STOCKHOLM: Swedish police said they have granted a permit for a protest where the organizer plans to burn a Qur'an outside Stockholm’s main mosque on Wednesday, the start of the Muslim three-day Eid Al-Adha holiday. The police said in the written decision that the security risks associated with the burning “were not of a nature that could justify, under current laws, a decision to reject the request.” The green light came two weeks after a Swedish appeals court rejected the police’s decision to deny permits for two demonstrations in Stockholm which were to include Qur'an burnings.
It’s a single book, presumably purchased and owned by the person burning it. This is far out of context of cultural genocide.
Why do you think this person does this? Just because he/she can or maaaaayyyyybeeeee TO SEND A MESSAGE? A message that gets its meaning from history.
