Dozens arrested at Sweden riots sparked by planned Quran burnings

[Dalit]

More than 40 people have been arrested after violent clashes in Sweden between police and people angry at plans by a far-right group to burn copies of the Quran.

Three people were injured in Norrkoping on Sunday when officers fired warning shots at rioters, police said.

The violence was sparked by a series of rallies organised by the Danish-Swedish politician Rasmus Paludan.

He says he has burned a copy of Islam's holy book and wants to do so again.

Muslims consider the Quran the sacred word of God and view any intentional damage or show of disrespect towards it as deeply offensive.

Saudi Arabia has condemned what it called the "deliberate abuse of the holy Quran by some extremists in Sweden, and provocation and incitement against Muslims".

Iran and Iraq earlier summoned the Swedish ambassadors to lodge protests.

Sweden's national police chief, Anders Thornberg, said he had never seen such violent riots following Sunday's clashes in Norrkoping, which is about 160km (99 miles) south-west of Stockholm, and nearby Linkoping.

The two cites also witnessed riots on Friday, along with the Stockholm suburb of Rinkeby and the western city of Orebro. On Saturday, there was a riot in the southern city of Malmo.
On Monday, police said 26 police officers and 14 members of the public had been injured in the violence and that more than 20 vehicles had been damaged or destroyed.

They said that around 200 people had been involved in the violence, adding they believed it was organised by networks of criminal gangs. Some of the individuals are already known to police and Sweden's security service, Sapo.

Sunday's violence in Norrkoping came after Rasmus Paludan said he planned to hold a rally there. However, he never showed up in the city.

In a statement posted by his far-right, anti-immigrant Stram Kurs (Hard Line) party, Paludan said he cancelled the rally because Swedish authorities had "shown that they are completely incapable of protecting themselves and me".

He had earlier appeared on Thursday in the central city of Jonkoping, but as he talked into a megaphone while holding a Quran, his words were drowned out by a priest ringing the bells of a local church in protest.

Protests against plans by Stram Kurs to burn the Quran have turned violent in Sweden before. In 2020, protesters set cars on fire and shop fronts were damaged in clashes in Malmö.

Paludan represented Stram Kurs party in the last Danish elections in 2019, where it received 1.8 % of the vote, failing to win a seat.

In 2020, he was jailed in Denmark for a month for a string of offences including racism.
He plans to stand in Swedish elections in September, but he reportedly does not yet have the necessary number of signatures to secure his candidature.

Lol, a loser made relevant by the knee-jerk reactions of the Muslim community.

Is it legal in Sweden to question or deny the Holocaust?

Just wondering.

Lol, a loser made relevant by the knee-jerk reactions of the Muslim community.

Loser will get politically Isolated and forced to hire security to protect himself, costing him a fortune and eventually will rethink cost of his actions. Thanks to knee jerk reactions of Muslim community.

More like you getting a rage of fit.

No, more and more people will realise how intolerant, violent and regressive the Muslim community is. Such incidents will continue to increase, as they have been, and the next generation of Muslims in these countries will realise the follies of their community all the more keenly and abandon it in even greater numbers.

Lol, a loser made relevant by the knee-jerk reactions of the Muslim community.

Why don't these outraged Muslims in Sweden instead go to Libya and Syria and help the progressive Muslims there throw out Al Qaeda and "Muslim" Brotherhood criminals rampaging there on behalf of NATO ? Do these rioting Muslims in Sweden have the courage ?

They will not. They like the secularism and liberty of Sweden far too much.

It was a good opportunity for Muslims to spread the message of Quraan more effectively.
The slogan should have been:
Read Quraan before you burn it.

 

[jamahir]

They will not. They like the secularism and liberty of Sweden far too much.

Indeed. And these outraged rioters are the types bred by NATO governments for sending them out to progressive Muslim-majority societies to destroy those societies.

It was a good opportunity for Muslims to spread the message of Quaraan more effectively.
The slogan should have been:
Read Quraan before you burn it.

That slogan is fantastic but unfortunately when we have Muslims like these :

then we have no hope of the non-Muslims ever listening to the progressive message of Islam.

Actually no. Muslims are a tiny minority. If they keep pulling shenanigans like this, there will be consequences just like in France and China. Peaceful protest would have been wiser.

Feeling second hand embarrassment

We true Muslims value the Quran more then our lives. Anything harming the Quran in any way will have to face us. The world can think of us as violent, extremist, terrorists or whatever they want it won’t matter to us. We don’t care about what people think about us we only care about Islam and about pleasing Allah. Anyone burning the Quran will be severely dealt with and made an example out of. We are believers in Allah and his messenger (ﷺ) so we don’t fear anyone or anything other than Allah. Everyone who dares harm our religion or religious text will have to face us and Allah is with the believers so we will surely be victorious.

This is what you want from Muslims .
Just do it as you do , your head will be slit.if that is what you want. Do it as you wish.

Indeed. And these outraged rioters are the types bred by NATO governments for sending them out to progressive Muslim-majority societies to destroy those societies.

Progressive get your self first. Lunatic society of west should listen. Don't develope yourself another holocaust.

We shouldn't resort to violence and damaging property of innocent. These far right want attention this is how they get it. The Quran is eternal idiots burning wont change that.
