Swedish Embassy in Iraq Attacked Over Koran Burning

[Perknose]

Iraq tells Sweden it will cut ties if Koran burned again

Iraq told Sweden it would sever diplomatic ties if a Koran is burned again, after hundreds of people stormed the Swedish embassy in Baghdad and set it alight in a protest against plans for one to be burned in Stockholm later on Thursday.

This is part and parcel of Turkey's Erdogan's beef with Sweden. Sweden has given asylum to Kurds that Turkey considers terrorists, so he blocked Sweden's ascention to Nato for the longest time. This aroused anti-Islamist sentiment in Sweden, and a "radical" burned a Koran in protest there. This inflames Islamist radicals everywhere. Nobody wins.

Well, perhaps someone should tell regular folk the real story.

1. Morons in Iraq blow this out of proportion for personal profit and power gains.
2. Morons in Sweden in reaction to 1. blows this out of proportion for personal profit and power gains.
3. Morons in Iraq in reaction to no 2. blows this out of proportion for personal profit and power gains.

As long as we allow them to accumulate power off our ignorance, they'll keep milking it.


I dont know if it's a good idea, it probably is not, but could we not just keep burning endless copies of the book until no-one cares anymore? But of course then they'll just find something else to entice the crowd with.

How fucking stupid is it, 2023, to get enraged over a piece of paper on fire. God damn. Almost as stupid as men deciding healthcare for women. Wooops.

Paging Ron Desantis.

If you’re looking to be offended, sure, page Ron.

On the other hand if you enjoy personal freedoms you must realize that some moron somewhere is always gonna set fire to that piece of paper. Are you gonna repeal personal freedom and make that act illegal or maybe you are just gonna take that diplomatic skirmish every other day?
Or maybe take the “weapon” away from both camp a and camp b?
Monday is bible burning day.
Tuesday is Quran burning day.
Wed…

But hey, why think it over if I can go offended about it right?

I dont know what paradoxical dissonance chemical they're burning upstairs but on the "Dan Bongino"-level alt-right, they're actually talking about the left as the fascist. The gaslighting is real.

Maybe there's something to this. People get upset about a burning today but if it happens every day by anonymous people eventually it just becomes a normal part of daily life and people will probably eventually stop raging. You can rage and protest every day... Eventually you need to go to work and like actually do stuff.

Yea thats the idea, get em numb to the idea that crazy swedes are crazy.

I mean the general idea that just because they find something sacred and someone somewhere desecrates it, it doesn't mean you rage and have an out of control response. I mean if you show a picture of Mohammed they cut your head off, blow up your office building, etc etc . At some point in history that sort of stuff needs to stop. Maybe chronic desensitization is the route (some anonymous website that no one knows who hosts or supports or funds where everyday something is desecrated with no one to specifically target.) After a while people will just sort of say well this is life now and just move on. Then when someone does it and you know who they are (like some free speech radical in this case) you can't have a crazy response after ignoring years of the same thing happening every day.
