Sweden: Muslim woman in hijab with ties to jihadist mosque chosen for municipality’s welcome sign

Feb 26, 2019 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“A Swedish municipality is facing backlash after selecting a local Muslim woman wearing a headscarf to be the ‘poster girl’ for its roadside ‘welcome’ sign. Her past ties to a controversial local imam were also discovered.”

The intent of featuring the hijabi “poster girl” is to flaunt diversity, no matter what that diversity represents. In this case, “diversity” is represented by Suzan Hindi — who once went by the name Nizam Hindi — wearing a hijab. She has ties to a jihad-preaching mosque. Hindi once “explained how having their own prayer house was good for the Swedish municipality’s Muslim community, how aid from Saudi Arabia and Qatar helped to buy and furnish the building, and how listening to the imam is important during the prayer.”

Would Gävle put up a billboard featuring a Christian holding a cross? Or a Jew wearing a kippah?

Only days ago, Swedish Swimming Federation chairwoman Ulla Gustavsson resigned from her job because of the fallout she suffered after voicing accurately that the veil was a “symbol of repression.”

Sweden is a mess, with no-go zones and sharia patrols. Sweden Democrats party secretary Richard Jomshof “compared the situation in Western Europe in general and Sweden in particular with the late Roman Empire in decline,” and expressed the need for “drastic measures to prevent the continent from falling prey to degeneration and Islamization.” Last year, 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,” yet it continues to implement the same policies that are rapidly turning it into a failed state.

One must also remember the laughing stock that Sweden’s “first feminist government” made of itself when its members made their walk of shame before Iranian President Rouhani, “wearing Hijabs, Chadors, and long coats.”

“Rage and puzzlement over Muslim woman in hijab chosen for Swedish municipality’s welcome sign,” RT News, February 25, 2019:

A Swedish municipality is facing backlash after selecting a local Muslim woman wearing a headscarf to be the ‘poster girl’ for its roadside ‘welcome’ sign. Her past ties to a controversial local imam were also discovered.

The image of Suzan Hindi, a local Muslim woman in her early 40s wearing a blue headscarf, now welcomes motorists entering Gavle, a coastal municipality in Sweden about 100km north of Stockholm. The photo is occasionally shown on a digital board along with the message: “Welcome to Gavle!”

The municipality said it was a gesture celebrating the diversity of its community, which counts over 100,000 people of various origins and cultures. But some saw it as a signal of support for suppressing women’s freedoms.

“One should think what this is signaling. Some indeed use this garment, the hijab, voluntarily. But not everyone. This a garment that for millions of women around the world represents a lack of freedom,” said Sweden Democrats MP Roger Hedlund, a member of the municipality council, as quoted by the news website Nyheter Idag.

The Sweden Democrats party has an anti-immigration platform and currently holds 62 seats in the 349-seat Swedish parliament. Samhallsnytt, an online publication reportedly close to the party, was quick to dig Hindi’s past ties to a controversial local imam, who was accused of preaching radical ideas and collecting money for terrorists in Iraq and Syria.

Indeed, in 2009 the woman, who called herself Nizam Hindi at the time, was featured in a story by the left-leaning tabloid Arbetarbladet about the opening of a mosque in Gavle. She explained how having their own prayer house was good for the Swedish municipality’s Muslim community, how aid from Saudi Arabia and Qatar helped to buy and furnish the building, and how listening to the imam is important during the prayer.

The Al-rashideen mosque and its imam, Abu Raad, were involved in a scandal a few years ago, after the leading local newspaper Gefle Dagblad accused him of spreading radical Salafist ideas and collecting money for terrorist groups in Syria and Iraq….

    Good for Sweden Democrats’ MP Roger Hedlund !

    The Islamic veil is the ultimate symbol of misogyny and patriarchy, but the Leftards are in denial of reality.

    This is a clear example of how confused and contradictory the Leftards have become in their narrative.

    What is really going on is the Kalergi Plan of population replacement. They want Third World migrants to replace white conservatives with socialist-voters of other races, as well as to lower the wages.

    This is how fascists took power in the past, by the way, they promised SOCIALISM to the toiling masses and then collaborated with the INDUSTRIALIST KINGS and made life easy for them.

    In that way, the Dems in the US are pretending to be ‘socialist’ while in fact they are fascists keeping company with billionaires.

    Sharia law says the human head SHOULD NOT be depicted. To be Islamicly-correct they should have had a picture of Suzan Hindi from the NECK DOWN ONLY and with the head COMPLETELY cut off from the picture and the empty space above the neck showing the trees and sky.

      Muslims are willing to flout Islamic law on occasion if it benefits Islam, as it does here.

        This isn’t “diversity”, it is incremental suicide. But that’s what most Swedes apparently want…

      Isn’t Islam against images and pictures of any sort? There must surely be some Islumic backlash, then?

