A Quran was set on fire at the Turkish embassy in Stockholm, Sweden, last week. It was the reason for a number of fanatical activists to head for Meir in Antwerp on Sunday afternoon. The plan? Treating the passers-by of the busiest shopping street in the country to Koranic verses through loudspeakers.
The action was scheduled for 4 p.m., but officers from the local police arrived almost immediately. The organizer had no permission. He had to clean up the music boxes and was sent home firmly. A number of bystanders could not taste the breaking up of the protest. “Racists,” he muttered to the police.
