If she had criticized Christianity in the same terms, would Åsa Westerberg have been tried, convicted, and fined? You know the answer.
“Åsa Westerberg is sentenced in the case involving the National Examiner,” translated from “Åsa Westerberg döms i mål mot Näthatsgranskaren,” Nya Tider, January 10, 2020 (thanks to Gates of Vienna):
On December 23, the citizen journalist Åsa Westerberg was convicted by the District Court of Södertörn for, among other things, incitement against ethnic groups and gross defamation. She was sentenced to a conditional sentence and SEK 10,400 in fines, as well as SEK 25,000 in damages to the state-funded Tomas Åberg, who runs the news organization the National Examiner. Westerberg claims to have been beaten bloody by police when arrested in her own home.
Åsa Westerberg was prosecuted for writing several posts on the US-based social platform MeWe, posts in which she has wrote critically about Islam and Muslims, as well as writing disparagingly about Tomas Åberg and his activities at the National Examiner. The indictments related to hate speech against a people or group, gross libel and slander.
The penalty was a conditional sentence, SEK 10,400 in fines and SEK 25,000 in damages to Åberg. In addition, she is expected to pay SEK 15,000 for her lawyer.
Westerberg herself denies that she wrote the posts and believes that no evidence was presented during the trial.
– There’s really no evidence, it’s a MeWe profile that you haven’t been able to link to me. They have not presented any IP address, they have not presented any evidence that it was I who wrote the posts, she tells Nya Tider.
However, the court believes that private pictures of her published there strongly suggest that she was the person managing the profile.
Condemned for insulting Islam
Despite her denial, Westerberg was convicted of 16 counts of hatred against a people. This involved the fact that in derogatory terms she commented on videos published by terrorists in the Islamic State, in which various forms of executions took place. Her comments were emotional, with quotes such as “Islam must be eradicated” and “We must unite to eradicate the invasion of pedophile worshipers”.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Her crime is aggravated by the fact that she’s a beautiful blonde. They should make her wear a Glad Bag and a niqab, that’d teach her.
Keys says
LOL !
She might have won her case if she had worn a niqab to her trial.
The details escape me, but there was a judge somewhere who sentenced an Islam criticizer to take lessons on Islam. That’d prove her right.

When did Norway become Sweden? https://rairfoundation.com/swedens-gulag-anti-sharia-activist-asa-westerberg-arrested-abused-by-secret-police/
Norway is the home of the happiest people. Sweden is the home of the doomed people, already losing their freedom.
Westman says
It seems that Sweden is becoming the new Iran.
How is the Sweden regime any different than the Iran regime which denied the killing of its own citizens in the Ukraine airliner and tried to cover it up? The Swedish regime is allowing police to beat up women who speak out against misogynistic ideology, following up with prosecution then lies to the world and their own citizens to cover up the internal chaos caused by non-integrating immigration – just like the Iranian regime’s examples.
It’s difficult to predict which ideology will ultimately subsume Sweden, brutal Marxism or Islam – they both involve forced worship and both are well advanced in Sweden.
WPM says
It seems a race for which Western European country will become fully Sharia compliant ,England, France Germany or Sweden .
Westman says
With only 10 million population, I would bet on Sweden being swamped by Islamic birthrates and the extra burden on their social system. Their future is Malmo, which under the Danes was named Malmhaug, meaning gravel pile. To dust it will return?
Sweden and France are the leading canaries in humanity’s Western coalmine.
Ned Kelly says
well thats the end of MEWE, once thought a safe place to have freedom of speech.

In most Europan countries when somebody doesn´t pay a fine the Court orders that the money is taken from your bank account. The same with traffic fines.
Keys says
The Norwegian Nobel Peace Prize Committee should award her the 2020 conditional winner for
telling the truth in a country where that could be a conditional crime.
mortimer says
We should direct our criticisms against Mohammed the founder and against Islam’s source texts and against the canonical teachings of Islam.
We can criticize the IDEOLOGY of Islam without mentioning Muslims and how they carry out those commands. There are many historical examples and examples from current events about how Muslims interpret those commands. Criticism may be directed against convicted perpetrators, but no one should be slandered before they commit a crime.
Keys says
I am not sure what you are saying here, mortimer.
I think I agree with your point about where to primarily direct criticism here at JW, but we should not slander any person, whether not convicted, justly convicted, or unjustly convicted.
Also, why shouldn’t we be able to criticize a person like Linda Sarsour, even though she has committed no crime, nor has she been convicted of a crime ?
Asta Henriksen says
It might have been in Norway, but Åsa Westerberg was convicted in Sweden.

