Attacks on the Koran continue in Sweden

On Swedish state television SVT news, it was reported that the Koran, on which the death threats were written, was found at the bus stop and the others were in public places.

Gudlaug Hilmarsdottir, a member of the Ronneby Islamic Association, who made a statement to SVT, said they were extremely saddened by the incident and that the Quran is their guide in life.

In Ronneby, burned Koran pages and bacon were left in front of the building used by Muslims as a mosque in 2020.

Despite police announcing that a “hate crime” investigation was launched into the incident, the perpetrators could not be caught.

Rasmus Paludan, leader of the Danish far-right Strict Direction Party, burned the Quran in front of the Stockholm Embassy in Sweden on January 21 in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and no one was allowed to approach Paludan during the action held under the protection crowded police.

Many Islamic countries, especially Turkey, reacted to the Swedish government’s permission to burn the Koran in Paludan.

Paludan burned the Koran in front of the mosque and in front of the Turkish Embassy in Copenhagen on January 27 in Denmark.

Edwin Wagensveld, leader of the Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West (PEGIDA) movement in the Netherlands, tore up the Koran in an action that he carried out alone in The Hague.
