Activist backs off Sweden Torah burning: Trying to draw attention to Quran desecration – ‘I will not burn [holy books]; no one should,’ says Ahmad Alush; decision by Swedish police to allow burning of Jewish, Christian bibles outside Israeli embassy had sparked outrage | Timesofisrael

A Muslim activist who had received permission to burn a Torah and a Bible outside the Israeli embassy in Sweden on Saturday said he was backing off from the move, adding that he only wanted to draw attention to the recent burning of the Quran in the country.
The man, identified as Ahmad Alush, 32, had received permission from Swedish authorities to perform the act, drawing widespread condemnation and protest from Israel and Jewish groups, among others.