Your comment reminded me of the Jews the fled Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
Jim says
Would you have stayed in Nazi Germany in the 1930s had you been Jewish?
At some point you see the writing on the wall, and you come to realize that to stay means death or the camps.
Rarely says
Get your facts straight. Many more Jews, if not all, would have left Nazi Germany in the 1930s if other countries had been willing to take them. For the most part those who could did escape. For many there was nowhere to go. Antisemitism was pretty widespread outside Nazi Germany including the USA and Canada. The fate of the MS St. Louis is a good example.
gravenimage says
Yes–many Jews were not able to escape Nazi Germany–and some who did escape, like Ann Frank’s family and many of the passengers of the MS St. Louis, fled to nations that were initially safe, and were later invaded by the Nazis.
Tangata says
It could lead to what the Americans did to their Japanese Americans and what the Australians did to their German citizens in WW2 but given the sensitivities over those issues, will the West have the stomach for it. We know the Chinese are doing it to the Uighurs today.
It could lead to what Myanmar did to the Bangladeshis posing as “Rohingyas” and Isabel & Ferdinand did to the remaining Umayyads in 15th century Spain, but can the West stomach such action?
Whatever it is, the West will lose its “humanity” if it wants to solve this self-inflicted Islamic problem and Porsche is western identity. The alternative is the capitulation to the islamic Empire.
Tangata says
“Preserve” not “porsche”
Carol the 1st says
Using whatever protection is necessary in order to protect children and our freedom from those who’d prefer that we roll over and accept mental and physical slavery will not cause the West to lose its “humanity”. Give the old, predictable predators notice and what results is on their shoulders. We’ll only become like them if we end up turning on each other rather than take a determined stand.

Isn’t Södertörn in Sweden? SEK are Swedish Kronor. Sweden is already under the domination of its new overlords.
mortimer says
Islam is a political ideology and thus to criticize Islam is to engage in political science.
Norway now has a ‘SNOWFLAKE’ law based on conjecture of motive and on hurt feelings, rather than any actual harm done to someone.
‘Eradicate’ simply means to take out a root. To take the root out of Islam is debunk the Koran as a man-made document. There are many convincing, fact-based arguments that show the Koran is man-made and not the ipsissima verba of a deity.
Åsa Westerberg wanted to ‘eradicate’ further Muslim immigration to Norway based on the actions of jihadists.
Her argument is reasonable, because JIHAD is a canonical, obligatory, ‘essential’ teaching of Islam, which ALL Muslims are required to support. To have more Muslims means to have more JIHADISTS and more JIHAD SUPPORTERS. Norway already has many JIHADISTS, many of whom have been convicted or deported.
Norway is crushing the freedom of speech. If we cannot criticize a political ideology, we will soon be subjugated to it.
Police, prosecutors and judges cannot simply conjecture about the motive of person, especially when feelings are involved. And Norwegians should get serious about defending their freedom of expression.
The Leftards are ABSURDLY and IRRATIONALLY supporting a backward ideology which in most ways is antithetical to and incompatible with Leftism.
Islam is the enemy of Leftism.
Westman says
Isn’t Åsa Westerberg from Sweden?

Ashley says
Yes, Westman. All the articles I can find on Asa Westerberg report that she is a Swede.
She denies penning the questionable posts and without an IP address linking her I don’t understand why she was convicted. I know people who have had their identities violated on social media platforms. It is very easy to do.
She strikes me as a woman who would defend her actions, not deny them.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she was railroaded…
mortimer says
OOPS! My carelessness, I was thinking of a recent article about Norway involving something similar.

Not your fault, Mortimer. The headline initially mistakenly identified this as a story out of Norway.

This poor woman. Islam *should* be insulted at every turn. What is praiseworthy about Jihad terror and pedophilia?
If, as she says, Åsa Westerberg was beaten bloody by the police in her own home this is even more horrifying. How low Sweden has sunk.
Carol the 1st says
I don’t see that a “bloody beating” mentioned in the article above. She seems clever enough to wear “brass” knuckles

Carol, this is from the end of the first paragraph of the story above:
On December 23, the citizen journalist Åsa Westerberg was convicted by the District Court of Södertörn for, among other things, incitement against ethnic groups and gross defamation. She was sentenced to a conditional sentence and SEK 10,400 in fines, as well as SEK 25,000 in damages to the state-funded Tomas Åberg, who runs the news organization the National Examiner. **Westerberg claims to have been beaten bloody by police when arrested in her own home.**

Peter WF says
No need to insult it or state an opinion of it. Use facts.
Those perfect man signs that started in Indianapolis only need to state facts from the koran or hadith etc.
The musilims are quite good at cutting their own throats. There is plenty of material to copy.
Most people are in complete ignorance. At a social occasion if someone says it is a religion of peace or similar my routine is –
1) suggest some searches and mention Geert Wilders and family in 24/7 special military police unit(Special Security Assignments Brigade) protection from 2017 and normal police from 2004 to 2017.
Perhaps his book “Marked for Death: Islam’s War Against the West and Me,” written by Wilders in 2012.
2) Then say “You need to discover it for yourself. No amount of my talking will change your opinion.”.
3) then ignore them or move on for they are ignorant.
4) Look forward to seeing them and asking “How are those searches going?”
So simple.

