Ebba Busch is stepping up the fight against Islamism and parallel societies in Sweden. During a press conference in Karlstad, Sweden, the KD leader presented new proposals to criminalize Sharia courts, stop foreign funding and task the Swedish Security Service (Säpo) with mapping Islamist networks. At the same time, she warned that extremist movements are gradually advancing their positions in Swedish schools, associations and religious communities.
Leader of the Christian Democrats Ebba Busch presented a new action plan against Islamism, extremism and parallel societies on Friday. During a press conference In Karlstad, she proposed, among other things, the criminalization of Sharia courts, a ban on foreign funding of mosque construction and tougher measures against organizations with extremist links.
According to Busch, the background to the press conference was developments in several Swedish cities where mosque projects and associations have been linked to foreign actors and Islamist networks. She mentioned Karlstad, Linköping and Skärholmen, among others.
- The pattern is the same. Foreign regimes and Islamist movements buying their way into Swedish society and spreading their poison, Busch said during the press conference.
At the same time, she emphasized that the criticism is directed at Islamism as a political movement and not at Muslims in general.
- Islam is a faith practiced freely by millions of people. Islamism is a distinct political movement that wants to replace democracy with religious submission, she said.
Wants to give Säpo a new mission
A central part of the proposal is that the Swedish Security Service and the Center against Violent Extremism will be tasked with mapping the financing, networks and influence of Islamism in Sweden. According to KD, this should include religious organizations, schools and associations.
Busch also referred to honor-related violence and oppression of women as the motive behind several of the proposals. She referred to the murder of a 22-year-old woman in Småland in 2024, where the father was sentenced to life imprisonment and the brother to 16 years in prison for honor killings.
In a simultaneous published In a debate article in Svenska Dagbladet, Busch writes that the party wants to criminalize Sharia courts and stop public funding to organizations that promote extremism.
KD also proposes a ban on the burqa and niqab in public places and a veil ban in preschools and primary schools. According to Busch, this is about defending fundamental rights and freedoms and counteracting parallel norm systems in Sweden.
It would be wise of Busch if she also criticized the Zionist power that gave us these problems, but of course you do not bite the hand that feeds you.
