SALWAN Momika, who sparked protests throughout the a the Mohammedan world in 2023 after a burned a Koran outside Stockholm Central Mosque, died of gunshot wounds yesterday (Thursday).

He was shot in an apartment in Stockholm.

Local police said in a statement that five people had been arrested.

Officers were called to a suspected shooting at an apartment in Hovsjö. The victim was found with gunshot wounds and taken to hospital. The force announced he had died on Thursday morning.

Local media reported that Momika had been livestreaming on social media around the time he was shot.

Momika, an Iraqi living in Sweden, was charged in August alongside one other with “agitation against an ethnic group” on four occasions in the summer of 2023.

The verdict, due to be delivered on Thursday, was postponed after it was “confirmed that one of the defendants had died”, Stockholm District Court said.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said Sweden’s security services were involved in the investigation because there was “obviously a risk that there were links to foreign powers,” SVT reported.

Angry Muslims proesting over the burning at the Swedish embassy in Iraq

Momika carried out a series of anti-Islam protests, sparking outrage. Unrest took place at the Swedish embassy in Baghdad twice, while the Swedish ambassador was expelled from the city amid a diplomatic row.

Swedish police had given Mr Momika permission for the protest in which he burnt the holy book, in accordance with the country’s free-speech laws.

The government later pledged to explore legal means of abolishing protests that involve burning religious texts in certain circumstances.

      Since 9/11 (11 September 2001) to date, there have been 46,700 deadly terror attacks by the shites as they try to rectify their image and promote their ‘religion-of-peace’.

      Last December, the number of misunderstandings were – eradication of xtians, jews, hindus, polio vaccinators, children, farmers, quran burners; shiites eliminating sunnies, sunnies erasing shiites … The impressive roll call during 31 days in 22 countries is – 145 attacks, 894 killed, 786 injured.

      Obviously the above data does not include unreported attacks!
