“I call on the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to meet immediately because of the Quran burning and to show its support for Islam. I also call on the Arab League to meet in Iraq or outside Iraq regarding this matter.”
3. Close of media
4. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Muqtada al-Sadr, Iraqi Shiite cleric:
“I call on the countries of the world to enact a law criminalizing the burning of the Quran and (to) consider it as a terrorist crime. And since attacking the Semites and the LGBTQ community is a crime, burning the Quran must be considered a crime too.”
5. Close of media
6. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Muqtada al-Sadr, Iraqi Shiite cleric:
"The burning (of) the Quran will exacerbate the differences in the world and destabilize global security, but at the same time it will prevent normalization with Israel. The Arab and Islamic countries are angry and will not normalize with Israel from now on.”
7. Close of media
8. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Muqtada al-Sadr, Iraqi Shiite cleric:
“The burning of the Quran was by a Christian person, that does not mean he represents Christianity. Christians are our brothers in religion, not only in Iraq, but all over the world, and the (Iraqi) government must protect Christians in Iraq.”

STORYLINE:
The influential Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr on Thursday called on the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Arab League to meet and show its support for Islam following the notification that the Quran was potentially going to be burnt during a protest in Sweden.
Protesters angered by the planned burning of a copy of the Quran by an Iraqi man in Sweden stormed the Swedish Embassy in Baghdad Thursday, overrunning the diplomatic compound and starting a fire.
Hours later, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani cut diplomatic ties with Sweden.
Al-Sadr also called for laws to criminalise the burning of the Quran.
"Burning the Quran must be considered a crime," he said.
