is bracing for riots in Stockholm today after police approved a protest where the organiser plans to burn a Koran outside the city's main mosque on the first day of the Muslim three-day Eid al-Adha holiday.
The green light came two weeks after a Swedish appeals court rejected a police ban on Koran burning protests, following a burning of the Muslim holy book outside Turkey's embassy in January which led to weeks of protests, calls for a boycott of Swedish goods and further stalled Sweden's membership bid.
In its permit for Wednesday's demonstration, the police wrote that while it 'may have foreign policy consequences', the security risks and consequences linked to a Koran burning were not of such a nature that the application should be rejected.
