Far-right Danish Politicians In Sweden, Leader Stram Kurs Burns Another Quran While Surrounded By Police.

Stockholm — Under police protection in Sweden, the leader of the

Danish far-right Stram Kurs (Hard Line) party burnt another copy of

the Muslim holy book, the Quran.

Rasmus Paludan, a dual Danish-Swedish national, recently burnt copies of

the Quran in the Muslim-populated Frölunda, Boras, and Trollhättan districts of

the southwestern province of Västergötland.

Paludan has been accompanied by approximately 100 police officers as well as

10 plainclothes officers from the Swedish intelligence agency SAPO to

protect him from counter-demonstrators.

Since 2017, Paludan has burned the holy book in several Danish cities.

He continued his provocations this year near Muslim-populated neighborhoods

and mosques while under police protection during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Riots erupted in the cities of Malmo, Norrkoping, and Jonkoping, as well as

in Stockholm, damaging 125 police vehicles and injuring 34 officers

while 13 people were arrested.
