Muslim Migrant Is First Person Convicted over Easter Qur’an Riots in Sweden
The man is believed to be a citizen of Tajikistan and was allegedly both subject to a deportation order and wanted by police prior to his arrest for his participation in the riots.
Muslim riots broke out across multiple cities in Sweden over Easter as Danish anti-Islam activist Rasmus Paludan and his group Stram Kurs (Hard Line) conducted a series of demonstrations in which they burned copies of the Qur’an, with some riots breaking out before the activists even had a chance to hold their demonstrations.

Plans by the Royal Dramatic Theater, Sweden’s national stage, to engage a radical Islamist in a performance about Islamophobia have raised many eyebrows in the increasingly multicultural Nordic nation.
In November, Amanj Aziz will set the stage at the Royal Dramatic Theater, commonly known as Dramaten, for a dramatized performance lecture on Islamophobia called “Muslim Ban.”
In Sweden, Aziz is a divisive figure that triggers polarizing opinions. Swedish journalist and writer Magnus Sandelin, a researcher of extremism and the author of “Swedish ISIS Fighters — From al-Qaida to Jihadi Cool,” described Amanj Aziz as “very radical,” pointing out his contacts with the al-Taqwa Youth Association in Stockholm, which is known for proselyting a rather extreme strain of Islam.
