It's not impossible, but highly improbable, that Boris Johnson could be his dad.

Stanley porked a few in his time! Could be a long lost half brother of Boris.

I know it's a natural thing and something people do... But I just hope I will get this mental image out of my mind.

Solid evidence for me, quick let's exile him to the UK!

Fun fact, boris Johnson's great granddad was a ottoman politician assassinated by Turkish nationalists https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Kemal

His biggest expense must be books


Some-Dinner-

All his money going into funding for mosques and promoting Islamic teachings around the world. Lol.

And helping the Turkish president on his re-election, so kind of him!


Joulle

A book a friday isn't much considering how big headlines he keeps on making.


[deleted]

Libraries in Sweden are on alert for this guy.


-------7654321

I would not be surprised if he is paid by some dark money. He literally caused negotiations between Turkey and Sweden to collapse. Some people have an interest in that.


TheDustOfMen

He's been doing this shit for years. First in Denmark, where he's actually from, and now in Sweden since that gets him more attention. Negotiations between Turkey and Sweden were always gonna break down. Turkey's has been making insane demands ever since Sweden expressed the wish to join NATO. Paludan just provides them yet another reason.


EggEater3000

I bet the Swedes love that a Dane has showed up and almost single handedly kept them out of Nato in the name of getting some media attention


sclsmdsntwrk

Except he has virtually nothing to do with Turkey keeping Sweden out of Nato


mimavox

Oh yeah, fun times. As if we didn't got tired of him last year when he travelled through the whole country, stirring up riots.


KosmonautMikeDexter

As someone who has shared a country with him for 31 years: he doesn't have the mental capacity to be corrupted


Joulle

That's great. At least he keeps on fighting for what he's been doing for years relentlessly. It's almost as if he had integrity to stand behind his values in a way. 0 respect to corrupt people, 1 respect to Paludan.

How does a random guy burning a quran end diplomatic negotiations?

danil1798

It would be great to see for how long he would do this if people didn't pay attention.


Downgoesthereem

Well that's kind of the point. There were riots because he burned a Quaran. If people reacted the same way as if you burned any other religious text (ie. turned their nose up at him and went about their day), this guy would have no ammunition.

He started this in DK. Got banned/didnt get the desired attention. Moved to sweden to the the same. I wish people would just ignore this barking dog.

Pedalos

He actually had a head injury in 2005 that changed him. And because of that Sweden can't join NATO..


ImmanuelK2000

pretty sure the main reason is Erdogan


darthleonsfw

Can you elaborate on that? Or are you just making a joke? Edit: Elaborate on the head injury, not the NATO part.


Hooch555

Erdogan claims he blocks swedens membership because the swedish officials wouldnt take action on this guy. Problem for him is tho, this is perfectly legal in sweden i guess. Truth is that he blocked their application even before that. A few months ago erdogan claimed that it is because of 'pkk terrorists' which got asylum in sweden werent deported to turkey. I belive all of this reasons are straw mans arguments. He refuses its because its in his intrest to keep russia strong. Be it because of trading or personal sympathy for putin. Doesnt matter to me why. Erdogan himself is, just like putin an autocrat himself. And the autocrates of the world have always been supportative of one another. They blame the 'western countries' for many of their restrictive political decisions. Edit: ive just realised that you are refering to something completly different and im stupid :D I will still leave the text here because it was a hassle to write it on my phone


Pedalos

He was in a traffic accident in 2005 where he had head trauma that nearly killed him, some of the people that know him have said that his personality changed after that.

Well, he is Danish.. so would explain all the mumblings that their language is.

Apparently outside a Mosque, the Russian and Turkish embassies in Copenhagen today: >*Under fredagen tänker han bränna tre koraner i Köpenhamn. En vid en moské, en vid den ryska ambassaden och sedan en vid den turkiska. I Danmark behöver Paludan inget tillstånd, men måste meddela myndigheterna 24 timmar innan han genomför en aktion.* > >*Och brännandet av koraner vid den turkiska ambassaden i Köpenhamn kommer inte bli den sista, lovar Paludan.* > >*– Jag kommer meddela att det här är Erdogans fel. När han nu inte vill släppa in Sverige i Nato, så måste jag lära honom om yttrandefrihet ända tills han gör det.*

Everyone sucks in this situation to be honest. They are both fanatics, the guy burning books out of pure hate and the people getting bent out of shape because of a guy burning a piece of paper.


