“Despite all the warnings from our country, we condemn the vile attack on our holy book, the Koran, in Sweden today, in the strongest possible terms.” she condemned him.

In a statement made yesterday by the Stockholm Police Department, it was claimed that Paludan was allowed to demonstrate on Saturday near the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm.
