A woman in Sweden claims that she was denied service at a local Somalian-owned shop because she was not wearing an Islamic headscarf.
Soheila Fors said she felt as if “she had returned to Iran’s religious oppression.” In addition, she gets death threats against her family for promoting women’s rights.
This case highlights a peculiar problem we see in the West: feminists and deceivers such as Linda Sarsour ignore the plight of Muslim women under Sharia, including such abuses as wife-beating, FGM, forced marriage, forced covering, the humiliating male guardianship program in mainline Saudi Arabia, and much more.
What makes this case about Soheila Fors glaring is that this Sharia oppression is now on Western soil. This happened to her in Sweden, which is on the verge of civil war over Sharia and jihadi incursions.
“Swedish Shop Refuses Woman Service For Not Wearing Hijab”, by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, July 27, 2017:
A woman in Sweden claims that she was denied service at a local Somalian-owned shop because she was not wearing an Islamic headscarf, and remarked she felt like she was back in her home country of Iran.
The woman, a well-known Swedish female-rights activist named Soheila Fors, said that she was out shopping for dresses and was shown some by the female retail clerk. Shortly after a man, whom Fors deduced to be the owner of the shop, spoke with the clerk in Somalian about Fors and her lack of a hijab, Fors wrote in an article for Nyheter 24.
“The woman turned to me and said, ‘Unfortunately, you can not buy it’. ‘Imagine going to a store and not buying food and milk,’ I replied. ‘Sweden is a democracy,’ she replied. ‘Yes, yes, it’s a democracy. I’ll get in with or without hijab’,” Fors claimed in her piece.
The experience left Fors saying she felt she had, “returned to Iran’s religious oppression.” Fors left Iran in 1993 after being part of a movement against the Islamic government there. Since then she has been outspoken on Islam and women’s issues and has led her to face death threats from supports of the Islamic State terror group.
“They write that they know where I live and to kill my family,” Fors said back in 2015.
According to Fors, many people on social media have told her to file discrimination charges against the shop but she has decided against the idea saying it could lead to potential ethnic conflict between Iranians and Somalians in Sweden.
Instead, she has advocated a boycott of business that employs the same kind of practices saying that Swedes should not spend their money in shops which take such actions.
The two ideas of feminism and conservative Islam have repeatedly butted heads in Sweden in recent years. One of the most well-known and recent cases was when several feminists felt they were forced to leave areas considered “no-go zones” because of the presence of strict Islamic beliefs….
mortimer says
Sharia regulations progress through these steps 1) a choice or option for Muslims 2) preferred for all Muslims 3) compulsory for all Muslims 4) compulsory for Muslims and kafirs 5) established by law and punishable if ignored.
We can see that Sweden is already at STAGE 3 with only two more stages until Sweden becomes a Sharia state that discriminates against all KAFIRS and WOMEN.
PRCS says
“established by law and punishable if ignored”
So let’s call it what it is: ISLAMIC law.
Not SHARIA law.
The Sharia IS Islamic law.
manat bint allaha says
sweden reminds me of a book i started reading a while back, ‘how to successfully raise a crocodile in your home bathtub’.
unfortunately, i will never finish it, the author ended up being eaten last.
mortimer says
Sharia law is enforced by Islamic vigilantes who are called ‘HISBAH’. The hisbah has a right to punish up to and including the death sentence with impunity.
Logic-logic says
Now the Islamists call the shots in Sweden. How very bitter sweet is Sweden !
PRCS says
The Sharia is COMPLIANCE with Islamic law.

