Sweden: "Where Are the Peaceful Muslims?"

I am cross-posting an article appearing in the Swedish website, Samtiden. The article is posted by Jakob Sjölander, but he is posting an op-ed by Birgitta Sparf, a Swedish sociologist and influencer. Sparf asks the question: Where are the peaceful Muslims in Sweden? It is a rhetorical question.

Her article is translated by Fousesquawk.

Birgitta Sparf: Where are the Muslim opponents of Muslim violence?

Islam is sometimes called, "the religion of peace", and not always with irony. But is it, perhaps, only a few Muslims who commit acts of violence? Birgitta Sparf wonders where all the Muslims who protest against this are.

The majority of Muslims in Sweden are peaceful! That is the message that is often heard when it comes to the spread of Islam in the country. I have always been very skeptical of this claim.

 

A gang of fanatical, anti-Semitic, Hamas supporters occupy the street area at the entrance to the Parliament building and attack passersby and parliament members who dare venture out on the grounds they (the protesters) have occupied and claimed as theirs with screams, yelling, megaphones, flags, and wild drums. 

It's OK if these aggressive Muslims don't represent the majority of all Muslims who move here, mostly from the Middle East.

But what was the peaceful Muslim majority in Stockholm and the rest of Sweden doing while this was going on? Did they gather in a similar screaming and loud demonstration at Mynt Square in support of Swedish freedom, equality, and democracy?

No, they didn't do it, of course, for obvious reasons. This is because they also live according to the message of the Koran. All believing Muslims do. A peaceful Muslim is an ex-Muslim and nothing else. If he succeeds in surviving despite the death ban on leaving the "religion".

The Koran's theses as to us Christians and unbelieving Westerners, are not exactly benevolent and peaceful, if you will. On the contrary, we must be fought to the last drop of blood until we all submit ourselves to Allah and recognize the only true teaching. Allahu Akhbar!

But the Bible-many object. It also contains violent and warlike messages. Absolutely. It is just that there are no Christians, as far as I know, who live by those rules and start bloody wars of conquest today. You may correct me if I am mistaken.

Camila Hamid is often on TV4  baking in her tight hijab. The female program hosts chirp enthusiastically about how exciting it is, and the taste panels happily taste (her dishes). 

What nobody in the TV studio understands is that the tight-fitting hijab is clear evidence that the wearer lives strictly according to Sharia laws. Laws within the Koran that have as their steadfast goal of castigating and enslaving all women who are free, happy, and sparkling. For example, the program hosts on TV4.

The well-meaning, the naive, and the insidious are persistently honking at us that "Islamism has nothing at all to do with Islam". Certainly, absolutely. I can counter with, "The few neo-Nazis in Ludvika and Grängesberg have nothing at all to do with Hitler Nazis!"

Camila Hamid continues to bake happily on TV4, and the Swedish people continue to doze sweetly and peacefully. Secure in the assurance that, fortunately, it was only the peaceful and democratic Muslims who chose to move to Sweden.

And when the people finally wake up, it will be shown that they woke up too late.
