Sweden Hosts Yet Another Quran Desecration Event
A Swedish woman burned a copy of the Holy Quran on Friday at Gustav Adolfs Torg Square while also carrying a cross.
According to footage of the event on social media, the woman was accompanied by a man who had an Israeli flag on his shoulder.
She was the same woman who desecrated the Holy Quran last week near Stockholm.
On Thursday, Swedish police announced they granted permission to desecration which comes before the start of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.
Meanwhile, organizers of the Eurovision contest announced that they will remove any Palestinian flags and pro-Palestinian symbols at the show next week.
Pro-Palestinian groups are expected to stage large protests in Malmo to raise awareness of their cause and protest the participation of Israel in the song competition amid the regime’s military onslaught on Gaza, where more than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the past seven months.
The Quran desecration permits come as Sweden has been widely condemned by Muslim states and organizations for allowing such acts to happen under the guise of freedom of speech.
Sweden announced last year that it was considering legal measures that would enable police to deny demonstration permits on the grounds of national security, however, no practical step has been taken by the officials so far.
This is while Denmark enacted legislation last December criminalizing the public burning of Quran copies.
