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

Sweden: Muslim cleric intimidates and threatens journalist during mosque investigation

Feb 2, 2019 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A Swedish journalist investigating the activities of a questionable mosque, which is said to be influential at a local school in the city of Gävle, was intimidated and threatened by an imam.

This is part of a larger problem. “For the last several years Sweden has seen an increasing problem with Islamic radicalisation, with researcher Peder Hyllengren of the Swedish Defence College claiming last year that the country had become an international hub for extremists.”

This didn’t happen overnight. The jihad in Sweden has been advancing while “fake news” outlets tried to minimize it, going so far as to deny that no-go zones even exist, and ignoring the fact that police had virtually lost control of those areas. 80 percent of police in Sweden also have expressed a desire to quit their jobs over the dangers posed by Muslim migrants. The Islamization of Sweden has been so rapid that during the Swedish national election last year, a Muslim member of the Social Democrat Party felt free to state that Islamic law was superior to Swedish law and took precedence over it.

Sweden is lost unless its reasonable citizens stand up to Islamic intimidation and the social justice warriors who encourage that intimidation, or turn a blind eye to it.

“Swedish Journalist Threatened by Imam During Mosque Investigation,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, February 1, 2019:

A Swedish newspaper has reported a threat to one of its reporters by a local imam to police after the journalist investigated a school said to be linked to a local mosque in the city of Gävle.

The reporter, who works for the newspaper Gefle Dagblad, met with the manager of the Muslim school who admitted that there was a link between the school and the Gävle mosque which has been under investigation by the paper for several years, Expressen reports.

The meeting is said to have been amicable until the imam of the mosque suddenly appeared in the office with the journalist and school manager.

The paper had previously sought comment from the imam for the last four years without reply, and the journalist took the chance to ask him a question when the situation dramatically escalated with the reporter being filmed by a third man.

After taking a picture of the imam and beginning to record the conversation, the imam became furious and threatened the reporter telling him to delete the pictures.

Editor in chief of Gefle Dagblad Anders Ingvarsson commented on the incident saying, “When a reporter, under threats, insults and waving fists, is forced to erase images, one has passed a border where one threatens our democracy and freedom of the press.”

“The direct threat was to the reporter, but through this, one affects journalism for all our readers and our ambition to portray reality,” Ingvarsson added.

For the last several years Sweden has seen an increasing problem with Islamic radicalisation, with researcher Peder Hyllengren of the Swedish Defence College claiming last year that the country had become an international hub for extremists.

Academic Sameh Egyptson has claimed that radicals like the Muslim Brotherhood have not only infiltrated certain mosques but also various political parties from as far back as the 1980s….

    The mighty Islamologist Hans Jansen wrote about how mosques do their threats: “Allow one example of how Sharia and clergy operate. In 2006/2007, a Dutch comedian got into trouble with an Islamic activist about the Theo van Gogh assassination. The comedian, on his own initiative, then consulted a local Amsterdam Imam and the board of his mosque, asking them directly whether they wanted to kill him. The Imam only looked stern, and did not say anything, acting as if he did not understand Dutch — which perhaps he did not. However, a smiling board member assured the comedian that they had no plans to kill him, because ‘for such things we have the radicals’. This perfectly illustrates the situation. The majority is silent, the Imam limits himself to looking dignified, his direct supporters bring the bad news, and the elite soldiers, true commandos, true mujahidin, do the dirty work.”

      Thank you, Mortimer. You may not agree with what I take from this, but to me it very succinctly captures what I’ve always been challenged for saying: no Muslim is innocent. It is not possible to be a Muslim, yet be innocent of the crimes of Islam. If you are a Muslim, then at some level you are complicit. If you were not complicit, then the very idea of being part of that umma would already have filled you with such revulsion as to have driven you out of there.

        Anjuli Pandavar,

        ” no Muslim is innocent. It is not possible to be a Muslim, yet be innocent of the crimes of Islam.”

        The only exception to this are the “Muslims in name only” – secret apostates in Muslim majority countries who fear for their lives.

        But I guess that they are not really Muslims…

      (..The imam became furious and threatened the reporter telling him to delete the pictures…When a reporter, under threats, insults and waving fists, is forced to erase images..)

