Pathetic: 91-Year-Old Swede Convicted for ‘Hate Speech’ Critical of Islam

55

Sick. Sharia law in Sweden. You think they’ll give him hard labor? He’s hardly the first. Last month, a Swedish court convicted a 70-year-old man of “hate speech” for claiming on social media that Somalis are lazy and don’t work. It certainly won’t be the last. Sweden is expected to receive another 7.5 million Swedish Kronor (£618,375/$807,150) from the European Union this year to go towards hate crime projects.

91-Year-Old Swede Convicted for Anti-Islam Hate Speech

A 91-year-old Swedish man has been convicted of hate speech in the municipality of Bromölla after making disparaging comments about Islam and Muslims online.

Breitbart, March 31, 2019:

The man, who may be one of the oldest Swedes on record to be convicted of hate speech, posted a number of comments in a Facebook group containing around 12,000 people in which he disparaged Muslims, Lokaltidningen reports.

Among the posts written included one in which the elderly man said, referring to Muslims, “You cannot, with the best will in the world, call these beings people. They seem to be inbred as they carry on.”

BreitbarThe Kristianstad district court convicted the man of hatred against an identifiable ethnic group, noting that the post reached a potential audience of 12,000 and had been up for nearly a year.

“The messages have content that is clearly abusive to Muslims and it, therefore, expresses such inaccuracy as is required to be held liable for the crimes against ethnic groups,” the court said.

While the normal penalty for the crime could include two months in prison, the 91-year-old was given a conditional sentence along with a 6,500 Swedish kronor (£535/$700) fine.

The case is just the latest to involve a Swedish pensioner convicted for hate speech made online. In 2017, a man in his 70s was convicted in Gothenburg for a similar post in which he referred to Muslims as “monkeys” on Facebook.

Earlier this year another pensioner, this time in Uddevalla, was convicted and fined 7,200 Swedish Kronor (£593/$775) for a Facebook post in which the 70-year-old claimed that Somali migrants were lazy and refused to work.

In the last several years, Sweden has seen a surge in reported hate speech crimes, with the social justice group Näthatsgranskaren taking credit last year for the increase, saying that they had made at least 800 reports to police in a single year.

The group also admitted that the average demographic of those they had reported tended to be older women over the age of 65.

Sweden is also expected to receive another 7.5 million Swedish Kronor (£618,375/$807,150) from the European Union this year to go towards hate crime projects.

The Swedes forsaken the God who made the evangelist Leif Ericson’s – They chose to forsake the God of Abraham Isaak Jacob David & John the Baptist who paved the way for Yehshua – other words they became haters of God’s chosen ones.
True Christian’s can not be antisemitic – It wasn’t the Rothshields etc who brought the Jewish people back to there homeland it was the Lord – I won’t go into of the whys of their unbelief’s but either way, it’s clear that it was God – Not the flitting Free Masonry’s god But, the God Almighty whose Word became flesh – Folk’s, we’re living in humongous Biblical times – As Jan Markel (OliveTreeViews) would say; “things aren’t falling apart, they’re falling together” like the grand puzzle – Only the One True God could inspire (God breathed Scripture) the prophets w/a 100 percent ‘spot on’ record – We are ‘That’ generation and everything is moving at warp speed, while the Isaiah 17:1/Obidiah campaign is at the door the Ezekiel 38 & 39 will soon follow!

PRAY, Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, yes, pray for Israel too.

To put it another way, if what he said was just B.S. racism … it would be okay.

Especially if he was disparaging Euro-trash, whites, Christians, men, normal people, or Ge w s… no problem.

But he posts the truth and all he11 comes loose and ..

Sweden is finished!

Sweden, Population 10.2 Million, Offers Asylum to China’s over 10 Million Uyhgur Muslims
3/20/2019
By Chris Tomlinson

The Swedish government will be opening the doors to China’s persecuted Uyghur Muslims and allow them to claim asylum in the country.

The move could have real consequences for Sweden, a country of 10.2 million people by 2018 estimates, due to the fact that the Uyghur population in China is estimated to be up to 11 million people, according to Chinese state statistics.

Over the last year, the Chinese government has severely cracked down on Uyghur Muslims in its western Xinjiang region where up to a million people are believed to have been detained and sent to “re-education” camps across the region.

In 2015, Sweden took in only a fraction of a million people, around 163,000 asylum claims, which amounted to a cost of around 600 billion Swedish kronor (£48.3 billion), or 14 times the annual defense budget.

The costs of the recent migrants have put a strain on some municipalities forcing many to consider raising taxes in order to pay for social services and for the national government to even look into raising the retirement age to help cover new costs.

The costs of housing, integration, and teaching new migrants Swedish, for those who actually attend the classes, is also complimented by the much higher unemployment rate among migrants than native Swedes.

Sweden Hands Out over 132,000 Residency Permits in 2018

Hate speech supposedly ONLY applies to racist hate. islam is an ideology so IF I post that I hate nazis and communists do they see that as hate speech? In addition, everyday muslim death threats to Jews and Christians seem perfectly okay so if islam is regarded as a religion then why can anyone NOT criticize islam or muslims? The logic(???) here is incedible. I personally see islam as a plague and ALL muslims as vermin fit only for removal I guess that is now hate speech even if it is true.

Look, is there any way to bring a case before the international court arguing that “hate crimes” and “hate speech” violate international laws protecting freedom of expression — not to mention freedom of thought! — because they measure crimes according to the *content of the perpetrator’s and/or the victim’s mind* rather than by any objective standard? If these abominable laws can be struck down in an international court, the US can happily follow suit (even if no other country has the guts to).

As Islam expands, the Free World shrinks.
If expressing an opinion about a particular ethnic group of people is a “crime”…then why no prosecutions for all the “hate speech” against white people of European origin?
The Koran is not only the mother of all HATE SPEECH but promotes violence against ethnic and religious groups.
Islam gets a “pass” simply because it is anti-West, anti-Christian and anti-Jew and a reliable ally for the Globalist Marxist self-hating white people who want to destroy Western Civilization to gain power.
Leftist-Islamic axis of evil is the greatest enemy of Judeo-Christian Western Civilization.
