Sweden:
"A Place to Islamize"
|
![]()
Swedish Security Service chief Anders Thornberg revealed
that the recruitment of Swedish youths to violent Islamism threatens to
overwhelm the security service.
|
On May 2, journalist Per Gudmundson revealed in his blog, where he
monitors violent Islamists, that a Swedish-Iraqi named Jasim al Tib was
killed in combat against ISIS. The man apparently fought for al-Hashd
al-Shaabi (People's Mobilization), an umbrella organization mainly for Shiite
militia groups. The group was founded in June 2014 by the Iraqi government.
Its forces are said to number about 100,000 men, and its purpose is
apparently to fight the Islamic State.
On May 5, Haras Rafiq, president of the Quilliam Foundation, a British
think tank that tries to stop young Muslims from becoming radicalized, aimed
harsh criticism at the Swedish government's indulgence of Islamists:
"Sweden, to a much larger extent than other countries, allows hate
preachers to enter the country and give lectures to spread their message.
Sweden should deal with this."
Erdogan's Fake
Campaign to Save Morsi
by Burak Bekdil

- As always, the
protests were an Islamist show, rather than a liberal, pro-democracy
rally to condemn capital punishment.
- That is typical
Erdogan. He speaks against the "death sentence," while
ignoring the number of people executed every year in the homeland of his
Saudi friends, never even hinting that Sisi's Saudi friends might help
as well.
- If Erdogan is
serious about saving his friend, Morsi, he should first speak to the
Saudis instead of constantly blaming the fall of a Muslim Brotherhood
leader on the Christian West.

Those were the days...
Egypt's then President Mohamed Morsi (left) poses with Turkey's then Prime Minister (now President) Recep Tayyip Erdogan, before Morsi was overthrown and jailed in 2013. Erdogan recently said, "For me, Morsi is Egypt's president, not Sisi." |
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's fierce campaign to help out his
ideological next-of-kin, Egypt's former President Mohamed Morsi, is not doing
any favor to the Muslim Brotherhood man. Morsi, who was deposed by General
Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi in 2013, was recently sentenced by an Egyptian court to
both death and life imprisonment, for separate crimes.
Once again, Erdogan is more motivated by ideological rhetoric -- aimed
at boosting his popularity at home and on the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas
streets -- than serving a democratic purpose, which, in this case, should be
to save Morsi at least from his death sentence.
Muhammad
Cartoons shown on Dutch TV
by Geert Wilders

- "You can't
draw me," says Muhammad.
- "That's why
I draw you," says Bosch Fawstin, the winner of the cartoon contest.
- That says it all.
What is not allowed by Islam and by the violence of terrorists, we will
do it anyway. And we call that: Freedom of speech.

A few weeks ago, I was in Garland, Texas, at a conference and an
exhibition of Muhammad cartoons. Shortly after I had spoken, a terrorist
attack took place. Islam and the terrorists do not want us to show these
cartoons. But terror and violence may never defeat freedom of speech. That is
exactly the reason why we should do what the terrorists want to prevent us
from doing.
I asked the Board of the Dutch Parliament if I could show the cartoons
in their building. They refused. And yet it is very important that we show
them. That is the only way to assure that the terrorists do not defeat
freedom of speech. That is why I show them to you today.
"You can't draw me," says Muhammad.
"That's why I draw you," says Bosch Fawstin, the winner of the
cartoon contest.
That says it all.
What is not allowed by Islam and by the violence of terrorists, we will
do it anyway.
And we call that: Freedom of speech.
