Officials in the Sweden government accused Iran and the Revolutionary Guards of sending tens of thousands of text messages to Muslim residents of the Scandinavian country calling to avenge last year's Koran fires by Swedish right-wing activists.

According to reports abroad, Sweden's main inter-agency, the SAPO, stated that the terrorist organization, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, sent messages with inciting content so that Muslim immigrants in Sweden would embark on huge demonstrations and wreak havoc in the country.

The content had "Islamophobic" content designed to incite Muslim immigrants, portrayed Sweden as an "enemy of Islam," and called on angry migrants to harm Sweden citizens.

Last year, the Sweden government allowed right-wing activists in the country to burn Korans in protest of terrorism in Europe sparked by uncontrolled and unregulated migration of Muslim migrants from the Middle East.

The burning of Korans has sparked huge waves of protests by Muslim immigrants in Sweden and throughout Europe. In addition, huge demonstrations were also held in front of Sweden embassies in Muslim countries such as Egypt, Lebanon, Pakistan and more.
