An open letter to all Swedish political parties that are participating in this years election.
This document describes the Muslim’s current agenda in Sweden where they have decidedly less power and numbers than in France, Spain or the Netherlands. First and foremost in the opening acknowledgement they note there recent electoral success in Denmark in being able as a voting block to be able to swing the election and put in power the party that would most grant them their desires. And so this letter is of demands has been put up for bids from Sweden’s rival self seeking self serving political parties – this letter is a request for a thinly veiled treason as the Muslims here can not clearly discern the horse that they are to ride.

The stated goal of these people is one to overthrown every nation by the spread of Islam.

Hello! If we are to succeed in engaging Swedish muslims so that they will participate in the election in September 2006, we should take note of the following demands and wishes from the Muslim minority in Sweden. This is a clear declaration of their desire to overturn the election in Sweden in not too many months.

I have not seen clear signals from all parties as to whether they'll accept such wishes. (They do not see the betrayer they need so they are asking for him to contact them) We want to see the most important demands as a part of the political programs. Otherwise there is the risk that the majority of the muslims will remain on their couches on election day. (If the betrayer does not speak the muslims will sit this out and at the next election because of high state paid birth rates there will be ever more at every election cycle – thus increasing the temptation of the political party of betrayal in Sweden – And if the Muslim’s can get more Immigrant Muslims legal or illegal in the country, this will further speed their stated goal of overthrow.)

Muslims are fed up with broken election promises, and therefore they wish concrete suggestions to show that we care. It won't hurt if our elected representatives or new candidates would set aside an hour to read our open letter that is sent to all established parties.

Kind regards

Mahmoud Aldebe



The Forgotten Minority

Islam in Sweden, a short history.

Sweden didn't really get its first contact with Muslims before immigration began during the 1940s, when the first Muslims came from the east, that is from Finland and Estonia, they were Tatars and it was they who established the first house prayer assembly in Stockholm 60 years ago. The Muslims who immigrated during in the 1960-1970 period was part of the big labour immigration. Between 1970 and 1990 the immigration changed character, a flood of refugees began to make up a much larger share of the number of Muslims in Sweden. The Islamic community calculates the number of Muslims in Sweden to be roughly 470 000 people. Everyone that through birth belongs within a tradition [culture] traditionally dominated by Islam, who accepts the Islamic declaration of faith, belongs to a Muslim people, is descendant of Muslims, have a first name that belongs in an Islamic tradition, and who themselves identifies with or considers themselves part of this religion or tradition are Muslims. There are some immigrant Muslims that don't want contact with the Islamic community and that considers themselves secularized, and on occasion we have heard that they are objecting to being considered Muslims. It is hard to calculate the exact numbers but from our analysis and mapping, we can assume that there are approximately 15% of the Swedish Muslims that want nothing to do with Islam and that want to be considered as Swedes with an ethnic background. (This is completely unacceptable to Islam – and this according to “Sharia law” they must deal swift and immediate death to these 11,000 apostates. For no Muslim or their seed can ever cease to be Muslim. This is saying that of their number 11,000 are not showing up to their mosques, for prayer and teaching. – This is probably the most revealing statement about Islam that I have seen – in there side handed admission that they keep strict lists of their faithful and unfaithful, and these lists are an accounting of the habits of ‘all their people”.

I need to digress here that in the rise of the antichrist it will be unlike the Roman persecutions in that they dragged Christians into court and had them bow and worship a statue of the emperor of Rome and make certain renunciations and certain confessions and then they were freed – What Islam seeks is the total immersion into their sin – a total immersion into sin that the Lord showed me in the sin of Eve – so that in the Muslim antichrist all shall be forced to continually sin against Christ and God as they will keep strict lists and any deviation shall be deemed as apostasy and punished by death according to Sharia law

Once again our technology only helps them to weed out these people persecute and execute and when this technology is put in Muslim countries like Iran you will see mass genocide against all the unfaithful and voices of dissent among their ranks once they can through our technology finger them.)

Swedish Muslim rights and duties, special laws for religious freedom.

