evidence: The spectacle of Qurans being torn and burned at protests in Sweden has fuelled intense public debate at home – and by the standards of Swedish domestic affairs, the incidents at legal protests have kicked off a shockingly intense international furore. [...] Ministers have so far ruled out amending Sweden’s freedom of speech law or banning Quran burnings outright, with Kristersson insisting that there is a place for responsibility as opposed to state restriction. "Everything that is legal is not appropriate," he said at a press conference last week. "It can be awful but still lawful." [...] Earlier this year, ex-prime minister and Social Democrats leader Magdalena Andersson told national broadcaster SVT that those burning the Quran in protest are "useful idiots" doing an unwitting service to those seeking to divide Swedish society, and that they had a duty to consider the consequences of their actions.
