Hi Lina, Do you think we would have reacted the same if it was a Bible that Paludan burned?
Per
Don’t know Peter. So probably don’t think anything special about it.
But if that happens, we will report on any reactions ?
Hi, I know you can’t deny Rasmus Pauldan burning the Koran, but you can’t deny him protection now that there’s such a shortage of police officers. We have to put a stop to the Danish pig.
Tobias Ljungberg
Joakim Nergelius, professor of jurisprudence, explains how it works in this article.
Oisín Cantwell pondered the question in this column last spring.
Peter Kadhammar has also written about it, here you can read how he reasoned.
Why not just totally ignore Paludan when he burns the Koran!? After all, every individual who worldwide gets upset every time the Koran is burned makes themselves Paludan’s useful idiots. He thus gets exactly the attention he desires, plus a little more.

Does the price increase for snus also apply to tobacco-free snus?
leif
It seems unclear.
We have contacted Swedish Match regarding this, but they have not yet given an answer.
Should I, as a Swede, be upset by the burning of Swedish flags by offended people in, among other places, Ankara? In fact, I don’t care one bit! So easily offended, I’m glad I’m not ???
