Eight police officers were injured and several police cars were set on fire in connection with the violent riot in Örebro on Friday.
- Those who committed these acts do not represent the Arab and Muslim community in the city, says Hussam Murad and continues:
- This is about individual actions performed by thoughtless, hot-tempered young people, he says.
A pure provocation
The decision to give Rasmus Paludan permission to demonstrate and burn the Koran is a pure provocation during the holy fasting month of Ramadan, according to Murad.
- We wish that permission had not been granted at this particular time because it hurts the Arab and Muslim minorities, says Hussam Murad.
