(July 5, 2023 / JNS) – Swedish police have received a request to burn a Torah book in front of the Israeli embassy in Stockholm, officials said Wednesday.
The request follows the burning of a Koran outside the main mosque in the city that sparked a backlash across the Islamic world.
The police force confirmed to Sweden’s national public broadcaster that it had received an application from a man in his 30s to burn Jewish and Christian holy books outside the embassy on July 15 as “a symbolic gathering for the sake of freedom of speech.”
