On Saturday, Jordan’s Foreign Ministry stressed the Kingdom's rejection and condemnation of the act, saying that the refusal of extremism, intolerance, and incitement to hatred is a collective responsibility.

Fury about the incident swept through Arab countries, with foreign ministries of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the UAE, Egypt, and Kuwait also condemning the act in separate statements, blaming the Swedish authorities for allowing it.
