Swedish PM urges calm, reflection after Quran-burning demo FMTNews FMTWorld
STOCKHOLM: Swedish prime minister Ulf Kristersson today called for calm and reflection in the wake of this week’s protest in which a Quran was burned outside a Stockholm mosque, which has sparked outrage and condemnation.
After being granted a permit to protest by Swedish police, Salwan Momika, 37, stomped on the Islamic holy book and set several pages alight in front of the capital’s largest mosque on Wednesday.“It is of course completely unacceptable to have people who unlawfully break into Swedish embassies in other countries,” Kristersson said.
Swedish police had granted him a permit in line with free-speech protections, but later said they had opened an investigation over “agitation against an ethnic group”, noting that he had performed the burning so close to the mosque.
