Once again, no one seems curious in the slightest degree about why a couple of Iraqi refugees would want to burn the Qur’an in the first place. Might it have something to do with their experience with those who believe in its contents? That’s a question that no one dares ask.
“Iraqi refugees set fire to Quran outside Swedish Parliament in Stockholm,” Euronews, July 31, 2023:
Two men set fire to a copy of the Quran on Monday in front of the Swedish Parliament in Stockholm, in a rally similar to previous events that provoked a diplomatic crisis between Sweden and the Muslim world.
Smiling wryly, Salwan Momika, a 37-year-old Iraqi refugee, and Salwan Najem trampled on a copy of the Koran before setting fire to it, as they had done at the end of June in front of the Swedish capital’s largest mosque.
The rally went off peacefully, with a handful of counter-demonstrators chanting “Allahu-Akbar!”.
Previously, the men had organised another rally on 20 July, in front of the Iraqi embassy in Stockholm, during which they desecrated the sacred book of Islam without burning it.
Both Momika and Najem have repeatedly stated that they want the Quran banned completely in the Nordic nation, which has broad free speech laws which make it possible for people to burn a Quran, or Christian Bible or Jewish Talmud without it necessarily being a crime.
The two men applied to police to stage the event, and said they wanted to “demonstrate in front of parliament and demand the banning of the Quran”.
These desecrations, which have multiplied in recent months in Sweden, have caused tension in the Muslim world.
The Swedish police, who grant permits for gatherings, always insist that they are given in the name of freedom of assembly, stressing that this is not tantamount to approving what might happen there….

The claimed “offence” to muslim “sensitivity” is a blind, a decoy. The issue is whose rules are to be followed, in other words, control.
Islam, as an ideology, is most cruel, cold hearted, and murderous, with daughter-killing, slave-taking, amputations, mass shootings, and grisly beheadings. It is a mystery where the claimed sensitivity lies. Gaining control over everybody else is its permanent agenda – “by persuasion or by force” (Ibn Khaldun).
The burning of the Book of Kill Them is utilised as an excuse for Islam’s predictable response of intimidation by criminal thuggery. It has already happened time and time again. The media persist in misdescribing these as “protests” or “demonstrations”. That is probably partly why politicians, media, and public have not grasped it yet.

Yes, it is seen, by saying “protests and “demonstrations,” as a group of peaceful people walking up and down the street carrying signs.
No one is threatened with physical harm and no assaults take place.
It’s so very far from what those two words cause the uninformed to think.

This ‘taking offence’ business is the same as the ‘perpetual victim’ game, a crude inverted-supremacy strategy to gain control ‘from underneath’ as used to perfection by spoilt brats and infants as they throw their toys out of the stroller.

Sweden stood fast during the Covid “pandemic” and never instituted lockdowns. May they remain firm in maintaining freedom of expression.

That’s a turn of events with two people of a Muslim background saying the Koran should be banned. While I agree the contents are inhumane and abhorant, it should be made available for people to read for themselves to see the horrific nature of Islam. Same for Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’. There are more references to killing Jews in the Koran than in Mein Kampf. Now there’s a thought!!!

Apparently the Momikas are Christian Iraqis. They know at first hand what it is like to be subjugated by Islam.
Remember the armed slaughter at St Mary’s Church in Baghdad in 2010? The priest was shot dead in his vestments on the altar steps. The congregation were pinned in the building where bombs were laid and demands made of the government to release certain terrorist prisoners. The Iraqi special forces stormed the church. The bombs were detonated, killing more people than were killed in 7/7 London Underground. The BBC did not think it was worth a mention until two days later when Clive Myrie referred to it as a “disaster”.

I believe they are “experts” on the so-called, and mislabeled, “religion of peace.”
There is a Psalm which says, “With people who hide what they are, I do not come in.”
These two men know about those who “hide what they are,” as this is what mozlums do until they gain the strength of numbers.
Michael Copeland says
The Koran is available to be consulted online.
http://www.corpus.quran.com has seven parallel English translations and a Word by Word breakdown.

Still no word on burning a rainbow flag. Our side may not like it, but we may be viewing a false flag. In G-d I trust.

This is a ruse. A planned deception under Taqiyyah: “a precautionary dissimulation or denial of religious belief and practice in Islam”. It’s purpose is to give the Islamic countries, especially the more radical (Iran) an excuse to pressure, attack or go to war against countries they perceive as weak in an effort to evoke fear in all western nations and advance Islam. This is obviously done on purpose and for this reason as no westerners did it. it is not a “protest”. Read the stated purpose by those who committed it (are they Shite being from Iraq or claiming to be Iraqis?). That would explain a lot. Iran is dominated by the Shia. it is confusing and twisted on it’s face but look behind it. These men know and are in all probability acting as agents, to stir up things to further Islam.
FYI says
If you burn a quran, it is as if you burned all the books in the world.
if a muslim burns a church or a synagogue, it is if he burned all the mosques in the world.
{…just waiting for islamic apologists to come up with such koranic sounding lines…}
Donovan Nuera says
They are a primitive superstitious bunch of goons; for example, they ALWAYS HAVE TO SAY FORMALLY whenever they mention ‘Allah” or Mo, the whole “PEACE BE UPON HIM” like if they don’t they will be struck down by a meteor made of porkchops! It is SOOOOOO annoying. (And what part of allah is “merciful” exactly??? Do they not know the definition of that word?)
Kepha says
I’ve “liberalized” on book burnings. If I find occult stuff in my personal library, I’ll burn it. The Qur’an, Mein Kampf, Mao’s little red book, Marx, I recognize they influenced history. But, if we hit a Day After Tomorrow scenario, they’ll be the first to warm me.
