Islamic Supremacists' Violent Tantrum Over Qur'an Burning Has Sweden Considering Sharia Law, as Police Are Unable to Protect Public (Video)

Malmö, Sweden – A peaceful demonstration in Malmö took a troubling turn on Sunday when tensions flared and chaos erupted, prompting the cancellation of an event critical of Islam. Led by organizer Salwan Momika, a 37-year-old Iraqi refugee who identifies as a ‘liberal atheist,’ the demonstration encountered violent disruptions from Muslim protesters. Held at Värnhemstorget, this incident not only highlights the underlying societal tensions but also sheds light on the broader challenges posed by the rise of Islamic supremacists in Sweden. As the nation grapples with these issues, a looming threat from Muslim extremists demanding adherence to Sharia law continues to cast a shadow over Sweden’s future.

Unrest Before the Demonstration

The troubles began even before the demonstration started. The police bus escorting Momika to the authorized square meeting location was hunted down by violent Muslims, many of whom threw stones and other objects at the vehicle. The unrest escalated as the day unfolded.

Clash Over the Burning of the Qur’an

Amid a gathering crowd of around 200 immigrant Muslim protesters, the burning of the Qur’an commenced but was swiftly met with violence and anger from anti-democratic Islamic supremacists who attempted to storm the square and breach police cordons. Fortunately, the police intervened promptly, preventing any harm to the organizer.

Forced Shutdown and Arrests

However, the situation spiraled out of control, forcing the police to make a difficult decision. Fearing for the safety of the participants, they halted the constitutionally protected demonstration prematurely due to their inability to contain the Jihadis. Salwan Momika was subsequently escorted from the scene under heightened police protection.

Authorities have remained tight-lipped about the arrests related to the violent disturbances, citing special event procedures. Sweden has gone to great lengths to protect Islamic migrants who are illegally in their country, even prosecuting those who speak out about the consequences of the left-wing government’s open border policies. Nevertheless, three individuals have been arrested so far in connection with the incident.

Broader Trends and Political Responses

This incident is part of a broader trend of violence and protests against Sweden’s secular democracy, which grants the freedom to criticize religion, including Islam, which has angered Muslims. In response to growing violence by Muslims, the left-wing Tidö government has announced an investigation into whether they will submit to Muslims and Sharia law and outlaw criticism of Islam in public. However, the Sweden Democrats, a conservative-leaning party, have firmly opposed such a move.

Within the left-wing bloc, some argue for introducing blasphemy laws that would classify criticism of Islam as incitement against ethnic groups, further intensifying the debate surrounding freedom of expression and religious tolerance in Sweden.

Consequences and Security Concerns

Salwan Momika, the organizer of the demonstration, has faced significant backlash and threats to his life in the aftermath of the incident. He left Malmö later in the day under police escort, leaving behind a community divided over the boundaries of free speech and the place of religion in a secular society.

While many in Sweden continue to advocate for democratic values and the freedom to express dissenting opinions, the violent disruptions in Malmö are a stark reminder of the challenges ahead in allowing Islamic supremacists who want to live under Sharia into your country.

Sweden’s left-wing government’s refusal to acknowledge the Islamic migrant connection to rising violence has strained law enforcement efforts. Threats against police officers have escalated, even outside duty hours, raising concerns about their safety.

Impact of Mass Migration Policies

The grave situation underscores the devastating impact of mass migration policies on Swedish society. Famous Swedish journalist and acclaimed author Gunnar Sandelin explains that 30% of the population is now foreign-born, and “Sweden will become Europe’s most Muslim-populated country.” Despite growing concerns and pleas from police, the government has continued to welcome migrants, contributing to the rise of criminal networks that challenge the rule of law.

International Repercussions

In related developments, it’s worth noting that Salwan Momika and another man, Salwan Naja, had trampled on a copy of the Qur’an in Stockholm at the end of July before setting it on fire. These actions caused diplomatic tensions between Sweden and radical Middle Eastern countries that follow Sharia, where the penalty for desecrating the Qur’an is death. The Swedish government has condemned the Qur’an’s desecration, stressing that Sweden’s Constitution protects the right to assembly and freedom of expression.

Security Measures and Concerns

Iraqi protesters attacked the Swedish embassy in Baghdad twice in July, sparking a fire inside the diplomatic mission in the second assault. In mid-August, the Swedish Security Service announced that it had raised the terrorist alert level to 4 on a scale of 5, considering the strong reactions aroused abroad by the desecrations of the Qur’an on Swedish soil made the country a “priority target.” In early August, Sweden decided to tighten border controls.

Neighboring Denmark’s Response

In neighboring Denmark, where public desecrations of the Qur’an have also occurred, authorities have announced plans to consider stricter regulations regarding the burning of the controversial “holy book” for Muslims—a text that many perceive as a war manual against non-Muslims.

Connecting the Dots: Qur’an Fire and Riots

Petra Stenkula, head of the police area in Malmö, sees a link between Sunday’s Qur’an fire and the following night’s riots in Rosengård. After the Qur’an burning on Värnhemstorget in Malmö, the police could see posts on social media where clashes were planned, and the police decided on camera surveillance over Rosengård during Sunday evening.

Criticism and Safety Measures

The police have faced criticism from residents of Rosengård for not doing enough during the night’s unrest, where stones were thrown at the police and cars were burned.

Before Monday evening, the Rosengård municipal police sent out an email to guardians via the schools to keep their children at home as a routine safety measure when they perceive risks. On Sunday evening and the night before Monday, Rosengård was shaken by war-like scenes with burning cars and attacks on police officers. But despite the gross violence on the streets, the Police Authority has not arrested a single person. Now, the Malmö police are talking about their tactics of not confronting the angry Muslims on the streets but instead focusing on emailing parents.

Interview with Police Chief

In a state television interview, Petra Stenkula, police area chief in Malmö, mentioned a connection between the Qur’an fire and the subsequent riots in Rosengård. State television reported widespread anger among Malmö residents because the police gave permission to hold a meeting critical of Islam in the city, and the riots were seen as a result of that.

Regarding the permission granted for the meeting critical of Islam, Stenkula explained that it was a location the organizers had applied for and that the Police Authority deemed suitable for the purpose.

Challenges Faced by Law Enforcement

Furthermore, Stenkula shared her sentiments in the aftermath of the violent Qur’an riots in Rosengård, expressing sadness and concern about the burning cars and attacks.

Stenkula explained that the police initially tried to apprehend the violent Muslim perpetrators but encountered difficulties as these individuals threw stones at the officers. Consequently, an overwhelmed and ill-equipped police force had to take refuge inside reinforced riot vehicles to protect themselves.

Safety Measures

Emails were sent to parents via the city’s schools as a way to keep children safe during the evening when the unrest was taking place. The Malmö police were more concerned with sending out emails to parents than they were with arresting the Islamic migrants involved in the violence. Despite the gross violence on the streets, the Police Authority has failed to arrest a single person.

The recent events have raised questions about the failure of Sweden’s law enforcement and their inability to manage such situations.
