ibtimes.co.uk: After nearly a dozen reported attacks on mosques across Sweden in 2015, a mosque was flooded with red paper hearts in a show of solidarity for Muslims. People posted colourful hearts with messages on the door of the Uppsala mosque ahead of the Friday prayers on 26 February, a day after the mosque witnessed anti-Muslim rhetoric on its wall.
Police officials said on 25 February that a Molotov cocktail was also thrown at the mosque, however it did not cause a fire. Several other arson reports have emerged recently with mosques suffering damage due to petrol bombs.
