I’m not in favor of book-burning. I’d prefer that people read the Qur’an and know what’s in it, rather than burn it. But apparently Sweden is a Sharia state now, and burning the Qur’an is illegal. Would this manhunt be on if Stram Kurs had burned a Bible? Of course not. If Stram Kurs had burned a Bible, it would be hailed as “courageous” by the Swedish intelligentsia. But when the burned book is a Qur’an, it’s a different story for the cowardly Swedish authorities.
“Swedish Police Hunt for Danes Who Burned Qur’an in No-Go Zone,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, September 12, 2020:
Swedish police are hunting for members of an anti-Islam group from Denmark who are alleged to have burned a copy of the Qur’an in Stockholm’s no-go Rinkeby suburb.
Swedish police say they are searching for a blue Skoda car registered in Denmark in connection to the burning of a copy of the Qur’an on Thursday, saying an investigation into incitement to racial hatred has been launched.
The incident is thought to be connected to controversial anti-Islam campaigner and lawyer Rasmus Paludan who has planned several demonstrations across Stockholm this weekend, newspaper Aftonbladet reports.
Towe Hägg, press spokesman at the Stockholm Police, spoke to the newspaper about the upcoming demonstrations, saying: “They have not been given permission or rejection, the issue is still being prepared.”
Video of the Qur’an burning was posted on YouTube on Thursday and has garnered over 60,000 views, showing a man setting the Islamic holy book ablaze in the central shopping area of Rinkeby. The man in the video states: “I am from Stram Kurs, and we are here in Rinkeby.”
Stram Kurs (Hard Line) is the name of the anti-Islam group headed by Paludan and has been behind several controversial demonstrations in Denmark, some of which have led to riots and violence….

I don’t know why Jihad Watch doesn’t cover France very much, I’ve posted multiple stories in the newsfeed and in news tips and not one story about even the most shocking ones.

Jihad Watch has covered hundreds of stories on France, including one on Charlie Hebdo today:
https://www.jihadwatch.org/category/france
Are you upset that Jihad Watch also covers stories on places like Sweden, as here? Why so?
This site–*no site*–can cover everything. But it does a pretty damn good job.
Michael Avery says
“Are you upset that Jihad Watch also covers stories on places like Sweden, as here? Why so?”
Of course not, just there have been some shocking stories out of France that deserve coverage too. I mean an Algerian tossing his son out of an 5 story window is more notable than the story about a Muslim saying they are number two in France.
gravenimage says
One can argue this, of course. The first is an act of savagery, the second Muslims crowing about their growing strength in France over all.
Ultimately, it is up to Robert Spencer to decide what to include and what there sadly is no room for. You should continue to send in stories, though–Spencer does not miss much, but there are some stories he is not familiar with.
I found the terrible story from France:
“An Algerian causes a tragedy in France: He throws his son off 6 years through the 5th floor window”

Sounds like an attempted “Honor Killing”, aimed at hurting the mother. *Ugh*.
Keith O says
The Swedish police should be cleaning out the “no go zones” instead of hunting down someone who burned a book.
And why are there even no go zones? why was this allowed to happen?
I know why, but it is still difficult to get my head around. An entire country committing suicide like this is beyond comprehension.

They’re to scared. Inviting these barbaric people to hotdogs (halal) and pizza is the normal thing to do in Absurdistan. Sweden’s gone.

Swedish government is pro muslim. Don´t forget that the government is “social democRats, greens) (the antisemitic party) communists and so called liberal party and a former nazi party Center party.
They think they will rule Sweden together with the muslims.
Danish people are just t he contrary. They are brave and even their social democrats cannot go against the people.
Mr Paludan is a very brave man and he read Qoran so he knows what kind of book it is.
It is a book very similar to hitler´s mein kampf it seems that hitler was very influencec by this pre nazi book.

I salute Rasmus Paludan.

