Sweden Police allows burning of Quran at the start of Eid al-Adha | Oneindia News
Swedish police have said that they have granted a permit for a protest where the organizer plans to burn a Quran outside Stockholm’s main mosque today at the start of the Muslim three-day Eid al-Adha holiday.
The police said in the written decision that the security risks associated with the burning “were not of a nature that could justify, under current laws, a decision to reject the request.”
This green light came two weeks after a Swedish appeals court rejected the police’s decision to deny permits for two demonstrations in Stockholm which were to include Quran burnings.
Police had, at the time, cited security concerns, following a burning of the Muslim holy book outside Turkey’s embassy in January which had led to weeks of protests and had also further stalled Sweden’s NATO membership bid.
Turkey had taken particular offense that police had authorized the January demonstration.
After that, Police had banned two subsequent requests for protests involving Quran burnings - one by a private individual and one by an organization, outside the Turkish and Iraqi embassies in Stockholm in February.
Back then,the police had refused to authorise the Quran burnings in Stockholm saying that the protest had made Sweden "a higher priority target for attacks."

Iran is allegedly behind a series of terror attacks carried out by criminal networks targeting Israeli embassies in Europe since October 7, according to the Mossad intelligence agency. The Mossad has been collaborating with European intelligence agencies to investigate these incidents. One significant attack occurred in January when an explosive device, reportedly a hand grenade, was found within the grounds of the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm. The Swedish national bomb squad safely destroyed the device. Subsequent investigations led to the conclusion that the Foxtrot organised crime ring in Sweden was responsible for the attack, acting on behalf of Iran, according to Mossad findings.

Facades of two mosques and a mazar in Haridwar were covered with white cloth during the Kanwar Yatra to prevent trouble, but removed after objections. Local leaders and caretakers were unaware of the decision, which they criticized for disrupting the traditional harmony between Hindu and Muslim communities. Congress leaders condemned the action as divisive and potentially contemptuous of the Supreme Court's stance on religious identity displays.

In Muzaffarnagar, a longstanding tradition among Muslims to set up camps for Kanwariyas during the annual Kanwar Yatra has come to a halt this year. This decision follows new regulations by Uttar Pradesh authorities requiring eateries along the Kanwar Yatra route to prominently display the names of their owners. Muzaffarnagar Police issued this directive, causing concern among local Muslims who had been organizing these camps since the 2013 riots.
