Remember, Old Joe Biden just sent $10 billion to Iran.
“Sweden says Iran was behind thousands of text messages calling for revenge over Quran burnings,” by Jan M. Olsen, Associated Press, September 24, 2024:
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Swedish authorities accused Iran on Tuesday of being responsible for thousands of text messages that were sent to people in the Scandinavian country calling for revenge over the burnings of Islam’s holy book in 2023.
According to officials in Stockholm, the cyberattack was carried out by Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, which hacked an SMS service and sent “some 15,000 text messages in Swedish” over the string of public burnings of the Quran that took place over several months in the summer of 2023.
Senior prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist said a preliminary investigation by Sweden’s SAPO domestic security agency showed “it was the Iranian state via the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, IRGC, that carried out a data breach at a Swedish company that runs a major SMS service.”
The Swedish company was not named. There was no immediate comment from Iranian authorities on the accusations from Sweden.
In August 2023, Swedish media reported that a large number of people in Sweden had received text messages in Swedish calling for revenge against people who were burning the Quran, Ljungqvist said, adding that the sender of the messages was “a group calling itself the Anzu team.”
Swedish broadcaster SVT published a photo of a text message, saying that “those who desecrated the Quran must have their work covered in ashes” and calling Swedes “demons.”
The protests were held under the freedom of speech act, which is protected under the Swedish constitution. The rallies were approved by police. However, the incidents left Sweden torn between its commitment to free speech and its respect for religious minorities….

Doesn’t Iran have its hands full w/ Israel as yet, given how its support to Hamas & Hizbullah have been in vain? Where does it get the bandwidth to take on qur’an burners in Europe?

Trust the mullahs to get all their priorities straight, like killing their dissidents abroad and the like, even if they get beaten to a pulp elsewhere.

When I read the report early in the small hours, I thought that Sweden should stop the trials of those two who burned the book of demon filth. They never should have been, since the people are told they have ‘freedom of speech’ and the burning wasn’t of a ‘religious person.’ It was a book and not a nice, peaceful, book of morality.
If the trials go through, iran will have scored more points with the mad mozlum mobs.
Sweden should tell iran that the Swedes aren’t bound to the dictates of the scummy dross of mankind.
Westman says
Words printed on paper by a machine, The Book, becomes sanctified through an unknown otherworldly process though it is an assembly of varying texts filtered through early “scholars” and translated into a half-dozen English variations. And in old age it seems to line the canals of Europe, growing slime and rot without a whimper while truly ashen copies, expired with heat, arouse the most heated of tempers and outrage.
Nobody holds a funeral for a Quran. They were damaged and destroyed during the entire militant expansion of Islam. Today’s outrage over damaged, destroyed, or, the baseless accusations of such to Qurans is just a political tool against the West and a method to gain advantage over other Muslims. Most grotesque is when a Muslim is killed, mutilated, or burned for some false accusation.
It’s illogical to think that outrage at more powerful societies will lead to less of something that causes no physical or economic damage. Ignore it and it goes away. Openly show that it is a useful tool to control immature emotions, a sure-fire irritant, and it will grow.

Nicely said, Westman. when they see something works, ‘racism, phobia, hurt feelings,’ etc, they use it. the rioting over the burning of a book works.
I have the feeling that they don’t really have ‘hurt feelings’ over the burning. It’s just a tool for them to use so they grow stronger, demanding more and more…or else.

We still have a few of the terror guides that were sent out by the terror org CAIR. We take them to the range where we use them with Israeli made IMI ammunition. It creates a fair amount of koran dust and paper particles. We sweep those up and use them to soak up dog piss and vomit. We tried using pages from the terror guide to line the cat box, but they thought it was redundant. They’re very clean animals and wouldn’t want to crap on crap.
