"Quran Desecrations and Protests Fuel Rising Security Risks in Sweden, Warns Security Agency"

Sweden's security situation has worsened due to recent Quran burnings and protests, leading to a negative impact on the country's image, according to the Swedish Security Service. The agency warns that Sweden's reputation has shifted from being tolerant to hostile towards Islam and Muslims, with attacks on Muslims being sanctioned by the state. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation has suspended Sweden's special envoy over the Quran burnings. The risk of terrorism in Sweden remains elevated, and the country is now a target of malicious influencing campaigns. The Swedish government denies granting permission for Quran burnings and emphasizes its commitment to religious freedom and respect for different beliefs.
