Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Swedish police can’t protect convert, has to go into hiding, change identity

Aug 1, 2014 7:50 pm By Nicolai Sennels

Mona WalterSharia is already rampant in Sweden and the rest of Western Europe, and the police have to work ever harder to protect in particular women, non-Muslims, and converts against it. More on the lovely Mona Walter here and here. Translated from Dagen:

Threats and harassment became part of everyday life for Mona Walter when she began to criticize Islam publicly. Now she feels that it has gone too far and is looking for a new home and will need to acquire a new identity.

“I decided to move when people started ringing at the door.”

Mona Walter has almost become accustomed to the threats that she gets daily due to her criticism of Islam. But as the threats and harassment increased near her at home or on the way to work, she felt that it went beyond her control.

When Dagen (newspaper) meets Walter, she wants to make sure that we will not disclose were she is or where she is about to move. Now she is in continuous contact with the SÄPO (Security Service) and the police to find a new home and create a protected identity.

The number of threats increased

After Mona Walter last spring participated in a TV program at SVT Västnytt, the number of threats increased significantly and many tried to get her to stop criticizing Islam. The program was about the problems that she and many others experience when leaving Islam and converting to Christianity.

“Someone has posted my residence address online, urging people to assassinate me. I wrote out the contents and showed the police, but they did not do anything.”

But now, the threats have become serious, and Mona says that the police have begun to understand the seriousness and the fear she feels that something could happen.

“They write, for example, ‘We will kill you’ or ‘Al-Shabab will kill you,'” she says.

Mona takes out her phone and shows some examples of the messages she receives on her email and social media. She saves everything she can to show the police.

Some ask her simply stop criticizing Islam. Other emails are considerably more hostile and contain death threats. Several messages include threats of aggravated sexual attacks.

    Sounds like she and her husband need to acquire a brace of large dogs and be given firearms and also martial arts training by the Swedish special forces.

      Forget Swedish Special Forces, have her train with Mossad. Two words: Krav Maga!

        Yes.

        She and her husband both. They have *small children* to protect.

        True, you are right Angemon. Poor lady, I think there are so many Al Shabbaab followers in Sweden now and some other Western European countries, Too dangerous!.

    I am glad that the security police actually took the threats seriously and will give her the protection that they find necessary. It’s not something that we can count on these days, especially if the threatened person is a Christian.
    Only muslims are persecuted is what we are told.

    If she can not get a visa (thanks to our screwed up visa system) I suggest she travel to Mexico and become an illegal immigrant to the US. It seems to be working for everyone else south of the border, so she might as well give it a shot.

    The Walter family are exactly the sort of folk this country was created for.

      This is case that our so called president would probably send back and not let stay. Anyone else,gang member or whatever but a Christian, a person who maybe good for our nation, they would have to go. This whole deal makes me sick and this spineless, no good president makes me want to puke.

    I can never understand why Muslims hate a person criticizing Islam or even there governments. A simple answer is they want to hide the truth from public.

    • JIMJFOX says

      Aug 2, 2014 at 5:58 am

      Islam cannot withstand truth. Muhammad knew this and got his alter ego Allah to ‘send down’ verses to punish those who criticised him- usually by assassination.

    • Gardener says

      Aug 2, 2014 at 7:31 am

      Not really. It’s more about identity. If they admitted even to themselves that all the criticism is valid, it would destroy their identity.

      Muslims dealing with criticism directed at Islam and Muhammad is cognitive dissonance in overdrive. They want the discomfort to go away, so they’ll snatch at any spurious claim made by an Islamic apologist and say “Ha! You see! You lied about Islam! It doesn’t teach that!” And so the problem goes away momentarily. This is also why Muslims so eagerly embrace the victim narrative. It fits like a glove and makes the uncomfortable issues go away. Indeed, Muslims are victims, it’s just that they don’t realize they are really the victims of Islamic doctrine, not something outside of Islam.

      The average Muslim doesn’t understand what Islam teaches any better than the average member of another religion does concerning their respective religion. They mostly understand only what is the most immediate to themselves, i.e. know the common prayers, rituals, festivities, and some sayings.

      Joe, it is the same as someone born in to a Mafia family or married one, if they escape or criticize the mafia I am sure they will get into trouble. Poor Muslims are the same, they are not allow to escape or criticize their faith and if they do they get in to trouble.

