SWEDEN’s Islam Party Nuance (Nyans) organizes symbolic hanging of Jimmie Åkesson (Right-wing Sweden Democrats leader) doll

After Nyans party leader Mikail Yüksel became very upset and offended by Rasmus Paludan’s quran burning outside the Turkish embassy in Stockholm recently, he is now planning his own demonstration.

Samnytt (h/t Marvin W) In addition to the burning of the Koran, the Turkish president Erdogan, whom Yüksel supports, has also been offended that PKK activists hung a doll representing him at the city hall in Stockholm.

Mikail Yüksel is now taking this idea into account when he plans a “Manifestation against quran burnings” later in February in Stockholm.

One who commented on the demonstration is Richard Jomshof (SD):

Sweden is a fantastic country. Our freedom of opinion and speech also allows Islamists like @MikailYuksel_ to express themselves freely. That freedom is worth defending. How do you think it would have gone if we had done something similar in Turkey?

When the Nyansledaren recently referred to the burning of the Swedish flag in various Muslim countries to cause Swedes to be offended, and asked if it is freedom of expression, it became an own goal like no other and the unison answer was yes – no one considered that it is something that should be prohibited.

Yüksel is also said to have participated in state Turkish propaganda television about the situation in Sweden.

According to the election authority’s final results report, it looks like Nyans will enter the Landskrona and Botkyrka municipal councils. However, the party’s ambitions were considerably higher.

In many places, Nyans has taken votes from above all the Social Democrats and according to mathematics professor Svante Linusson, the party’s almost 30,000 votes may have secured the victory for the blue-yellow bloc.

With 2.53 and 2.44 percent of the votes, respectively, the party takes seats in the Botkyrkas and Landskrona municipal councils. In municipalities that are constituencies, the limit is two percent. It’s just gratifying, it was also expected, says Nyan’s party leader Mikail Yüksel to Expressen .

He believes that it is issues such as LVU, the quran burnings and integration that led to the successes.

State television has interviewed voters in one of the Muslim party Nyan’s strongest strongholds in Gothenburg. A Muslim woman says that many people vote for Nyans because the other parties “have many Swedish speakers”.  The Nyans party has people who speak Turkish, Arabic and Somali.

The party had also hoped to enter Malmö’s municipal council. There we are missing 0.07 (percent) right now and there are nine districts left to count. And they count invalid votes too so there is still a chance. But if we don’t get in, we will appeal in Malmö, says Mikail Yüksel. 

In 30 electoral districts in Gothenburg, which are characterized by a high percentage of residents with a foreign background, the party received over ten percent. In the electoral district Svarte mosse, every fourth voter votes for Nyans.

The Nyan’s party classifies criticism of Islam as “racism” and promises that quran burners will be jailed.

The party also wants to see a review of the LVU that governs the care of children. Alongside these questions, there is an appreciation that the party communicates in Turkish, Arabic and Somali.

As leader of the right wing Sweden Democrats, Jimmie Akesson (below) has steered his party from “pariah” to heavyweight whose support was indispensable  the right-wing bloc winning in the recent election. The anti-immigration Sweden Democrats soared to become the country’s second-biggest party in the legislative vote, garnering 20.6 percent with more than 99 percent of electoral districts counted.
