Hungary has offered asylum to Christian convert Aideen Strandsson because the Swedish government plans to deport her to Iran where she could face prison or even the death penalty for apostasy.
Even worse, Strandsson states that she was told by Swedish authorities that “it’s not our problem if you decided to become a Christian.”
It is ironic that Sweden has a reputation as “the world’s humanitarian conscience and a safe haven for refugees” in the face of its rejection and mockery of Strandsson.
Swedish MEP Malin Bjork once issued an indictment against Hungary due to its tight immigration policy and rejection of EU refugee quotas. Bjork stated, demonstrating the pervasive, divisive and propagandist narrative: “When it comes to the political course, Hungary is playing a very dangerous and racist game and right-wing nationalist game and I don’t think we should adapt to it.” But now that Hungary has come out in support of Aideen Strandsson, it has used the opportunity to showcase its sensible immigration policy in the face of false accusations of racism:
Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjén released a statement on Hungary’s official government website saying: “Right from the beginning, we have differentiated between economic migrants and genuine asylum-seekers.
Taking in persecuted Christians is our moral and constitutional duty all at once.
Christians, who are in most need — as they are victims of war and also victims of religious persecution — have been neglected by Western nations in their bizarre, ongoing eagerness to prioritize Muslim refugees, despite the woes they have already experienced as an outcome of their suicidal immigration policies. European nations have been afflicted with escalating crime and chaos, an Islamic State infiltration of the refugee stream, and a pervasive problem with integration.
Hungarian Deputy Minister Semjén also noted that “Christians would have a much easier time integrating into Hungarian society than Muslim migrants.”
“Hungary Offers Asylum as Sweden Prepares to Deport Christian Convert Actress to Iran”, by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, August 15, 2017:
Hungary has offered asylum to Christian convert Aideen Strandsson because the Swedish government plans to deport her to Iran where she could face prison or even the death penalty for apostasy.
In 2014, Iranian actress Aideen Strandsson came to Sweden on a work visa and applied for asylum after she had converted from Islam to Christianity. The Swedish Migration Board recently denied Strandsson asylum and began the process of deporting her but now the Hungarian government has offered to take her in instead, Nyheter Idag reports.Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjén released a statement on Hungary’s official government website saying: “Right from the beginning, we have differentiated between economic migrants and genuine asylum-seekers.”
“Taking in persecuted Christians is our moral and constitutional duty all at once,” he added.
Semjén also noted that Christians would have a much easier time integrating into Hungarian society than Muslim migrants. The move backs up previous statements from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán who has previously said that multiculturalism and mass migration are endangering the “Christian roots” of Europe.
The Hungarian government’s decision comes after they refused to take in 5,000, largely Muslim, migrants in March. Swedish Immigration and Justice Minister Morgan Johansson claimed that Hungary had a “duty” to take in the migrants who Johansson said should return to Hungary under the European Union’s Dublin Regulation.
The Hungarians have also refused to accept the EU’s migrant redistribution scheme in which the political bloc would take migrants from Italy and Greece and send them to various member states. The nation held a referendum on the issue in October last year which saw overwhelming support for the Hungarian government’s position of rejecting the redistribution.
Hungary was also one of the first countries to rebuke the prevailing pro-migrant rhetoric from politicians like German Chancellor Angela Merkel in 2015. The Hungarians built a border fence which drastically reduced the number of arriving migrants.
The nation also placed the blame for mass migration on pro-migrant NGOs, many of which are funded by left-wing billionaire George Soros who is originally from Hungary. Prime Minister Orbán has claimed the EU is following the “migrant plan” of Soros…..
Linde Barrera says
God bless Hungary. God damn George Soros and the EU.
Adrian Johnson says
What she said !
DrSique says
Ditto. Seems a bit hypocritical that the same country which has allowed itself to be overrun with jihadists and muslim rape gangs would deport one of the very few middle east Christians who has managed to get to Europe without being barbarically murdered. Self loathing taken to a whole new level.
JACK W WARNER says
I´m quite surprised no one in Sweden or else where offer Aideen Strandson help to escape from dead in Iran. Remember the Iran Islamic court always send converted to dead, it´s part of the rules in Quran.
I´m ready to offer help and assistance in any form for Ms. Strandson to a safe place. Beside the Hungary offer to do the same, a cooperation between different group-partners we will rescue any christian from the prosecution in Islamic countries.
The Swedish Government employ Islamist staff and let them go-a-head with the same rules like it been use in Iran and other places around the Muslim world.
Who may be able to connect rescue group together ??

