TL;DR Summary

A man set fire to pages of the Koran outside Stockholm's main mosque, sparking condemnation from Turkey and further straining relations between the two countries. The man, who had been granted a permit for the protest, is being investigated for "agitation against an ethnic group." Turkey, which is blocking Sweden's NATO bid, criticized the act as "despicable" and called for Sweden to crack down on Kurdish groups it considers "terrorists." The incident comes after a previous Koran burning outside Turkey's embassy in Stockholm in January, which led to weeks of protests and calls for a boycott of Swedish goods.
