Summary
Salwan Momika, the Iraqi man who staged several Quran burnings in Sweden in 2023, was shot and killed in Sodertalje, near Stockholm.
His actions had sparked international outrage, riots, and diplomatic tensions. Swedish police confirmed a murder investigation is underway, and several arrests have been made.
Momika, who sought asylum in Sweden in 2018, faced charges of incitement to hatred, with a verdict scheduled for the day after his death.
His protests were permitted under free speech laws but led to legal action against him.
He was free from religious persecution. Turns out he was the person who was doing the religious persecution and wanted to keep doing it.
How exactly was an Iraqi immigrant in Sweden persecuting anyone? Are we using the word persecution to mean whatever the fuck we like now?
