religious sanctities and only understand the language of materialistic interests. 

The statement expressed concern about the international community's silence on these serious international crimes and how that silence encourages these countries to continue committing acts of blatant hostility against Islam and Muslims. 

It's worth noting that some European countries, such as Sweden and Denmark, allow gatherings to burn the Qur'an under the guise of freedom of expression, while Arab countries and Russia strongly condemn these actions, which incite hatred and violence and have nothing to do with freedom of expression.