        Not if it helps promote jihad against the West…they can get a special exception to those rules…until the Sharia police take complete control. That’s why JihadiLinda Sarsour can wear a ton of make-up yet wear a “hijab” pretending to be “modest” which is actually a symbol of Islamic supremacy in the West but a symbol of repression for women in Islamic country. As long as she is useful for the jihad against America by bashing Trump and bashing Islamophobic America. She can be allies w/ the perverted Leftists and pretend to be for women’s rights, gay rights, black lives matter, etc. while of course hating Jews and Israel whom the Leftists also hate.
        She’s a stealth jihadist making herself a “victim” to get special status.

    The municipality said it was a gesture celebrating the diversity of its community…

    If they wanted to promote “diversity” then why not a sign that exemplified every race, color, and creed? Why not also a Jew wearing his kipa, and a Christian wearing a cross, and a Hindu, an atheist… white, black and brown? And I’m sure there are other abstract ways to portray diversity, too, if one didn’t want to resort to actual human representation. Hire a creative artist to come up with something, or hold a contest for the most creative idea to represent “diversity.” The existing sign doesn’t promote diversity in my opinion, it promotes islamic supremacy and female oppression under the hijab. This is an “in your face” way of saying, “this is muslim territory and you can kiss our a$$,” that’s how I interpret it. But what the hell do I know? I’m just a racist bigot islamophobe that can’t stand murder and slavery for religion.

    The name of the local mosque (Al-Rashideen) SHOULD SOUND ALARM BELLS in the minds of anyone who has one.

    The ‘rashidun’ caliphates, (Arabic: “Rightly Guided,” or “Perfect”) were the first four caliphs of the Islamic era, known for their orthodox, warlike practices … they got their BRUTAL, VICIOUS form of Islamic practice directly from Mohammed.

    They are also called the ‘SALAFEEN’ or the ‘pioneers’ of Islam.

    This is the origin of the word ‘SALAFIST’, meaning a Muslim who endorse the extremely BRUTAL and VICIOUS form of Islam of Mohammed and his brutal companions and which is the official religion of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

    ‘SALAFISM’ is the name of this vicious EXTREMIST ISLAM exported by Saudi Arabia … (I mean Soddy Barbaria). Soon they will have lots of jihadists in the town of Gavle … all ‘rightly-guided’.

      My family has owned a Volvo dealership for decades. Anyone over 40 who has ever been to Sweden knows how rapid the demise has been, and precisely why. There are no Swedish men. My parents travel there but the last time I was in Gothenburg it may have well been Malmo. Society is on a steeply downward trajectory and the women rulers are celebrating it as if they were entering The Enlightenment.

    It begs the question if the city has “100,000 people of various origins and cultures” why was only ONE “origin and culture” chosen to be on the billboard? Why not add pictures of the “other cultures” to signal diversity? I think the whole world–including the followers of Islam itself–is perplexed by why Islam is being FORCED on the people of Europe. I think its just one group of people who have decided that they know whats best for the world and they are just going to force it on the world. But for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. At some point, a group of people will rise up and decide it is not good for the world and the correction will not be pretty.

    And allaakazzam!

    Nizam became Suzan.

    So nizam hindi became “suzan” hindi:it’s that blending-in trick of the muslims again.
    Why not go the whole hog* and adopt a Swedish surname like Olson or Lindqvist?

    {Although given that mohammed is fast becoming one of the top common names in Sweden it may not be worth the effort}

    The muslims have so many dissembling tricks:but then bearing FALSE WITNESS is an islamic speciality.

    DECEIT THROUGH OR BY..

    necessity DARURA
    omission KITMAN
    temporary suspension of sharia MURUNA
    ambiguity TAWRIYA
    for spreading islamTAQQIYA
    faciltationTAYSIN

    What a big bag of islamic tricks! maybe the infidels won’t know them….

    I”ll bet the Swedish govt and “suzan” herself won’t be telling the people that in the koran,muslims are exhorted NOT to mix with infidels as the muslims are the holiest,purest people on Earthk3:110{wash,wash,wash…scrub,scrub,scrub:and yet those islamic sins never go away despite all that false muslim piety and pained ramadan fasting do they?}

    “Oh ye who believe!take not the Jews and Christians for friends”
    k5:51

    Well THAT’S not a good sign for multiculturalism is it?
    And the more of these cultists you bring into your country the WORSE it will get!

    {That name changing trick,to normalize things ,may be a bit like those idiotic converts to islam adopting silly Arabic names -except they don’t want to hide the fact}

    *hog or pig:I realize some may see the term as “islamophobic” or “culturally insensitive”,especially in the multicult land of Sweden.. but that’s just too bad..I won’t apologize:I like Peppa the Pig.

    “Muslim woman wearing a headscarf … the ‘poster girl’ for … roadside ‘welcome’ sign.’”

    Islam advancing?

    ‘ don’t be silly — its still hiding out in the “cave on Thaur.”

    There, safely kept in the head, heart, and dreams of its alleged founder, with him dreaming, claiming, “if you follow him you will be kings of the Arabs and the Persians….But if you do not follow him you will be slaughtered.” (Ibn Ishaq, P. 222.)

    Like, I’m really sure …

    I’d already heard about this insane sign. That she is also pro-Jihadist does *not* surprise.
