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

Sweden: Police to grant Islamic group right to broadcast call to prayer, refuse to consult the public on the matter

May 17, 2018 8:15 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Despite Sweden’s harebrained open-door immigration policy, just yesterday, Jihad Watch reported that the United Nations criticized Sweden as a “racist inferno where immigrants face painful racism.”

Now comes word that:

Police in the Swedish municipality of Karlskrona are expected to grant the local Islamic association the right to broadcast the call to prayer in public and are refusing to consult local residents on the decision because it would be too much hard work.

The mainstream Islamic Cultural Association in Karlskrona is pushing for the loud broadcast.

“Local Church of Sweden Archbishop Fredrik Modeus who called it a ‘well thought-out decision’ and once compared the Muslim call to prayer to church bells.” This misguided man, like so many, does not know that in Islamic law:

dhimmis are “forbidden to openly display wine or pork…to ring church bells or display crosses…recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their funerals and feastdays” (Reliance of the Traveller, o11.5(6)).

In March, Swedish Education Minister Gustav Fridolin told the “Hungarian government and ruling Fidesz party to stop using Sweden as an example of failed mass migration policies.” Unfortunately, Sweden is clearly the model of everything not to do with immigration policy.

“Police in Swedish Municipality Refuse to Consult Public on Islamic Call to Prayer Broadcast,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, May 16, 2018:

Police in the Swedish municipality of Karlskrona are expected to grant the local Islamic association the right to broadcast the call to prayer in public and are refusing to consult local residents on the decision because it would be too much hard work.

The Islamic Cultural Association in Karlskrona expects to receive a positive decision from the local police early next week on whether they will be allowed to continue to broadcast the call to prayer, Swedish broadcaster SVT reports.

The request, which was passed on to the police following a referral by the environment and social committee, would see the call to prayer be broadcast from the minarets of the Kungsmarken mosque, one of the largest in the country.

The mosque had previously begun to issue the call to prayer in November 2017, but shortly after it had emerged the Muslim association had not applied for the correct licencing and so the call to prayer was temporarily stopped.

The decision will come only weeks after the Islamic Association in the town of Växjö was granted the ability to publicly broadcast the call to prayer every Friday in the early afternoon by police and the local government.

The move was even celebrated by local Church of Sweden Archbishop Fredrik Modeus who called it a “well thought-out decision”….

    The “call to prayer” will be blasted at the most inconvenient hours, disturbing the peace of the people who live in the area. It will convince them firmly that Islam is now the dominant force in Sweden, and that resistance will get them nowhere.

      It is misguided to think the Muslims in Sweden will be satisfied with one. Uezzin call on one day of the month. Soon the demand will be fof the muezzin call five times a day and every day of the week!

      This is the death knell; the stake through the heart of civilized societies under conquest by islam and its jihadis.

      Cicero is right: It will soon be heard multiple times throughout the day.

      In that case:

      LET THE CHURCH BELLS RING!
      Don’t consult anybody either!
      If it annoys anyone… too bad!
      If the police bothers, just say ‘equal rights.’

      Either way, just do it.
      Unless the country is in a consensus for acquiescing to islam…
      and no one has the walnuts to stand up against it…
      because if you don’t, that’s what it will become… another muslim territory,
      and it will be too late to go back later… without another crusade type event.
      Think it over folks.

      A possible response from the nascent Swedish resistance (which *does* exist).

      Concealed ghetto blasters. Recordings of 1/ Church bells (pick a pleasantly-musical recording) or 2/ the barking of dogs.

      Find some way of ‘planting’ these things within earshot of the mosque and remotely switching- on the recording so that it plays – loudly – the moment that the mosque starts broadcasting, or else just after the mosque has finished.

    A comparison to church bells is wrong. Church bells don’t ring 5x a day and at an ungodly early morning time. They occur once on Sunday and at weddings. They are also not some atonal annoying voice. It is rude and people shouldn’t be assaulted with it. Their prayers also denigrate non-Muslims and their Qur’an brutally and constantly in their unholy book.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      May 18, 2018 at 8:21 am

      Precisely.

      Good points that our Swedish posters – there are some – and lurkers (probably a lot more) – who form part of the nascent Free Swedish Resistance Against Jihad, could make, in letters to the relevant authorities, and notably, to the Swedish Democrats, who could be pressed to bring up the subject of the so-called “call to prayer’ in parliament.

