36:58Now PlayingIn a provocative act during Eid al-Adha celebrations, an Iraqi refugee named Salwan Momika desecrated the Quran outside the Stockholm Central Mosque in Sweden. Momika tore up and set fire to the holy book, placed a strip of bacon on it, and stamped on it while waving Swedish flags. Surprisingly, the Muslim community largely dismissed or ignored the act, responding with calm and even distributing chocolates to the police present. Avsan Mezori, a Muslim in the crowd, expressed empathy for Momika but refused to give him attention, while Husam El Gomati, a political activist, saw it as a deliberate attempt to portray Muslims as violent. The incident drew criticism from Turkish officials, who have already blocked Sweden's NATO membership application due to other controversies. Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson considered the act legal but inappropriate, leaving it to the police to handle such incidents. The US State Department condemned the Quran burning and urged Turkey to approve Sweden's NATO bid.