Sweden is going down the toilet and taking it’s population with , thanks to you their stupid ignorant mindless weak leaders.
Dave from San Antonio says
I think everyone should be allowed to burn one qur’an a day. Remember the toilet paper shortage? I didn’t have the chance to burn the one I had. I’ll buy another, soak it in bacon grease and see what happens when you apply fire to it. Am I being hateful? No. If they are allowed to kill and burn people in cages only…for being in a different religion…I hope you see what I mean…
Peter35 says
Not to mention beheading people, throwing people into vats of sulphuric acid, etc..
Yet, as the new ‘protected species’, they are to all intents and purposes, getting away with these atrocities, and YOU will be punished if you criticize them.
A hell of a lot of traitors should be rounded up and shot. Norwegians shot Quisling for collaborating with the Germans, yet he did not ruin the country, while Norway’s ‘leaders’ today are doing just that—with impunity.
DavidR says
Terrorism has worked in Europe. Muslims are accommodated. If they misbehave it’s not reported on or the report is defanged. Has any Muslim organization ever said “thank you” to any European country for saving Muslim refugees escaping the brutal way Muslims treat each other?

And should that not be a warning, that even once you’re all Muslim, you’ll be treated even worse than before?

The Swedes exhibit the same cowardice in the face of Islam as they displayed when confronted by the Germans in 1939. For over 5 years Sweden kept Germany going in the Second World War with supplies of Iron Ore and Molybdenum. Without this the German Military would have been out of supplies in two months.

What they did working with the Swiss dilpmat corp and the Pope they tell the government of Finland Spain Hunger ad other nation what was going on.

………………………..
What is the “Jewish World Federation”? There is a World Jewish Congress, founded in Geneva in 1936–is this what “DefenderofIslam” means? Who knows?
Then, what point is he trying to make here? That Hitler had the right to slaughter Jews because some Jewish group allegedly failed to broadcast information about the death camps?
In fact, the World Jewish Congress heard about the “Final Solution” in 1942, and as bad as things were in Nazi Germany they were slow to give this credence, as were many other good people. Nonetheless, the WJC organized demonstrations against Nazi brutality towards Jews, and was involved in rescue efforts.

This is not quite true–Finland did turn over Austrian Jewish refugees to the Nazis–but this caused such a scandal when the Finnish population learned of it that this was the last of this collaboration with the Nazis re the Holocaust. Himmler continued to pressure Finland, but they did not comply. Finnish Jews were protected.
There was a lot of persecution against Jews in Fascist Spain–all Synagogues were closed–but Spanish Jews were not deported to camps, and even non-Spanish Jews enjoyed some protection.
What does “Brian Hoff”–who has always lauded Hitler–think of this brave resistance?
Brian Hoff says
The evidence they have was one jew who escaped the death camp haveing only one witness isnot enough to go public. The proofs came when Soviet Union captive death camp in Poland. Hande thought diplmat cannel was the best way to deal with it. First Franco have his douth about Hitler camo he put jew in.

Well, this is just ridiculous–it was not the case that a single Jewish victim escaped from one camp and this was the only evidence of the existence of death camps in Nazi Germany, and that there was nothing to confirm this until the camps were liberated in 1945.
Firstly, the existence of concentration camps in Germany was well known, and had been for several years. It was specifically death camps that came as a shock to many in the free West. But there were numerous scattered reports of just this in late 1941 and early 1942.
Note that even after being prompted, “DefenderofIslam” *still* will not condemn these horrors. No real surprise there.

Poor Stalin, huh? The fact is that people generally fight harder for their freedom than they do to enslave others. Maybe “DefenderofIslam” should keep this fact in mind as his coreligionsts try to take over the West.

Hi, John and GreekEmpress.
John, I don’t actually expect to get through to “Brian Hoff”–he has already said that when there are enough Muslims here they plan to destroy the US Constitution and impose brutal Islamic law on us. Pretty hardcore–but also mainstream Islam. So I just counter his bs for any interested readers here.
And GreekEmpress, I have a lot of experience working with those who are illiterate and semi-literate–I taught adult literacy for several years. Of course, none of these folks were vicious like “Brian Hoff” here.
Also, many of them made real progress in learning to read and write–“Brian Hoff” seems to have been stuck at this level for many years now, and in no hurry to improve. Islam is certainly the creed for him…

