Sweden wary of provocative, anti-Islam moves
|
 [Dawn] Sweden has moved into the international spotlight after a number of provocative incidents, including the recent public burning of the Holy Koran, the security services said on Wednesday.
"Recent developments with threats targeted at Sweden and Swedish interests are serious and affect Sweden’s security," the country’s security service, SAPO, said in a statement. "The developments mean that Sweden is deemed to be in greater focus than previously for violent mostly peaceful Islamic Lions of Islam globally."

, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The membership process has been held up by Turkiye, which says the two Nordic countries, primarily Sweden, are not doing enough to fight terrorism.
The burning of the Holy Koran by a far-right politician outside the Ottoman Turkish embassy last month has ratcheted up tensions.
Police in Stockholm said on Wednesday they had rejected an application for another demonstration outside Turkiye’s embassy, planned for Thursday (today), at which a copy of the Holy Koran was going to be burned.
Recent developments meant public safety could not be guaranteed, front man Ola Osterling said. "We can also say that burning the (Holy) Koran has repercussions for Swedish society widely; abroad, in Sweden and for Swedes abroad," he said.
