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

Sweden: Infidel teachers wear niqab to protest burqa ban

Jan 17, 2020 2:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Sweden has been so welcoming to the flood of migrants from Muslim countries that its own country it is now unrecognizable, prompting headlines in the mainstream media such as this one from the Telegraph: “Sweden is a perfect example of how not to handle the Great Migration.” Politico ran an article entitled “Sweden’s violent reality is undoing a peaceful self-image.”

Sweden is now plagued with bomb attacks stemming from Muslim gang activity. A shocking 230 bomb blasts in 2019 alone prompted a Swedish politician to say that the government has lost control of the country. Still, Sweden persists in its laxity.

After the Sweden Democrats proposed a bill in 2018 to go “against the full-covering Muslim veil in all public places”, the local council in southern Sweden, Skurup, introduced a ban on “religious headgear” in primary schools and preschools. Following this decision, non-Muslim teachers and staff have adopted the headscarf and, in some cases, donned the whole face veil (also known as ‘niqab’) to show their support for their Muslim students….Marit was one of six non-Muslim teachers to show their support, saying: “The students get excited when they see that we also have veils. They feel that we support them.

The current Swedish leadership and its Leftist following are unteachable.

“Non-Muslim teachers wear Islamic veil in protest of local ‘burqa ban’ in Sweden,” Islam City 21, January 15, 2020:

After the Sweden Democrats proposed a bill in 2018 to go “against the full-covering Muslim veil in all public places”, the local council in southern Sweden, Skurup, introduced a ban on “religious headgear” in primary schools and preschools.[1]

Following this decision, non-Muslim teachers and staff have adopted the headscarf and, in some cases, donned the whole face veil (also known as ‘niqab’) to show their support for their Muslim students.

Marit was one of six non-Muslim teachers to show their support, saying:

“The students get excited when they see that we also have veils. They feel that we support them.”[2]

This action has been taken as a protest against the local council’s decision, but also an objection to ‘ban the burqa’ all over the country.

The chair of Malmo’s Young Muslims, Tasnim Raoof, argues that the ban denies “Muslim women’s right to their…democratic freedom of choice.” After the Skurup council implemented the ban, Raoof went on to say, “this criminalises Muslim girls.”[3]

The burqa ban in Skurup has allowed a new ripple of racism and hate to take place, which in the wider scale will eventually become a wave that is spread across the whole of Sweden. This ban is not something new, as we have seen the same thing happening in many other countries across Europe such as Belgium, France, Denmark, and Austria.

Most notably, Non-Muslim women went out of their way and risked their safety to fight against this ongoing marginalisation of Muslim women.

Mattias Liedholm, the headmaster at Prästamosseskolan School, disagreed with the decision, stating that neither he nor his fellow colleagues will support the ban.

    Might as well wear a swastika armband. A lot of Quislings posing as patriots in Sweden (and yes I know Quisling was Norwegian but I felt the comparison was apt and geographically close enough).

      These Pollyannish Swedish teachers do not know that the Islamic scarf is the ULTIMATE symbol of misogyny. Why do they want to celebrate or defend MISOGYNY? Are they nuts?

      In fact, the Islamic scarf is used to hide the attractiveness of women so that they may be reserved solely for men in their own clan and family. The veil is FINANCIAL in its motivation … namely, to keep money in the family and clan.

      Is that a WORTHY GOAL for Sweden’s very fake feminists to support? No, it is not. The Swedish teachers are supporting the disempowerment and victimization of women under Islamic patriarchy!

        One would suspect that many citizens of Rome thought supporting the ways of barbarians was chic and so useful as the new labor and soldiers. Rome needed cheap labor to keep the birth-controlled hedonism in full swing. History is rhyming in Sweden.

        It’s got to be a sickness.

        I know that many here at JW often mention how Islam is a mental illness, but leaders of countries like Sweden who allow Moslems in under the guise of “refugees” have got to be mentally ill, too.

        Kind of like how Globalism is a mental illness, too.

        • mortimer says

          Jan 18, 2020 at 11:58 am

          Abad, they are not clinically ‘mentally ill’. The Swedish Leftards are high-functioning people with WRONG IDEAS.

          The Swedish Leftards believe in a world that ‘might-be’, rather than the world as it is. They tell themselves lies and through repetition, they believe them.

          Their ideological glasses distort their view like the funny mirrors at the fair.

