Malaysia wants to distribute more copies of the Quran

Malaysia has once again announced, that the country wants to distribute one million copies of the Quran. The move includes 15,000 copies translated into Swedish.

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim made the commitment during a virtual meeting with Turkish President Erdogan.

Anwar made a similar move back in February, in efforts to address the Western perception of Islam.

The 15,000 copies of the Quran to be translated into Swedish, is due to the country’s association with recent Quran burnings.

“I take this opportunity to inform President Erdogan about Ma- laysia’s efforts to combat Islamophobia. Specifically addressing the burning of the Quran in Sweden,” Anwar said.

“I strongly condemn this act, which hides behind the freedom of expression upheld by the West,” he further expressed during the meeting.