Regarding the problems that concern the legal status of Muslims - concerning everything from laws regarding residency (making illegals legal and increasing their numbers)- and work-permits,(granting illegals the surreptitious right to come and work in Sweden with the real purpose of after they are there to grant them citizenship with its coveted voting rights) denominational issues (religious freedom other than islam) and the legal status of their religious functions to possibilities to, with the support of religious freedom, to practice and live according to the message of Islam - the situation various enormously. (they want islam to be recognized as a national religion and have the Government establish its rights and powers – which then would only increase as pressure is brought to bear.)

We have struggled, often with little progress, to make Islam accept on the same terms, and with the same (legal) rights, as any other religion in the country. Despite that you talk about the same general rights for all religions, there are still in practise big differences between the ability of different religions to work in the community.

We require special laws protecting religious freedom since all the conventions regarding human rights that Sweden have committed itself to, we are thinking especially of the UNs declaration of human rights and the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights (ECPHR) all imply the right to create special laws protecting religious freedom. Creating such specific laws is really about religious freedom since here in Sweden there has been full religious freedom since 1951. (They site the UN and Sweden’s a religious freedom act passed in the land 50 years ago, as points of weakness that they see will grant them governmental power that they can wield against the citizens of sweden.)

Swedish Muslims have become more and more politically aware of their rights in the community and now they wish for these rights to be respected. (this is due to their surprising routing success in neighboring Denmark and the Netherlands) To be able to affect Swedish politics (they state here clearly that they want to shape the nation through politics into their image and likeness) and to maintain an effective dialogue and conversation between Swedish Muslims and the different organs of the community [state in this context] we present these practical and necessary solutions that must be carried out if you wish a successful integration policy and a diversified Sweden.

Svenska muslimer är en svensk minoritet

Religious freedom should apply to everyone, and the UNs different declarations in this regard are applicable even in Sweden. So in reality all laws should be altered or adjusted after the needs of all minority groups in Sweden. (read this only as us Muslims – In Saudi Arabia where Mecca is in the past 30 days it was announced that no religion or believer can be allowed to exist except for Islam – and whether the Swedes shall rollover and hand them their nation or they will have to war with them from other the other nations in the EU surrounding them that they will over throw the law in Sweden will be made to accommodate Islam and Islam alone and none other will be allowed to exist. )

We Muslims are a large minority group in Sweden, but lack status and the laws created to protect religious freedom must be applied in their widest meaning so that they don't just apply to certain minorities and the majority, but rather they should applied even to the Muslim minority in the country. (Islam alone can exist – and “freedom” and voting shall will bring all to Islam) The problems that exist in regards to the Swedish religious freedom is that it is a Pietistic coloured understanding of individualised religion, (Individual religious choice must cease as the law of the land) that lie behind the Swedish laws regarding religious freedom, whereas for the Muslim minority it is the collective expressions of the religion that are central. (it is only as Islam works as a mind numbed collective allowing no individual thought or expression that they have power) One considers the religion (Islam not the church or Swedish individualism) more like a way of life than a belief system. It is also a part of ordinary life, with its social rules (the church no longer has secular laws it can uphold – but Islam does) and judgments,(the church no longer can issue death decrees for heresy or variance or make war – but Islam does daily with fatwa’s ) through which religious allegiance is displayed, (The alliegence he speaks of is Islam alligence of death whereby the unfaithful and any that would seek to depart from their religion are slain and all their household – all that enter are enslaved and live in fear all their days) and the religion practised, not (This is either a lie or mistranslated because Islam is based wholly upon attendance of prayer and sermons – otherwise the people would be allowed time for free though and diversity) primarily through prayer and sermons and the common religious language that is Arabic. This is why certain Islamic religious practises come outside what is covered by religious freedom.

The Muslim minority criticises this narrow definition of religion that is the basis of the Swedish laws regarding religious freedom. Specific laws are required when it comes to the legal protection of the Muslim minority. With such protection we can request corrections of the Swedish family law to adapt it to Islam. It is this law that is the most important to Swedish Muslims: marriage, divorce, child protection, and raising underage children.

