In Sweden, self-proclaimed free-speech advocates have submitted at least three requests to the police to burn religious texts, including a Torah book, which is likely to cause further international uproar.

This comes just a week after the burning of a Quran outside the main mosque in the city, which triggered a backlash across the Islamic world.

According to reports, a man in his 30s has applied to burn Jewish and Christian holy books outside the embassy on July 15 as a symbolic gathering for freedom of speech.

A woman in her 50s has requested permission to burn a Quran in Stockholm as soon as possible.

Previous requests to burn the Muslim holy book were approved by the police, leading to international condemnation.

The latest applications are currently under review. The burning of religious texts, regardless of the faith, has been widely condemned as an act of hatred and disrespect.

Sweden’s government has denounced the Quran burning incident as Islamophobic, and several countries have summoned Swedish ambassadors in protest.

While Sweden recognizes the right to freedom of expression, authorities are investigating whether the act constitutes agitation against an ethnic group.