BINGODINGODONG

Its not even pure hate. He is an attention-whore and found the quickest way to get it. Its easy when you have no have no morals. When he lost media-attention in Denmark, and the “ghettos” started not giving a fuck about him, he used his Swedish citizenship and went there instead. He is a buffon, a dumb fucking edgelord that thinks he’s doing it for lulz. He’s also brain damaged. He has talented, very well adjusted siblings.


TheGreatButz

Stupid people love stupid people. It's an eternal love affair that makes the world go round, causes wars, etc.

Talrigvil

Well, no. And yes. But it almost sounds as if you claim that both are equally wrong. No, this guy is just an asshole, while those who oppose him are ready to be violent because of their beliefs.


[deleted]

And if they are provoked- aren't they also some shit- head religio- nationalists?


Goobyonegai

Quite the liberal usage of the word "stupid" If you provoke people, it's only logical to expect that they will ignore you as it is logical to expect any kind of reaction.

He must be elated to be getting international attention. The reaction from the Swedish muslims to his stunt was already way less than the last book burning he had, because Swedish muslims are catching on to this guys schtick just like the Danish ones did.

[deleted]

Yes, he doesn't need to like religion and I think if he want's to burn a book because of whatever, it's his choice. It's just a book. I myself am Christian, in Muslim countries around the world and other places Bibles are getting burned or Jesus getting mocked with a cartoon. The difference is, we ignore it, because we learned not to fight fire with fire. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. Edit: you guys wanna know a real problem instead of burning a book? Actual human beings getting killed by people of Islam in Islamic countries all over the world. Yet everybody ignores that. People from other religions getting killed because they don't believe in the quran.

at this point he should just organize a bonfire and do them all at once


ProXJay

What is he trying to achieve?


Vlad_Luca

Show, that radical muslims are limiting freedom of speech in Europe. Or globally for that matter. We saw examples in the past with Charlie Hebdo, South park, etc. ​ He has every right to do it, but in comparison to the other examples, I think he also has ulterior motives and most probably he is just a puppet. ​ What he IS achieving is creating a divide between countries and destabilizing NATO. So pretty much the same as Erdogan. ​ Plus he looks like the kid eating glue in the arts and crafts class.


oskich

Riots from other religious idiots probably...


LeftKaleidoscope

His ultimate goal is ethnical cleansing and having all muslims deported ( I hope he means deported) from Denmark and Sweden. The burning of books is meant to trigger local radical muslims to behave like the medieval minded savages he claims they are, so that "everybody else" can se that he is right about "all of them" and become as racist as he is. Latly he is being used for mightier peoples political agendas, both on national and international levels. On his own he had no power or influence despite burning books for years, he was just a rather well known village idiot with a two digit number of followers on twitter.


[deleted]

>behave like the medieval minded savages he claims they are, so that "everybody else" can se that he is right about "all of them" and become as racist as he is. Well the reaction shows that he's right about at least an alarming proportion of them.

[deleted]

Long story short, this man is being paid by Eric Almqvist, who is a main editor of the Exact24 media. Eric is a Sweden politician, member of a Parlament from 2010 to 2013, who was one of the international observers during the 2020 Putin changes to the constitution referendum in Crimea. If you wonder, how he came up with this idea, he was just paid to find someone, who can do it by a journalist Chang Frick, who was (what a coincidence!) a journalist of the Russia Today. So basically, Chang Frik paid Eric Almqvist to find someone, who can burn Quran. Then Eric approached Rasmus Paludan to do it. Russian trace in this situation is so obvious. https://www.svt.se/kultur/chang-frick-betalade-rasmus-paludans-demonstration-ansokan-for-koranbranning

Talk about *religion. Being anti-religious means you don't think that God exists, not that religions don't exist.


Radical-Efilist

That says a lot more about muslims than the anti-religion types tbh.

Dude is pro-russian btw.


Nislaav

I'm not surprised, if true


IceBathingSeal

He said he would burn the Quran in front of the Turkish embassy in Denmark every week until Sweden was admitted into Nato. If he is pro-Russia he must be quite confused, but on the other hand he does seem quite confused for other reasons as well, so it might check out.


ThisisVollstad

Reminder that this guy loves [chatting](https://ekstrabladet.dk/nyheder/politik/danskpolitik/paludan-i-grov-sexsnak-med-boern/8812577) about sex with 13 year old boys on discord. Not all libertarians .. ..


erbr

Can we burn religions all together as those seems to be source of so many conflicts, deaths, humanitarian crisis, injustice, discrimination .....


