LONDON: The EU has reaffirmed its strong rejection of any form of incitement to religious hatred and intolerance.

It said that respect for diversity was a core value of the organization, including respect for other religious communities.

The statement came days after the Qur’an was desecrated by a protester in Sweden.

The bloc stressed that the burning of any book considered holy was offensive, disrespectful, and a blatant provocation. It added that racism, xenophobia, and intolerance had no place in the EU.
