Sweden Democrat Lars Nyström is correct: “If you accept that women have to cover their faces, what are you going to accept tomorrow? Do you also intend to accept polygamy, child marriage et cetera?”
But as everyone knows, it’s racist for European and North American countries to try to preserve their own heritage, culture, and values. For everyone else, it’s righteous.
“Sweden: Islamic dress code protected under law / Muslim veil ban illegal,” Ahlul Bayt News Agency, November 16, 2020:
AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The Skurup municipality, whose clothing policy specifically prohibits Islamic headwear at preschools and primary schools, has found itself on a collision course with the Discrimination Ombudsman.
The Swedish Discrimination Ombudsman (DO) has weighed in on the debate involving the acceptance of religious headdresses in public places.
In ruling that the Skurup municipality’s ban on “the headscarf, burqa, niqab, and other clothing intended to hide students and staff” is incompatible with the Discrimination act, the ombudsman confirmed that the Islamic dress code is thus protected under the law.
“When the inspection is now completed, the DO makes the assessment that even though the policy, according to its wording, affects all clothing that hides students and staff in the municipality’s preschools and primary schools, the purpose is precisely to ban religious clothing. This means that the application of the policy in relation to people bearing such garments will be related to their religion or beliefs”, the ombudsman’s office said in a press release.
Deputy discrimination ombudsman Martin Mörk emphasised that “with the exception of situations where such clothing affects a student’s or employee’s objective conditions to carry out an educational element or a task the ban constitutes direct discrimination related to religion and other beliefs”….
“If you accept that women have to cover their faces, what are you going to accept tomorrow? Do you also intend to accept polygamy, child marriage et cetera?”, Sweden Democrat Lars Nyström wondered during the debate….

Tomorrow it won’t matter whether you accept something or not. You will do as you are told or else. Yep, that’s progress.

The Swedish Leftists forget that a number of Muslim countries have banned the face mask as well.
The Islamic scarf is the world’s ultimate symbol of misogyny. How does misogyny fit with Leftism?
It doesn’t.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Oh misogyny fits leftism, right down to big central control gubmint and false victims who are to be used.

Can you always dig a hole deeper? Isn’t there a rock bottom somewhere? Sweden will let us find out.

Of course, Attaturk banned many Muslim practices in order to Westernize Turkey. But some ofI this is being bought back by the fundamentalists. The sort of clothing involved is a custom for many muslim peoples, even though it is not explicitly required by holy scriptures. But customs become part of a religion even without sriptural endorsement. The leftists use endorsement of non-Christian values as part of the cultural Marxist assault on the West, they do not care what some countries do or do not do.

The burqas, niqabs and whatever else are the tips of the sharp elbows.
Westman says
Islamic face and body coverings on women are but the trappings of ownership by some male and, similar to the bright colours of a tree frog, a warning to unbelievers of enforced poison toxicity.
The US womens movements ignore this fact because it isn’t useful or safe. For European women, in say, France, the reality of Islam’s intent for them is becoming noticeable and the night has lost its safety.

Actually, the discrimination here is being committed by the Muslims. They want to set themselves apart from non-Muslims …. because they think not only that their god is better but that they are too.

What a joke.

Reply to CES … The women owned by a Muslim male are his personal property and another Muslim must not touch them. IT’S ABOUT MONEY.
Even the slave of another Muslim must not be raped or the rapist is charged a fee for lowering the value of the slave girl.
Ultimately, the purpose of the veil is to delineate which women are rapable. K.33.59 says that women who are veiled are ‘IDENTIFIED’ (as belonging to a Muslim male) and that women who are NOT veiled may be ‘molested’, a euphemism for rape.
Raping a Muslim woman is a loss of her financial value and a loss of ‘honor’ to the family.
It has nothing to do with the feelings of the abused woman.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, and it’s a way for them to see more clearly the women who in their eyes are “filthy.”
tim gallagher says
That’s the way I see it too, CogitoErgoSum. Well, the covering up of women is, of course, part of the endless load of totally barbaric shit that islam, this 7th century Arab throwback of an ideology believes in, but I always think that the Muslims are getting around wearing their Muslim uniform (the head rags, etc) to show us that they definitely are not part of our infidel societies and are never going to be. I find every aspect of Islam unacceptable ( the child brides, the head coverings, the entrenched hatred of non-Muslims, and all the other Islamic crap) and Islam simply should not be allowed in any non-Muslim, modern society. Islam has nothing but barbaric, outdated garbage to bring to any society.

