During the summer, Sweden saw several instances of the Quran being desecrated in front of embassies of countries including Iraq and Turkey. This led to widespread protests in the Muslim world and resulted in some countries summoning Swedish diplomats.
In response to these incidents, Denmark passed a law making it illegal to burn the Quran.
Following his actions, Sweden decided to expel Momika due to the strained relations with Islamic countries and the global Muslim outrage against him.
