REPORT: One month of Islam in Sweden: June 2015.

Zeliha Dagli, who labels herself a secular feminist, wrote in an article in the newspaper Aftonbladet that she fled Turkey 30 years ago, but now wants to seek asylum “again” — in Sweden. Dagli lives in Husby, the Stockholm suburb . . .

She writes that her everyday life is being more and more influenced by suburban fundamentalists:

“I want a safe haven and I want to be able to drink a glass of beer with my friends Lars, Hassan, Maria, Osman, Ayse and others. I want to go to the Senior Citizens Association and listen to jazz and dance the twist. I want to grow vegetables in the garden and wear short pants, and go to the bathhouse in a bikini. In my neighborhood, I want to escape the judgmental looks of men staring at me. I want to bring home whomever I like, but I can’t do these things today because my rights are limited and controlled in my neighborhood. These bearded ‘shadows’ frighten me.”

In a televised debate, Mona Sahlin, Sweden’s “national coordinator of the struggle against violent extremists,” was forced to admit that the situation in the suburbs is a “disaster for Sweden.” Ironically, Sahlin herself has been instrumental in laying the groundwork for contempt against Swedish culture, by saying in reply to a question about what Swedish culture is:

“I’ve been asked that a lot, but I can’t put my finger on what Swedish culture might be. I think that might be the reason many Swedes envy the immigrants. You have a culture, an identity, a history, something that binds you together. And what do we have? We have Midsummer’s Eve and ‘corny’ things like that.”[1]
