Moslem intrigues in Sweden

J.S., you noticed :

"I hear that the third largest city in Sweden is now 40 percent Muslim...

I can tell you one thing that happened in Malmö before the Swedish election on 17.09. I have the impression that it is indicative of trends across the West , namely how Muslim political groups through their members living in Europe (will) influence and manipulate political systems abroad and import there conflicts raging in their homelands.

Goran Rahbi is a fairly well-known (shi'ite) politician in Malmö. He is a member of "Folkpartiet" - a party which heavily relies on Moslems and other minority groups. But in his campaign to get elected to the district as well as province office and the parliament in September Rahbi acquired support of a more mighty ally than just folkpartiet, an ally outside Sweden. It was the Grand Ayatollah of Iraq Bashir an-Najafi who in a letter called upon the Swedish shi'ites to vote for Rahbi.

To make sure that this powerful election ally was on his side Rahbi had arranged a meeting with the representative of the Grand Ayatollah for Scandinavia imam Nabil Shakir Al-Taliqani from Copenhagen. They met in a mosque in Rosengård , the south eastern quarter of Malmö with a large Moslem population. The imam promised help for this "reliable person who is able to defend Muslim interests and promote peaceful positive Islam abroad". This help soon materialized in form of an election leaflet which Rahbi distributed freely in Rosengård causing thus a minor scandal in Swedish media.

As everywhere else "politically correct" major Swedish media prefer scandals where either Muslims are not involved at all or they can be represented as mere "victims". Muslim intrigues disturb the idyll of "peaceful and positive Islam" promoted there by persons like Rahbi.

Personally , I wonder how long will it take Sweden to have its first ayatollah-elected member of parliament ? In any case I have no doubt that France will get him earlier.