Soros is a dual US Hungarian citizen, which Hungary should remedy by any means necessary. In my opinion, the US should abolish dual citizenship altogether. Your loyalties should be with one country. Due to Supreme Court rulings, it may not be possible for the US to eliminate birth dual citizenship, but it could definitely legislate not giving anyone citizenship who has not renounced his previous citizenship. And it could strip the citizenship of anyone taking the citizenship of another country or serving in their armed forces as a citizen.
Also, I’m happy to see Hungary specifying Christian as a condition of refugee status, instead of simply being in danger of persecution. Muslims living in Muslim countries are always in danger of persecution, as Muslims routinely persecute each other as well as non-Muslims. Let Muslims settle that question among themselves.
Jack says
Hungary is out for blood with Soros. He would cancel his Magyar citizenship if we did away with dual citizenship. Then we would be stuck with him.
Wellington says
I completely agree with you, RonaldB, about dual citizenship. Definitely if one is not born a dual citizen then when applying for citizenship in another country, they should have to give up their previous citizenship. At least I would want that here in America. Even birth dual citizenship, as you indicated something deuce difficult to get rid of because of ill-advised Supreme Court rulings, I optimally would like to get rid of as well. My suggestion, as I mentioned before at JW, is that the person has to somewhere around the age of 21 who was born a dual citizen in America to decide whether they want to remain an American citizen or choose the citizenship of the other nation.
The nation state, as opposed to city-states, empires and any kind of citizen of the world nonsense, though not perfect, is the best of the lot among different kinds of polity possibilities and dual loyalty creates confusion, division and unreliability often times. In the US I’d like to see it done away with completely though I know this will be a very steep uphill legal struggle to achieve this. One should be an American first, last, only and proudly.
As for the young woman this article is about, I wish her the best and applaud Hungary for its humanity and curse Sweden for its inhumanity. I do wish things work out for the young woman and that she will end up in a nation with both a collective heart and common sense.
Hope you are doing well. Take care.

Ronald, the United States does not recognize dual citizenship–although many other nations do.
John S. Obeda says
Friend gravenimage, My wife and I have dual citizenship, U.S. and Canada for many years now. Of course, I have to hire someone to fill out the returns for both countries. Of course, Marian and I voted for Trump and NOT for Trudeau. So far this year around 3000 Haitians and some others have come illegally across the U.S. boarder, many coming to Quebec.
John S. Obeda says
I should add that there, indeed, was a time when the U.S. did not accept dual citizenship, but, when the U.S. changed and did accept dual, then in due time Marian and I became Canadian citizens so that we could vote, yeah, so we could do our part to help get rid of the NDP which at the time ruled Ontario.
gravenimage says
John, Canada recognizes dual citizenship, but the US still does not:

The US knows that it exists, but does not formally acknowledge it.

