The parties in the coalition want to scrutinize Islamist networks. The government is now launching a new inquiry to map political Islam and Islamism in Sweden—and to examine how the movement affects democracy, government agencies, and civil society.
The government is launching an inquiry into the threat posed by political Islam and Islamism to Swedish democracy. The announcement comes in a joint op-ed in Aftonbladet from the Minister of Education and Integration Simona Mohamsson (L), Kristina Axén Olin (M), Richard Jomshof (SD) and Hans Eklind (KD).
According to the panelists, the problem is not limited to extremists who advocate violence. They argue that Islamist actors can also operate through associations, educational organizations, schools, and other organizations with the aim of influencing society in a religious direction.
”That is why the government is now launching an inquiry into the threat posed by political Islam and Islamism to Swedish democracy.”, the four representatives write.
Will assess infiltration and impact
According to the government, the inquiry is to assess the prevalence of political Islam in Sweden and analyze the consequences of Islamist infiltration and undue influence on societal institutions.
As an example, the commentators cite the so-called LVU campaign, in which allegations about Swedish authorities were spread internationally. They also point to organizations with ties to anti-democratic circles and Islamist opinion leaders who have called for a boycott of democratic elections.
Aims to combat parallel societies
According to the Tidö parties, the inquiry is ultimately about defending the principle of a shared society where the same laws apply to everyone.
”Politicians must never allow parallel societies to be created in our country or for Swedish law to be set aside in certain areas or for certain groups,”, the politicians write.
The investigation will now provide a comprehensive overview of the extent and influence of Islamism in Sweden.
This should have been done 30 years ago.
And now we have to lock up every single Social Democrat who has signed an agreement with the terrorist sect. They knew what they were doing back then, in the early ’90s.
Good initiative. ”Better late than never?”.
Infiltration of government agencies and organizations, as well as the creation of parallel societies, is already a reality. These are called “no-go zones.” Equality before the law—Swedish law—appears to exist only on paper.
One might ask: How long is that investigation allowed to take?
”launches an investigation”
Let me have a good laugh.
The Time Party is going to lose BIG in this fall's election, and this will never happen under a Red-Green government—and they know it.
Just election-year pork to try to persuade the masses to give them their votes again.
Well, they could start by getting rid of the liberal party leader
Agreed!
It's good that they're looking into this, but it wouldn't have hurt if they had also looked into who is causing this immigration and done something about them.
Of course, this should have been done a long time ago. Sameh Egyptson has written an excellent doctoral dissertation on the subject. There are many others who have provided convincing evidence of an undesirable infiltration in which the Muslim Brotherhood has exploited our naivety, by posing as religious organizations eligible for government funding, even though their primary purpose is and has always been political—namely, to turn Sweden into a caliphate in the long term. That our women do not react when the Social Democrats (S) entered into agreements with such organizations as early as the 1990s to attract new voters among new arrivals and secure their votes long before they can speak Swedish or become self-sufficient
There’s no need to spread Islam—let it take over our country!
