Sweden foils 'terror plot tied to Koran-burning stunt' as five people with 'links to international Islamic extremism' are arrested
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The five suspects with links to extremism were detained across three cities

  • Comes after Rasmus Paludan sparked outrage by burning Koran in January
Far-right journalist Chang Frick - who has links to Putin's Russia - is alleged to have paid the fee for the shocking demonstration - and promised to cover any damages he incurred as a result.

The activist wanted to 'mark some freedom of speech' by burning the Koran after the hanging of an effigy of Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan near the Stockholm city hall provoked a strong response in Turkey. Sweden also condemned the stunt.

Riots erupted in Malmö in April last year after Paludan visited Sweden ahead of an election, intending to burn the Koran to drum up support for his movement, and previously in August 2020 when activists burned the Koran after Paludan was arrested.

Pauldan, who holds both Danish and Swedish citizenship, further infuriated the Muslim world by burning a Koran outside a mosque in Copenhagen a week later after doing so in Stockholm.

During Paludan's protest outside the mosque on January 27, loud music blared from inside the holy building in an apparent attempt to drown him out.

The politician, who has police protection and was then driven away by officers, said in a live broadcast: 'This mosque has no place in Denmark.'

The activist, who had police protection, was then driven away in a police car.

In his live feed, he said he would repeat the demonstration outside the Turkish and Russian embassies.

Paludan, who has previously been convicted for racist abuse, has been at the centre of anti-Islamic politics in northern Europe for several years.

He rose to fame with the launch of his far-right party Stram Kurs, which translates as 'Hard Line', in Denmark in 2017.

Meanwhile, his far-right party in Sweden received just 156 votes nationwide in last year's parliamentary election.

The lawyer and YouTuber is known for burning the Koran and for calling for the deportation of all Muslims from Denmark.

Paludan previously said: 'The enemy is Islam and Muslims. The best thing would be if there were not a single Muslim left on this earth. Then we would have reached our final goal.'

#1 Setting fire to the world's no affront,
Nor is forming a Popular Front,
And to boom a few Jews
Is a bit of a snooze,
But to burn one Korean is a stunt?
