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

Sweden: Muslim driver stops bus service, refuses women entry so he and other Muslims could pray

Aug 10, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The principle is always and everywhere the same: in Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to suit Islamic sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to suit Islamic sensibilities.

“Sweden: Muslim Driver Stops Bus Service, Refuses Women Entry for Prayer,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, August 7, 2019:

A Muslim bus driver in Stockholm refused to let a woman board his bus as he and another two others began praying in the vehicle.

The incident took place on Friday evening with the woman later saying that she thought no one would believe her story.

On Monday, local Moderate Party politician Kristoffer Tamsons confirmed the story, stating on Facebook that the driver’s actions were “unacceptable”.

He stated that he had begun an investigation into the matter to seek clarification on how employees are allowed to practice their religion while onboard public vehicles and the standards of the transport boards in general.

According to news website Nyheter Idag, the woman said that she found the driver, along with two boys, kneeling on the seats of the bus engaging in prayer. When she attempted to board and knocked on the door of the bus, they ignored her and left her outside in the rain.

She said that while she was let on the vehicle after the trio had stopped praying, the driver became aggressive because she had disturbed him during his prayer.

The woman, uncomfortable about riding on the bus with the man, called her friend who came and picked her up in his car….

    It’s time for Muslims to taste their own medicine in Non-Muslim majority nations, and to test the extents of how sensibilities get treated for EVERYBODY. If Jews and Christians begin demanding and performing their own counterpart rituals and needs for worshipping in public — society will have to. Come to terms with the larger picture these incidents present.

    It’s like when people shout “Black Lives Matter!”
    ….the only real response is to proclaim louder and more frequently:
    “ALL Lives Matter!!!”

    I ask anyone who is Muslim and reading this to explain to me just what is the purpose of prayer? Does it make Allah any greater? Does it make you a better person and if so in what way? Is praying more important than helping a fellow human being who is seeking to come in out of the rain? Please, tell me. I would really like to know.

    • CogitoErgoSum says

      Aug 10, 2019 at 2:21 pm

      Well, I doubt if any Muslim is going to help me out on this. So I did some searching on my own and I at least came up with the purpose of mankind. See Quran 51:56:

      “I have created the jinn and humankind only for My worship.” (Quran, 51:56)

      The ONLY purpose for the existence of human beings is to worship Allah. So that is what these Muslims on the bus were doing. That is their top priority in life and it comes before all else — even being helpful to other human beings. It is amazing to me that over 1.5 billion people in the world support and follow this philosophy.

    • CogitoErgoSum says

      Aug 10, 2019 at 3:44 pm

      I just thought I would try to find in the Bible what the purpose of human beings is. It talks about man being created after everything else and God placing the man (Adam) in a garden so that the man could work the garden and help keep it fruitful. Because the man was lonely doing this by himself God created a woman (Eve) to be the man’s helper in tending the garden.

      That’s it. Noting about being created to worship God. Man was just to take care of the garden and enjoy what is in it except for the fruit of one tree. But the man and woman didn’t do exactly as instructed and so were evicted from the garden. They were told they would still have to work but it would be more difficult and painful from that time forward. However, still nothing about praying or how to pray or what to pray for. (That must be somewhere else in the book after Jesus comes along).

      Seems to me man’s purpose is just to get back to tending that garden where work is not tiresome and there is no pain or suffering and life is everlasting. The problem is figuring out how to do that.

        Needing to be worshipped is the trait of a despot or Satan. The actual Creator would be quite self-assured and the worship by an entity with the comparative IQ of a carrot would never be the purpose of creation.

      • CRUSADER says

        Aug 11, 2019 at 3:42 am

        Nothing about being created to worship God.

        — Man is creates in God’s Image: spirit, personal, relative, to work and walk with God and to follow and appreciate God’s Ways.

        Man was just to take care of the garden and enjoy what is in it except for the fruit of one tree. But the man and woman didn’t do exactly as instructed and so were evicted from the garden.

        — Original Sin was Lucifer’s Pride, and influencing Man to separate from God under illusion of being able to get along without God’s Guidance.

        They were told they would still have to work but it would be more difficult and painful from that time forward. However, still nothing about praying or how to pray or what to pray for. (That must be somewhere else in the book after Jesus comes along).

        — Read the “Book of Genesis : Rational Bible” by Dennis Prager

        Seems to me man’s purpose is just to get back to tending that garden where work is not tiresome and there is no pain or suffering and life is everlasting. The problem is figuring out how to do that.

        ===================
        “Rational Bible: Genesis”
        by Dennis Prager

        The continuation of Dennis Prager’s bestselling five-part commentary, “The Rational Bible.”

        Why do so many people think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is outdated? Why do our friends and neighbors – and sometimes we ourselves – dismiss the Bible as irrelevant, irrational, immoral, or all of these things? This explanation of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, will demonstrate that the Bible is not only powerfully relevant to today’s issues, but completely consistent with rational thought.

          I tend to be somewhat skeptical of a talking snake. I believe Mohammed also mentioned talking animals. Also there is no sin in eating an apple and if there were any intelligent creator, neither would he/she.

    This happened about 20+ years ago in Bradford, UK, when a bus driver stopped his bus, got out of his cab with his prayer mat, and put it down on the ground next to the bus and started praying. He was either severely reprimanded or sacked. Allah alone knows what happens in the islamic Republic of Bradford these days.

