In Sweden, thousands of people demonstrated against the burning of the Koran

Sydsvenskan reports that three thousand people demonstrated in Stortorget, Sweden, on Sunday, July 9, demanding a ban on the burning of the Koran. Swedish Muslims who gathered at the demonstration demanded that the government revise the country's legislation and make changes that would prohibit those who want to desecrate the holy scriptures. "We Muslims are offended. That's why we are here today. And this is just a spark and it should lead to further reform of Swedish legislation," said one of the organizers of the action. The organizers distributed printed copies of the Koran to the protesters, about 500 copies in total. Then all the gathered people prayed together. Let us remind you that on June 27, in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, on the first day of Eid al-Adha, an Iraqi immigrant publicly burned the Holy Quran in front of the city's main mosque. After that, Stoltenberg emphasized that the burning of the Koran should not be a reason for Sweden not joining NATO.
