What's the alternative to allowing the dude to burn the Quran? Ban book burning to appease a religious minority?

Ban being an openly racist asshole?

Obviously Paludan's move is pure provocation and I don't begrudge people falling for it, but the depth to which they fall is pretty disturbing.

The dude couldn't even get enough votes to get elected, his views are not endorsed by anyone.

Like I mentioned above the reason for the riots are deeper than just him burning a book. But I definitely think this has been handled very poorly by Swedish authorities. They could have just not granted him a permit given that his explicit purpose all along was to incite violence (like they do in Denmark). Or they could have done what we do in Skne regularly which is grant the permit but relocate him so he gets to do his shit in some white suburb where no one cares and there aren't Muslims celebrating Ramadan across the street.
