29:17Now PlayingA woman in Sweden was arrested on August 18 for assaulting Salwan Momika, a notorious Iraqi protester and refugee, with a fire extinguisher during his Quran-burning demonstration outside the Iranian Embassy in Stockholm. The incident, captured on video and shared widely on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, showed the woman spraying Momika with white powder before being intercepted by plainclothes police. Police spokesperson Towe Hägg said the woman was detained for disturbing public order and assaulting a police officer. Momika, who has sparked outrage and jeopardized Sweden's diplomatic relations with Muslim-majority countries through his series of anti-Islam protests, continued his demonstration despite the attack. The Swedish government, while allowing Momika's protests in the name of freedom of speech, plans to file preliminary charges of hate speech against him and is reviewing his residence permit. This incident and other recent Quran-burning protests have led to calls for boycotting Swedish products, raised security issues for Swedish nationals abroad, and even resulted in warnings from the US and UK embassies about possible retaliatory terrorist attacks. Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer noted that while Sweden has no plans to reintroduce blasphemy laws, it will study the legislation of countries like Norway, the Netherlands, and France, which has a “greater scope for including security in this type of assessment.”
