    caused by the these provocateurs,

    This is a 100% false statement, the people burning the Quran did NOT start the riots, the Muslims did.

    completely innocent people have been killed by terrorists because of them.

    This is complete bullshit, violence in Sweden has escalated dramatically because of Muslim dominated gangs, people that come from the middle east with little respect for the democracy that allowed them in. We see similar things in other European countries, but it’s worse in Sweden than anywhere else, and Sweden is the country that has taken the most emigrants from Islamic countries.
    Why are there so many emigrants from Islamic countries? Most of them are even Muslims, but still they can’t live safely in their home country?

    Wrapping the Koran in bacon and setting it on fire was never meaningful criticism of religion

    I agree it’s a provocation, and Muslims were stupid enough to act violently to a non violent provocation. Confirming the worst prejudices against them. Actually making the act a meaningful demonstration of how sick Islam is.
    Extreme Muslims simply can’t help themselves, they feel called to “protect” Islam with violence, even when what they do is harming themselves.
    But just as bad, moderate Muslims fail to condemn it, thereby silently accept the violent behavior and escalation by extreme Muslims.
