Sweden Turkey Relations- Sweden’s right wing leader burnt the Quran; Boil in Muslim countries… know who started the fire

Stockholm. Tension has increased these days in the relations between Turkey and Sweden. Here in Sweden, a period of tremendous protests against Turkey is going on. A copy of the Quran has been burnt by anti-Islamic extremists during protests against Turkey in Stockholm on Saturday. After this incident, it has been condemned internationally. Expressing displeasure over this incident, Turkey has unilaterally canceled the proposed visit of Sweden’s Defense Minister to Ankara. And asked Sweden to take necessary action against the culprits.

Turkish authorities also condemned the permission given to right-wing Swedish-Danish politician Rasmus Paludan to protest on Saturday in front of its embassy in the Swedish capital. During the demonstration, Paludan made a scathing attack on Islam and set the Quran on fire with a lighter. He told the crowd, ‘If you don’t think there should be freedom of expression, then you have to live somewhere else.’

It is known that freedom of expression in Sweden is guided by the constitution. And the constitution gives wide rights to the people to express their views in public. However, incitement to violence or hate speech is not allowed. Last year, Paludan announced his Quran-burning ‘tour’ during the Muslim religion’s holy month of Ramadan. After this, riots broke out all over Sweden.
