What the petition asks
Condemnation: Issue a public statement unequivocally condemning the burning of the Quran in Sweden as an act of religious hatred and intolerance. Demonstrate our commitment to upholding the values of religious freedom and respect for all faiths.
This grave act of desecration not only undermines the principles of religious freedom and tolerance but also poses a significant threat to social cohesion.
As a nation that cherishes the values of respect, and freedom of religion, the UK government and parliament can take decisive action on this matter. The burning of any religious text, including the Quran, is a highly provocative and offensive act that has the potential to fuel hatred and create divisions within society.
