A couple months ago, on the first day of a major Islamic religious holiday, a man casually walked up to a mosque in Stockholm, Sweden. With hundreds of people looking on, he produced a Koran and began ripping out the pages. He wiped a few of these pages on his shoe. Then, the man set the Koran on fire.
Five thousand miles away, at the U.S. State Department, Joe Biden’s diplomats sprang into action. Within hours, the State Department issued the strongest possible condemnation of the Koran burning. “I will say that we do condemn it,” said a State Department spokesman. The spokesman added that the demonstration had created “an environment of fear” that “will impact the ability of Muslims and members of other religious minority groups from freely exercising their right to freedom of religion or belief in Sweden.”
