Swedish police said that riots broke out on Friday in Malmö, in the south of the country, after hundreds gathered to protest the burning of a copy of the Holy Quran in the city by right-wing extremists.
A police spokesman said that the protesters threw all their hands at the policemen, and tires were set on fire. "We have not controlled the situation, but we are working hard to control it," he said.
Local newspapers reported that Malmö witnessed several anti-Islam activities on Friday, including three people kicking a copy of the Holy Quran among themselves in a public square.
Aftonbladet newspaper said that the anti-Islam protests took place after Rasmus Baludan, leader of the extreme right-wing Danish "hardline approach" party, was refused permission to attend a meeting in Malmö, and his entry was denied at the Swedish border.
Sweden announced Friday that Baloudan, known for its provocations to Muslims, is banned from entering its territory for two years, because it represents "a threat to the basic interests of society."
It was decided that this extreme right-wing would go to Malmö on Friday, to organize an anti-Muslim demonstration, and he had called for the burning of the Holy Quran.
Baloudan - a lawyer and YouTube activist - regularly leads demonstrations involving a number of people to express his opposition to immigration and what he considers the Islamization of society.