          They believe in a Utopian world of peace and love, while ignoring the enormous human potential for criminality. They totally disregard the aggressive, supremacist ideology of Islam and pretend to themselves that Islam is benign.

          The Leftards are using the Muslims to destroy 2,000 years of European culture and traditions, so they may usher in the Brave New World of socialist-globalist-commercialism in which every person will be monitored by cameras and microphones from cradle to grave.

          They believe in conformity to their rules. They are amoral.

          This begs the question,

          What is the mechanism in Swedish heads that tells them to ignore centuries of Islamic violence in order to believe it is peaceful ?

          What is the origin of this idiotic mechanism ?

      • Dawne says

        Jan 18, 2020 at 7:42 am

        Mortimer – this was exactly what I was going to post! It beggars belief that Swedish women, who proclaim themselves to be radical feminists, will not only tolerate but encourage the veiling of women. These teachers need to read Yasmin Mohammed’s book “Unveiled: How Western Liberals Empower Radical Islam”.

        I wish we would ban the burka & niqab in the UK.

    • william carr says

      Jan 18, 2020 at 6:10 am

      actually ‘quisling’ is become an accepted term for somebody who collaborates. It is in the Oxford English Dictionary and most other dictionaries

    • william carr says

      Jan 18, 2020 at 6:13 am

      Nothing pleases Muslims more than seeing infidels surrender to Islam. These teachers should be sacked but as their principal apparently agrees with them it will not happen

  2. Gork says

    Jan 17, 2020 at 2:08 pm

    I think there is a term called “useful idiots” used to describe supporters of Lenin. However that’s giving these people too much credit. I would call them useless idiots.

    • mortimer says

      Jan 17, 2020 at 5:41 pm

      Agree that these teachers are ‘IDIOTS’ because they have ASSUMED they understand the Islamic veil as a symbol of piety when in fact the veil is PURE MISOGYNY.

      A teacher should be WELL-INFORMED before commenting. They are ILL-INFORMED and seriously mistaken … not good enough for a teacher.

      The Islamic veil (I repeat) is NOT a symbol of piety.

    • gravenimage says

      Agreed, Gork.

    Jan 17, 2020 at 2:20 pm

    These Infidel people are dhimmis who have not yet learned their place. Non-Muslims are not supposed to dress like Muslims … so they can be humiliated by real Muslims and kept in their proper place by their Muslim overlords. The “filthy creatures” will learn eventually, one way or another.

      I feel exactly the same, Ade, when I come across reports like this one. How can any western person support this repulsive style of clothing and the complete oppression of women that is behind it? Fortunately not all of us, but, yes, like you, I’m also convinced that many people do seem to have gone mad.

  6. Rarely says

    Jan 17, 2020 at 2:34 pm

    It’s such attractive attire but are these female or male teachers or both? Hard to tell.
    It’ll be interesting to see how this type of clothing will fit with Sweden’s historically liberal sexual expression. Talk about two worlds colliding.

      BTW. This stuff might find itself a little out of place at Stockholm’s next gay pride parade.

      • Rufolino says

        Jan 19, 2020 at 3:47 am

        Is there a “gay pride” parade in Stockholm ?

        It won’t be long before there isn’t. It will simply become too dangerous.

    Disgraceful, collaborators.

    “No political system or material power should put hindrances in the way of preaching Islam. It should leave every individual free to accept or reject it, and if someone wants to accept it, it should not prevent him or fight against him. If someone does this, then it is the DUTY of ISLAM to fight him until either he is KILLED or until he DECLARES HUS SUBMISSION.”

  8. E T says

    Highly recommended the collaborators read Submission by Thomas Quiggin.

    If their oppressed students were forced to wear shackles – would the teachers also act like they supported slavery and also wear shackles?

    It is OPPRESSION! While women are being imprisoned in Iran for daring to take off their covering – these western teachers stand with oppression???!!!!

    Wake up. You are so WOKE that you are defending oppressing women.

  10. Max Brenner says

    Jan 17, 2020 at 3:39 pm

    Now they should be told that they can’t take their burkas off.
    Then they will have the true taste of Islam.

    • owensgate says

      Jan 17, 2020 at 4:21 pm

      Exactly. The enthusiasm by which Westerners sk up to islam is astonishing and bewildering; and WHY does that silly strumpet on CBS evening news wear that burka not-quite-covering-her-‘doo? Is it the law over there in Iran that foreigners must cover in public? Even while “reporting” from an area not exactly in view of the public? Or is she really moslem. If she is, isn’t wearing a burka 2/3rds back from her forehead a violation of sharia? Wear it right or not at all, for heaven’s sake! /sark

    • mortimer says

      Jan 17, 2020 at 5:45 pm

      A woman I know makes a point of asking veiled Muslims, ‘What will they do to you if you take it off?’

