Wear a Headscarf or Be Raped, Swedish Women Warned, by
Donna Edmunds, 7/14/16
Stickers calling for democracy
to be replaced with Islam and for women who do not wear a veil to be raped have
appeared in public places in Sweden. They have been reported to the police.
Pictures of the stickers, which have been stuck to objects on streets in
Nybro, Småland, have been circulating on social media.
The stickers reads, in English: “Women who don’t wear a headscarf are
asking to be raped.” Another reads: “No democracy. We just want Islam,” Fria
Tider has reported.
The stickers have
been reported to the police who are currently investigating who placed them
there, but admitted that at the moment they do not know who is behind them.
The appearance of
the stickers comes just weeks after a number of stickers appeared in nearby Emmaboda bearing the message “Multiculturalism
is bad for your children and your grandchildren.” However, those
stickers were emblazoned with ‘Nordfront’, the Swedish branch of the
Nordic Resistance Movement, a national socialist movement. They were also
stylised, made to look like the health warnings carried on cigarette packets.
But unlike the
Nordfront stickers, the Islamist stickers feature plain white text on
a plain dark grey background with no logo or marking to indicate who placed
them. Consequently, while some people have argued that they were placed by
newly arrived asylum seekers with an agenda to promote Islam in Sweden, others
have argued that they could be the work of Swedes seeking to “incite hatred”
against the immigrants.
In that respect,
the controversy closely resembles a recent case in which
leaflets were posted through letterboxes in Manchester, England, calling on
British people not to walk their dogs in public in order for the area to be
kept “pure” for Muslims.
“As citizens of a
multicultural nation, those who live in the UK must learn to understand and
respect the legacy and lifestyle of the Muslims who live alongside them,” the
leaflets read.
They were
distributed by a group called Public Purity, who stated on their website their
intention to have all dogs removed from the public sphere in Britain to keep
Muslims pure. “If dogs are not permitted to be present in public, Muslims could
live their lives with a burden lifted from their shoulders and without having
to fear being tainted with no fault of their own,” the group argued.
But it was unclear
who was behind the campaign, leading to disagreement online over whether it was
the work of Islamic fundamentalists or British nationalists as a false flag
operation.
