Summary

Salwan Momika, the Iraqi man who staged several Quran burnings in Sweden in 2023, was shot and killed in Sodertalje, near Stockholm.

His actions had sparked international outrage, riots, and diplomatic tensions. Swedish police confirmed a murder investigation is underway, and several arrests have been made.

    If you legitimately think everyone that disagrees with you, over half the planets population, are all paid trolls or bots… Well it’s just terrible your country has no mental healthcare you can access without going broke and losing your job.

    I sincerely hope you join the world in the 21st century soon. It has to be awful living in the 1950s.

      You’re not “everyone who disagrees with me”, you’re one of a few on Lemmywho are consistently CCP apologists. In this case, your being so open about it is kind of refreshing.

      So I will keep pointing out your hipocracy when you comment on fraught geopolitical issues, such as this. I assume you seek this dialog, else you’d be a bit more subtle.

        No, but you have a long history of claiming people on a website with a peak 40k user base are all bots and paid shills.

        So I’m not every account you’ve ever talked to. There’s not a global conspiracy targeting you. It’s good you can still admit that in your paranoia.
