Prime Minister of Sweden, Stefan Löfven: Please consider changing offensive national flag

I think this one might be fake news.

Here is it from Avaaz.org, a petition site:

Why this is important 

The Swedish flag is a constant reminder of our dark and oppressive past. Refugees and migrants are forced to live under its Christian Cross; a symbol of the Crusades and the slaughter of millions of innocent Islamic lives in Sweden's past that makes them feel unwelcome and unsafe. 

Sweden should be a safe space for everyone. 

The rise of Extremist Far‐Right movements, emboldened by the flag of Christianity and 'whiteness', only further necessitates this change. 

As our outdated national symbol gradually becomes the banner of Xenophobic and racist extremist groups, we must think into the future. A future of peace, understanding and tolerance. 

Our proposition is, to show our unity with the religion of peace and to make our home a home and a safe environment for all, that we replace our symbol of an oppressive past with the Holy symbol of Islam. 

No longer would far‐right extremists feel that their country caters to their extreme and genocidal ideologies. 

The cross is only representative of Christians while the moon not only represents our solidarity with Islam but is also a part of nature. 

The moon and stars represent a universal culture of beauty and resistance to fascism and intolerance. 

It is time for Sweden to become an international country, a beacon of tolerance and understanding.

At Reddit, there is indication this was a Psy-Op by some Internet trolls (click on image to enlarge):

Was it a Hate Crime? Muslim Pedophiles Preyed on Native English Girls, Prime Minister Brands it ‘abuse on an industrial scale’

What Do They Have In Common?

Was it a hate crime? Fears gangs of Asian paedophiles who preyed on hundreds of vulnerable white girls were racially motivated as PM brands it ‘abuse on an industrial scale’ 

A total of 373 girls suffered sexual abuse in Oxfordshire, a report into ‘indescribably awful’ child sexual exploitation has found – and now fears have been raised that the abuse may have been racially motivated.

Over 15 years hundreds of victims as young as 11 were groomed, raped and forced into prostitution by gangs of men ‘predominantly of Pakistani heritage’, a serious case review has found.

The damning 114-page report said victims were in a ‘living hell from which they couldn’t extricate themselves’ after ‘hostile’ officials wrote some off as ‘difficult girls making bad choices’ when they begged for help.

Reminds me of this:

Egyptian PM Hints At Violence If America Doesn’t Enforce Blasphemy Laws

From the Daily Caller:

Arab governments are stepping up their demands for regulation of American media to ensure Islam gets more favorable coverage in the United States, while President Barack Obama used his weekend message to again condemn criticism of Islam and to reassure Americans worried war in the Arab region. 

Egypt’s Prime Minister Hisham Qandil said Sept. 15 that he expected changes in U.S. law and media practice following the release of a 14-minute anti-Islam YouTube video and a week of ongoing unrest in the Middle East. 

The violence has included numerous protests, riots and deadly attacks on U.S. and European facilities since Sept. 11, all of which have damaged Obama’s election-trail claims to foreign policy success. 

The United States should “take the necessary measures to ensure insulting billions of people – one and a half billion people – and their beliefs does not happen, and people pay for what they do, and at the same time make sure that the reflections of the true Egyptian and Muslims is well [represented] in Western media,” Qandil added, according to the the English-language site of Egypt’s main newspaper, Al Ahram. 

But Qandil’s statement also hinted at more violence if the Islamists’ demands were not met.“I think we need to work out something around this because we cannot wait and see this happen again,” Qandil said. 

Dearborn Imam Calls On American Government To Enforce Sharia Blasphemy Laws…

As anger flared across the Muslim world Friday over an anti-Islam video from the U.S., the religious leader of Michigan’s largest mosque slammed Islamic extremists for attacking U.S. embassies and urged Muslims not to react violently to attacks on their prophet.

And he urged the U.S. to do more to stop the people behind the video and those who are promoting it.

“Somehow, they should be stopped,” said Imam Hassan Al-Qazwini of the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn. “The U.S. response should be much more stronger than verbal condemnation.”

Al-Qazwini attended the annual Eid dinner Thursday night at the State Department in Washington with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who spoke about the attacks on U.S. facilities that resulted in four deaths in Libya.

Clinton said the violence was not justified, a view that was echoed by Al-Qazwini. He said Islam teaches that ambassadors and other guests should always be welcomed.

“This is not what Islam preaches,” Al-Qazwini said of the fatal attacks. “There is no way we can tolerate killing.”

At the same time, he said we can’t “sit and watch” as the anti-Islam video is promoted.

“We can do more to stop inciting violence,” he said. Allowing the movie has “broader ramifications for our troops, diplomats and Americans abroad.”

The filmmaker and those who support the movie, such as Quran-burning Pastor Terry Jones of Florida, “have blood on their hands,” he said.

@UncleRUSH

It would be illegal to yell fire in movie theater and it could be illegal to make hate film which was obviously designed to cause alarm?

AS IF THE RAP MUSIC RUSSELL SIMMONS HAS PRODUCED NEVER OFFENDED ANYONE.
