The court highlighted that while making critical statements about Islam is permitted, disrespect towards any ethnic group must not exceed the boundary of genuine discussion.
Rasmus Paludan was sentenced for incitement, as his previous convictions in Denmark demonstrated a pattern of disrespect towards Muslims by burning the Qur'an.
Prosecutor Adrien Combier-Hogg noted this conviction represents a significant step in the political context of permitted protest events in Sweden.
Paludan's actions included setting fire to a Qur'an with bacon, showing clear disrespect and animosity toward Muslims rather than engaging in valid discourse.
