After protracted deliberations, the Islamic School
Foundation has been ultimately granted the right to open a contested
Muslim “free school” in the city of Borås.
Waberi has also stated openly that he “wants to live in an Islamic state whose politics are governed by the Quran and where young people are severely segregated and where dancing and pop music are banned.”
The approval to open this Islamic school adds to the list of failures of Sweden’s leadership. The country is already overrun by expanding and violent no-go zones, leaving residents scared to leave their homes.
Now it has just been reported that Sweden has become a new base for international jihad networks. Children who are being educated in a school led by the likes of Waberi can now readily “graduate” to these jihad networks, which are already known for their recruitment outreach.
Sweden’s democracy is in its final stages unless its people make an about-face in the upcoming September 2018 elections.
“Shock as Islamic Fundamentalist Gets Green Light to Start School in Sweden”, Sputnik International, February 15, 2018:
Behind the divisive initiative is Conservative MP Abdirizak Waberi, who notoriously called for banning music and dancing, prohibiting boys and girls from socializing and allowing men to beat their four wives with sticks when they became disobedient.
After protracted deliberations, the Islamic School Foundation has been ultimately granted the right to open a contested Muslim “free school” in the city of Borås, the newspaper Dagens Nyheter reported. The Borås municipality has long fought to stop the school that, it contended, would impede the integration process and cement segregation.
However, the Stockholm Court of Appeals gave the school, which previously received the backing of the School Inspectorate and the Administrative Court, the all-clear. According to the court, the municipality failed to prove the negative impact of the school with a focus on Muslim education and the Arabic language.
The project has been driven by Abdirizak Waberi, a former Conservative politician of Somali descent, who is known for his fundamentalist interpretation of Islam and promotion of polygamy and domestic violence, as it appears from his interview with Ottar magazine in 2006. In 2009, Waberi appeared in the contested SVT documentary “The Battle of the Muslims,” where he stated, among other things, that he wants to live in an Islamic state whose politics are governed by the Quran and where young people are severely segregated and where dancing and pop music are banned. Because men have a stronger sex drive than women, Waberi claimed, it is the duty of women to shy away, hence his calls for the Islamic veil for female TV anchors….
In his capacity as the rector of the Römosseskolan in Gothenburg, Waberi received profound criticism from the School Inspectorate for teachers’ rough treatment of pupils and widespread harassment of girls. Furthermore, the grading system was considered arbitrary and favored boys.
Römosseskolan, located in the blighted area of Angered, where three quarters of the population is of foreign descent, profiles itself as a Muslim school with an emphasis on Islamic education, prayers and halal diet. By Waberi’s own admission, the goal is to make students feel proud of being Muslims.
The Conservatives, whose motto is “A Hopeful Future for Sweden,” had no qualms about Waberi representing them in parliament. During his stint as MP that stretched from 2010 to 2014, Waberi was even part of the parliamentary defense committee.
The green light to the “free school” in Borås sent shockwaves through Swedish political circles.
“It all boils down to two things: the fierce criticism against the school in Gothenburg and the leader’s lousy view of women in that he defends domestic violence and wants to introduce Sharia law,” Liberal integration spokesman Gulan Avci told the newspaper Aftonbladet. “I’m tired of people playing the Islamophobia card. We are talking about activities that risk depriving children of education in an equal environment,” Avci added…..