It is also a matter of having the right to take a vacation on some of the two major (Islamic) religious holidays, and (We must) to be allowed a few hours time off in the middle of the day on Friday to participate in the Friday prayers. In such matters we special legislation is seen as essential to protect the Muslim identity of the Swedish Muslims. (To force this growing 15 percent of Muslims that have departed from the faith in this national climate back into the Muslim fold.) The ability to live entirely according to Islamic family law if you wish to do so is very limited in Sweden [it is very difficult to do so], unless we get status as a separate minority. (They want the Swedes to grant them super citizenship that they would be above all the nations laws)



Islamic religious community in Sweden

In Sweden there are more than 185 local Islamic assemblies, but only a very few mosques. Several mosque projects are underway. The community views this as a threat and many individuals and groups are loudly protesting. Counties and provinces ought to elevate all the so called basement- and apartment mosques around the country to equal status with Churches, if the local politicians want to bring about a practical integration in the country. The resistance to mosque building comes from certain persons and from organised groups. The arguments that are most often used against mosque building are those linked to the environment [surroundings] in that a mosque would lead to increase traffic, and among other things increased air pollution, and noise. The mosque has been seen as an encroachment on parkland. The negative views on mosque building also contains comments and questions about Islam and Muslims. People talk about the immigration numbers and if they'll increase, about friction between Swedes and Muslims as well as internally between Muslim groups that frequent the area. Many people are openly saying that the limit has been reached, and that the Muslims should accept the customs of the place they've come to. The threat [damage] to Swedish values and culture is often held up as an argument. That one thinks ill of or is afraid of Islam as a religion or movement is also often given as a reason among those that argue against mosque building. This strong ill will can hardly be changed by counter argument and is nourished by ignorance or mythology [bigotry, fantasy] about what it [Islam] stands for. Construction of mosques and financing this construction is a big problem for Muslims in Sweden, the basement facilities that exist are no longer sufficient as they are getting much too cramped. This is being cited as the growing failure of Islam in the nation this is a choke point and the young are rejecting Islam because of the their cramped meetings in basements and bicycles sheds and this is also making Islam disunified as they have not the big meetings and can not go in parks and use bull horns to preach because of all the ordinances that limit them as well as all other region – these laws actually promote the house meetings of the early church and will make it far more difficult for islam to increase in this nation and later for the church to be utterly wiped out as the growth of a spiritual people would be hidden with no mega churches but it would be based upon households being converted )



Basement People

Muslims are called the basement people by young Muslims that are loathe to participate in activities in such underground facilities, often hinting at the problems caused by the local environment such as poor air quality in basements that often lack proper ventilation. Many get sick from underground facilities or bicycle sheds.


Swedish Muslims wishes and hopes.

A mosque in every city or county would have significant value to the Muslims of the country. It would be seen as a recognition of the existence of Muslims and Islams right to exist in Sweden. The right to be a Muslim in Sweden is strengthened if there is legislated religious freedom that gives Muslim groups the right to build their own mosques without any obstacles and it would be a sign from the Swedish majority community that religious freedom can work in practice as well. A mosque has several roles other than simply being a place of worship. The mosque is the house of a great people that functions as a social and cultural institution, a place to meet, where the contact with the Swedish community and its fellow citizens happens daily. The demand to be allowed to build Mosques is a step in a process of Muslim integration that is occurring in Sweden. (This is actually a step to the integration of all of Swede to Islam – and I note here that by granting these people as a minority super-citizenship will not be passed on to their Swedish converts for they will always be second class Muslims. And never have the same rights as ethnic muslims – consider who are the Imams around the globe – that they send muslims in to all nations to run their mosques) It is a matter of fundamental needs to keep and practice your religion, but also to be able to improve the status of Muslims and gain respect and understanding. In such a situation it would greatly increase the sense of loyalty towards Sweden as your new homeland, despite being a Muslim.

The creation of interest free loans.

