This is the standard establishment media spin, but in reality, Momika didn’t stoke any controversy at all. The Muslims who raged against him, threatened to kill him, and ultimately succeeded in doing so are the ones who stoked the controversy. If they had taken his burning of the Qur’an as a matter that affected him alone and didn’t impugn them at all, or if they had understood and accepted the importance of the freedom of expression for any free society, there would have been no controversy. The controversy came from them, not from Salwan Momika.
“Salwan Momika, The Quran Burner Who Sparked International Tensions,” Agence France-Presse, January 31, 2025:
Iraqi refugee Salwan Momika, who was shot dead late Wednesday in Sweden, stoked international controversy with his Koran burnings.
In June 2023, the 38-year-old with a chequered past sparked outrage when he stomped on the Islamic holy book and wrapped it in bacon before lighting a few pages on fire, slamming it shut and kicking it like a football.
Momika, along with co-protester Salwan Najem, went on to stage several similar protests, in one instance outside Iraq’s embassy in Stockholm — although he refrained from burning it on that occasion.
The Swedish decision to let his demonstration go ahead prompted Iraq to expel Sweden’s ambassador and revoke the license for telecom firm Ericsson to operate in the country….

It’s the mozlums who make the trouble, but they never get the blame. They are always ready to rape and murder anyone who in any way comes into contact with one of their number.
It’s like the people who blame the prostitutes when murdered by a serial killer, rather than blaming the murderer.
This brave man was a victim…a victim of the moslums in Iraq, a victim of the various governments, a victim of the mozlum who murdered him and a victim still, of the media who blame him for his troubles. Blaming him still, absolves the guilty for his murder.
Raja says
Well said Somehistory. The establishment media is stupid and is not taking a stand in this kind of threats and lawlessness. The West is led by insane people who have no principles or standards, beside being thuggish. Take for example Starmer, being dumb and vapid, has found his way to the top (in UK) The general public is dumb as ever. So, it goes both ways.
somehistory says
thank you, Raja.
Jesus said that “lawlessness will increase,” and we are seeing so much evidence of His words being True.
Raja says
Thank you Somehistory for the reply.
Most of what Jesus prophesied have already occurred, except 2nd coming. It is specifically prophesized that the man of lawlessness would be revealed first (2 Thessalonians 2:12) and then His coming would take place. He is of course referring to Satan as the deeds of terrorists are in conformity to the great deceiver.

Yes, Raja, we are close, so close to the rescue of mankind from satan’s grip of evil control. It will be a “great Day” when He returns.

“Yes, Raja, we are close, so close to the rescue of mankind from satan’s grip of evil control. It will be a “great Day” when He returns.”
Close, so close, you say.
Most of the world’s population doesn’t care what Jesus said, as they have their own religious beliefs.
As he’s had 2000 years to do anything, what–in your opinion–is the holdup?

100% true – very well stated.,

Yeah, Ericsson is really hurting as a result of Iraq not giving it their telecom license
Was Salwan Najem the other protester who was being tried along w/ Momika? I do hope that he’s either kept safe, or manages to leave to a safer country, like Poland or Hungary

Islam uses deceit, victimhood, and virtue-signaling as well as terrorism and violence to help silence critics of Islam’s discrimination against Non-Muslims. Islam is a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION against Non-Muslims and NOT A PEACEFUL RELIGION UNDER WESTERN LAWS(Quran 2:216; 4:95; 8:12,39,74; 9:5,29,41,49, 21:921; 88,111,123;21:92; 49:15 and more). More specifically, Islam is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Criminal Organization of continuous war, discrimination, segregation, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, deceit, hatred, incitement, sedition, rape, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran. Fundamentally, Islam funds, teaches, and promotes a Terrorist Criminal Enterprise with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah. The FRUIT of Islam is incessant WAR, terrorism, discrimination, and violence against all Non-Muslims; this FACT must be taught and broadcast to the general public to prohibit Islam, its Mosques, and its Schools. Also, Islam is an Antichrist System terrorizing Israel, Christians, and Non-Muslims. Plus, there is NO EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW in Islam or in Islamic Law(Quran 98:6-7; 9:29 and more). In Sahih Bukhari(V6,B60,N80), Abu Huraira narrates, “‘You(Muslims) are the best of peoples ever raised for mankind.’ means, the best of peoples for the people, as you bring them[Non-Muslims] with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam[see Quran 3:110].” See also Quran 3:22,151; 69:30-32; 98:6.
Non-Muslims CANNOT have peace with Islam and its Muslims because Islam and its murderous god, Allah, demand a continuous, Muslim war against unbelievers where Non-Muslims are CRIMINALS under Islam when Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” HENCE, NON-MUSLIMS MUST MAKE ISLAM, ITS MOSQUES, ITS SCHOOLS, ITS ORGANIZATIONS, ETC. ILLEGAL UNDER THE LAW. Similarly, Islam and its many Organizations must be identified and publicly declared to be MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS for their funding, teaching, and support of terrorism, violence, and discrimination against Non-Muslims(eg. Quran 9:5,29,111 and more).
Islam promotes a limitless, terroristic, Muslim war against unbelievers when Allah in Qur’an 49:15 says, “Surely the believers are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with THEIR MONEY AND THEIR LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.”
Deceitful Allah promises Heavenly Paradise to Muslims for acts of Muslim killing in a terrorist war against Non-Muslims and hypocrites when Quran 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah, so they kill and are killed…”

Salwan Momika was a worldly HERO, telling the world not to fear Islam, confront it and oppose it! I’ve communicated with Salwan, telling him what a great job he was doing, he was fearless! Salwan was an Armenian Christian from Iraq. He deserves the Nobel Peace Award! He deserves recognition by God/Jesus 🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼.

Spot on, Patrick.
