He says it was particularly offensive that last week's Koran burning took place in front of a mosque.
"It was tragic and very difficult that it happened during the holiday of Eid al-Adha.
One of the people behind the new applications for permission to burn the Koran also wants to do it in front of a mosque.
– It does no good, no one benefits from it, it only has negative consequences for society, says Mahmoud Khalif.
"Creates contradictions and conflicts"

UN holds extraordinary meeting
Last week's Koran burning has provoked strong reactions in the outside world. Among other things, people protested in Iraq last week and Pakistan has called for a nationwide protest on Friday. The Swedish Foreign Ministry also condemned the act, calling it Islamophobic, something that has been met with criticism from freedom of speech experts.
On Wednesday, the World Jewish Congress (WJC) also condemned the incident, TT reports.
"Burning religious texts is a clear act of hatred and a fundamental assault on all who are believers," WJC president Ronald Lauder said in a statement.
Mahmoud Khalif at the Stockholm mosque hopes that the strong reactions from the outside world will lead to Swedish politicians stopping continued burning. If it is not stopped, he worries about the consequences for Sweden.
"You create contradictions and conflicts.
On Wednesday, the UN Human Rights Council also announced that the extraordinary meeting on "Koran burnings in Europe" will be held in Geneva, Switzerland, on Tuesday, July 11. This follows a request for a meeting from Pakistan on behalf of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC).
