Momika burned the Quran again! Arrested 15 people who tried to prevent it
In Sweden, attacks on the Koran continue. Salwan Momika, of Iraqi origin, who went to the scene of the provocation, accompanied by extensive police protection, burned the Koran despite the reactions.
Nearly 100 protesters gathered around hurling rocks and bottles at Momika and the police. Immediately afterwards, as the police were abducting Momika from the scene, a fight broke out between the protesters and the police. After the incident, the police announced that 15 people were arrested.
The Malmö police statement stated that the action was very violent and that riots occasionally broke out. It was reported that the police began to monitor the area in case an incident happened again.
PROVOCATIONS IN SWEDEN AND DENMARK
Although attacks on the Qur’an have intensified recently in Sweden and Denmark, allowing these provocations generates reactions.
Rasmus Paludan, a far-right Danish politician and leader of the Solid Direction Party, continued his provocations to burn the Holy Quran in the Swedish cities of Malmö, Norköpin and Jönköping and in the capital Stockholm during the 2022 Easter holidays.
Paludan burned the Koran in front of the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm on January 21 and in front of the Turkish Embassy in Copenhagen on January 27.
Back in Stockholm, Salwan Momika set fire to the Koran under police protection in front of the Stockholm mosque on June 28, which coincides with the first day of Eid al-Adha.
Momika trampled on the Koran and the Iraqi flag under police protection in front of the Iraqi embassy in Stockholm on July 20, and in front of the Swedish parliament on July 31 and 14.
Bahrami Marjan, of Iranian origin, burned the Koran on Angbybadet beach in Stockholm on August 3 under police protection. (AA)
