Last Friday, “Muslims screaming ‘Allahu akbar’” rioted over a Quran-burning rally in Sweden, as a Danish politician and Quran-burner himself, Rasmus Paludan, was blocked from entering the country
During the riots, overt antisemitism was displayed:
Slogans against Jews were shouted by the crowd. Now the police will investigate the incident that may be classified as “incitement against ethnic groups”…. Following the riots, clips were posted on social media with protesters clenching their fists and shouting “Jews, remember Khaybar, Mohammed’s army returns.” According to the Central Jewish Council, Khaybar was a place where Jews were murdered by Prophet Mohammad, a central figure in Islam, and his followers in 628, and the slogans are interpreted as “a call for the murder and purge of Jews”.
Islamic Antisemitism is on the rise, correlated with mass Muslim migration into Europe. It is rooted in Islamic indoctrination, as Robert Spencer points out:
The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. The Jews in the Qur’an are called the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).
“Swedish Police Investigating Overtly Anti-Semitic Chants During Islamic Riots,” by Igor Kuznetsov, Sputnik News, August 31, 2020:
The riots in Malmö, Sweden’s third-largest city and one of the country’s most ethnically diverse communities, erupted after a Quran-burning staged by members of the anti-Islamic Danish Hard Line party in what was claimed to be a gesture of solidarity with the “brotherly” Swedish people.
During the violent riots in Malmö that broke out on Friday, slogans against Jews were shouted by the crowd. Now the police will investigate the incident that may be classified as “incitement against ethnic groups”, the newspaper Svenska Dagbladet reported.
Following the riots, clips were posted on social media with protesters clenching their fists and shouting “Jews, remember Khaybar, Mohammed’s army returns.” According to the Central Jewish Council, Khaybar was a place where Jews were murdered by Prophet Mohammad, a central figure in Islam, and his followers in 628, and the slogans are interpreted as “a call for the murder and purge of Jews”.
According to journalist Luai Ahmed, who translated the chants from Arabic, the crowd also chanted “Mohammed’s sword returns”.
“Sweden has never been safer. Islam is a religion of peace, etc”, he noted, deriding the common political tropes and media cliches.
Victor Borslöv-Reichmann, previously an active member of the Moderate Party and the Jewish Youth League, related the incident on Facebook as follows.
Okay, let’s recap: It starts with Danish right-wing extremists burning a Quran in central Malmö. After this, 300 people start a violent riot in Rosengård, where they attack the police. During the riots, the angry mob chants Islamist slogans and hateful expressions about Jews. ‘Jews remember Khaybar, Mohammad’s army returns’. And this in the city that wants to set up a Holocaust museum.
Before you, Malmö’s politicians, try to collect goodwill points for the investment in dead Jews, perhaps you should ensure that your living Jews can continue in safety and security, free from hatred and threats?” he said, calling the development “frightening”.
During the weekend, the riots continued in Ronneby, Blekinge County, where four policemen and a passer-by were injured.
The riots in Malmö and Ronneby were triggered by Danes from the anti-immigration Hard Line party, who burned one copy of the Quran and played football with another one. This in turn, was an escalation from a previous dispute as its leader Rasmus Paludan, who has made a reputation for himself with controversial behaviour such as Quran-burning, which he celebrates as free speech, was arrested and expelled from Sweden for two years, ostensibly to prevent “lawbreaking”. Paludan’s ethno-nationalist Hard Line party seeks a ban on Islam and and end to non-Western immigration, and nearly cracked the parliamentary threshold in the 2019 election….
