Najem was found guilty of hate crimes for “having expressed contempt for the Muslim ethnic group because of their religious beliefs on four occasions”...
: A Swedish court found an anti-Islam campaigner guilty on Monday of hate crimes for staging public burnings of the Quran, in a ruling handed down five days after another man also being prosecuted over the incidents was shot dead.
His fellow campaigner, Iraqi refugee Salwan Momika, was shot dead last week on the day he had been due to receive his verdict in a parallel case. No suspect has been charged yet in that killing; five people were detained but later released. Sweden’s prime minister has said a foreign state may have been behind it.
