Woman Stops Quran-Burning Protest in Sweden with Fire Extinguisher

A woman was detained by Swedish police after spraying an anti-Islam activist with a fire extinguisher during his Quran-burning protest outside the Iranian Embassy in Stockholm. The activist, Salwan Momika, was unhurt and continued his demonstration, which had been authorized by the police. Momika, a refugee from Iraq, has sparked anger in many Muslim countries with his anti-Islam protests. Swedish police have allowed his demonstrations, citing freedom of speech, while filing preliminary hate speech charges against him. The woman was detained on suspicion of disturbing public order and violence against a police officer.
