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.
It sounds like you are an edgy teenage neckbeard, or a very thinly disguised racist. Go to a country bar in Mississippi and scream “fuck Donald Trump” or go to the Thai royal palace and scream “fuck the king”. Go to Compton in Los Angeles and scream racial slurs. I mean, you have to go do that to prove you are free, right? For most normal people, there is zero compulsion to do any of those things. At what point would you stop feeling “persecuted” about any of those things? If there is only one individual in the world, whom you could offend to the point of violence, is that still too much? You must feel very persecuted indeed.
