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.

    Oh look! More religious violence!

    It’s almost like you make my point for me. And look who the opposition is that you want me to sympathize with. FUCKING ISIS.

      I don’t think burning people alive is a great look no matter what side you are on.

      This guy treating every Muslim like they are ISIS is enough of an indicator of his army deeds.
