A teacher in the Swedish town of Orebro has been prosecuted for posting anti-Muslim comments on Facebook, local media reported.
Swedish daily Expressen reported the man wrote in February, among other things: “Muslims should be roasted on glowing grills, because it would be a good way to get rid of terrorists.”
The prosecutor said the man expressed contempt for people of Muslim background, Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter reported.
Sweden is facing rising tension against the foreign population inside the country amid a series of arson attacks targeting refugees taking shelter inside asylum homes.
On Oct. 23, a sword-wielding attacker intentionally targeted students of foreign origin at a school in Sweden, according to the police, which called the incident a “hate crime”.
