Finland: Leftist Muslim migrant politician admits he fabricated story about man who told him “go back to Somalia”

Nov 13, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Here we go again. There are so few instances of actual “Islamophobia” that the victimhood narrative and hysteria surrounding Muslims in the West has to be constantly shored up with fake hate crimes.

“Helsinki city councillor apologises for false story about abusive taxi passenger,” Yle, November 11, 2019:

Social Democratic Party politician and Helsinki city councillor Abdirahim “Husu” Hussein has admitted to fabricating a story about removing a passenger from his taxi after being verbally attacked.

On Monday Hussein retracted his story and apologised for lying. He wrote in a tweet that as a decision-maker he should act honestly and acknowledged that he had betrayed voters’ trust.

“I apologise for my actions and for lying. As a decision-maker it is my duty to be honest. I depend on my voters’ trust and I have now broken that trust. I shall do everything I can to restore trust in my actions,” Hussein said.

“The [SDP] council group will decide on disciplinary action and I will accept the consequences,” he added. Yle was not able to reach Hussein for comment….

About one week ago, Hussein tweeted about an incident in which he claimed that he had stopped along a motorway to order a verbally abusive passenger to leave his taxi. He later modified the story to clarify that he left the passenger at a bus stop and not at the roadside.

At the time Hussein wrote that among other things, the passenger told him to go back to Somalia to defend his country. Later, in a blog post, Hussein provided additional details about the incident and described the individual as asking about his background and reasons for being in Finland.

On Monday Hussein told daily Helsingin Saonmat that while he did have “a man behaving in a racist manner” in his taxi, he did not remove the passenger from the vehicle. He said that he tweeted about the incident to spark discussion about the harassment that taxi drivers face.

“I wrote the tweet on Sunday because I was angry,” he said.
Story falls apart under scrutiny

Hussein’s taxi operator, Taksi Helsinki, said it had looked into the incident and found that his story did not match up with GPS data from the taxi. On Monday, the firm tweeted that no passengers had been asked to leave a taxi.

“In response to questions relating to Husu’s claim we confirm that based on an investigation, no one was abandoned and no passenger was removed from a ride. The matter has been discussed with Husu and the matter has been dealt with in this respect.”…

    So he should resign for being a liar.

    He should resign and be made to pay back any money he has received from being elected to the position. He pretends that in this one instance that he has lied. But, moslims are taught to lie; they are commanded to lie in order to further islam and its goals of world domination.

    Any time a moslim makes up a story about being subjected to hate, abuse, harassment, etc, due to being moslim, they are doing so to advance islam; to stop anyone from being critical of them or their evil belief system, and its evil, demonic behavior. They don’t just lie to “get ahead in business” as some others do, but each step is taken to advance their goals of human subjugation to islam and its fake ‘god.’

    Maybe he should marry ilhan omar:polygamy is an islamic thing.

    He may not be her brother but that’s ok.

    Actually Omar might prefer a White American like her Democrat consultant boyfriend Tim…..

    {Not that I care about what people do in their private lives:but…..isn’t omar the one always giving out about ……White folk?And isn’t her “prophet” muhammed…WHITE?Isn’t she always saying how White Americans are more likely to be terrorists than muslims.

    muslims never get IRONY}

    An Arabic/Mohammadan proverb that describes the tactic:
    “Tamaskan tatamakan” (“Show a victim’s face [and] take over” or “Show a victim’s face [and] you will win”).

    Finland is not the best country for Moslems to be. I suggest Hussein go to Syria instead. He is a liar and cannot be trusted.

    Why is it only European countries can be colonized by outsiders? The colonizers aren’t there to be good citizens, they are there to turn their new homes into the warzones they left behind.

    Fabricating things?
    He is following his prophet, the “beautiful pattern of conduct”, who admitted:

    “I have fabricated things against Allah and have imputed to him words which he has not spoken.”

    So I tell him go back to the Islam paradise called Somalia.

    Eternally offended.
    Arrogantly supremist.
    Commanded to hate, invade, fight unbelievers, and lie to further Islam.
    It’s in their book – apparent commands given by the god of hatred and death.
    Islam needs to go back to the desert from where it came.
    Its utter hatred of all that is not Islam is a cancer wherever it goes.

    It now appears that Husu also has three convictions for social welfare fraud from years 2001, 2002 and 2006, of which he also lied about when he joined his party the social democrats.

      This is not the first time Abdirahim “Husu” Hussein has claimed to be a victim–he claimed he got a hate letter which looks really dodgy. Then as you note he also lied about his convictions for welfare fraud. There is no way he should be able to maintain his seat on the Helsinki city council.

      And he will not stop here–he has also run for Parliament this year, and will likely try again.

    Is gross misconduct not grounds for immediate dismissal in Finland?

      He has been suspended from his city council position until june.

        Well, that’s something, Hanna.

    On Monday Hussein told daily Helsingin Saonmat that while he did have “a man behaving in a racist manner” in his taxi

    Asking “ about his background and reasons for being in Finland” isn’t “behaving in a racist manner”.

    He said that he tweeted about the incident to spark discussion about the harassment that taxi drivers face.

    Rubbish – he made it about his race and nationality, not being a taxi driver. How about the harassment bus drivers face?
