Hat tip Gates of Vienna, Vlad Tepes and Kronanse Martell for translation.
Margot Wallström is Sweden's deputy prime minister and foreign minister. Her political career has been marked by a long history of condemnations of Israel and siding with the Palestinians.
She recently took to the floor of the Swedish Parliament to assert her admiration of Islam. The video we are showing is an excerpt, and we don't have the full context of why she felt it was necessary to address the issue. She refers to reports going around about comments she or someone else may have made about Islam. In this video she says that Sweden has the greatest respect for Islam and its contributions to society.
Also included in this video is a scene from a protest march held in Stockholm in December 2017 against Israel. In this march, Muslims can be seen chanting that infamous ditty, "Khaybar Khaybar, o Yahud", a reference to a battle where Mohammad's army wiped out the Jews of Khaybar. They also chant, "Long live Margot Wallström!"
I don't think Margot Wallström has to worry about her standing with the Islamic world.
