Sweden: Police order banning Qur’an burnings allows for the burning of scriptures of other religions
This makes it undeniable that the Swedish ban on burning the Qur’an is wholly and solely a capitulation to the violent threats of Islamic jihadis.

France: Muslim beats wife, tells daughter ‘Dad has the right to hit mom to educate her’
The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them.

Muslim cleric: Qur’an ‘calls – explicitly, loudly and resoundingly – to wage jihad for the sake of Allah’
Islamic apologists in the U.S. routinely deny this, and claim that passages such as Qur’an 9:29, which Adlan quotes below, refer only to incidents in Muhammad’s life and have no relevance for twenty-first century situations.

OIC demands ‘severe counter-measures’ against burning of the Qur’an
The OIC has been trying for years to intimidate the West into discarding the freedom of speech and adopting Sharia blasphemy laws.

Enraged Muslims in Pakistan, Iraq, and Lebanon protest Qur’an-burning in Sweden
Muqtada al-Sadr asked a pertinent question: he asked why “doesn’t the burning of the gays’ rainbow flag represent freedom of expression.” He has a point, but not as much of one as he thinks.