The sharia compliant Swedish state persecutes indigenous Swedes attempting to ensure the continuation of their culture, history, way of life and very lives from invading muslim barbarians. Native Swedes must overthrow their government now or face extinction. Sadly, I think they will go quietly into that goodnight.

Patriotic Swedes should just speak out and then elect someone better. No need to go from general silence to violence.
sheliak says
Respectfully disagree. As in America, no candidate appears on a national ballot in Sweden without globalist vetting. The Swedish state is so far gone at this point that political revolution is the only way forward for survival of the ethnic Swedish nation.

they allowed to lie to unbelievers, but they’re even allowed to lie to each other
Narrated by Um Kulthum bint Uqba
That she heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “He who makes peace between the people by inventing good information or saying good things, is not a liar.”
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 49, Number 857
There are SIX DIFFERENT WAYS of deception that are permissible in Islam: 1) taqiyya )تقیه, 2) kitman, 3) tawriya, 4) taysir, 5) darura, 6) muruna
Taqiyya(Shia) , permissible lies, deceit 1) meaning, 2) method and 3) motives of Islamic jihad ( to hide such deeds) for the purposes of spreading Islam.. or Muda’rat (Sunni): tactical deceit
Tawriya , deceit by deliberate ambiguity .appearing to agree but muslims are in their minds on another subject, inshallah.
Kitman deceit by omission lying, by quoting peaceful verses, though they know they are abrogated by commands of violence verses. An example would be when Muslim apologists quote only a fragment of verse 5:32 this verse 5.32 is a command on the *Jews*, not on muslims. (the sentiment of 5:32 is, in fact, plagiarised from the Torah (that if anyone kills “it shall be as if he had killed all mankind”) while neglecting to mention that the rest of the verse5:33 (and the next) mandate murder in undefined cases of “corruption” and “mischief.”
Darura: deceit through necessity (to engage in something “Haram” or forbidden such as drinking alcohol to exploit non-Muslims).
Taysir: deceit through facilitation (not observing all the tenets of Sharia by ‘making things easier’).
Muruna: ‘flexibility’ or temporary suspension of Sharia to make Muslim migrants appear ‘moderate’ and blend in until Muslims are numerically strong enough to enforce Sharia.
by appearing contrary, like drinking, to hide a muslims real intentions.
plus other variations that are adapted for Mohammad’s purpose.

To find facts and seek truth, must read muhamad biography (sira), quran and hadiths. Some of the so called holy things are very disgusting and disturbing indeed
You must watch ex-muslims u-tube videos and listen their speeches. They know the tactics and deceptions of the islamic scholars. They take great risks with their lives to enlighten people and give good deal references for you to verify. While islamic scholars hide the facts, fabricate and manipulate

Sweden has signaled that they value muslims way above their own (working and tax paying) citizens. If ever a nation was ‘busily heaping up its own funeral pyre’ (Enoch Powell) it is most definitely Sweden. They exhibit their determination to commit cultural suicide as though it is a badge of honour.

“Her comments were emotional, with quotes such as “Islam must be eradicated” and “We must unite to eradicate the invasion of pedophile worshipers”.”
– is not “emotional” – it is common sense. Nazism was “eracicated” – so what is the objection to treating Islam in the same way ? I’m sorry, but I do not see the problem. Nazism was a massive existential threat, and a violent, cruel, and deceptive one. It was eradicated. How is Islam any different ?
By describing her attitudes as “emotional”, those who disagree with her say that there is no case against her. For how can it be a crime to be emotional ?
JamesC. says

tim gallagher says
It’s an interesting photo. I like Westerberg’s defiant pose in the photo. I always admire all these types of people who speak up publicly against the evil nature of Islam, ( although maybe she didn’t say the things she has been convicted of) because it is pretty dangerous to speak up and tell the truth about Islam these days. The Muslims and their mates, the left wing fascist crowd, are likely to harm you or kill you. The Hebdo Muslim terrorist murders and incidents such as Robert Spencer’s poisoning show how speaking up about Islam’s vile nature is dangerous. If the police did harm Westerberg, then that’s appalling. I also would love to see Islam eradicated because I just can’t find anything good about this ideology.
jca reid says
If I were to go to Sweden & spout off this Islamic bilge direct from their texts about murdering, raping enslaving non-Muslims – that’s OK then – Free Speech & all that. Now if I was listening to a guy spouting this off in a Shopping Mall/elsewhere & mutter, “I disagree with that. I’ll get banged up, certainly fined &, as a foreigner possibly even deported & banned from Sweden’s shores forever! The loonies are not just taking over the asylum, but countries as well to endorse this cr*p against this young lady & others!
