The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
Recently, a far-right Danish-Swedish politician and activist, Rasmus Paludan, held a demonstration and burned the Quran in front of the Turkish Embassy in the Swedish capital of Stockholm. Several Muslim countries have condemned Sweden over this incident, including Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Kuwait, and many others. During the demonstration, Rasmus made derogatory comments about Islam and immigrants before proceeding to burn a Quran. He has held many such demonstrations before. Sweden is seeking to apply to be a new member of NATO along with Finland amidst Russia’s continuing aggression towards Ukraine. The recent Quran burning incident affects the process to gain membership, since all 30 member-states must ratify their application to join NATO, including Muslim majority Turkey. Paludan’s protest was followed by a separate demonstration held by pro-Kurdish activists. The demonstrators stepped on a photo of Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan. In response to these protests, Turkish defense minister Hulusi Akar canceled a meeting with his Swedish counterpart Pål Jonson. Protests broke out in Istanbul and Ankara due to Paludan’s act. Demonstrators held the Quran, shouted slogans and chants, and burned a photo of Paludan at the Swedish Embassy in Turkey.
