(Local) A man stomped on a copy of the Quran but did not actually set fire to it at a protest in Stockholm, despite having pledged to do so. Here’s what happened — and what could happen next.
Salwan Momika, the man behind a Quran-burning last month, organised a demonstration around 30 metres from Iraq’s embassy in Stockholm at around 1pm on Thursday. He had said he would burn a copy of the Quran, but media at the scene reported that nobody present actually saw it burn.
Swedish news agency TT reported that Momika and another protester stomped on a copy of the Quran, and, facing away from the audience and cameras, apparently tried to ignite it without much success.
