Controversial Quran Burning Protest Erupts Outside Stockholm Mosque on Eid
A man tore up and burned a Quran outside Stockholm's central mosque on Eid al-Adha, a move that risks angering Turkey as Sweden seeks NATO membership. The protest, which was granted permission by Swedish police, was part of a series of demonstrations against Islam and for Kurdish rights. Some onlookers protested against the burning, while one man was detained for attempting to throw a rock. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan condemned the act, stating that it was unacceptable to allow anti-Islam protests in the name of freedom of expression.
