islam will never adapt.
Parts of Sweden are wondering where her head covering is and why a woman has been allowed a position of authority.
Finally the rhetoric is changing and maybe we can stop voting for the swedendemocrats

Islam as a religion does adapt.
Question is, how is the gov interacting with the “The Muslim Council of Sweden” to ensure the adaption so that it is compatible with SE law? Easy to ask, but that person is in Gov, so it be interesting to see her actions on this.
More swedes I know don’t fall for this anti-immigrant shit and the country as a whole is very progressive
Islam is too broad a concept to say it has to adapt. People who cling to cultural norms that are antithetical to Swedish laws must adapt or leave. Or to say it another way: Illegal behavior will not be tolerated. And then enforce it with expulsions.
She’s absolutely right and that goes for any western nation. We need to stand up to religious conservatism or face the consequences of the rise of the far right.
Yes this was said multiple times at least a decade ago. So no shit, everyone except the politicians and idiots knew this.
If she goes to India, she’ll probably get beheaded for this opinion – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Kanhaiya_Lal
The absence of liberals (and leftists) from this debate for so long is a disaster.
The populists, conservatives and whatnot cannot put this into a useful/usable frame…. even though this speech is a decent effort.
Almost 10% of Sweden is Muslim, and trending up. This is “Swedish Islam.” Part of the Swedish cultural and religious landscape. It is part of Swedish culture, and Swedes have every right to criticize it. It is theirs.
Scandis have been all about ghettos and parallel societies of late. The core ghettoisation is in the minds of liberal seculars. Not ours to judge. Not ours to reform. Not ours to critique. Persecution of seculars…? they have their own ways. Affronts to women’s liberty…? Safer to engage with hijabi feminists. Upsets religious folks less.
Has europe forgotten secularism, secular values? Do we consider (for example) women’s freedom an exclusive privilege for ethnic natives? What is this?

islam can suck my hairy balls.
The time is coming for replacing politicians with AI, we don’t need useless policies or unnecessary kindness for ancient rulings or rituals
India Times, wonder what kinda vested interest they could have in promoting these views
Getting beheaded is a strong deterrence.
Critics
There is an easy answer to Bronze and Iron age mythology. Education.
Replace “Islam” with “Any organized religion” and I would agree.
Somewhat comical that this came from an Indian website. My hindu brothers hate islam with a passion.
Because even in European countries Muslims will try to kill you for it
Isn’t it Democracy where everyone has an opinion and the right to say it? What do you expect if increasing number of muslims in a specific country will push their ideas? This was clear and expected but now we have this populism of far right that found a way into minds of racist euroretards that think that migrants are the problems of their countries falling apart. We should thank the 70‘s and 80‘s selfish citizens that chose hedonism over making families and creating this so called problem and instead of bitching about this remember that folks in the 50‘s had to rebuild everything after the war and if they could do it than we can also embrace the problems and find a solution. Quit blaming the people that want to run from poverty and war
Honestly, true.