Deport the Christian convert back to Iran to be killed yet keep the Muslims that are destroying the nation: INSANITY.
Japetto Donatelli says
Inhumane acts like this by the Swedish government will only reinforce in the minds of muslims the futility of thinking they can leave islam. This shows all too well Sweden’s hypocrisy in favor of islam over others. They say it’s not their problem, but they had no reservations about making muslims everyone else’s problem. More violence, more rape, more bigotry, these are the fruits of making muslims their “problem.” But somehow helping one convert to Christianity is the straw that breaks their compassionate backs. This young woman is a genuine asylum seeker, because deportation will almost certainly result in death or imprisonment for her religion and gender. They’ve got hundreds of thousand of muslims on government assistance, but this one Christian’s life ain’t worth a piece of bread and a soft cot. Holy cripes, it sickens me to see how western governments so willingly suck islamic d*ck.
God bless Hungary for offering to save the life of this young lady. There needs to be more attention paid to the multitude of Christians getting murdered and destroyed for islamic bigotry. We’ve shown far too much kindness and tolerance for muslim bullies who have made a religion of acting unkind and intolerant toward us.
Shmooviyet says
“… but this one Christian’s life ain’t worth a piece of bread and a soft cot.” Excellent!
There is a sense of punishment for this woman by insanely cruel Swedish officials. When will THAT country come out and declare its new policy of imprisonment or death for conversion? ( one way-conversion, naturally..)
RationalVoice says
Without knowing the full details of this I hesitate to comment but she might be better of in Hungary than Sweden unless she really wants to stay in Sweden and thought that “becoming” a christian might help her case and she will revert to Islam once she gets her European passport.Frankly I think all immigration into European countries should be halted while this present emergency is ongoing.
The only sensible belief system is Rationalist Atheism as it doesn’t require belief in the hocus-pocus ,magic and miracles and bypassing of your common sense and critical faculties of Judaism,Christianity,Islam and all the silly derivatives which have emerged since.
It does require control of your emotions,self discipline and use of the very fine intellectual capacities which evolution has bequeath us.
Monty says
Your “fine” intellectual capacities presume to know all the knowledge that there is to know. You claim to be omniscient. That would make you God. But you don’t believe in God. I don’t believe in atheism either. Therefore you do not exist. It may help you to know that the most atheistic nation on the planet is North Korea. What a wonderful role model for your religion.
gravenimage says
You can’t assume that Sweden would not have sent her back to die if she were an Atheist now, either.
Neither Christians nor Atheists are slaughtering people who think differently from themselves; Muslims are, though.
somehistory says
Our Creator blesses those who do what is right. Jesus said to those who question Him on *why* He puts them on His “right” in order for them to have eternal life. He said it would be because they show love and kindness to His “brothers” and that is as if they show kindness to Him. “To the extent that you did it (give water, clothing, care, etc.) to one of the least of these, my brothers, you did it to Me.” (Matthew 25)
There are rewards for showing human kindness to Christians. Thankfully, this young woman is being assisted by the government and residents of Hungary.
Jesus also said in that chapter of Matthew what will happen to those who are indifferent to His brothers. How much worse it will be for those who are cruel.
John S. Obeda says
By our good works we are proving to God and to everyone else that we have come to Jesus with a penitent heart asking for mercy and that we trust in Him to be our God and our Saviour from our sins. Without works our faith in Jesus is dead. The point I make is that faith alone saves by the grace of God for the sake of Jesus, but a living faith does good works.

Voytek Gagalka says
I wonder for how long Sweden will keep the cross in their national flag. Or perhaps they removed it already?
Irene Brekelmans says
That is an other big problem. A few months ago I was in a money changing office in the `central `station in `Rotterdam, the Netherlands. A guy from `I think North Africa was ahead of me, when it was his turn, the woman behind the desk asked him for his passport. Out of his pocket he took 6 passports from all different countries, and he asked the woman: Which one do you want? She said she did not care and that is how that went.
But how, in heavens name is that possible. I have only 1 passport from the country I was born in and which is my nationality. People run around with those passports. To me, a passport does not mean anything any more, nothing, it is not honoured any more, you don’t know where people come from, and all the people who have “lost” it. They can tell you anything, and when they don;t have a passport , they have the right to everything anywhere.
Sweden, I don’t get it any more, but neither do I understand the other countries, they keep on acting like they don’t understand it. What are the plans of the leftists, how do they think this all is going?
At least, I would think, say something, or you still think it all will go away by itself? How ignorant can you be and stay. Incredible !!!
Guy Forester says
In most 3rd world countries, you can buy any document you need. Money and/or family connections with the right person are all you need. That is why people opposed to tyrants or trying to leave certain religions are stuck there. Groups like the UNCHR are run by the same batch of third world hell holes. If you try to leave one and look for asylum, you need to run their gauntlet. They do all they can to keep you imprisoned to keep the truth of these rotten countries from getting out.

