If Christians had been rioting over desecration of the Bible, you can be sure that Katia Elliott would have readily acknowledged that the riots had to do with religion. But as a good Leftist, she has imbibed the idea that one must never, ever say anything that could even possibly be construed as critical of Islam, no matter what the circumstances. For Leftists, denying reality in a ridiculous way is preferable to appearing to criticize Islam.
“SVT’s remark: Unclear if the Koran riots had anything to do with Islam,” translated from “SVT:s anmärkning: Oklart om korankravallerna hade med islam att göra,” Fria Tider, April 12, 2023 (thanks to L.):
MEDIA. It has not been made clear that the Koran riots were in any way connected to religion, clarified SVT’s presenter Katia Elliott on “Aktuellt.”
On Tuesday evening, “Aktuellt” had a feature on Carola’s critical comments about Swedish multiculturalism.
To discuss the issue of immigration, the state television giant had invited two guests: the Greek-Swedish leftist journalist Leonidas Aretakis and the Afghan ex-policeman Mustafa Panshiri.
The former was critical of Carola’s comments, while the latter showed a little more understanding of the criticism of immigration policy.
One of the comments that Carola made in the attention-grabbing interview with Svenska Dagbladet concerned Muslims. It “is in their scriptures that it is okay to lie to unbelievers,” she noted.
Panshiri brought up the quote and when talking about the Koran riots last Easter.
“It is clear that what happened during Easter a year ago had to do with religion,” he said.
However, this claim was apparently so strong that SVT’s presenter Katia Elliott felt compelled to comment on the matter at the end of the discussion.
“There are many explanations for the Easter riots. Some would say they are religious, others not, I just want to say,” she clarified.

“It is clear that what happened during Easter a year ago had to do with religion,” he said.…. Clearly, he’s issuing a threat.
And do tell Katia; why ban burning their, and only their, book if there’s no connection?

This is the core of the muhammad’s heretical – blaspheming – plagerised pretense of crating a religion fraud.
While the overarching situation affirms that the Swedish politi’Kal ‘Klass is being extorted – bribed by the muslim practicers of muhammadisms that reaches into the politi’Kal ‘Klass’s Swedish ministry of Propaganda.

People seem to ignore the lost cause they call Sweden. It is now a long-term Muslim country. One by one the so-called EU countries are falling to Islam it’s all about birthrates and money/cheap labour. Europe as we know it is finished. As a British citizen, I am delighted the UK has left this con job. I won’t be around but this is a done deal and ‘Europe’ as a ‘Christian’ area is FINISHED: Gadaffi was RIGHT when he said: “we don’t need guns we will breed you off the map”.

The worst people in Sweden are leftists which are in all the MSM and most people I talked to, they don´t care, they think it is OK and that everything will be right.
They ignore daily shooting ,rapes and stealing
