The opposition in Sweden demanded the resignation of the head of the Justice Committee in Parliament and member of the far-right Sweden Democrats, Richard Jomshof, following his posting of offensive content about the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ on social media.

The parliamentarian published a post that insulted the noble prophet in response to the calls from Muslims in Sweden for dialogue aimed at reducing Quran-burning incidents in the country.

Following this, the head of the Swedish Social Democratic Party, Magdalena Andersson, the largest opposition party, demanded Jomshof's immediate resignation from the chairmanship of the parliamentary committee.

The spokesperson for foreign affairs for the Social Democrats, Morgan Johansson, stated in a statement to the newspaper "Aftonbladet" that Jomshof cannot remain in his position and must resign.

In recent days, copies of the Holy Quran have been burned in both Sweden and Denmark, which faced widespread condemnations from Arab nations.