The construction of mosques ought to be financed by interest free loans (they are seeking the government to build their mosques – note that their oil rich nations do not build mosques -- only in special places, where they deem it of great strategic importance.) as an alternative to voluntary contributions from abroad. The counties should take the responsibility to either provide security for these interest free loans or to lend money without interest for the construction of mosques for its Muslim inhabitants. (Does Sweden do this with churches or synagogues?) The Swedish state should introduce the term interest free loans and borrowers should have the right to deduct payments on interest free loans from the tax returns on the same grounds as loan interest.

Islam and the school

To integrate Islam into Swedish schools reduces the demand for separate private Islamic schools. (Swedish shools should become Islamic in the Us we have sen some steps toward this in California in the last three years)

This includes elevating native language and religion [Islam] to the level of normal subject in the curriculum, where Muslim children have the possibility of being educated in homogenous groups using their own native language and their own religion in the County schools. Imams and native language teachers should have status as ordinary teachers in Second Native Language and religion. In this way the demand for separate private schools would lessen and many of the problems Muslim students meet daily in school would easily be eliminated.

Education in school would not be held in a different language from the Swedish, aside from the traditional Native Language education and the increase religious education in their own religion.

Islamic schools

To support the establishment of Islamic elementary schools in densely populated areas with many Muslims where Muslim students would have the opportunity to study in homogeonous groups could reinforce the students cultural and religious identity and this way many of the problems that Muslim students meet every day would very simply be eliminated, among other things Native Language, religious education, the issue of Muslim food, the gymnastics [physical education] question, and there could be a concrete way of helping girls and boys from Muslim countries to participate in segregated swimming classes and thereby graduate with a school diploma.
Many Muslim students finish their High School education without being able to swim at all.

Health and Physical Education

Every county ought to have one night a week that should be a womans evening, and respectively a mans evening, in the gym and the swimming hall. The entire hall [facility] should be open only for women women or men, whereas other evenings would be for both genders. This is among other things about giving young girls from Muslim countries the opportunity to participate in swimming education and thereby getting a passing grade [equiv to anything above an F] in gymnastics [physical education]. The prerequisite for this is that there are no young boys or adults in the swimming hall. The very presence of the opposite sex prevents certain girls with an immigrant background from taking advantage of the swimming education. Among other things ethnic and religious causes means that Muslim girls may not bathe together with young boys and men.

It is both dangerous and injust to that the girls are often not able to swim at all. Thousands of immigrant women can never use the swimming hall and training facilities. This is a pity. Exercise and activity is required by all and the problem with swimming education and training in the official locales is very great for immigrants men and women.


Demands

We demand that county politicions should deliberate this matter immediately. The counties are responsible to make sure that school children get their degrees. All youth regardless of background shall have the opportunity to get a passing grade in gymnastics [physical education]. With good will this could easily be done.


Muslim holidays

That the riksdag [Parliament] create a law that gives Swedish Muslims the right to take vacation time during the Islamic holidays of Eid al fitr and Eid al Adha is a demand from all Muslims. Currently it is impossible to take time off to celebrate the vacation along with your family.


Demands

We demand special legislation in this matter that is the right to two days paid vacation in connection to the celebration of these holidays and that these two days cover the need to celebrate the holidays for Sunni and Shia muslims and it proves that our religion and culture are accepted by the community.


Wishes and hopes

To solve the integration problem requires a true adjustment of legislation to accommodate the Muslim demand for vacation during the celebration of their holidays. To be able to keep your religious way of life at the same time as the Muslims are integrated into the Swedish community, creates a real diversity in the community. Muslims demand that the government shall investigate the possibility of whether a special law is possible and how in this case it shall be motivated given existing legislation in the religious freedom law [Ed note: Just as incomprehensible in the original.] Muslims are in other words demand special treatment in terms of legislation as they are a minority and this would increase their status and protect them from the majority community.


UN and EU conventions

In Sweden one is often pointed to the constitutionally protected freedom of religion and, since January 1995, the equally constitutionally protected European convention about human rights and the fundamental liberties. The support for special legislation can be found even there, but Sweden today chooses to interpret the laws and conventions in such a narrow way that religious freedom is in practise reduced to a level that is unacceptable.

