Why, why, why is it OK to burn books? : Swedish police authorize protest by man who plans to burn #Torah, #Bible outside Israeli Embassy
— " #Stockholm #police on Friday said they have authorized a protest this weekend by a man who has stated that he wants to burn the Torah and the Bible outside the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm.
Israeli officials called on the Swedish government to stop the protest, which is scheduled to take place Saturday outside the diplomatic mission.
#Sweden recently faced strong criticism from #Muslim countries for allowing protesters to burn the #Quran at small anti-Islam demonstrations.
The man who filed the request for Saturday’s protest, said he wanted to burn the Torah and the Bible outside the Israeli Embassy in response to a Quran-burning outside a Stockholm mosque last month by an Iraqi immigrant*."
