STORYLINE:

The Quran burning was carried out by Rasmus Paludan, leader of Danish far-right political party Hard Line Outside the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm on Saturday.

In April last year, Paludan’s announcement of a Quran burning “tour” during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan sparked riots across Sweden.

Surrounded by police, Paludan set fire to the holy book with a lighter following a long diatribe of almost an hour, in which he attacked Islam and immigration in Sweden. About 100 people gathered nearby for a peaceful counterdemonstration.
