Summary

A Stockholm court convicted Salwan Najem of incitement against an ethnic group for his role in Qur’an burnings in 2023, sentencing him to a fine and suspended sentence.

His co-defendant, Salwan Momika, was shot dead last week, sparking concerns of foreign involvement.

The protests strained Sweden’s relations with Muslim countries and fueled debate over free speech limits.

The government had considered banning Qur’an burnings but is no longer planning immediate action. Sweden joined NATO in March 2024, partly fearing diplomatic fallout over the burnings could affect its bid.

    You said “never see them go after anything besides Islam”.

    That’s because the cultural war against Christianity has been fought and won. I can guarantee if it was never fought in the first place you’d be in trouble right now unless you professed whatever Catholicism wanted you to (or whatever authoritarian Christianity was in place in your part of the world).

    Women were executed en masse for being witches and you don’t think that hasn’t been fought against over and over for hundreds of years? Liberalism won.

    Put on whatever blasphemous play you want to in a major Western city and people don’t care (I’m not talking about that US). Christianity is no longer sending the inquisition. It used to.

    And that’s why I’m comparing apples with apples. It just that what conservative Islam aspires to is what Christianity was 300 years ago.

    It begins with religious fascists asserting they have the right to tell you what to do. And that need to be resisted on principal.

    Christians used to think they had the right to ban stories and films with gay people in. That needed resisting on principle.

    Zionists think Israel should be a special case immune from criticism. That should be resisted on principle.

    Conservative Islamists think you should be compelled to give special treatment to the Qur’an. That should be resisted on principal.

      You need to pay more attention to current events…

      Edit:

      Nevermind, in the middle of this conversation you’re elsewhere claiming Israel isn’t commiting a genocide and what they’re doing is acceptable.

      This isn’t a serious discussion and there’s a clear reason you keep wanting to only talk about Islam or lie about Christianity.

      You’re fine with burning Korans because you’re also fine with genociding Muslims.

      And I don’t have the energy to deal with more nazis then I have to these days

        I said nothing of the sort

        Your inability to read properly and instead leap to wild conclusions is part of the problem

        you’re fine with genociding Muslims…I don’t have the energy to deal with more nazis

        Case in point
