STORYLINE:
Thousands of Yemenis rallied in the rebel-held capital Sanaa on Monday to condemn the desecration of copies of the Islamic holy book Quran in Sweden and Denmark.
The protesters, carrying banners and chanting slogans, called for a boycott of Swedish and Danish goods and for the governments of those countries to apologize to Muslims. The protesters also accused the West of harboring a "hatred" of Islam and Muslims.
Earlier on Monday, two protesters from the far-right Danish group of Danske Patrioter set fire to a copy of the Quran in front of the Iraqi embassy in Copenhagen, where it held a similar demonstration on July 21 in protest against the Iraqis' storming of the Swedish embassy in Baghdad.
