Mehmet Kaplan |
While the talk was mostly about Islamophobia, matters took a turn for the absurd when the Integration Minister said that there was a problem with young Muslims heading to Syria to be jihadists. (Like the rest of the Western non-Islamic world.) That comment prompted a reaction from the Green Party MP Mehmet Kaplan (who is the former spokesman for the Muslim Council of Sweden) who said the jihadists were nothing to worry about and were similar to Swedish freedom fighters who joined the Finns in World War II to fight the Soviets.
Excuse me but equating spoiled Western-born Muslim kids, who think it's great to bugger off to the lands of their parents in which to murder for a paedophile who died 1,800 years ago, with people who helped defend their neighbour from Stalin's Russia when he invaded Finland is bizarre, and Turkish-born Green MP Kaplan thinks it is Islamophoibc to treat them as anything but heroes.
And this idiot wonders why people don't trust Muslims in the West.