    Don’t be too hard on police forces. They’re just human beings doing one complicated and difficult job and, theoretically, having to uphold laws while doing it. I once got into a conversation with a friend who is on a police force in the eastern US. He said he was for outlawing handguns (made exceptions, of course, for long guns, since he and I had lots of mutual friends who hunted and shot varmints on the farm). I told him I understood why, but explained that one reason I could agree with him if and only if we had the budget to place one of his colleagues every few thousand yards (of course paying them decently and fairly) and had iron-bound guarantees that every one of them would be of the highest personal integrity, physical courage, and marked by a wholehearted devotion to both high morality and law. he nodded and conceded I had a point.

    One thing we in the USA need to do is to develop a renewed respect for our First Amendment, and recognize that it applies even to people with whom we disagree. Were I a member of the US Senate, I would filibuster to the point of death against any “hate speech” legislation introduced.

    • Kepha says

      Aug 1, 2014 at 11:02 pm

      I suspect that an issue in Europe–and it’s creeping up on America way too quickly–is that few countries there have anything like our Free Exercise or free speech clauses, and hence people who stray too far from the norms of the most powerful political parties and somehow offend those parties’ client groups are in jeopardy.

        The right for a person to express a personal opinion in Britain, regarding Islam and Muslims, has been curtailed by the creation of laws to the “incitement to racial and religious hatred”
        ANY criticism of Islam and Muslims is deemed by the authorities as a “hate crime” and will get you to see the inside of one of HM prisons.
        Even quoting Winston Churchill is now a “hate crime” in Britain.

    Hey robert Spencer you should make one page in spanish, it’s amazing and sickening to watch my fellow latin american’s ingorance about jihad. They are buying the smoke that media is selling them about Palestinian being “victims” of the “evil Zionist”. There have been anti israel rallies all over latin america if you make a “Cuidado con el yihadista” page I’ll post a link in every single spanish news paper from Mexico to Argentina. It would be great to warn latin americans about the danger of the jihad theology.

    Lately people in Western Europe are sick specially the middle class, the media, the leftist, everybody is dumb and naïve accept the working class and ex Muslims. They support Islamists they think they are victims and they hate hard working peaceful immigrants who respect the laws. Democratic Western Europeans are selling their countries to Sharia law, one day they will pay the price they will loose their freedom and they will have threats and harassments just like the lady above, I pray for Mona and her family to be save and protected.

      Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 84 :: Hadith 57

      Narrated ‘Ikrima:

      Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to ‘Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn ‘Abbas who said, “If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah’s Apostle forbade it, saying, ‘Do not punish anybody with Allah’s punishment (fire).’ I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah’s Apostle, ‘Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.'”

    I really don’t know why anybody would be surprised at this, from some of the subscribers of Islam.

    On the other hand, historically speaking, this is a matter of the chickens coming home to roost for our Christian friends.

    Not that this makes it right of course. Yeah, I know, many of you didn’t like that comment….because it’s true and you know it.

      ……………………….

      What has Mona Walter done to deserve this?

      Or are you referring to Swedish “post Christians” Even if you are, the idea that Mona Walter’s being threatened presents “chickens coming home to roost” is odd at best, and—with respect—rather offensive at worst.

      • Brother Mark:) says

        Aug 3, 2014 at 2:54 am

        @ gravenimage

        Try doing some simple and basic research on the history of Christianity.

        I never said that Mona Walter herself personally deserved any of this, actually if you read carefully, to the contrary.

        What I said was ” historically speaking,”…

        Here is something to consider while pondering the comment of mine that you have chosen to reply to:

        http://talktruthful.com/2013/07/25/the-christian-anti-jihadist-a-study-in-hypocrisy-2/

    Swedish police can’t protect convert, has to go into hiding, change identity
    ………………………………

    For posters who have—with good reason—been scathingly critical of Sweden for this, recall that this sickening dhimmitude has *already happened in the US* with the case of cartoonist Molly Norris.

    She had to go into hiding after creating “Everybody Draw Muhammed Day”.

    The police and FBI told her that they could not protect her, and told her, effectively, to shut up and go into hiding—just like Mona Walter.

    “’Everybody Draw Mohammed Day’ cartoonist changes name, goes into hiding”

    http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/09/everybody-draw-mohammed-day-cartoonist-changes-name-goes-into-hiding

    And for every Mona Walter and Molly Norris who has to go into hiding, there will be one less voice raised in criticism of the savagery of Islam—and that’s just what the threatening Muslim thugs are counting on.
