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

Sweden: Girls fearing forced marriage advised to put metal spoon in underwear to alert airport security

May 24, 2018 9:14 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The ostrich syndrome has taken hold of Swedish leaders and their European Union cohorts as the West has imported large numbers of people who engage in dangerous practices and hold to damaging ideologies. These people are harming Muslim women as well as infidels, who were once safe in the West. Now:

Girls in Sweden are being advised that if they fear being taken overseas to be subjected to a forced marriage or Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) that they should hide a spoon in their underwear. “The spoon will trigger metal detectors when you go through security checks,” said Katarina Idegård who is the development manager for the unit charged with tackling honour-based violence in Sweden’s second biggest city Gothenburg.

The girls have a myriad of ways to get attention from security. Unfortunately, abused girls are often too afraid to draw attention and/or oppose their abusers, especially when the abusers are backed by communities that are complicit in widespread human rights abuses committed in the name of Islam. What do Swedish officials think these girls’ families will do to them once the spoon is found?

“Girls Fearing Forced Marriage Told to Stick a Spoon in Underwear to Alert Airport Security,” by Victoria Friedman, Breitbart, May 23, 2018:

Girls in Sweden are being advised that if they fear being taken overseas to be subjected to a forced marriage or Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) that they should hide a spoon in their underwear.
“The spoon will trigger metal detectors when you go through security checks,” said Katarina Idegård who is the development manager for the unit charged with tackling honour-based violence in Sweden’s second biggest city Gothenburg.

“You will be taken aside and you can then talk to staff in private,” Ms. Idegård told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

“It is a last chance to sound the alarm,” she added. Airport staff in Gothenburg have been trained on how to handle such situations, and campaigners hope other cities and airports will adopt the same procedure.

Reuters reports that Sweden keeps no statistics on the number of girls who are sent abroad to be forced into marriages, but Ms. Idegård said a hotline has received 139 calls last year about forced and child marriages…..

    A spoon in your underwear makes the jihad go down.

    ‘Spooning’ could take on a whole new meaning!

    The West is sooooo slow to wake up to what’s being done to them by the very people they elected into office,. Sooooo slow and sooooo stupid,

    Anti-immigration Sweden Democrats poll record high ahead of September election,

      They are not stupid. They are fully aware of what they are doing. Follow the money, it is indeed the route to all evil.

    Will there be something in the way of an emergency legal custody transferral for any child in such danger?
    Will children receive free legal representation to act on their behalf against their abusive families?
    Will there be facilities set up to keep anyone in danger of honour violence hidden from honour vendettas of their extended families or communities?
    Will the same protections be offered to children raised as muslim who are in grave danger for either wanting to adopt western values and culture, or apostacize entirely?

      We all know the answer to your questions, (which are on the mark, and extremely valid), and it is nope.

    You just know that you are going to have a very bad day when: When you dreamed that you were eating chocolate pudding all night, and you wake up with a spoon in your ass. Leave it there and head to the airport. Obviously it is a “sign”. LMAO. Might as well have a laugh, because it doesn’t do a damn thing to care or have any compassion any longer.

    But a recent article in the Huffpost rag on Noura Hussein said that there’s no forced marriages in Islam, and Islam is not the problem.
    Left wing publications don’t just lie a lot, they insult your intelligence.

    • Richard says

      May 24, 2018 at 1:40 pm

      Dear End PC: No the lies don’t insult peoples’ intelligence because almost no one knows the media is lying. Almost everything on this site has been carefully cleansed from major news sites. Ethnic cleansing? It is like there is an international blackout on this stuff and a few brave folks like Robert Spencer and Jamie Glasoff are standing in the marketplace crying out “Caesar, beware the Ides of March!” while next to him the crowd is singing to Brutus, “For he’s a jolly good fellow!”

    Is this a forced marriage or are you just happy to see me?

    The sad fact is…European countries have lost control. Islamic populations in majority of these countries exceed 5% and soon to be 10%. If they try to get tough on Islam there will be riots and cities will go up in flames. These countries made a bargain with the devil decades ago to accept unbridled Islamic immigration in the hope of saving their bloated socialist governments. It’s no longer Europe but EURABIA.

      Sez the Muslim trying to pass as a Christian (name). This “than” clown used to be “defender of Islam” on this site.

      I see that ol’ “DefenderofIslam” is giving handy tips to Muslim parents so they can force their underaged daughters into marriage. *Ugh*.

    Jay. You are so right. But you are so non-politically correct.

    Also females have no value, regardless of the lip-service by creatures such as my PM, and his buddies, May, Merkel, and Macron.

    “… It is a last chance to sound the alarm,” she added. Airport staff in Gothenburg have been trained on how to handle such situations, and campaigners hope other cities and airports will adopt the same procedure…”

    WHEN AND WHERE ARE THE PROSECUTIONS TO BEGIN? This looks so much like it’s giving the appearance of action while hiding the emptiness of the human rights platitudes issuing from the Swedish State. These ‘spoon in pants girls’ will likely be first humiliated at airport security before being sent home with traditional parents to be castigated and abused.

    Women’s rights are at their lowest point in Sweden since the 1930’s, possibly much earlier.

    USA, your only hope is TRUMP, He was PUT there with a mission. DRAIN THE SWAMP. You think he does not know what he is doing, and people don’t like his ways, but they will try anything to impeach him.
    You have to vote for him the next time, otherwise you are lost. He is not only trying to drain the swamp with muslims, but in every level. He is rich , but not one of the elite. He has money and is not out to follow the money in dishonesty. As so many voters will be muslims, you have to try to keep him in office.
    Does anybody know if gi is ok? I don’t have to know the hows of it, just if she is ok.Thank you

      I noticed the absence of her comments too. Once in a while she goes away for a bit, maybe taking care of some business or on a vacation. Hope she’s okay, probably she is. I think she’ll be back soon.

      Terra Nova, and j_not_a, thanks so much for asking about me. My computer keyboard died at an especially busy time of year for my repair shop, so I was down for almost two weeks. I’m trying to catch up with all the stories I missed now.

      Generally I post here everyday.

    Jay Boo…MEDIA…what MEDIA would do this?….Where one wants to believe it or not there is a conspiracy in the MEDIA a monopoly, if you will, that will not tell the truth about this evil cult called islam..Oh there is a few media outlets that try to hold to the right but even they won’t really out any teeth in their reports.
    If the MEDIA would operate to help the people, as they should, they could bring so much pressure to bare that our so called leaders would have to take the ACTION needed to address the fallacies in islam..but no…they are so leftist liberal that they may be our downfall

    I’d like to find a better way to prevent Muslims marrying off their children to old pedophiles.
