| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Swedish anti-Islamic activist Jade Sandberg burned the Koran in Stockholm. This is not her first such action, reports the Turkish TV channel A haber. The media notes that the burning of the Muslim holy book took place “under the protection of the Swedish police.” The TV channel called this action vile. It is clarified that Sandberg burned the Koran on April 26. The activist posted a video of what was happening on her social networks. In addition, she warned that she intends to organize a similar action in Malmö on May 3. Her social media profile states that Jade Sandberg is a "cleric, exorcist, demonologist" and "activist and crusader" who opposes Islam and saves Sweden and the Nordic countries from the religion. As reported by IA Regnum, earlier 47-year-old native of Iran Marjan Bayrami burned the Koran in a barbecue on the shore of the Swedish Lake Mälaren with the permission of the police and in her presence. The Iranian woman believes that “it is necessary to destroy all religions.” At the end of June 2023, the Swedish police allowed an action in Stockholm with the burning of the Koran at the main mosque on the first day of Eid al-Adha. In August 2023, during a demonstration in front of the Turkish Embassy in The Hague, a group of Dutch far-right tore and trampled the Koran. The head of the synodal department for relations between the church and society and the media of the Russian Orthodox Church, Vladimir Legoida, called the burning of the Koran in Stockholm an act of unacceptable vandalism. He stated that one cannot spit on what is sacred for another person and cross the boundaries of humanity in a political struggle. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro expressed the opinion that European leaders, who turn a blind eye to the burning of the Koran, are indirectly involved in this through their silence. He condemned the lack of reaction from the political leadership of Europe and some media outlets to the burning of holy scriptures in Sweden and Denmark. At the beginning of 2024, the mayor of Arnhem, Ahmed Markush, said that Dutch laws do not prohibit burning the Koran, such actions are consistent with the right of citizens to demonstrate. |

| #1 Lets get something clear. Religious tolerance is a result of Europe's religious wars. It's represents a trade-off. Religions tolerated in return for "rendering unto Caesar what's Caesar's". Islam doesn't - wherefore not entitled to protection. |