I expect the Swedes to ignore the offer from “fascist” Orban.
moeped says
BRAVO HUNGARY!!!
But still, vet ALL asylum seekers. Fake conversion will be the next infiltration tactic of this eternal war.
Guy Forester says
Dear Ms. Strandsson: You need to get to the Hungarian embassy ASAP and request asylum. I think you will need help to get through the gate (tucked inside a car with diplomatic plates would help). I think the Swedes will do all they can to keep you from getting out safely. Otherwise get to the Polish or Czech embassy. I would like to say run to the US one, but Trump has not cleaned out the BHO holdovers and you will not be greeted warmly. Finland may be an escape route to one of the above embassies in that country. You need to act quickly, as I would not put it past them to send a swat team to your home in the middle of the night and put you on Hell Hole Airlines for a one way ticket to hell.
Isn’t it amazing what OPEC oil money and a generation or two of leftist brainwashing can do to an entire country?
The other option would be for Swedish Patriots to form a flash mob and escort her to the Hungarian Embassy.
Rob says
OPEC money is alive and well in the U.S. as well. Saudi money funds Wahhabi based publications which are distributed throughout the U.S. as well as a huge Islamic center in Virginia with very questionable activities and members. Out Congress couldn’t even pass the bill to have (unindicted co-conspirator) CAIR declared a terrorist group. Nope…instead our government uses CAIR members and members of its affiliated groups as consultants!! How’s that for ass-hat stupid. Destroy from within is a winning strategy for political Islam and one in which our Congress is a willing accomplice.
Lydia says
What hypocrites the Swedish leaders are! They take in millions of muslims and decry a nation for not doing so, then they deport someone who is a legitimate refugee, a persecuted Christian, who will be killed in Iran, but they say that ‘they don’t care,’ and ‘it’s not their “problem” ‘! Then send back all the muslims, because that’s ‘not their problem’ either! It has become the headache of Sweden though, a true problem. So ironically, Hungary takes her in. So let’s get this straight, Hungary takes persecuted Christian refugees but not terrorist muslims, and Sweden takes dangerous muslims and not Christian victims of persecution by muslims, and then points the finger at Hungary, when they don’t help the true victims. So it’s like, what could be more backwards?! Hypocrites!!! You will answer to the Lord for your evil ways Swedish leaders, for that very thing. If I were there I would take her into my own home. Good for Hungary! God bless them!!! (And Poland). Shame on Sweden! They have stabbed the body of Christ in the back!
And, the muslims are the ones in apostasy, this Christian is in the truth. Plus, they persecute people all the time for converting or being of another religion and that is a violation of human rights. You have the human right to convert to whatever any time and to persecute you for that is a violation of human rights. The quran is in violation in that way, it is in black and white, but they all pretend it is not so. You can become a Christian anytime, anywhere, no matter who agrees with you or not! If they kill you for it, you get to heaven sooner.
Sweden had been blessed for being a Christian nation but now this will bring a curse upon them.
tim gallagher says
Does this mean she will definitely be allowed to go and live safely in Hungary? I certainly hope so. God bless Hungary for their offer. It was such a disgusting attitude from the Swedish government to contemplate sending her back to danger in a barbaric Muslim country. Hungary, Czech Republic and Poland seem to see evil Islam very clearly.
Matthieu Baudin says
Sweden once had a high moral profile taking in prominent dissidents from the communist East Block. But nowadays it’s sending dissidents from Totalitarian theocracies back to the peril that awaits them. The Hungarian authorities have taken the high moral ground in this case and it’s an example that ought to be emulated by those States that have remained unblinkered in their commitment to human decency and freedom of conscience.

Well done Hungary. At least it is conscious of its Christian heritage, unlike Sweden, which has become nothing more than a rogue state as regards its betrayal of its Western values and heritage.

One can only hope and pray that the day comes when these clowns who made this disgusting decision to deport this woman, will themselves need sanctuary from the barbarous Muslims who will eventually take over their Country.
