SHARIA SWEDEN: Nearly a Third of Swedes Want to Ban Protests That Violate Islamic Law After Qur’an Riots

Almost a third of Swedes say they are for banning demonstrations that are offensive to sections of the community (Muslims) following multi-day riots over Easter sparked by a now canceled Quran burning demo. protest. Spineless. The antidote to bad speech is MORE speech. Not bans on speech, protests or books. This is a complete capitulation to violent intimidation. Rewarding terror.

We have fundamental freedoms in the West and we should never abridge over freedoms in submission to violent intimidation. More accommodation gives way to more demands, more submission.

Muslims are the only immigrant group who come to the West with a ready made model of society they believe to be superior to Western law and they work furiously, by all means, to impose it. Under Islam, shariah (Islamic) law supersedes Western law. Anywhere Western law and Shariah law conflict, it is Western law that must give way. What those of us working in defense of freedom did not expect, was the craven capitulation and cowardice by Western left elites to Islamic supremacy.

Freedom of speech is the foundation of a free society. Without it, a tyrant can wreak havoc unopposed, while his opponents are silenced. Putting up with being offended is essential in a pluralistic society in which people differ on basic truths.

If a group will not bear being offended without resorting to violence, that group will rule unopposed while everyone else lives in fear, while other groups curtail their activities to appease the violent group. This results in the violent group being able to tyrannize the others. We see this happening in Europe, the US and everywhere Muslims emigrate.

Nearly a Third of Swedes Want to Ban ‘Offensive’ Protests After Qur’an Riots

By:Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, April 30, 2022:

Almost a third of Swedes say they are for banning political demonstrations that are offensive to sections of the community following multi-day riots over Easter sparked by anti-Islam protesters burning copies of the Qur’an.

A total of 28 per cent of Swedes say they would support a ban on offensive political demonstrations, with the number rising to around 40 per cent among supporters of the ruling Social Democrats and the Greens.

While 55 per cent say they would not support such a ban the result surprised Torbjörn Sjöström, CEO of the polling firm Novus, who carried out the survey.

“In fact, there are a shocking many who want to restrict freedom of demonstration,” Sjöström told broadcaster SVT.

“This is probably very much a reaction to the fact that there has not been any talk about the complexity of demonstration and freedom of expression in a democracy properly. Instead, you focus on feelings where you may relate more to not offending anyone than the right to speak out,” Sjöström added…….
