Attacks on Quran continue in Sweden

By Atilla Altuntas

STOCKHOLM (AA) - An attack against Islam’s holy book was organized Thursday in Stockholm.

At Angbybadet beach in the Bromma district, 47-year-old Iranian-born Bayrami Marjan burned a copy of the Quran under police protection.

He said all religions should be destroyed as he burned the holy book in a barbecue.

Recent months have seen repeated acts of Quran burning, desecration or attempts to do so by Islamophobic figures or groups, especially in northern European and Nordic countries.
