A riot broke out when the leader of the far-right Danish party Stram Kurs burned another copy of the Muslim holy book Quran on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rasmus Paludan, who went to the Uppsala Mosque late Sunday under the protection of the police, continued his provocation of burning the copy of the Quran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around 10 people rushed toward Paludan to prevent him from burning the copy of the holy book, while he left by getting into his car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A vehicle was damaged amid the incident, Swedish police said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paludan has been carrying out the provocation in various cities of Denmark since 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