Anyone who still believes that Third World immigration and ‘multiculturalism’ are desirable things should check out Rinkeby online. Its present could be our future if we do nothing about it. That includes stopping the Channel crossings into England and deporting the ‘migrants’ in Greece.
For example…
In 2010, the official figures stated that 15,000 people lived in the area, but officials admitted 17,000 were more likely though uncertainties meant the figure could be higher still. Of those, 90% had a migration background and 37.6% were from Africa.
In its December 2014 report, Swedish Police placed it as in the most severe category of urban areas with high crime rates. In June 2010, and again in 2014, the Rinkeby police station was attacked by rioting local youths; in 2014, it was shut down.
According to the Swedish Defence University, since the 1970s, a number of residents of Rinkeby and other local areas have been implicated in providing logistical and financial support to or joining various foreign-based transnational militant groups. Among these organizations are Hezbollah, Hamas, the PKK, the GIA, the Abu Nidal Organization, the Japanese Red Army, the Red Army Faction, Al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, Al-Shabaab, Ansar al-Sunna and Ansar al-Islam.
MORE IMMIGRATION, ANYONE?? RINKEBY SHOULD BE A WARNING TO US ALL.

Swedes are looking for Danes
Sounds like old Viking attitude still gets the Danes fired up
Burned a Koran in a no go zone ?
FYI says
Imagine if the Vikings came back:they’d probably go berserk at what the leaders of Scandinavian countries have done to their ancestral homelands.
The political leaders of these countries,those modern treasonous Quislings,allowed this to happen with the results we see today.
There is nothing wrong with that ‘old viking attitude’:The Vikings wouldn’t put up with having their homelands invaded.

And they would probably Blood Eagle the politicians responsible.

Sharia Sweden: Police hunt for Danes who burned Qur’an in no-go zone with large Muslim population
…………….
What insanity. Burning one’s own property is not illegal–or should not be illegal.
Jayell says
“Swedish police say…….an investigation into incitement to racial hatred has been launched.”
What’s wrong with these people? ‘Officers of the Law’ should be very well aware that a religion or an ideology is NOT a ‘race’ and therefore burning or abusing a book associated with it cannot possibly have anything directly to do with any kind of ‘racism’ whatever the demography of the the people who happen to follow the ideology.
So if we’re allowed to twist principles for our own purposes, what happens to people who burn copies of ‘Das Kapital’ in a communist country or an area with lots of communists live? Or if I burn my copy of Mao’s ‘Little red Book’ in China of in, say, London’s ‘China Town’? What should happen to people who burn copies of the Bible in Vatican City? Likewise if they burn bibles or vandalise Parish Churches in the UK when the Church of England is effectively the State Religion and the Head of the church is also the Head of State? Should that amount to treason? Why are the sensibilities of ‘certain people’ (we all know who!) apparently more important than anyone else wherever these ‘certain people’ decide to grace us with their presence whether or not we actually invited them?
peter says
Very good Point .You need to ask this question to the slick politicians around the globe and make sure they are held accountable during the elections
Phil says
It’s just a book, not a very good one, filled with incitement to do harm to non muslims, so it deserves to be burnt by offended non muslims. Eye for an eye.
Laurence says
Robert said, “I’m not in favor of book-burning. I’d prefer that people read the Qur’an and know what’s in it, rather than burn it.” Generally I too am not in favor of burning books and don’t recall ever having done so; however if the book is owned by the individual then of course he can do as he wants with his own books. And who knows, perhaps he did read it and, after coming to read and see first hand what it contained, that is what prompted him to burn it.

If you invited an mentally ill criminal rapist to live in your home why would you be suprised when he raped your wife and daughters…?
OLD GUY says
The Qur’an is nothing more than paper and ink.
Burning it has nothing to do with what is written in it.
Muslims/Islamics are offended by anything that questions or makes a statement truthful or not about the Qur’an or Muhammad.
Muslims/Islamics continue to destroy the Bible and Christian places of worship around the world by burning them down along with murdering their followers.
Muslims/Islamics continue to threaten to over throw governments, and non-islamic societies with violence.
Muslims/islamics want nothing less than the total destruction of the Jewish state and the enslavement or outright murder of all Jewish people.
Islamophobia is just plainly a JOKE, Islam has brought this anti Islam actions upon its self. The police in Sweden I’am sure have more important things todo. Like tracking down Islamic terrorist, Muslim rape gangs and getting rid of NO-GO-ZONES.
I wonder how far the idea of creating Christian/Jewish NO GO ZONES would go? Sounds like a fair idea to me, closeout the muslim/islamics from the rest of the country.