tim gallagher says
Thanks for the +1, gravenimage. To my mind, Islam is barbaric and wrong, and you’d have to say evil, in its totally outdated attitudes to every aspect of human life, so that’s why my attitude is the keep this primitive, inhuman load of garbage out of all non-Muslim countries. As I have mentioned, I have met occasional Muslims who seemed OK, though I didn’t know them very well and I definitely distrust them, but I guess they must have been amongst the Muslims who don’t really follow the ideology closely, but, in general, I think islam is an evil that, logically and sensibly, should be shut out. I can’t see anything good it brings and non-Muslim societies would not miss having Muslims at all. Islam is a type of diversity we can do without. To me, islam just seems like some revolting left over from barbaric times. It should have disappeared long ago, but here it is still fouling up the modern world.

Sweden: Discrimination Ombudsman rules that municipality’s ban on hijab, burqa, and niqab is illegal
Sweden Democrat Lars Nyström is correct: “If you accept that women have to cover their faces, what are you going to accept tomorrow? Do you also intend to accept polygamy, child marriage et cetera?”
………………….
Kudos to Lars Nyström for at least asking these key questions.

Sweden is lost because of leftist governments and the etnic Swedes will be annihilated. There is only one party which is really democratic – Sweden Democrats.
Belgien and Netherlands are two other countries that are in danger.
Sweden took (in spite of “closed borders”) 75.000 muslims in October and it will be at least 80.000 in the end of November.
Sweden has probably the first political party that have a pure muslim party “Nyansen” and they will be now able to vote in the municipalities, Counties and in Parliament. They demand at least 5 muslims in Parliament, 10 in counties and more (20 but I am not sure it can be more) in the municipalities.
And all this can happen in the US IF mentally feeble Biden and the pro muslim Harris will win elections in the US
Crusades Were Right says
Every day – more or less – as I walk through the streets, I pass women who wear Islamic garb. Unlike other folk I pass, they NEVER say “Hello” or “Good morning”, or whatever. Instead they ALWAYS fix their eyes on the ground as they pass me. I remember that when the Ayatollah Khomeini was returning to Iran in 1979 from his exile in France, he too fixed his eyes on the ground as he made his way to his plane. The news commentator informed us this was because he considered the very sight of “infidel” France to be offensive to him.
Yes, “diversity” is our greatest strength indeed! lol

If they rule to allow the wearing of hijab, my advice to the parents of non-Muslim students would be to have your kid show up next day decked out in as many Christian, Jewish, Hindu and other religious symbols and garb as you can lay hands on. What is good for the Sharia goose is good for every other gander in the building.
livepeanuts says
In the UK if you conceal your identity with a balaclava if you are Christia it would be illegal but it is OK for Moslems
OLD GUY says
Idiots who support open borders are just asking for major problems with the islamic crazies. The more you try to appease them the futher they will bush their demands for sharia law.
Try to change an islamic countries laws or rules when it comes to the Christian religion, bible or customs. NOT a chance in HELL that they will accommodate or even allow you to bring a christian bible into their country.
So why are we kissing their evil asses?
James says
These leftists are following the cultural Marxist formula for destroying non-communist societies by undermining their value system. The Muslim costumes are just the foot in the door to creating a parallel society or simply transforming the whole society into a Muslim theocracy. Clothes make the man or woman. and that is the whole point of it, separating people from the mass. so that by looking different they feel they are different. I would not allow it.
Kathleen Quinlan says
Gee, so white lives matter, Christian lives matter and United States lives matter. Keep reading Spencer. Did you see that Geller after 12 years won the law suit against the city bus company in NYC that said she cannot post ads offering to help those who leave Islam. There is a victory!
