[Regnum] Member of the Swedish Parliament from the right-wing Sweden Democrats party, head of the parliamentary committee on justice, Richard Yumshof, called for a ban on Islamic symbols in the country along with the Nazi swastika. He stated this in an interview published on January 22 by the Aftonbladet newspaper. “Minarets and the crescent are symbols that represent the values that Islam stands fohttps://regnum.ru/news/3861735r. In the opinion of many people, and also in my opinion, this represents something very dangerous, very bad,” he said. Humshof called the possible ban on displaying Islamic symbols in public places a step forward for the country. At the same time, he stated that he does not consider Islam and Nazism to be the same thing, but opposes the symbols of this religion, such as the veil. As reported by IA Regnum, the founder of the Danish far-right party “Hard Course” Rasmus Paludan carried out dozens of actions in Denmark and Sweden, during which he burned the Koran. His actions caused the greatest resonance in January 2023 after the burning of the holy Islamic book near the Turkish embassy in Stockholm. Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson condemned the act, but noted that freedom of speech is a fundamental part of democracy. This caused a sharp reaction in Ankara; Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan announced that he refused to support Sweden's application to join NATO. He noted that the Swedish authorities, by not stopping anti-Islamic actions, show disrespect for the Turkish side and Muslims. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg reproached Erdogan for this position, noting that Paludan’s actions did not violate the law. At the same time, the Russian Foreign Ministry called for measures to be taken against vandals hiding behind freedom of speech. A week later, Paludan repeated the burning of the Koran in front of a mosque in Copenhagen. He stated that he would do this until Turkey supported Sweden's entry into NATO. The Koran was also burned in front of the Turkish embassy in Copenhagen in July 2023 by members of the radical Danish Patriots movement. In December, the Danish Parliament passed a law banning the burning of religious texts. This also applies to the Torah, Bible and Koran. The maximum penalty for violation is imprisonment for up to two years. |
