"Controversy and Protests Surround Quran Burning in Sweden and Pakistan"
Salwan Momika, an Iraqi Christian man who heads a militia in Nineveh, burned the Quran in front of a mosque in Sweden, sparking protests in Iraq. Momika, who fled to Sweden several years ago, has been charged with deception and other legal complaints. Iraq has requested his repatriation to face prosecution. Momika has expressed his intention to burn another Quran and the Iraqi flag. He was identified as a member of the Iraqi Christian/Iran proxy militia, "The Spirit of Jesus Brigades," and previously headed the "Chaldean Eagles" militia. Momika has been described as an opportunist seeking fame but has failed to gain support from his Christian community in Iraq.