OVERTURNED BY HI says
bow why would any non muslim want to eat in a muslim eatery with the reports of human excrement mixed in the food for unbelievers!
John A. Marre says
Don’t expect the Muslims to conform to the laws and customs of the country they are in. Their intention is to reproduce themselves into total power. Then the wearing of the hijab will be compulsory for all.
Walter Sieruk says
A Muslim own shop resuming to serve a women because she women not wearing a hijab in rather mild compared to the other vicious ,cruel and brutal ways some Muslims treat women because of the strong misogyny of Islam. In fact compared to throwing acid in the faces of girls and women or Muslim fathers murdering their daughters in what they call “honor killings,” the above a bit trite . For no actual violence actually happened in this case . So since this is none violence ,that’as pretty good for a Muslim. .
To put this in another way, in an American mall in Pennsylvania I had a Muslim yell out things at me a very angry negative ways because I was wearing a anti-Islam tee-shirt. her screaming and yelling at me was not really “rude ” for a Muslim. Now if a Christian yelled out negative and angry things at someone for wearing an anti- Christianity tee -shirt that would be “rude” for Christian.
The mindset and behavior of Christian should be higher and better than mindset and behavior. of Muslims. What is defined as “rude” for a Muslim in not yelling out in anger at anyone. For a Muslim “rude ‘ throwing a person on the floor and smashing his or her head into the pavement.
Guy Forester says
Hi WS.
If you yelled something at that muslim regarding her hijab or about the Koran, you would be arrested. Meanwhile, you could have rocks, bottles, and spit hurled at you and you would be threatened with arrest for inciting violence. This happened in the Detroit area about 2 years ago.
If Ms. Fors refused to serve a person and that person was wearing a hijab, Ms. Fors would be arrested or face severe civil penalties. This goes on an on, but Sweden is really the canary in the coal mine. If the Swedish flag is replaced by a crescent, look out.
What happened to the brave Swedes that defied the Nazis and provided refuge for the Jews and so many others in WW2? They could have ended up like Norway or Denmark, but were able to defend their homeland.
simpleton1 says
Stage 1, the cross has to be removed off the flag.!
Guy Forester says
I am sure that is coming next
simpleton1 says
GF timing is everything
A most interesting step as removing the cross is removing Swedish heritage, even if they are not so religious these days.
The cross removal would seal the Sweden’s doom.
Although I am doubtful, it may be one of the trigger points that may arouse the Swedes.
Just adding a crescent would appear to be seamless, like saying that it is a recognition of multi cultural aspirations,
Then remove the cross, as Sweden will be done.
gravenimage says
Yes–but things are getting increasingly worse in Sweden.
Westman says
Sweden is no longer able to defend itself, which explains why it is fearful to tell the truth about what Islam is doing to the citizens and the nation. It has reduced its military capability to about 5% of its 1980’s level. Its leaders have been in a delusional state, supporting social benefits (and extra Muslim welfare) by cutting military expenditures, ending the draft, and not replacing obsolete equipment. Grimly amusing, they have 43 modern tanks and only enough tank crews to man one-third of them.
It’s esimated that Sweden could defend itself for only one week. There is a Swedish parody video in which they sing, “Mamma Mia! We have to try, somehow, to stick cannons in SAAB cars.”

