Rasmus Paludan’s prosecution lays bare Sweden’s dangerous abandonment of free speech, where courts silence dissent and protect Islam from critique—even as they condemn a politician already hunted, violently attacked, and forced to live in constant fear for his life simply for defending Western values.
In a decision that has ignited fierce debate over the limits of free speech and judicial interpretation, Danish-Swedish politician and lawyer Rasmus Paludan was sentenced to four months in prison by the Malmö District Court. The case, rooted in Paludan’s 2022 Quran-burning protests and speeches on Islam, questions the extent of free expression protections in Sweden, the weaponization of courts to target political opponents, and the lengths the Swedish government will go to appease Islam.
Background on the Conviction
Paludan’s conviction centers on a rally he held on April 16, 2022, near Malmö, which was followed by massive violent attacks and riots by Islamic migrants who were welcomed into Sweden. In a highly symbolic act, he burned the Quran, criticizing Islam and calling for an open debate on immigration and their lack of integration.

Sweden invited and welcomed Islam into their country.
However ....The Islamic refuges saw it as “Allah” opening the door for them to spread Islam throughout their country and other EU countries....they did not see it as the EU ‘rescuing’ them.
Young men saw it as a means to avoid direct fighting since spreading Islam in another country is credited and equal to that of a warrior fighter.
The march for the Islamification of Europe continues.....unabated.
Muslims will be in the streets again if they try.......they will be fought against without question.
It is imperative.
Our republic has no allies in Western Europe.
But Deep State has plenty, don’t they...
and islam is not the cult they want to cave to
Swedish Political prisoner, no different from the people in Stalin’s full gulags.
Shameful, Swedes!
Pulling out of NATO will avoid the entanglements that led Europe into WWI.
What’s the Arabic word for those that agree to become the slaves of muslims?
BTTT
This is almost worth me getting back on FB to throw it in the face of a stupid HS classmate who thought Sweden a better place than US.

It is time for a “Hero of Europe, the likes of Charles Martell or John Sobieski, to lead the return of Muslims to muslim lands.
“Chase them,”is more the need. The Syrian hordes are dangerous because they are attempting to change the culture of the European Countries.