      The reported was a coward! He should never have backed down and erase images under the threat from the thuggish supremacist imam, no matter what! This will only embolden other islamists to use threat of violence to force their agenda on other European infidels!

        It’s always easy to demand that “someone else” should play hero. When you run the risk of being severely injured or killed we’ll see how you would act. He should, perhaps, lay assault charges but that, of course, would carry its own dangers.
        People who do stand up to these crumbs put their safety at risk. The Pamela Gellers and Robert Spencers of this world show great courage but can hardly ever again lead “normal” lives and are constantly at risk. Meanwhile you and I can write what we wish under an umbrella of anonymity.
        Before you call the reporter a “coward” without being correctly labelled as a “hypocrite” why not use your real name on this website?

          Rarely

          You are being hypocritical your self here cause you too, as many others, don’t use your real name here but a moniker. The words of Jesus applies to you squarely when He said:

          (..You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye..) Mat 7:5

          That said, the reporter should have known he would be interacting with an islamist supremacist imam and that some “Sudden Jihad Syndrome” could break out at any moment and he should have been ready for all eventualities! Once they know you gonna stand your ground and fight for it, muslims will not even fight, they are the worst of cowards! Watch how a single Russian chases away three islamic supremacist bullies with his mere fists:

          Graven

          The one that uses the moniker “Rarely” accused me for not using my real name even-though himself and many others don’t use their real names. BTW, I was saying the Swedish journalist should not have erased the images that he erased under the threat of the muslim imam. Knowing how Western men are cowards that cannot stand their ground and fight back and I am not at all surprised at this! I also shared above a video of how a single Russian man, armed only with his fists chased away three muslim thugs that threatened him.

          Rarely was, of course, calling christianblood a hypocrite for condemning this reporter as a coward when he himself uses a pen name here.

          Since Rarely was not sneering at this reporter, he is not a hypocrite here for using a pen name. This is simple logic.

          This reporter was outnumbered at least two to one, and was at the office of the Islamic school. There were surely many more Muslims on site.

          The idea that this journalist should have physically fought his way out of the Madrassah is absurd.

          …………………………

          This man seems quite brave–a praiseworthy thing. Of course, he did not chase these thugs away by himself–at least two other bystanders join in, as anyone watching the video can see. Of course, their coming to his aid is also a good thing.

          But they did not face an entire school and Mosque all alone, as this journalist would have had to.

          And while I don’t know what christianblood does in his private life, he is *not* physically fighting off Muslim thugs by posting here, as he implies.

    All muslims/muslimas out of the Western Europe. They should go back from where they came. Period! There is no social balance between them and the Europeans. They come to live on the good social welfare, procreate abundantly and then become a slight majority with the intention to impose sharia and to destroy the hosting nation. The history of islam is a vivid and practical example on what their goal is-the islamization of Europe and destroy the Christianity.

    The imam shows up at the at a meeting between the reporter and manger of a Moslem school , so we have an imam who goes to a meeting with a journalist and expects that nothing he says or does should be recorded? Why go to meeting with a journalist if you are unprepared to have a civilized conversation ,or just leave the room with “I can not answer that at this time”? Every thing is a drama of the first order with Islam how dare a native of this non-Islam land question me ,the best of people ! If he enter the room not knowing the reporter was there he could just as easily left the room saying he was unprepared to answer the question at this time .Violence or the threat of violence is the only answer Islam give to non-Islamic people who question them ,that is if when the Moslems just tell happy lies to you about want you want to hear to further their agenda of world conquest.

      Infidel Eric…underbed cat agrees with you sharing this site is important to help expose and educate. This article about a Swedish journalist who visited a muslim school and was asked by an imam to delete pictures, and suddenly had turned irate toward the journalist…who did delete his pictures…did so only for his safety.
      He was outnumbered and would the Swedish police been able to protect him since the imam knew he didn’t want the exposure. The comment that I wanted to express is that the jihadist I think is defined by the “vapors” or the MB as a “special section’. Sort of like the special section that traveled to Turkey and had a “meeting ” with Khoshoggi. Islam is Islam
