For 100 years in Sweden, the Social Democrats and the far-left have done a great deal to oppose the Church, with the aim of establishing a secular state—a goal in which they have succeeded. They have politicised the so-called Church of Sweden (the Lutheran church) to ensure that it does not grow.
The church in Sweden—across all denominations—is currently experiencing explosive growth; I suspect this is the reason why, though that’s not what I want to talk about today—even if it is a far more enjoyable topic.
No, what I want to talk about—and what I have discussed before—is: Why the Left is so anti-Christianity, yet pro-Islam.
If you feel the same way and are expecting an answer, you will be disappointed, because I have no answers. I only know what they are doing.
I spoke with two people who are on the political left and have served as local politicians, and they couldn’t provide an answer either. They are atheists and believe they treat all religions the same way—but it’s clear that they don’t.
Reading between the lines, I sense a fear of Islam—a fear of what might happen if one questions it.
Could it be fear?
Many countries have designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organisation. Most of these countries are in the Middle East, but they also include Russia, Austria, and the United States.
During a recent vote in the European Parliament, many opposed such a terrorist designation. In Sweden, this included politicians from the far-left, the Social Democrats, and the Green Party.
Not surprisingly, it’s horrible.
The same parties are now in strong agreement on a total boycott of Israel.
And the same parties now want to fast-track a massive construction project—potentially the largest mosque in the Nordic region.
Yep, a mosque—not the largest church or synagogue in the Nordic region.
Once again, it is the same parties that now want to introduce blasphemy laws in Sweden.
These are laws that the Social Democrats abolished in 1976, on the grounds that the Christian Church should not receive special treatment and had to accept being openly criticised.
Now, they want to introduce such laws to protect Islam.
