Sweden: Protester Backs Off Plan to Burn Torah After Causing International Outcry

A man in Sweden planned to burn the Torah and Bible outside the Israeli embassy but decided against it.
He intended to draw attention to a recent Quran burning but said he never planned to actually burn books.
Israeli and Jewish leaders strongly condemned the planned protest, calling it an act of hate.
Sweden had granted a permit for the event based on freedom of expression rights.
The protester aimed to highlight the line between free speech and offending groups, but ultimately chose not to go through with the book burning.