Muslims as a religious minority has, like any other religious minority, according to, among other things, the UNs international convention on civic and political rights, the right to have their own culture, the right to profess and practise their own religion or use their own language.

Friday prayer and time off

(We demand) Two hours of time off for Friday prayer, between 12-14 o clock winter time, and between 13-15 o clock summer time. The Friday prayer is an obligatory prayer that must be conducted collectively in the mosque. (See Islamic prayer or showing up to these Mosques is not optional – and in time they shall begin their purges. As the beast makes herself ready) Employers are loathe to even talk about the matter with their Muslim employees. The state, as the biggest employer, ought to be an example for other employers in the private sector. A religious minorities interests and struggle to preserve their identity coincides with both the legislation regarding religious freedom and the established legal minority rights. It would be good to investigate if there is support for special legislation in the relevant parts of the declarations, conventions, and legislation for our just demands.

Halal butchery (permitted foods for Muslims)

To contribute to giving the Muslims and Jews dispensation or special legislation to perform the Islamic and Jewish butchery. (swedish health departments apparently don’t allow this and it was done away with for the Jews at the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 ad) In a series of international speeches and conventions it is established that religious freedom is a human right. That certain food items are prohibited to Muslims, especially any products of pigs, are now commonly accepted in the Swedish communities. Institutional food halls are therefore been adapted to providing special food for Muslims and Jews. Since pig products are often used in food items and other every day objects it has become more difficult for Muslims to determine what can be considered permissible foods. The Department of Food Items has therefore created a listing of any food items that contain pig products as a guide to Swedens muslims and Jews, but access to permitted Swedish meet (halal) can still be a problem. In Sweden animals may not be ritually slaughtered before anaesthesia, but you are permitted to import food to be used for our permitted meals.

It is imported meet that is used in the institutional dining halls in, among other places, all schools. Halal butchery has become a special problem for Muslims. This is especially true in connection to the sacrifical feast (Kurban or Eid al Adha) (This is the Islamic false Passover with the sacrifice of a lamb – Islam is derived from the five books of Moses and Islam declares the five books of Moses to be pure scripture – this is because Islam comes from the Samaritans and more specific Roman Catholic Samaritans. It is a mixture of mosaic law and 6^th century Roman Catholic law. And therefore it follows jewish customs on meats washings and the Passover. It adheres to thou shalt not commit adultery – no racial mixture. And no mixture with anything outside of Islam – they are better jews than the jews ever where but they are perverse corrupt and utterly depraved as a people and shall all in the end be destroyed and cast into the fires of hell with their master the devil the false prophet and the antichrist and their religion’s founder.)

where Muslim families slaughter a lamb due to religious traditions. Since 1937 it has been prohibited in Sweden to ritually slaughter large animals without preceeding anaesthesia. The demand for anaesthesia was part of a larger reform initiate to protect animals. However the law did not only have animal welfare in mind, an important argument was also a distaste for foreign customs. This prohibition against slaughtering according to Jewish and Muslim traditions remains all the same. It has several times been brought up in the riksdag [Parliament] but the decision makers have been unwilling to change their attitude. As late as in 1992 a study made by the ministry of agriculture determined that ritual slaughter cannot be accepted in Sweden. Now however there is a new study being made by the department of agriculture and we hope that the decision makers will come to a positive conclusion.

Burial Grounds

Despite the fact that Islam has existed for 32 years as an organized religion in Sweden, the construction of burial grounds has been constantly hampered. Other than in the forest church yard in Stockholm there are Muslim burial grounds in 20 something countries, but that is not enough. Today there are Muslims in nearly 100 counties that lack burial grounds. The biggest general problem that Muslims encounter is that their dead are to be buried as quickly as possible, according to Islamic custom, and by a Muslim burial in their home county.

Muslims demand that the Union of Congregations [head organ] in the Swedish Church co-operates with the countries counties to reserve burial plots in all counties that have Muslim inhabitants.

Muslims also demand that the ombudsman in each province will, in matters of funerals, take full responsibility to accommodate the Muslim demands for burial grounds.

