Swedish Muslims Not Amused by Quran Burning Joke

A Swedish comedian has been receiving death threats on social media after he made a joke about recent controversial protests that involved burning the Quran, wrote the local Nyheter Idag on Monday, July 10th. Although the object of mockery was the typical Swedish mentality, and not Islam or the act itself, the Muslim community’s reaction was volatile, reminiscent of the turmoil caused by the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy nearly two decades ago.

The comedian Fredrik Andersson posted the segment of his new show on Friday, during which he made fun of how law-abiding Swedes behave, even when preparing for a protest.
