[[File:Quran burning by Salwan Momika in 2023 (9 av 18).jpg|thumb|[[Salwan Momika]] burning a Quran in October 2023]]
Since 2020, the Danish party [[Stram Kurs]] and the party leader [[Rasmus Paludan]] have planned or orchestrated Quran burnings in multiple Swedish cities. This has resulted in numerous riots in Swedish cities against both planned and realized desecrations, notably the [[2020 Sweden riots]] and [[2022 Sweden riots]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=2022-04-18 |title=Dozens arrested at Sweden riots sparked by planned Quran burnings |language=en-GB |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61134734 |access-date=2022-04-28}}</ref>
On June 28, 2023, [[Salwan Momika]], an Iraqi immigrant living in Sweden, burned a copy of Quran, outside [[Stockholm Mosque|Stockholm's central mosque]]. The Swedish police had granted a permit for the demonstration, after a Swedish court ruling that allowed it on the grounds of freedom of expression. The incident led to [[Protests against Quran desecration in Sweden|international protests]].<ref>{{cite news |author1=Marie Mannes |author2=Louise Rasmussen |title=Protester burns Koran at Stockholm mosque on Eid holiday |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/swedish-police-approve-small-anti-koran-demonstration-mosque-2023-06-28/ |access-date=1 July 2023 |work=Reuters |date=June 29, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |author1=Lindsay Isaac |title=Turkey condemns Quran burning protest in Stockholm as a 'heinous act' |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/28/europe/sweden-quran-protest-intl/index.html |access-date=1 July 2023 |agency=CNN |date=June 28, 2023}}</ref>
There is a law in Sweden against [[incitement to ethnic or racial hatred]], but it is considered not to apply to critique or desecration against a religion as such, only to negative statements against people based on having a specified religion.<ref>[https://www.riksdagen.se/sv/dokument-och-lagar/dokument/svensk-forfattningssamling/tryckfrihetsforordning-1949105_sfs-1949-105/#K7 Tryckfrihetsförordning (1949:105) 7 kap 6 §]</ref>
