Sweden’s government is closing more schools owned by the country’s Muslim community in a bid to push “anti-Islamic rhetoric” and allegedly “stop privatization” in education, a move criticized for selective discrimination.
Daily Sabah Only Islamic schools have been targeted by the legislation, triggering an outcry from Muslim organizations, researchers and schools, arguing that the decision to shut down Islamic schools was not based on poor academic results or other teaching shortcomings, but rather had political anti-Islamic motives.
Mohamed Amin Kharraki, head of the independent Muslim school Framstegsskolan in the Ragsved suburb of Stockholm, told Anadolu Agency (AA) that around 20 schools that classify themselves as Islamic or those that are owned by Muslims are being closed with only three remaining, fighting a lawsuit against them.
The inspectorate’s decision to close the school was based on a report by the Swedish domestic security service (SAPO) with “claims” about the terror-linked Muslim Brotherhood group, secret agendas, and alleged terrorist labels that have left some researchers baffled.
Sead Busuladzic, a board member of the Nyan’s political party and its top official in the southernmost Skane county, told AA that the school closures were not about education, but about the political anti-Muslim climate. He pointed out how the right-wing parties that are currently in power have explicitly said they have nothing against Christian, Jewish, or other schools.
Politicians who, in his words, are normalizing anti-Islam sentiment, have only voiced problems with Islamic schools, supposed to “stop radicalization.” In doing so, they are “influencing the general opinion and how the Muslims are viewed.”
Busuladzic explained that initially, Social Democrats had driven this issue, because they are “against all private schools,” and argued that the state should run all educational institutions. In practice, however, only Islamic schools bore the brunt of even Social Democrat policies, despite their purportedly general opposition to private education.
In past elections, instead of focusing on issues such as the economy and high unemployment, politicians have fed anti-Muslim sentiment, he said, suggesting that the school closures were a reflection of this.
When the bill was first introduced by the government, it claimed that all religious schools would be affected. However, in reality, this has not been the case as no other religious schools have been shut down except Muslim schools.
These are some of the other reasons why:
Ghulam says
Ghulam condemns all the migrant rapes in Sweden. But I want to add none of this should be in the name of Islam. Sweden received ROTTEN migrants over the years, but they are incompatible with our Prophet Mo’s legacy.
Ghulam would like to humbly profess that our Prophet Muhammad salallahu alayhi wasalam was the first FEMINIST of this world.
Prophet Mo taught us Muslims to always respect and love women. The fact so many Muslims deviate from his teaching is not on him. They just can’t maintain themselves to the highest standards of Prophet Muhammad an Nabi, Habib Allah. (beloved of Allah)
Why was our Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam such a great FEMINIST.
1) He abolished the widespread practice of Female Infanticide, first among the tribes of Quraysh followed by all regions that became part of Islam in his lifetime.
Killing newborn girls was a serious problem in the Arabian peninsula. It was our Prophet who put an end to that sick practice.
2) Our Prophet was orphaned at an early age. He once remarked that, “Heaven lies at the feet of mothers.”
I feel tears well up in my eyes while I write this: our Prophet was the greatest human being that ever lived.
3) Our Prophet taught Arab society to love, be kind, and be generous to females.
He was a true champion in securing women’s rights. Whether it’s mehr money paid to a woman for her marriage, or advising Muslim men to marry widows and other rejects.
Now it might sound anachronistic today but for a 7th century world, there was none so progressive as our Prophet.
Allah u Akbar indeed.

I hope Ireland is looking at this after former PM St. Leo Varadkar put into motion the Ireland 2040 project, puportedly to “support the larger retired community with younger workers” (no mention of the 55,000 illegal alien ethnic Irish workers in Boston-NYC that could be forced to come back home) buy shoving 1,000,000 muslims onto a small island of 5,000,000 Irish. Nevermind the Irish NEVER colonized any other people and did not enslave people. It’s all the left academic media Irish luvvies who shout “Diversity is Strength” (and love having sex with violent smelly men with shorter than average greasy goat penetrators). An MP from the ruling party sided with the assassin who maimed Rushdie saying he had it comin’! If they get a foothold on the Emerald Isle, there will be FEWER tourists!! more rapes. Perhaps the libby luvvies should be forced to live in Libya or Jordan for a year to see if they still think these folks are great. There is not another Ireland to go to if the destroy this one!

Let’s hope, but I don’t have much confidence.

A very wise and courageous decision. And when one sees them burning your flag, you know you have a big problem. In a way, they are confirming that you are on the right path.

To learn from sweden is on the tablet then sweden has since the 70s a migration friendly gov. they let all come and they gave all them rights that the sweds dont have, sounds farmiliar..well that is so allover in europe and all watch sweden to see what happens when a country tries to help itself and its people. I tell all what will happen. Either the invaders go bezirk and destroy sweden or there will be a burgerwar that will spread allover europe.The second is that the eugh and nwo, ngo and more will stop them then they sighned the migrationspackts 1 and 2. This will happen at the same time were germany cant pay all of the eu bills 24.6 billion every year or the invasion 100 billion every year and its getting higher as they invade our countries, this is paired with the nice American politics that force my country to cut off all energy and recourses needed for the industry and as a result your country baits my industry to come to you after we are forced to destroy our infrastructure. Soon all will come together and then you see what socialists can do and yes they finish off the plan from 1931-1945. Soon comes the hour of power and then all cards will be reshuffelt and some lose some win just like some shine with her and some come under her wheels but no matter what she is comming for us all to enjoy.

I hope the next step will be for the Saracens to go home and live under Sharia law with no western human rights and gibs.
