Nine out of 15 mosques surveyed help men take multiple wives through religious marriages or by putting them in touch with other imams. At the same time, advice has been revealed on how women and children should be isolated from Swedes and Jews. Now, religious leaders are being asked to step down from their positions, and the government is reviewing funding for several Muslim organizations.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

SVT's Review mission<\/a><\/strong> reveals how imams and religious advisors across Sweden are helping already married men to take additional wives. Hidden-camera footage also documents advice on how to prevent women and children from associating with Swedes and Jews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revealing the methods\u2014no paper needed<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Reporters visited 15 mosques and posed as married men seeking to take another wife. Six mosques refused, while representatives at nine offered religious marriage ceremonies or put them in touch with other imams who could perform them. At the Stenhagen Mosque in Uppsala, the sheikh offers Masud Mohamad <\/strong>a marriage without documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Come here with your wife on Saturday, and we'll take care of it. No paperwork, nothing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facts: Imam & Sheikh<\/strong>
- Imam:<\/strong> Usually leads prayers at a mosque and may also provide religious guidance.
- Sheikh:<\/strong> This is a broader title often used to refer to people with religious knowledge or authority. A sheikh does not have to be an imam.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The Council: Have Children\u2014Isolate Your Wife<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The investigation also shows how religious leaders advise women to limit their interactions with people outside the Muslim community. A sheikh in Stenhagen suggests that a husband should ensure his wife has several children in quick succession, so that she does not have time to meet other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 When she marries you and has a child right away, have another one right away, one after another. If she has several children, she won\u2019t have time to socialize with others<\/em>, \", says the sheikh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Halmstad, another sheikh urges a parent to keep his son busy in order to limit his contact with Swedish and Jewish friends. The advice thus concerns not only polygamy, but also controlling family members\u2019 social contacts and limiting their ability to choose their own friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imams May Be Expelled\u2014Government Reviews Funding<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The revelations have already had consequences. The imam Bashir Ahmed<\/strong> in Uppsala has been dismissed, Masud Mohamad has resigned from the board, and an advisor in \u00d6rebro has been suspended. At the same time, The Swedish Agency for Youth and Civil Society Affairs<\/a><\/strong> (MUCF) a special review of the religious communities in question and their right to government support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 The information that has come to light is deeply troubling. Government funds should go only to organizations that meet the conditions set by the government<\/em>, says Director General Magnus J\u00e4gerskog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The agency will now investigate whether the organizations meet the democratic requirements for state grants. No decision has yet been made regarding the withdrawal of grants.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
