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.

      Haha. So you mean that the locally elected are so ass-backwards corrupt that the Taliban seem better.

      Yeah that seems about right. No wonder Afghanistan is a shit hole.

        So you admit the Taliban is better than the pedos “locally elected” by the US.
