Sweden riots over Quran burning: What is happening?

Several days of unrest in Sweden, sparked by a far-right group’s plan to burn copies of the Quran, wounded at least 40 people as police called for more resources to deal with the violence.

The burning of the Muslim holy book is a well-practised stunt by the leader of the anti-immigration and anti-Islam group Hard Line, Danish-Swedish politician Rasmus Paludan.

Aiming to drum up support ahead of Danish legislative elections in September, Paludan declared a “tour” of Sweden, planning to visit cities and towns with large Muslim populations with the intent of burning copies of the Quran during the holy month of Ramadan.

I do not think it's that bad

Rasmus Paludan says in an interview with Ekstra Bladet that he has not been aware of people's age on his Discord server

Ekstra Bladet has presented our revelations about Rasmus Paludan's rough sex talk to the party leader in a telephone interview.

Here, Paludan says, among other things, that he does not know people's age when he chats with them.

Ekstra Bladet is in possession of audio and video material, where a user on Rasmus Paludan's Discord server says that he - according to himself - is 13 years old.

Shortly afterwards, Rasmus Paludan reads out a story about a 17-year-old boy who is active on the server and who is raped anal in front of the students in a classroom. You can see the material in the video below.

The allegedly 13-year-old boy is still part of the conversation as Paludan reads out the rape story.

- You could not possibly have avoided hearing that a person has just told that he is 13 years old before you tell your story.

- I can easily do that. I have no recollection of a 13-year-old boy being with me while I was telling the story. And by the way, I can not understand that Save the Children thinks it's that bad.

- I do not think it's that bad.

4. Both groups are morons

The Nazis of course are also evil and we should do everything we can to ostracize and isolate them.

For the Muslims - It is just paper. You only hand these a__les power with violent protests. Short of them obtaining a historically relevant manuscript, what they are doing has no meaning. Align yourselves with other faith communities and even most atheists to denounce them. Don't hurt innocent people and destroy their property.

5. This exact bullshit led to the Benghazi killings

It was committed under the cover of protesting the "Innocence of Muslims" video.

Fuck these Rightist provocations.
