Two men have recently been charged with desecrating and burning the Quran, but the country's ad hoc approach to countering Islamophobia isn't enough.Protesters demonstrate in front of the Consulate General of Sweden in Istanbul after far-right leader Rasmus Paludan burned a copy of the Quran in Stockholm, January 22, 2023.
