Sweden: Muslim woman in hijab with ties to jihadist mosque chosen for municipality’s welcome sign
“A Swedish municipality is facing backlash after selecting a local Muslim woman wearing a headscarf to be the ‘poster girl’ for its roadside ‘welcome’ sign. Her past ties to a controversial local imam were also discovered.”
The intent of featuring the hijabi “poster girl” is to flaunt diversity, no matter what that diversity represents. In this case, “diversity” is represented by Suzan Hindi — who once went by the name Nizam Hindi — wearing a hijab. She has ties to a jihad-preaching mosque. Hindi once “explained how having their own prayer house was good for the Swedish municipality’s Muslim community, how aid from Saudi Arabia and Qatar helped to buy and furnish the building, and how listening to the imam is important during the prayer.”
Would Gävle put up a billboard featuring a Christian holding a cross? Or a Jew wearing a kippah?
Only days ago, Swedish Swimming Federation chairwoman Ulla Gustavsson resigned from her job because of the fallout she suffered after voicing accurately that the veil was a “symbol of repression.”
Sweden is a mess, with no-go zones and sharia patrols. Sweden Democrats party secretary Richard Jomshof “compared the situation in Western Europe in general and Sweden in particular with the late Roman Empire in decline,” and expressed the need for “drastic measures to prevent the continent from falling prey to degeneration and Islamization.” Last year, Swedish Education Minister Gustav Fridolin told the “Hungarian government and ruling Fidesz party to stop using Sweden as an example of failed mass migration policies,” yet it continues to implement the same policies that are rapidly turning it into a failed state.
One must also remember the laughing stock that Sweden’s “first feminist government” made of itself when its members made their walk of shame before Iranian President Rouhani, “wearing Hijabs, Chadors, and long coats.”
“Rage and puzzlement over Muslim woman in hijab chosen for Swedish municipality’s welcome sign,” RT News, February 25, 2019:
A Swedish municipality is facing backlash after selecting a local Muslim woman wearing a headscarf to be the ‘poster girl’ for its roadside ‘welcome’ sign. Her past ties to a controversial local imam were also discovered.The image of Suzan Hindi, a local Muslim woman in her early 40s wearing a blue headscarf, now welcomes motorists entering Gavle, a coastal municipality in Sweden about 100km north of Stockholm. The photo is occasionally shown on a digital board along with the message: “Welcome to Gavle!”The municipality said it was a gesture celebrating the diversity of its community, which counts over 100,000 people of various origins and cultures. But some saw it as a signal of support for suppressing women’s freedoms.“One should think what this is signaling. Some indeed use this garment, the hijab, voluntarily. But not everyone. This a garment that for millions of women around the world represents a lack of freedom,” said Sweden Democrats MP Roger Hedlund, a member of the municipality council, as quoted by the news website Nyheter Idag.The Sweden Democrats party has an anti-immigration platform and currently holds 62 seats in the 349-seat Swedish parliament. Samhallsnytt, an online publication reportedly close to the party, was quick to dig Hindi’s past ties to a controversial local imam, who was accused of preaching radical ideas and collecting money for terrorists in Iraq and Syria.Indeed, in 2009 the woman, who called herself Nizam Hindi at the time, was featured in a story by the left-leaning tabloid Arbetarbladet about the opening of a mosque in Gavle. She explained how having their own prayer house was good for the Swedish municipality’s Muslim community, how aid from Saudi Arabia and Qatar helped to buy and furnish the building, and how listening to the imam is important during the prayer.The Al-rashideen mosque and its imam, Abu Raad, were involved in a scandal a few years ago, after the leading local newspaper Gefle Dagblad accused him of spreading radical Salafist ideas and collecting money for terrorist groups in Syria and Iraq….