      Jan 18, 2020 at 9:00 am

      Or send them to Saudi Arabia or iran or somalia on an exchange program.

      The silly naive western infidel women will have to wear those hijabs for a few months whilst the iranian/Saudi women are permitted to live in the West without any need to wear the hijab.

  11. E T says

    Jan 17, 2020 at 4:46 pm

    Max Brenner, thank you for your brilliant comment, it would be great if they were forced to wear the ghost outfits, and maybe they need a little “hit” and their husband’s should be allowed four wives. Do they know that some of their students may also be wives?

    Shari’ah law: Women captives of Jihad may be forced to have sex with their captors, now owners.

    Slaves are allowed.

    Male owners may have sex with slave women, even prepubescent slave girls.

    The teachers should know that the Muslim Brotherhood hoods state: “The house of War is everyland where Muslims do not YET rule——and where Islamists will FIGHT until they PREVAIL no matter how long it takes.”

    They should know the Muslim ISIS fighters cut the heads of 50 very young girls they used as sex slaves, when they were fleeing an area. They paraded a ten year old naked, pregnant girl, through the streets with a collar around her neck.

    Damn them, (the teachers) for their stupidity, If they can read maybe they should take a look at all the grooming gangs, or would they support them also?

  12. somehistory says

    Jan 17, 2020 at 8:48 pm

    It boggles the mind.
    In 2003 and after, the U.S. military and other military from different countries, went into afghanistan…and photos were taken, video was made, and much commentary was spoken…so very much of it about the clothing the women and even little girls were made to wear.

    I recall Diane Sawyer and Ashliegh Banfield wearing the required clothing in order to walk the streets and talk about what they were seeing. And much of the talk centered on the clothing of the women and the beatings they got from the “taliban”…students…for any and every little infraction of the “un-law” that these male moslims enforced.

    Much was said about the poor plight of these women and girls…being made to dress in the full burqa, niqab, garbage bag, grim reaper attire, etc. and the fact that they didn’t get to go to school, learn to read, etc.

    And money was collected to help these poor females so they could see the light of the sun and feel it on their faces and hands and arms.

    And now…only 17 years later…and these Swedish “teachers”….just what are they teaching with this?…dressing up just as the poor women and girls in afghanistan were…and are…in their oppression. And this is lauded as something good and worthy and the “students get excited.”

    It boggles the mind. And the stomach roils.

    Jan 17, 2020 at 9:05 pm

    These foolish infidel women did not need to be beaten in to submission, they volunteered instead. I don’t think they are going to like it when submission becomes man-datory.

    Sweden: Infidel teachers wear niqab to protest burqa ban
    ………………..

    The very definition of useful idiots…

    More:

    “The students get excited when they see that we also have veils. They feel that we support them.”
    ………………..

    You bet they do, These Muslim supremacists see Infidels bowing down to Islam, which they feel excited about.

    How do girls hoping they can take the slave rag off at school feel? I think that would be something closer to despairing than excited, but who cares about them?

    • E Ta says

      Exactly, GI, who cared about the 19,000 very young girls in the UK who were savagely abused by the filthy, sex gangs, barbarians? What kind of adults would allow this to happen? ABSOLUTELY SICKENING.

    • Rufolino says

      Jan 19, 2020 at 3:53 am

      Get real.

      “Deportations” are never going to happen in Europe.

      Given a choice Europe would prefer cultural destruction to being politically incorrect.

    Jan 18, 2020 at 10:09 pm

    I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that islamic texts state that kufr cannot dress as moslems, but can’t find i the quote yet. Besides that, are these teacher acting against their own cultural marxist prohibition for cultural appropriation? Soon, the teachers will apologize, I’m sure.

  24. Arian Smith says

    I have zero empathy for the Swedes. They did this to themselves. Enjoy those niqabs.

  25. E T says

    Jan 19, 2020 at 1:52 pm

    The Swedes did NOT do this to themselves, the politicians did to the people, they are doing the same in Canada and the left loons, collaborators are helping to Islamize Canada. Justine Trudeau and his left loon MPs should removed from office. Stop the madness, push back.
