A translated message of a senior ruling party member shows that the man said that Islam’s rules are more important than Swedish rules.
The controversial statements of the Social Democrat politician, who was a candidate for the Swedish Parliament, were translated from Arabic.
His statements include “Islamic rules are more important than Swedish rules. It is partly because women who want to take off the veil are to be opposed in different ways”, Per-Ola Matsson, a local leader of the Social Democrats, told Radio Sweden.
He has been a member of the Social Democratic party under Prime Minister Stefvan Lofven for several years. Until recently he was on the electoral list for city council and county council, as well as on the list for national parliament.
But now he denies the allegations pointing out, among other things, that his sister doesn’t wear a veil [probably to show he is not as radical as it seems].
Per-Ola Matsson, the local leader of the party, confirmed that the politician’s translated Arabic statements are correctly cited.
The politician from Karlshamm is now forced to leave the party after his controversial statements about Islam in Sweden.
The case comes at a very bad moment for the Social Democrats, as the ruling party is in a ferocious battle with the right-wing Sweden Democrats in today’s election.
