Swedish reader LN sent us the following email:
The letter below was published on Swedish TV evening April 27th, but not mentioned on public service radio till April 28th at 8:30am.
Please help — all you eminent anti-jihadists — publicity is needed!
This is his translation of the cover letter for Muslim demands:
Open letter to Swedish political parties participating in this year’s election
Hi,
If we are going to persuade Swedish Muslims to participate in the election in September 2006, we should accept the following claims and wishes — see below — from different muslim minorities in Sweden.
I have not seen manifest and evident signals from all parties that we should comply with such wishes. We ask that the most important claims become part of the political agenda; otherwise the risk is apparent that the majority of the Muslims on election day will remain ‘on the sofa’.
We Muslims are fed up with broken election promises and we wish for tangible proposals that show that Swedes care for us. It won’t be bad if our politically chosen or any new representatives take an hour to read our open letter that has been sent to all the established political parties.
Regards,
Mahmoud Aldebe

Last night in Little Green Footballs, Fjordman reported on these demands of the Swedish Muslims:
I have seen some aggressive writings by Muslims in Europe before, but this ranks among the worst I have ever read, anywhere. I don’t have time to translate everything, it is a list running over several pages with aggressive demands for just about everything.
They are DEMANDING separate family laws for Muslims, regulating marriage, divorce etc.
They are DEMANDING that public schools should employ imams to teach homogeneous classes of Muslims children in their religion and the language of their original homeland. (The city of Malmö already has pre-school classes where all teaching is conducted in Arabic. It’s “good for integration.”)
They are DEMANDING a “mosque in every municipality.” The mosques should be built through interest-free loans made available by the local municipalities. This to demonstrate “Islam’s right to exist in Sweden” and to “heighten the status of and respect towards Muslims.”
They are also DEMANDING separation between boys and girls in gymnastics and swimming education in schools.
They are DEMANDING new laws instating Islamic holidays as public holidays for Muslims. Swedes should also ensure that all Muslims get two hours off from work during the congregational Friday prayer every week.
They are DEMANDING that the Swedish church, in cooperation with the local municipalities, makes available an Islamic burial ground in every minucipality in the country where there are Muslims.
They are DEMANDING that Swedish authorities and Swedish media take stronger steps to combat Islamophobia in the public and in the Swedish system of education.
Readers who can translate more of the Swedish documents are welcome to do and send us the result.

It’s time to revoke citizenship from any Moslem and boot them all out. Then add a proviso that they can NEVER EVER return.
The brazenness will shock and then indignate the Swedes.
The letter merely corroporate my deep prejudice that Moslems are the biggest ingrates in the world and have a false sense of superiority.

MAY PEACE BE UPON YOUR SOULS, HEARTS, MINDS, AND BODIES…AMEN.
One concern that many (well, mostly the leftists) has in connection with these demands is that they may add to the “islamophobia”.
In other words, they are not worried about the muslems trying to install sharia, but about those who oppose them.
“…show that Swedes care for us” [OR ELSE]. Is this weird Islamic narcissism, or is it an attempt to mimic Western psychobabble?
snowpea —
It may be a peculiarity of the translation. LN’s English is very good, but he was in a hurry.
I wish I could read Swedish so I could give you an alternate version.
Snowpea, I would say it’s an attempt to mimic modern psychobabble, and also to mimic the rhetoric of political correctness. Muslims have gone far via political correctness and multi-culturalism, so why abandon a winning hand now. They won’t change tactics until political correctness and multi-culturalism have been demonstrated to be ineffective. And by then, they will have greater numbers, and will present more of a menace. Which is the card they will use predominantly then.
Sara is right though to direct us to prayer. We have to implore the Almighty for courage and clarity. Times are becoming grim indeed. The suppression of discussion takes a heavy toll on the ability of those like Fjordman to alert his countrymen, and fellow Europeans.
Perhaps Fjordman will write a post informing us of the growth of European political blogs. And whether those blogs are advancing the argument.
I can attest to the fact that Moslem always adapt their words to the ‘our’ vulnerabilities. If the Swedish politicians and journalists are worried about ‘lack of integration’ and ‘islamophobia’, then that’s what the Moslems say will be better with more Mosques, and so on.
These particular demands happened to be met with resistance from the politicians, but there was no way to know that in beforehand, given the politicians earlier actions in various issues. During the time of the Danish cartoons, our foreign minister were trying to calm the Swedish public by saying that she was explaining to the nations with the rioters that it was Denmark and not Sweden that had published the cartoons. Swedish politicians are worthless cowards. They collaborated with the nazists during WW2, and there is no doubt whatsoever that they will collaborate with the Moslems in case of war. In the name of peace of neutrality.
Now I’m getting depressed again.
All Things Beautiful TrackBack State Sanctioned Dhimmitude In Europe:
“Baron @ Gates of Vienna has an incredible story pointing to a public demand by the Sweedish Muslims which will no doubt result in some more groveling by the Swedish politicians, the likes of which we have seen during the Muhammad cartoon saga.”
Give them an inch and they will demand a mile…
Go Denmark! Help Sweden! March on Brussels 9.11.07 por favor, merci!
absurd tanken –
Gud om Universum veta
Iran aldrig nuke Europa
om de svära till Stilla eller
omfamna full dhimmi liv
absurd thought –
God of the Universe knows
Iran never nuke Europe
if they swear to Allah
or embrace full dhimmi life
