A Syrian Muslim who obtained permission from the Swedish police to burn the #Torah and the #Bible in front of the Israeli Embassy in #Stockholm, has chosen not to burn the books.
Ahmet Allus said he wanted to draw attention to the fact that no sacred book should be burned.
"I am a Muslim, and I cannot burn sacred and religious books," he said.
"There is a difference between freedom of expression and insulting ethnic groups. Burning the #Quran and other religious books should be considered a hate crime. I obtained permission from the police for the act of burning the Torah and the Bible to draw attention to this. I have absolutely no intention of burning any religious book."
