An Iraqi man who carried out several Quran burnings in Sweden has been killed
A judge in Stockholm says an Iraqi man who carried out several Quran burnings in Sweden has died. Swedish media reported Thursday that he was killed in a shooting in a nearby city.
Summary
Salwan Momika, the Iraqi man who staged several Quran burnings in Sweden in 2023, was shot and killed in Sodertalje, near Stockholm.
His actions had sparked international outrage, riots, and diplomatic tensions. Swedish police confirmed a murder investigation is underway, and several arrests have been made.
Momika, who sought asylum in Sweden in 2018, faced charges of incitement to hatred, with a verdict scheduled for the day after his death.
His protests were permitted under free speech laws but led to legal action against him.
You're viewing a single thread.
Seems like he got what he wanted.
Freedom from religious persecution?
He got the exact opposite of what he wanted you daft idiot
In what way was he being religiously persecuted in Sweden before burning Korans? If you don't think he intended provocation with such stunts, then you might be the draft idiot here. Again: justified? No. Predictable? Yes.
In what way?
Well, being murdered would be one way?
Damn he got murdered before burning Korans? Incredible he was still able to burn them then.
Don't be coy, you know perfectly nwell what I mean.
He was murdered because of religious persecution.
I've burned thousands of Qurans, it's quite easy, you just download one and copy it a thousand times on a USB. Should I deserve death now too at the hands of extremist sky daddy worshippers?
I'm not being coy. You can do whatever you like, and no, you don't "deserve death" for that. But the idea that you are being persecuted is in your imagination. Do I deserve death if I piss on the motorcycle of a Hells Angel? Am I persecuted if I am beaten for it? There was zero reason (other than provocation) for burning those Korans. He intended to provoke, and he succeeded. Congratulations.
there was zero reason for burning those Korans
You are either spectacularly naive, or just plain lying your ass off, or you're just trolling and honestly I'm not sure which it is.
He burned those Korans because one must be able to do that without being murdered. I am all against book burning but when a single book is burned to prove a point, I'm all for it.
In this case, the point was made by Muslims that they're insane terrorist skydaddy believers who will murder anyone they disagree with. Fuck. That. Shit.
free from persecution as long as he goes along with it
Isn’t freedom
Lol. Are you unfree just because there's no limit to the offense you can cause before someone hurts you for it? Have you never agreed with the phrase "FAFO" or "talk shit get hit"?
He died for destroying a book, for burning paper, no human was hurt and he died because some religious extremist can't control themselves.
Great example of how religion needs to be properly regulated.
He was absolutely trying to get a reaction. I'm not saying that it's good that he got the one he did, I'm just saying it was predictable.
It’s predictable because the religious are mentally ill and dangerous
Very brave sentiment, and I applaud you for it!
You knew what you were saying and how you were saying it.
We're past the point where the avg person is ignorant to dog whistles.
Read it again, dopey.
