Sweden Contemplates Amending Laws to Address Quran Burning and Potential Consequences

Sweden's justice minister has indicated that the government may consider amending a protest law following the public burning of a Quran in Stockholm, which sparked outrage in the Muslim world. The incident has led to concerns about potential jihadist violence and threats to internal security. The diplomatic fallout includes Morocco recalling its ambassador and condemnation from Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. Turkey, along with Hungary, has been blocking Sweden's accession to NATO due to concerns about terrorism. The Turkish foreign minister expressed concerns about Sweden's security system and its impact on NATO, but stated that approval would be granted once Sweden completes its "homework."