      On a London bus during last Ramadan the bloody wailing was being played full volume on an iPhone.
      When I said “What the hell is that?”
      A person in long curtains replied “It’s the call to prayer”
      Funny I thought I’d got onto my local London bus not walked into a bloody Mosque.
      Britain and the west have sold their souls to the Mohammedans.
      Startlingl.

          Nor have I. Much like the prosecution of Alan Turing, when the truth becomes obvious, the prosecution of Tommy Robinson will be a permanent stain on the leadership of the UK.

          In 2009, following an Internet campaign, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown made an official public apology on behalf of the British government for “the appalling way he was treated”. Queen Elizabeth II granted Turing a posthumous pardon in 2013.

          On 15 July 2019 the Bank of England announced that Turing would be depicted on the United Kingdom’s new £50 note.

    The purpose of that little show is to force the Swedes to accept the fact that they now answer to their new overlords.

    There is no way limp wristed Sweden will tell the Muslims to obey the rules and stop doing their stupid superstitious things. This will continue, and get worse.

          Excellent!

          Read it in good health.

          Next book should be “RISE!” by Brigitte Gabriel

          “Rise, RISE, until lambs become Lions!”

          ################################

          “Rise: In Defense of Judeo-Christian Values and Freedom”

          YOU NEVER REALLY OWN FREEDOM,
          YOU ONLY PRESERVE IT FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.”

          Issuing a bold wake-up call to America, New York Times best-selling author Brigitte Gabriel reveals the people, organizations, and forces at work to dismantle our Judeo-Christian values and freedoms, destabilize and threaten our national security, and radically redefine our very way of life. Gabriel regularly faces death threats from terrorists, condemnation from critics, and attacks from the “PC police,” yet she refuses to back down.

          Rise will empower you by:

          Providing a plan for preserving your values and freedoms before it’s too late
          Educating you on how to identify behaviors and ideas that could threaten the local community and ultimately national security
          Motivating you to unite with other patriots who wish to preserve our endangered Judeo-Christian values and freedoms
          Helping you understand what you can do to fight the forces that aim to undermine our nation

          This book is critical to your family and your personal freedom.

          Will you sit back and watch the greatest country our world has ever known slowly fade away? Or will you rise?

    That islamic virtue-signalling love of “praying” in public.

    Such contrived “holiness”,such laughable FALSE PIETY of the muslims!

    These devout muslims are so holy they haven’t time to act in a decent manner towards other human beings.

    But..

    Did you know that al lah calls muslims hypocrites?

    Why?

    “Lo!the hypocrites{i.e allah’s muslims}seek to beguile allah.
    But it is he who beguileth them.
    when they stand up to worship they do so languidly and TO BE SEEN BY MEN
    and are mindful of allah but little”
    Koran 4 v 142

    “TO BE SEEN BY MEN”:If you “pray” in PUBLIC ,TO BE SEEN BY MEN then you are clearly putting on a holy show of false piety.

    You are a HYPOCRITE according to allah.

    Compare this with what Jesus says:

    “Make certain you do not perform your religious duties IN PUBLIC so that PEOPLE WILL SEE WHAT YOU DO.If you do these things IN PUBLIC ,you will NOT have any reward from your father in Heaven”
    Matthew 6 v 1

    So praying in public,putting on a holy show is worthless and hypocritical.

    It seems allah and Jesus agree on this:putting on a PUBLIC show of religious piety to be seen by others is sheer HYPOCRISY.

    Is it likely these “holy” yusufs like this bus driver even know that their own koran CONDEMNS Public displays of such fraudulent piety?

    Do you see how they clearly want TO BE SEEN BY MEN?

    Of course muslims don’t even know their own koran.

    In the United States, a worker must be able to perform the essential functions of the job with, or without, reasonable accommodation.

    The ability to drive a bus and pick up passengers is an essential function of the job.

    Stopping the bus to pray – and not letting in a passenger – is not a reasonable accommodation.

    Perhaps Sweden should look at US law on this – and use as a template. In the United States, the bus driver would be fired.

    Muslims in Sweden will keep pushing more and more as long as they are being accommodated. They have yet to receive any appreciable pushback…

    The horrible future of Europe… it will be normal. Why we have to accept everything? Some years later maybe they will force us to join to their prayers and to fast at Ramadan.

    He stated that he had begun an investigation into the matter to seek clarification on how employees are allowed to practice their religion while onboard public vehicles and the standards of the transport boards in general.

    This shouldn’t need an investigation. If you work in the public sector and religion interferes with your professional activity, either change religion or change your job. Period.

    That he left these passengers out in the rain makes this story all the worse. There have been similar stories from France and the UK, and probably from other places.

      Like you, gravenimage, Muslim supremacism was exactly what came to my mind when I read this report. Non-Muslims are always supposed to fall into line with Islam,( although I suppose incidents that go this far are rare), which the Muslims believe is so superior. No consideration is shown towards non-Muslims. There’s always this bad attitude that Muslims have towards non-Muslims. It makes Islam totally incompatible with our societies and, I believe, it is a waste of time trying to get along with Muslims. There’s always this combative Muslim attitude. It’s them or us when it comes to Islam. Also, by contrast, you’d never get a Christian or a Buddhist bus driver carrying on and inconveniencing people like this. This Muslim should have been sacked immediately, but probably won’t be. It’s an interesting comment up above by DiploNerd that this wouldn’t be allowed to happen in a Muslim majority country.