Here is the grim story. Use Google Translate for English: https://da.gatestoneinstitute.org/6326/sverige-forsvaret-forsvandt
This should be a warning for any society that wants excessive liberalism. They get absorbed.
Guy Forester says
The swedes were innovative regarding self defense with a limited budget. Now, they cannot and will not defend their own citizens in their own country from common criminals. Yes, liberalism and so-called progressivism are truly mental disorders
There are ways to help people in their own homeland or region. What the EU, US, & UK fail to see is that by bringing in so many of the so-called refugees, we relieve their home country of the responsibility for the welfare of their citizens. By the way, just how many of these refugees did Russia, the PRC, & KSA take in last year?
marina says
Great and exemplary “customer service” from this Mooslime. Swedes should boycott Mudslime owned businesses.
Jen says
Why bother. They’ll just go back on welfare.
Manuel 2 Paleologus says
Not long ago a guy from Sweden wrote me saying good things about that country: how good is there and there is no muslim treats there. Hoe good the muslims are and how much the Swedish nation profit from them.
He also stated that all these bad things are just a right wing propaganda. He also stated there are no ‘no go zone ‘in Sweden. I did not believe an iota he said.
rubiconcrest says
A boycott is not the answer because it allows the business to continue to discriminate and in the long run creates more and more business that only serve Muslims leading to larger and larger no go zones.
Lynn says
Sweden, although not a member of NATO, might be able to call on NATO for assistance in the event of civil war. It could certainly call on the EU for help. Such help might not be forthcoming because other EU members have their own problems with Muslim refugees.
gravenimage says
I don’t think any European nation can depend on the EU, Lynn–the EU is enabling much of the Muslim takeover of Europe.
Carolyne says
I think the EU is actually planning and demanding the Muslim takeover. It is they who set the quotas for each country while their elite live in luxury with bodyguards in Brussels and Vienna. They don’t ever even see one of these barbarians they have unleashed.
jewdog says
Did the store post a sign “No Dogs or Infidels Allowed”? Seems I’ve heard of this sort of thing…
Expat88 says
Once in Bangkok at a bar I saw a sign that said no dogs or Saudis.
Sam says
A woman in Sweden claims that she was denied service at a local Somalian-owned shop because she was not wearing an Islamic headscarf.
I am sure that there is not one JW reader who is surprised about that. I am sure similar incidents are happening in USA but we don’t hear them of course. We will hear those LOUD AND CLEAR SOON!!!
simpleton1 says
It is doubtful that any incident will be reported, as there is an intimidation aspect to this.
Then it becomes questionable just how much the police and judiciary are involved.
Once your name as a complainant is in the system, will you feel safe ??
simpleton1 says
When in hospital last year, (and not in a good state) I was attended by a male nurse of immigrant origins.
He was quite friendly and chatty.]
In that state, I did figure that that the nurse came from a predominantly muslim country.
He seemed most efficient and super fast, but I did believe he did not do the alcohol hand wash, that all other nurses routinely did and later,I found out could be called out to be done in front of me.
I also figured that some of the routine of doing IV drips, flushing, swabs (with alcohol), changing to other feed in’s was so fast, in comparison to other nurses. Was he taking short cuts?, and I did query him on this, but he said it was not needed, and things can combine. Most unlike the other nurses who seemed very disciplined to follow correct procedure.
The fastest ever possible blood pressure tests I have ever experienced, and I can not see how he got a reading.
Being next to the nurses station, I could easily hear him, as he seemed to be so often chatting/flirting up other nurses and asking them out.
The other nurses always said when I asked how their shift was going, the answer was, “very busy”.
I was of 2 minds whether he was risking my health, and mean while there were a few other muslim nurses in scarves, so I did not want to cause problems, if I made mention to other nurses about his procedures.
One does not know what will set them off, that can cause you a lot of damage.
In the future as I know much more, I will set up a cell phone/notebook/laptop. to record such routines, for my own mind’s sake, and if there is evidence, that then can be used.
Well no unexpected problems, and my health has recovered.
gravenimage says
I am glad you are feeling better now.
But you are right–Muslim doctors and nurses are putting Infidels at risk.
Jen says
Are they even qualified in the first place?
Expat88 says
You are correct in being worried about practices like that. In the Middle East female doctors that are going into the operating room to perform surgery will not even scrub properly because of the risk of exposing their arms, which is incorrect practice and unconscionable.
simpleton1 says
Thank you for your kind thoughts gravenimage
It is like Russian roulette, as you will not know which muslim, (if you can figure that), may feel he/she has other duties, or even just negligence, justified by their active beliefs.
Jen, yes qualified, so if he was caught out with evidience, he would have been sacked.
Epat88, It is sad that their practices can endanger others.
Just looking how to gather evidence, and even if helps others to see things.
It was not until after that I found that I had a right to ask staff to use the alcohol cleansing hand wash in front of me.
Other practices would have to be gathered by a cam phone, note pads, lap tops or such systems as these home security cams, https://blinkforhome.com/
We should not become paranoid, but careful and thought full in how we now have to cope.
All the other staff were wonderful, and certainly were thorough in the routines that had to be done.
Carolyne says
You are lucky that you survived the experience. My sister in law was in the hospital and as she had Alzheimer’s I was her conservator. She was not eating well and I asked
To speak to her doctor. In came a Muslimah with headscarf and suggest they put a permanent feeding tube in her stomach through her side. I felt that would be cruel as they had not even tried the liquids such as Ensure. I refused the tube but demanded Ensure or its equivalent and that was successful. She was discharged to her nursing home a few days later and began eating normally and lived another year or so. If I have to be hospitalized I will refuse a Muslim doctor.
Lydia says
And so it begins…
you are wearing a ‘star of David’ on your shirt, therefore you can’t eat here…. etc.
Arnold says
good correlation. history repeats itself and that previous generation that lived through it the first time are nearly gone.

Not mentioned in the story is that Soheila Fors is a Christian.

Sweden: Muslim-owned shop refuses to serve woman because she wasn’t wearing a hijab
………………………….
How many more cases will there be like this in the West? This is just the beginning.
She fled Iran, and is now facing the same Islamic ugliness in Sweden.
Expat88 says
It seems that I remember reading in Jihad watch ages ago about a UK Muslim dentist working for the N H S who refused to treat female Muslim patients that were uncovered.
James Stamulis says
This is one brave lady and too bad her politicians don’t have her testicular fortitude.
moeped says
I wonder if at some point, people will respond by smashing the business which refuses to operate as per our laws.
Is that what it’s going to take? Oh geez I certainly hope not. I’m sure business owners like this can be reasoned with right? There’s no need to destroy their place of business, loot and destroy it and its merchandise is there? Surely we’re on a path towards peace rather than conflict. I sure hope so.
Jack Dawkins says
Why no mention of Hamburg Jihad areack? Happened yesterday.
Arnold says
your country was a democracy until your leaders let the tyrants into your house. perhaps you will learn your lesson and remove all your leaders and then you can begin to clean house.
Jen says
“Muslim-owned shop refuses to serve woman because she wasn’t wearing a hijab.”
Ok but they didn’t rape her. Geez! What do you want! (Sarc off)
Oceanside says
“According to Fors, many people on social media have told her to file discrimination charges against the shop but she has decided against the idea saying it could lead to potential ethnic conflict between Iranians and Somalians in Sweden.”
Potential ethnic conflict? She means religious conflict, surely, and the boat sailed on that one a LONG time ago.
Jen says
Yes and find their inner Viking.
abad says
Just when I thought the world’s population of “Somali Refugees”(TM Pending) were in Minnesota.
Sweden should round up its Moslem population and deport them back to wherever they came from.

She was smart to leave Iran, but dumb to go to sweeden
