Violent protests after Quran burning in Sweden by atoluwash(m) : 4:25 am On Sep 05, 2023



Three individuals have been apprehended in relation to a violent uprising that followed a Quran-burning incident in Sweden.

Turbulence broke out after Salwan Momika, an anti-Islam activist from Iraq, ignited a copy of the Islamic holy book on Sunday.

Law enforcement reported the arrest of ten individuals for disturbing public order in the city of Malmo.

Subsequent to the burning, approximately one hundred people congregated, resulting in several vehicles being set ablaze.

On Sunday afternoon, Mr. Momika set fire to a Quran in Varnhemstorget, a prominent city square. His past actions, which include desecrating the Quran during anti-Islam demonstrations, have led to diplomatic tensions across the Middle East.

A faction of irate protesters sought to prevent the burning, leading to a standoff with the police.

Officers endured stone-throwing, and some demonstrators even hurled electric scooters at police vehicles.

In Malmo's Rosengard neighborhood, which houses a significant immigrant population and has witnessed previous violent protests, several police cars were set alight.

Malmo's police area commander, Petra Stenkula, conveyed to local media, "I understand that a public gathering like this arouses strong emotions, but we cannot tolerate disturbances and violence like the ones we saw on Sunday afternoon. It is extremely regrettable to once again see violence and vandalism at Rosengard."

Scandinavia has experienced a surge in Quran burnings this year.

In June, Mr. Momika set fire to a copy outside Stockholm's central mosque, coinciding with the celebration of Eid al-Adha, one of the most significant festivals in the Muslim calendar.

Swedish police had given Mr Momika a permit for the protest, in accordance with their staunch free-speech laws. It later emerged the incident was being investigated for incitement of hatred.

In January, Rasmus Paludan, a politician from the Danish far-right Stram Kurs (Hard Line) party, burnt a copy of the Quran outside the Turkish embassy in Stockholm.

Last month, neighboring Denmark, which has also seen several public burnings of the Quran, said it planned to ban public desecration of holy books.

Sweden has pledged to explore legal means of abolishing protests that involve burning texts in certain circumstances.
