Iraqis storm Swedish embassy as Muslim nations condemn Koran burning (msn.com)

Iraqi protesters breached Sweden’s embassy in Baghdad on Thursday, angered by a Koran burning outside a Stockholm mosque that sparked condemnation across the Muslim world. A crowd of supporters of firebrand Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr stayed inside the compound for about 15 minutes, then left as security forces deployed. “Our constitution is the Koran,” read a message on leaflets carried by the protesters, and a message sprayed on the compound’s gate said, “Yes, yes to the Koran”. The protest came a day after an Iraqi citizen living in Sweden, Salwan Momika, 37, stomped on the Islamic holy book and set several pages alight in front of the capital’s largest mosque. Swedish police had granted him a permit in line with free-speech protections, but authorities later also said they had opened an investigation over “agitation”.
The Koran burning sparked anger across and beyond the Middle East at a time Muslims have observed the Eid al-Adha holiday and the annual hajj pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia was drawing to a close. Iraq’s foreign ministry condemned Sweden’s decision to grant an “extremist” permission to burn the Koran and said such acts “inflame the feelings of Muslims around the world and represent a dangerous provocation”.
Mr. Sadr had called for the demonstration at the Swedish embassy to demand the removal of the ambassador, charging that his state is “hostile to Islam”. Saudi Arabia, which hosted around 1.8 million Muslim pilgrims for the hajj that ended on Wednesday, also denounced the Koran burning. “These hateful and repeated acts cannot be accepted with any justification,” its foreign ministry said.
Iran joined in the condemnation, calling the Koran burning “provocative, ill-considered and unacceptable.
“The government and people of the Islamic Republic of Iran... do not tolerate such an insult and strongly condemn it,” said Nasser Kanaani, a foreign ministry spokesman. “The Swedish government is expected to seriously consider the principle of responsibility and accountability in this regard, while preventing the repetition of insulting the holy sanctities.” Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish president, also denounced Sweden for allowing a protest, further clouding the Nordic nation’s chances of quickly joining NATO. “We will eventually teach the arrogant Westerners that insulting Muslims is not freedom of thought,” Mr. Erdogan said in televised remarks. “We will show our reaction in the strongest possible terms, until a determined victory against terrorist organizations and Islamophobia is achieved.” A series of protests in Sweden against Islam and for Kurdish rights have heightened tensions with Turkey, whose backing Stockholm needs to gain entry to NATO.
 

One of the few, perhaps the only blessing of modern day Republicans is they have let up on holy roller evangelical preachers burning the Koran and inflaming the Muslims in preference to accusing Democrats of grooming children and boycotting beer.

They hate Democrats more than they used to hate Muslims.

Why on earth did Sweden give a permit for some idiot to insult the Prophet?

They’ll not do that again soon, I hope.
