A remarkable step against the provocations of the Koran in Sweden

The head of Sweden’s main Social Democratic party, Magdalena Andersson, said they are investigating an amendment to the Public Order Act that calls for provocations to burn the Koran in the country to constitute a “hate crime.”

Andersson announced at a press conference the work started by Salwan Momika, of Iraqi origin, to prevent the provocations of burning the Koran in Sweden. Andersson stated that they are considering making legal amendments without a constitutional amendment, saying: “As the Social Democratic Party, we are investigating whether an amendment should be made to the Public Order Act so that Koran burning incidents could constitute a ‘hate crime’ . due to public incitement and unsavory behaviour.” saying.

By stressing that the Danish government’s decision to submit to parliament the bill banning the burning of the Koran and other holy books, Andersson will leave Sweden alone in the international arena. Therefore, the modification of the Public Order Law should be ready next year”. He used the phrases.

Danish Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard announced at a press conference on August 25 that they would soon present a bill that would ban attacks on holy books. Hummelgaard announced that the sole purpose of the attacks on holy books was to “create hatred and sow discord”, and that the proposed law would be combined with the law that currently prohibits the burning of national flags.
