STOCKHOLM: A man tore up and burned a Qur’an outside Stockholm’s central mosque on Wednesday, an event that risks angering Turkiye as Sweden bids to join NATO, after Swedish police granted permission for the protest to take place. Police later charged the man with agitation against an ethnic or national group. A series of demonstrations in Sweden against Islam and for Kurdish rights have offended Ankara, whose backing Sweden needs to gain entry to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Sweden sought NATO membership in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year.
If they’re is no law against “making people unsafe, by provoking a 3rd party” then yes. If they’re is a law against that, actions like these would be stopped. There doesn’t seem to be one though. Any Swede here?
In Germany something vaguely like this would probably count as “Volksverhetzung”, but IANL so I’m not sure that would even remotely fit.
Does that right extend to burning a copy of the Torah outside of a Synagogue?
Yes to every religion
Even when it both makes Jewish people unsafe and encourages an atmosphere of racism, which only ever results in one thing?