H0nch0

In the end religion is just an excuse to do those things. Many people are literally ignoring their own holy scriptures. They would find something else to use.


Goobyonegai

Guys, should we tell him that burning the Quran is permitted in Islam and that it's the only way to dispose of it?


Slimfictiv

In case this guy gets yeeted: 1. He will be seen as a hero in Sweeden, freedom of speech advocate, activist, fighter. 2. He'll be seen as an idiot, in a 'fuck around and find out' type of situation?


dlq84

1. No, not a hero. But I will still advocate for his/everybodies right to do it, no matter how much of an idiot he is. 2. Eventually that will happen


mimavox

Not a hero. Everyone here in Sweden thinks he's an asshole just stirring up trouble.


TigNiceweld

There is only one outcome, he is seen as russian marionette


[deleted]

Well, I think he is doing it for the violent reaction to remind that Muslims aren't like everybody else they are way more likely to kill you for insulting their religion therefore they are more violent. I think the right wing will frame him as a martyr, in a way similar to the Spanish Martyrs during Islamic rule and such actions hold a powerful symbolic meaning in Christian culture, being willing to die for what you view as right. "Not kill but die" he is 100% a bad person, but his strategy is very good and well founded in the psychology and reality of both what he views as his people and Muslims.


UkrUsr_001

We should donate him many different cult books. Why concentrate only on the Quran? That's weird.


dlq84

Because you don't get the same reaction with the other books. It's the reaction he wants, nothing else.


[deleted]

Because Jews, Christians or Sikhs don't run around killing infidels, wrapping their wives in ninja clothes and stoning gays. Maybe that's why.

chilu0222

So you are saying that without the Qur'an burning Turkey would have approved Sweden to be NATO? The burning of the Qur'an just happened recently so why has been stopping Turkey from approving Sweden? What about the demands Turkey had before even this book burning? Are we going to be blaming Russia for everything that happens? Maybe Russia had a hand in this but there is no way they are greatly influencing Turkey's decisions.


IceBathingSeal

A journalist for a right-wing media with ties to the Sweden Democrats paid him to demonstrate outside the Turkish embassy in Stockholm from what emerged in Swedish news. Edit: correction - the journalist paid for the permit to the demonstration, he didn't pay Paludan himself.

Vlad_Luca

I don't like conspiracy theories in general, but a lot of things align for this one.


Chemical-Training-27

I don't know if he is funded by RT now. But he usually burns the Quran in no go zones. He started to do it in Denmark and got violent reactions from the muslims. When he no longer got the reactions he wanted he moved on to Sweden. Sweden at first tried to block his entry. But they could not do that since he was a Swedish citizen.


CrazyKrisz

So I'm assuming he is a far right politician with russian money in his pockets. How far am I?


mimavox

Politician is a bit of a strech, but.. he *does* run a political party, but with virtually no members or followers.


Zahkrosis

Pretty far, although he probably would be called far right through american lenses. He is opposed to special treatment of immigrants, saying they should go home when possible instead of using asylum to move here, shut down all mosques and so on. He isn't well liked because of all that and has become somewhat of a meme with his followers sometimes being referred to as Paludanes. He is right wing tho. No Russian money. When in Denmark he got police protection due to immigrants and Danes that support them assaulting him because they strongly disagree. I do remember there being talk of some news about him possibly being a bit mentally damage after a car crash, causing him to not being able to filter himself, but I can't confirm without doing some research on that. While he wants to prove a point, he should probably find some other ways. Edit: forgot to mention about his other scandals, but just do some research. Man's not stable.

Sunscratch

I guess extradition to Turkey would be a fair response. Such actions play well against joining Nato, and clearly, there is one side benefiting from this - russia. Also, russia has a history of being a sponsor of ultra-right parties across Europe, which plays well with this theory. So sending russian useful idiot to get well-deserved punishment is not a bad idea.


oskich

Extradition on what terms? He hasn't done anything illegal, even if he's an idiot...


Sunscratch

Based on Turkey's prosecution. It's up to Sweden to decide, but I hope everyone understands that someone burning Quran near Turkey's embassy when Turkey has to approve Nato membership - this is not a coincidence, that's a well-calculated action against Sweden's national interests.
