Swedes don 'hijab' to support Muslim woman
Swedish men and women post photos online in solidarity with woman who was attacked apparently for wearing headscarf.

Scores of Swedish women from various faiths have posted pictures of themselves wearing hijab, or traditional Muslim headscarves, in solidarity with a woman attacked in a Stockholm suburb, apparently for wearing one.

Police spokesman Ulf Hoffman said an unknown assailant had attacked the pregnant woman in the suburb of Farsta on Friday by banging her head against a car.

Hoffman said the man shouted slurs which have led police to believe the attack was motivated by the woman's religion.

Using hashtag #hijabuppropet (hijab outcry) women posted their photos in headscarves on the social networking sites Twitter and Instagram.

Swedish television host Gina Dirawi and politician Veronica Palm are some of the notable figures who expressed solidarity with #hijabuppropet.

Green Party leader, Asa Romson, went as far as to change her Twitter profile picture, in support of the campaign.

“Risk of being beaten and discriminated against for how they choose to dress, everyday life for many women in Sweden 2013” Romson said on her twitter account.

Personal safety

Some men also supported the campaign posting photos in which they covered their heads.

Joel Almorth tweeted: "Yes wear veils today to show solidarity for all women, are put up with harassment and attacks!"

In an opinion piece published in the Swedish newspaper, Aftonbladet,  on Sunday, the organisers of the 'hijabuppropet' urged Justice Minister Beatrice Ask to take measures to "ensure that Swedish Muslim women are guaranteed the right to personal safety and religious freedom, without being subject to verbal and physical attacks".

"In addition, we demand that responsible politicians actively draw attention to and fight the structural discrimination that affects Muslim women.

"We believe that's reason enough in a country where the number of reported hate crimes against Muslims is on the rise – and where women tie their headscarves extra tight so that it won't get ripped off – for the prime minister and other politicians to take action to stop the march of fascism," the authors wrote.

The Justice Minister has also agree to meet with the organisers of the campaign on Tuesday.

"This must be taken very seriously," Minister Ask told TT news agency.

Yes, gandalf ... but what is the consensus of opinion amongst the general public about the wearing of the hijab and the non-assimilist attitude this betrays?

A tiny minority of socialists and sundry lefties donning scarves in sympathy tells us nothing about the majority opinion.

You can declare it Mickey Mouse Day and half the population will travel to work in the morning wearing Mickey Mouse ears like Lady Gaga sometimes does.

I don't know why you Muslim-supporters keep wanting to kick own-goals.

For every attempt at doing a PR exercise on behalf of Islam ~ any one of us can Google an avalanche of news stories that leave your 'positive messages' buried beneath sedimentary layers of negativity.

The previous rioting by Muslims and setting Malmo alight wasn't enough. The Muslim rape epidemic of non-Muslim girls wasn't enough. The jihad homicide bomber, screaming Allahu Akbar, targeting Christmas shoppers wasn't enough.

Somali Journalist: Leftist Media makes Sweden "more dangerous than Mogadishu" "Here you cannot tell the truth [about jihad], the truth is kept secret, the people silenced"

Color me skeptical ..... Muslim immigration should have been halted years ago.

Anyone not on board with the jihad and the sharia is far-right,

In Sweden the Islamification of the country is in full swing and freely aided by the country’s socialist government. Arson is almost a daily occurrence. Assault, murder and robberies are almost an hourly occurrence in a country that had the lowest crime rate in the world, pre-Muslim migration.

Violent Muslim attacks against teachers, doctors, police, fire department, jews, politicians and extreme threats of rape and mutilation Muslims post against journalists in social media and forums is rampant in the country.

Over 60.5% of the entire country’s welfare budget is exploited by a 15% foreign immigrant population. Since Muslims account for nearly 90% of all recent immigrants, no need to mention who is the recipients of Sweden’s tax-payer funded welfare payouts.

Years ago a Sydney Talkback Radio host said ...

Sharia Courts are springing up all over the UK with no resistance from the spineless bastards who've been ruling Britain since the sluice gates to mass and indiscriminate immigration were opened.

All that we see occurring overseas will eventually be happening right here in our own backyard.

Islam is just an improvement of Western culture. If your own sorry ideology is not winning people over then maybe there is a reason for it.

How is Islam an improvement on western culture,please explain?

Islam is not compatible with the Universal Declaration of human rights, why would people choose a belief that is not compatible with human rights?

In Australia Buddhism is the fastest growing religion according to the last census, those with No Religion are growing faster than all the religious options.

Of course it is.

Do you think it's time I converted to Islam?

Would you promise that if I converted, and then went on a rampage in the name Allah, you would defend me on these forums against the anti-Islam retards?  8-)

AK47, RPG, Looting and Burning Churches, killing of all people of different faiths could have a slight influence on the majority of sane peoples the world over.
