Loading ...Sweden Allows New Quran-Burning Demonstration Ahead Of NATO Summit
The Swedish government gave approval to organizers of a Quran-burning demonstration outside of a mosque in Stockholm on June 28.
The decision is expected to draw the ire of Turkey and hinder the Nordic country’s potential NATO membership, as has happened previously.
NATO officials are looking to admit Stockholm into the US-led alliance during the Vilnius Summit in Lithuania next month. Officials have previously clarified that not resolving Sweden’s admission by July would send a dangerous and humiliating message to the security alliance’s enemies.