Imam education in Sweden

Starting Imam education in Swedish universities and colleges is a demand from the nations Muslims and from Swedish authorities. The education can be created as part theology education, part Native Language (Arabian) education. Students can get permission to function as language and theology [religion] teachers. This education can create a natural integration of Islam in Swedish schools, and reduce the demand for private schools.

Opinion making

That the Swedish legal system is democratic and non-discriminating must in practice mean that the system should protect all people and ethnicities in the country, but this isn't always enough as the Muslims see it. People that belong to minority groups can require special rights to be able to exist on an equal footing with the majority. The biggest problem that Muslims face is the opinions of the majority. The community is responsible [or guilty] for trying to assimilate the immigrants of the nation. Both in daily speech and learned discussion the community uses such concepts and expressions in regards to Muslims that are untrue, distorted, and laden with negative undertones. Borders are made between "us" and "them".

As members of the dominant majority culture you're equipped with your own cultures blinkers that gives you great trouble when it comes to seeing the whole picture. The stark one sided focusing on the problems are strengthening the already widespread idea that "the immigrants have forced their way into Sweden and they are a burden on the country's natural resources" and that "they're the only ones that are to blame for the high unemployment and economic crisis not to mention the cause of their own problems." Today you openly speak about the Muslims as if they are not proper, full members of the Swedish community.

The negative image of Muslims are maintained and strengthened by the media and not least by the Swedish educational system. ( and naturally they want to be protected under hate speech laws as super citizens) Muslims immediately pick up on the negative connotations [subtext, undertone] that are used to describe their existence. It cannot be denied that this will affect their self-image and the end result is that they are kept outside of the community.

Many Muslims experience discrimination, especially at work or when they are looking for housing. The biggest problem in the integration politics is that second generation children and youths cannot find their place in every day life. This should be seen as an expression of negative Swedish cultural influence that has rubbed off on the youth.



Wishes and Hopes

Swedens Muslims express displeasure towards those local politicians that are not doing anything to increase the struggle against Islamophobia in Sweden.
The Muslims express displeasure towards towards employers, both in the private and the public sectors, since they [the muslims] cannot get work because of their origin, skin colour, foreign name and religion.

Muslims demand (despite their stated goals of the overthrow of your nation its laws and your people and their statement that no one has the right to exist except Islam) that the community should treat them in the same way (That is not what they have stated in this article they want super citizenship and to be above all the law of Sweden as well as the government to build them their mosques and override all local ordinances to do so) as you treat native Swedes and the Muslims want to live under the same circumstances as their Swedish neighbours.

Muslims want help to create a creative future on the basis of their cultural background and religious allegiance, if this is done they will feel at home in their new homeland.
If the Security Police will continue to consider Islam a violent religion and Muslims as a security risk, the community will force young religious Muslims to segregate and that is not good either for the community or for the Muslims. (this is one nation in the swamp of the EU that seems to understand the threat – I pray that they will not be overthrown in the coming elections.)

Islamic culture should be a part of the multi-cultural community. It is up to the community as the maintainers of the dominant culture to recognize Muslims as full fellow citizens, and give Muslims the same social, cultural, economic, political, religious, and personal right as the "native Swedes" enjoy themselves.

As a footnote this is not just a letter this is the Islamic manifesto -- Just as a communist manifesto was written decades ago detailing how they ould overthrow the world. And as such you can read this and see the level of Islamic penetration into your nation and in your local areas within that nation. (they are desperately seeking betrayers within these nations to hasten their over throw and will electorilly vote ass a block to do so.) This should serve to give you a more frightening view of how the goals of this manifesto is being accomplished in Spain France Denmark and the Netherlands Once they gain control of brussels the titualr hed of the EU where all law is created the game is over because they shall be able to legislate for all of the EU -- for any country that is in the EU and you can recognize these things The Lord would say that your nation needs to sever itself from this unholy alliance of nations that you partake not of their sin. the hour of repentance is upon you. ifthere is not swift and deep repentance you to shall be swallowed by the forth beast of Daniel.
