Hundreds of intellectuals and artists are concerned about its implications for freedom of expression, while police, lawyers, and prosecutors consider it too imprecise.

    I beg to differ, and I certainly don’t want any blasphemy laws in Sweden!

      No reason to create political uncertainty and foreign relation nightmares just because a bunch of right wing dumbasses want to burn a book.

      Not even mentioning possible terrorist attacks.

        And so giving in to their demands, enforced by threats, is the way to go?

        No, absolutely not, no.

        So you are saying that terrorism works?

          It surprisingly does at time, after all. Bin Laden destroyed the fabric of American domestic security and, more importantly, forced the US into a long, expensive, and disastrous war.

      A total of 2.1% of Swedes are Muslim. It isn’t going to happen.

        It happened in Denmark. Denmark and Sweden both fall into the 5-10 % bracket according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Sweden?wprov=sfla1

        So why exactly ‘isn’t it going to happen’?
