Salwan Momika, an Iraqi living in Sweden who ignited global outrage from Muslims by burning the Quran in 2023, was shot dead in an apartment in Södertälje, Stockholm.

Swedish police confirmed that the man, in his 40s, succumbed to gunshot wounds after a late-night attack on Wednesday.

Five people have been arrested in connection with the killing.

Momika had been facing charges of “agitation against an ethnic group” and was awaiting a court verdict when he was killed.

His actions had previously led to violent protests in Muslim-majority nations, including attacks on Sweden’s embassy in Baghdad.

Sweden’s Prime Minister, Ulf Kristersson, acknowledged that security services were investigating potential foreign involvement in the incident.

  1. ALL religions are corrupt.
    That is why I always had ‘No Religious Preference’ on my dog tags when serving in Vietnam right up to Gulf War One.
    Others I served with had ‘Agnostic’ on theirs.
    All religions, and religious texts and practices have violent homicidal content being referenced to ie the Bible, Quran, Talmud, Torah, etc.
    Religions have been used to foment wars and persecutions, ie the Inquisitions, Pogroms, Martyrdom, etc.
    It’s written in many contexts that ‘Thru peace they wage war’, and the enemies are well clarified and identified.
    Buddism, and Confucius, and some elements of Hinduism are more historically accurate from antiquity.

      • Yes…after being drafted and threatened with a 10 year prison sentence if I refused to go.
        I didn’t have $$ to pay lawyers or get deferred by attending University, and my parents were not politicians.
        Many potential draftees went to Canada, Sweden, and to overseas locations that did not have an extradition treaty with the U.S..
        Some were able to go ‘4-F’ meaning unqualified for service. If that happened, then one would have problems finding a job in the civilian realm, as ‘4-F’ meant that you were defective in some way, either physically or mentally. It was almost as bad as getting a Bad Conduct Discharge, or a Dishonorable Discharge. All three would relate one to a life of unaffordable living.
        My role in the ‘Nam was Air Rescue and Recovery, and we saved many lives in that regard. One in such a role is below-

        Those who were Conscience Objectors would often go into the military, but serve in a non-combatant role or in a humanitarian role, if that makes any sense despite the entire effort was a war based on lies and deceptions as are most wars. The C.O’s had difficult times in trying to get along with those who were war mongers.
        There are 4,330 U.S. Veterans living in New Zealand. Some are Permanent Residents, and some have since become NZ Citizens. Out of those, around 3,000 are former Combat Veterans who served in various roles at various times.
        There is one thing that Kiwis can count on; IF New Zealand was ever attacked, invaded, or a National Emergency declared, the Yank Kiwis would be the first ones to report to the recruiting offices to defend their homes, families, communities and adopted country. We’ve been there, we are trained, and we know what to expect with the unpleasant aspects of conflict.
        Sometimes one has to experience these flaws in mankind, to further understand where NOT to go in life, and to do what you can to prevent such from re-occurring.
        I wonder if any pink /blue haired heavily tattooed types with obscene piercings would even show-up to defend their own land and country…
