Revolution Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Quote There has been a third night of unrest in Sweden after protests against a far-right group which burned a copy of the Quran and planned to do so again. Violence broke out in the city of Malmö late on Saturday after a gathering of the Stram Kurs, or Hard Line, movement led by the extremist Rasmus Paludan. Vehicles were set on fire, and some protesters threw stones at the police. At least 16 police officers are reported to have been injured and several police vehicles destroyed in unrest that followed the far-right group's rallies, including in the suburbs of Stockholm and in the towns of Linköping and Norrköping. Sweden's national police chief Anders Thornberg said demonstrators had shown an indifference to the lives of police officers, adding: "We have seen violent riots before. But this is something else." Iraq's foreign ministry summoned the Swedish charge d'affaires in Baghdad on Sunday and warned the affair could have "serious repercussions" for relations between Sweden and Muslim communities in general. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61134734 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshBTW Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Not during Ramadan I don’t understand what they hope to achieve. They claim to want immigrants to integrate but then do things like this that will only further isolate them. On second thought though, people doing this probably don’t want them to integrate at all and just be deported at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchyisback Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 When will either sides ever learn? Stop provoking Muslims by burning religious books. As for the “unrest”, terrorism is still a crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxy Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 They choose the holly month of Ramadan to provoke Muslims, you can see it with this situation, attacking Palestinians in the Aqsa mosque, campaigns to prevent the hijab, and China’s camps. They still expect no retaliation or a fight back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both cases of the two sides of the same extremist coin. Edited April 17, 2022 by JoshBTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the fact will always remain, every action has a reaction. And Islam is not a monolith where we share a hive mind, so if they choose to riot this way it’s their choice, same way the far right chose to show their phobia.

WitnessOblivia Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 It's disrespectful behaviour to burn the Quran obviously. Even though I personally don't care about any holy book or religion. But this extremely violent behaviour is disgusting and way out of line. Nothing can justify this violent behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elusive Chanteuse Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Its just a book so the response from Muslims is ridiculous but it also doesn't achieve anything but upset ppl. This kind of protest statement doest make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wastedpotential Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I get that it's obviously disrespectful to burn the Quran during Ramadan but why isn't this behavior condemned entirely? Violent rioting seems entirely counterproductive to achieve a resolution to the issue at hand, unless all they want to achieve is to voice their discontent violently. Spoiler Also, if some radical Islamic group burned the Bible and Christians started burning cars and attacking cops we would be having a very different conversation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
