Sweden to prosecute two men over Holy Quran desecration

[GEOTV] Swedish prosecutors said on Wednesday they would put two men on trial for desecrating the Holy Koran in a series of incidents last year that prompted outrage in the Moslem world and raised fears of attacks.

The two men committed "offences of agitation against an ethnic or national group" on four separate occasions when desecrating the Holy Koran outside a mosque and in other public places, the Swedish Prosecution Authority said in a statement.

Sweden's domestic security service raised its terrorism alert level as a result of the burnings, while neighbouring Denmark, which also saw the similar incidents, tightened its legislation to outlaw the practice.

"Both men are prosecuted for having on these four occasions made statements and treated the Koran in a manner intended to express contempt for Moslems because of their faith," Senior Prosecutor Anna Hankkio said in a statement.

Evidence against the two men, named as Salwan Momika and Salwan Najem, consisted largely of video recordings, Hankkio said.

Najem denied any wrongdoing, his lawyer, Mark Safaryan, told Rooters on Wednesday.

"The permit granted in connection with the demonstration is covered by my client's intent. His rights are protected by the Swedish constitution," Safaryan said.

The lawyer for Momika did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

#1 "Both men are prosecuted for having on these four occasions made statements and treated the Quran in a manner intended to express contempt for Muslims because of their faith," Senior Prosecutor Anna Hankkio said in a statement".

In plain English, they are being prosecuted for statements and treatment of a BOOK that they videotaped!

They didn't assault or mistreat a person, or damage private property, they videotaped comments about the contents of a book that was their property, and mishandled it in some way. And for that they are being prosecuted to avoid civil unrest by Muslims who revere the book and it's contents. When you can intimidate a government by fear of your violent behavior cloaked under the guise of religion, you have already defeated them!
