Two arrested amid Sweden riots after latest Quran burning

2023-09-05

[IsraelTimes] Swedish police say they arrested two people and detained around 10 others after a ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful riot broke out at a protest involving a burning of the Koran, police said.

The protest was organized by Iraqi refugee Salwan Momika, whose protests — which have included public desecrations of the Moslem holy book — have sparked outrage across the Middle East.

Sunday’s protest was held in a square in the southern city of Malmo, which has a large immigrant population, and according to public broadcaster SVT around 200 people had showed up to watch.

"Some onlookers have shown upset feelings, after the organizer burned writings," police say in a statement.

"The mood was at times heated," the statement says, adding that a "~~violent~~ mostly peaceful riot" occurred.

Local media report that some onlookers threw rocks at Momika, and video from the scene showed some trying to break through the cordon before being stopped by police.

In another video a man could be scene trying to stop the police car that transported Momika from the location by getting in front of it.

Through a series of demonstrations, Momika has sparked anger directed at Sweden and diplomatic tensions between Sweden and several Middle Eastern countries.

In July, Israel protested after Sweden gave permission to a protester to burn a Torah, though the demonstrator said he only intended to make a point about the Koran burning

...One of the basic tenets of Islam is that once a Koran has been printed it is expected to last for all time, no matter how old, ratty, and smelly other, lesser holy books may become. Should it actually become necessary to put a Koran out of its misery there is a ritual that includes extensive charivari, featuring long drawn-wailing and head bonking, ritual wife beating, and the sacrifice of dozens of women's noses and pubic lips. When the actual disposal has been completed there is a prescribed period of celebratory gun sex with the expectation of a minimum of two hundred casualties. Should actual infidels dispose of a Koran, Islamic custom calls for three weeks of rioting and a minimum of three dozen dead, which is a holdover from the days of Moloch worship....
s and never planned to set a Torah alight.
