\n————————————
\nTens of Thousands of Yemenis poured into the streets of Sa\u2019ada 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.<\/p>\n
According to IQNA, the mass rally was held under the slogan, \u201cgeneral mobilization and readiness in support of the Holy Quran,\u201d according to Yemen\u2019s Al-Masirah. Similar rallies have also been held in several other Yemeni cities in the past two days.<\/p>\n
