Burnt copies of the Koran were sent to a mosque in Uppsala, Sweden
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Representatives of a mosque in Uppsala, Sweden received several burned copies of the Koran. This was reported on August 26 by the newspaper Aftonbladet.

“Several members of the board of the mosque in Uppsala were sent burnt Qurans to their home addresses,” the publication says .
Their co-religionists in the area must have gone above and beyond in annoying the natives... unless one of their own faked the incident.
Surveillance cameras were installed in the mosque after the incident.

As IA Regnum reported , on August 21, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian noted that cases of burning the Koran have become more frequent in Sweden and Denmark, and announced the plans of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation countries to consider imposing an embargo on the purchase of goods from the two Scandinavian countries.

A series of actions with the burning of the Koran began on June 28, when the police of Stockholm on the Islamic holiday Eid al-Adha allowed such an action to be carried out. Initially, the organizers were refused due to possible threats and terrorist attacks, but they appealed the decision in court.

The action aroused the indignation of Islamic countries - in Baghdad, protesters broke into the territory of the Swedish embassy and demanded the expulsion of the ambassador of the kingdom from the country. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the action with the burning of the Koran vile. He stated that the enemies of Islam and humanity are trying to arrange provocations under the protection of the police.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg considered the burning of the Koran legal . He stated that he understands the feelings and emotions of people, but believes that the burning was not legally illegal by the Stockholm authorities. The Secretary General noted that he considers the right of people to disagree with freedom of expression.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said that the action was another provocative act of Islamophobia, covered up by arguments about freedom of speech and democracy. The department emphasized that "the price of such a democracy is worthless," which in fact led to arbitrariness and permissiveness.

Russian leader Vladimir Putin called disrespect for the Koran a crime. During a visit to the Juma mosque in Derbent, he stressed that the Koran is a shrine for Muslims and for many other people, but in some countries religious feelings are not respected.

Since then, a number of similar actions have taken place in Sweden, Denmark, and also the Netherlands. On August 22, Salvan Momika, the organizer of the Koran burning events in Sweden, submitted 12 applications for new similar events. According to local media, the authorities considered the appeals for several days. Momika planned to burn the Muslim holy book for three weeks in Stockholm, Malmö and Örebro.

Sweden decides not to ban the burning of religious books

The Swedish authorities do not plan to impose a ban on the burning of religious books after Denmark. This was announced by the Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson , as SVT TV channel reported .

“I have a lot of respect for what Denmark is doing right now. Doing exactly the same as in Denmark would in all likelihood require amending the constitution, so this is not the best way for Sweden,” he said at a press conference in Harpsund.

Danish Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard said August 25 that the authorities intend to ban the burning of religious books. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said the proposal sends "an important political signal to the world."

As IA Regnum reported, on July 26, a radical group near the Turkish embassy in Copenhagen held a rally with the burning of the holy book of Muslims, the Koran, for the second time in a day. A few hours earlier, members of the same radical group burned the holy book of Muslims at the Egyptian diplomatic mission.

The admission of public desecration of the Torah and the Bible in Stockholm by the Swedish authorities has been criticized by the Pakistani Foreign Ministry. The rally in the capital of Sweden, which had previously been allowed by the police and where it was planned to burn religious books, took place near the Israeli embassy on July 15.

On July 5, the Swedish police received three more requests for religious book burnings. One of the applications was submitted by a woman who wants to burn the Koran at a mosque in Stockholm as soon as possible.

Permission to hold an action in Helsingborg in southern Sweden , in which a citizen planned to burn religious texts on July 12, was issued by the police.

In Stockholm on June 28, a demonstration with the burning of the Koran was allowed to take place near the mosque.
