Resourcing the Koran for an energy source has an "iffy" future in Sweden. (This thread started with a report about Sweden and nuclear energy.)
| | | quote | The Swedish government is considering whether to make it illegal to set the Quran [Koran; also Qur'an] or other holy books on fire, Justice Minister Gunnar Strommer said on Thursday.
Recent Quran burnings have damaged Sweden's security, with authorities saying such incidents leave the country less safe, Mr Strommer told the Aftonbladet newspaper.
His comments come after Salwan Momika, who is originally from Iraq, stomped on a Quran and set several pages alight last week during Eid Al Adha.
Police had given the 37-year-old a permit for the protest in accordance with free speech laws, but later said the incident was being investigated for incitement of hatred. |

https://www.thenationalnews...l-to-burn-the-quran/The article continues online. It's not a long article. My Copy & Paste is close to half of the text. But it does have a photograph (not of the Koran burning) and an online video.
