Yemenis Turn to Streets in Massive Protest against Quran Desecration in Texas
————————————
Tens of Thousands of Yemenis poured into the streets of Sa’ada on Friday to denounce the desecration of the Holy Quran in the US, amid growing anger across the Muslim world over recent anti-Islam acts.

According to IQNA, the mass rally was held under the slogan, “general mobilization and readiness in support of the Holy Quran,” according to Yemen’s Al-Masirah. Similar rallies have also been held in several other Yemeni cities in the past two days.

Participants lifted copies of the Qur’an and banners expressing an unwavering stance toward Islam’s holy book.

The protest comes amid widespread outrage over a recent Qur’an desecration in the United States. Last week in Plano, Texas, Florida Republican Senate candidate Jake Lang sparked condemnation after desecrating a copy of the Qur’an during a public demonstration.

The act drew condemnation from Muslim communities, human rights advocates, and international observers, who described it as a provocative insult to religious beliefs.
