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.

    Liberals really hate Nazis.

    Unless the Nazi is being Nazi against Muslims instead of Jews. Then they love free speech.

    As the saying goes, the only good Nazi

      So wanting freedom from religious persecution is the same as being a Nazi now?

      Interesting, I did not know that

        He was free from religious persecution. Turns out he was the person who was doing the religious persecution and wanted to keep doing it.

          ?

          He was murdered. I’m assuming for a second that it’s because of his actions prior, and with that assumption he will literally have been religiously persecuted.

          Turns out you’re full of it