    In my region, the campaigns almost do not sound anymore. They only give the time signals (at night not) and in a very attenuated way and with music. Mass is only called in the afternoon and very little time and is not heard throughout the neighborhood. The call to Islamic prayer is very intrusive. It’s three minutes screaming and complaining, saying that Alah is the greatest and that Muhammad is his prophet … and what does it matter to me? Whoever wants to go to church knows the time and the same for mosques. The campaigns no longer bother, formerly if they bothered … and it turns out that now we must allow that Islamic fascist scum to mark the rhythm of our lives? At five o’clock in the morning screaming like slaughtered lambs? No way.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      May 18, 2018 at 8:27 am

      Just for clarification – I think by ‘campaign’ you intended something like ‘campanile”, bell-tower?

      You make good points about the contrast between the church bell and the muezzin’s howl.

      Have you heard of an ex-Muslim called ‘Sam Solomon’ (a nom de plume)? He has written two excellent books about the way the mohammedan mob goes about infiltrating and seizing territory, in those instances where it is not strong enough to engage in outright full-frontal military assault. “Al Hijra: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration” and “The Mosque Exposed”. The latter might have some useful stuff about the function of the muezzin and the ‘call to ‘prayer”.

      You would find both books very helpful for understanding what the Muslim colonists have been and are doing in Europe. I don’t know what your native language is, but your English is clearly good enough, that you would understand these books – his style is plain and clear. Get them (I think they can be googled and then bought online) and read them and then…spread the information around, not only in the original English, but perhaps in your own words, in your own language.

      Filthy mithraist evil muslims and Idol worshipers hate to hear church bells and Christian songs because it frightens the satan (allah) who inspires their religion.

      Christian church bells and worship songs to the one true God, along with Bible readings and Christian evangelism… to the one true faith… will persist so that the islam satan run away from the east and west so that only One without partners will be worshiped there (the God of the Bible) and filths of paganism swiped away….. like islam!

          Singing or clapping in worship is “the Satan”, but raping small children and slaughtering unbelievers is perfectly Halal.

          Muslim “morals” in action…

      May 17, 2018 at 8:11 pm

      Christians will invade the middle east and convert it to Christianity and ring church bells and sing Christian songs loudly all over the land and rid it of filthy islam and its satanic verses!

      The victory belongs to Jesus and He will conquer the whole world!
      All who did not bow to Him as Lord will not make it to heaven!

        Lydia church, mithraist churchmen did it during crusade wars where fighters for mithraist christ killed more than 20 million Muslims , but the survivors still dominate the middleast.New round of crusade genocidal killings cannot change the equation, we will never worship your satan god (holy spirit) the father of all evils and lies.

        • boakai ngombu says

          May 18, 2018 at 8:21 am

          you always fail to mention what went on before the crusades. and you never mention all the killing and wrong that went on elsewhere that was done by the slaves (muslims) of the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers).

          keep on hating what the allah god hates and you’ll never be filled with knowledge of the Love of God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).

          be careful of the evil jinn which tempt you

          More tosh from Ibrahim itace muhammed, He likes to pretend that any defense against Jihad is “genocide”.

          Meanwhile, he has said that he wants to personally take part in the genocide of the Jews.

      itace, one day into ramadan and you’re already grumpy… and still dead in soul, your will damaged, your thoughts imprisoned in hate.

      there is release and deliverance from that, but now you know you reject it. you refuse the presence and guidance of the Holy Spirit, who could guide you into TRUTH.

      Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (three Persons in One Divine Being) actually have love for you.

      while you fast, put on a happy face, OK

      See your edited comment above.

      And in that case… you can’t cry if the crusaders wipe you muslims out from the face of the earth, or Israel does… because people like you deserve it. You blaspheme night and day and one day will be in hell.

    • Lydia Church says

      May 17, 2018 at 8:08 pm

      You filthy pig muslims can’t even answer the challenges put to you by real intellectuals with evidence because then you can’t deny the proof that islam is false and evil and inspired by satan (allah) and Christianity is the only true religion, holy and pure.

      All those inquirers are still waiting…..

      and I already know it is because you don’t have any reasonable answers!

    This lack of consulting the average types of people and this imposing of imbecilic politically correct policies by the political elites is an extremely annoying, anti-democratic tendency which seems to be very common in all our western societies these days. The people will rise up sometime in the future and throw out these political elites who have sold them out over so many years. And caving in to Muslims is one of the main ways the elites have sold us out. It would be “too much hard work” to consult with people. Yes, democracy is too much hard work for the sell out merchants.
