AHMAD ALUSH obtained permission from Swedish authorities last week to hold a protest outside the Israeli embassy in Stockholm on Saturday. He intended, he said, to publicly burn a Torah and a Christian Bible in retaliation for the burning of a Quran in front of Stockholm's largest mosque last month. The burning of the Quran on June 28 — for which Swedish police had also granted permission — set off a deluge of outrage. The governments of numerous Islamic countries condemned the action. So did the US State Department and the president of Israel. With tensions running high, Alush's plan to set fire to copies of the Jewish and Christian scriptures was guaranteed to make an ugly situation even uglier. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
