TL;DR Summary

The Swedish migration agency is re-examining the residency permit of an Iraqi refugee, Salwan Momika, who has been involved in several acts of Qur'an desecration in Stockholm. Momika burned a copy of the Qur'an outside a mosque on Eid Al-Adha and threatened to burn it again in front of the Iraqi Embassy. The migration agency received information from Swedish authorities that prompted a review of his immigration status. Sweden has faced international criticism for recent Qur'an burnings, which have strained its ties with Muslim nations. The Swedish government is considering changes to the Public Order Act to allow police to stop such burnings.
