The film could not be interpreted other than that the suspect wanted to express threats and contempt towards Muslims, the court in the city of Linköping said on Thursday. The recording was specifically directed against Muslims, not against Islam as a religion.
According to news agency TT, this is the first case in which a Swedish court has investigated whether burning the Koran could constitute sedition.
In September 2020, the 27-year-old made and distributed a film in which a Quran and bacon were burned on a grill and then left in front of the entrance to a mosque. Music could be heard in the background of the recording, which the court found was clearly related to the 2019 mosque attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, which left 51 dead.
According to TT, the man denied having committed a crime himself. Instead, he stated that his message was against Islam as a religion.
This year, individuals in Sweden and later Denmark burned copies of the Quran several times, sparking angry reactions among Muslims. All this caused many diplomatic problems for the Scandinavian countries.
