Every participant in the Swedish riots – from Rasmus Paludan to the rioters themselves, to the people condemning or praising these events – is taking part ...

They are playing to the gallery, to their own different audiences. My point is that religious people almost everywhere can be driven to violence given the circumstances. It’s also worth noting that Paludan needs the attention, as he doesn’t have enough signatures to be a candidate in the coming elections. The riots will also play into fears in Sweden that their generous policy of welcoming refugees and immigrants has turned sour, with youngsters refusing to integrate and choosing a life of criminality and/or religious extremism instead. And they will say, quite rightly, that the culture and laws of Sweden allow people to insult religion if they want to. Forgive me if you’ve heard this one before: a provocateur threatens to burn copies of Islam’s holy text, the Qu’ran, is threatened, and generates outrage and unrest.
