Swedish police allow protest against Koran desecration

STOCKHOLM:

Swedish police on Monday granted permission for a protest in front of parliament, where organizers plan to burn the Holy Koran, according to local media.

The protesters told the media that they want the Muslim holy book banned in Sweden.

"I will burn it many times until you ban it," organizer Salwan Najem told Expressen.

Najem joined Iraqi refugee Salwan Momik at two previous such protests in Stockholm - outside the city's main mosque and later outside the Iraqi embassy.

The protest was scheduled for 1:00 p.m. (1100 GMT) on Monday, according to a police permit.

Sweden has experienced strained diplomatic relations with several Middle Eastern nations due to previous protests involving the desecration of the Koran.

In addition to the permit, AFP requested a copy of the request from police but did not immediately receive a response.

Swedish police have previously emphasized that they only grant people permits for holding public gatherings, not for activities carried out during events.

At the end of June, Momika (37) set fire to pages of the Koran in front of Stockholm's main mosque.

A month later, he staged a similar protest outside the Iraqi embassy, ​​stomping on the Holy Quran, but left before burning it.

Both incidents led to widespread outrage and condemnation.

Last week, Sweden ordered 15 government bodies, including the armed forces, several law enforcement agencies and the tax office, to step up counter-terrorism efforts.

On Sunday, neighboring Denmark said it would explore legal means to stop protests involving the burning of holy texts, citing security concerns following a response to incidents desecrating the Holy Quran in the country.

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said a similar process is already underway.

Both Swedish and Danish envoys were summoned by many Middle Eastern nations.

Saudi Arabia and Iraq have called for a meeting of the Jeddah-based Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Monday to address the desecration of the Koran in Sweden and Denmark.
