Following the Easter weekendās violent Quran riots in Sweden,
RAIR Foundation USA spoke with Danish-Swedish politician Rasmus
Paludan. In this exclusive interview, Paludan discusses his view on the
violence, his objectives in burning the Qurāan, the lack of
understanding of Islam among police and Swedes, the government attacks
against him, and his living with constant threats to his life.
On Thursday, April 14, Paludan began his election tour for his newly
launched Swedish party Stram Kurs Sverige. The politician, known for
Islam-critical demonstrations and Qurāan burning in both Denmark and
Sweden, has now set his sights on this Fallās Swedish parliamentary
elections.
No-Go-Zones
Before the Easter weekend, Swedish Police Authority gave Paludan the
go-ahead to hold demonstrations in Jƶnkƶping, Linkƶping, Norrkƶping,
Stockholm, Ćrebro, and Landskrona. The events were planned in areas
where dangerous foreign immigrant forces, most of which are Islamic,
have seized control and created what is frequently referred to as āno-go
zones.ā
These protests coinciding with the Muslim holiday Ramadan were aimed
to show that Islamic values āāare not compatible with liberal Swedish
society and its freedom of expression and opinion.
Paludan intended to set fire to the Qurāan at the demonstrations to
show the world once again how Islamic migrants would react to the
provocation. Paludanās mission is to educate the public on the damaging
effects of Islam, fight against the implementation of Islamic law in
Sweden and Denmark, and protect Swedes who are under attack by Islamic
supremacists. Unfortunately, his mission to help others has landed him on the Muslim terrorist group al-Qaedaās āKill List.ā
As Paludan has previously explained to
RAIR Foundation USA, he believes that highlighting the inevitable
violence from the slightest provocation will demonstrate the Swedish
policeās loss of control over Islamic migrant areas. Mr. Paludan stated:
Sweden has been much more
disturbed by Islam than Denmark. Our actions have shown that freedom of
speech and freedom of peaceful assembly no longer exists in Sweden. Now,
Sharia is the law of the land.
Police Lose Control and Retreat
Before Paludan had even arrived in the immigrant-dense area of
āāSkƤggetorp in Linkƶping, masked gangs started riots. In Ćstergƶtland,
police fled the scene because their presence was alleged to cause
further violence. War-like scenes erupted in several places after the
police displayed passive tactics.
Angry hordes of pro-violence immigrant Muslims took to the streets,
beating and stoning police officers who tried, and in some cases did not
try, to maintain order. Officersā uniforms and vehicles were stolen and
set on fire. All to the accompaniment of the āAllahu akbarā battle cries that are the constant verbal companions of Muslim violence.
A man was arrested with a knife while Paludan and members of his
party were violently attacked and injured. The politician explains,
āI was actually hit by a stone on
my right leg and started bleeding. To which the police did nothing. I
said I cannot stand here this is not safe, stones are being thrown. And a
police officer said no, this is quite safe. There are no stones and
then 40 stones were thrown at me and my co-protesters.
In Ćrebro and Landskrona, the police changed the demonstration site a
few hours before it was scheduled to begin with hopes of keeping
violent rioters away. However, the last-minute venue change by police
was not legal and violated the Swedish constitution. Moreover, Paludanās
event was not only a general meeting but also part of the parliamentary
election.
When the police fail to keep Muslim violence in check and preserve a
constitutional right, it signals physical weakness, explains Paludan.
When the police management actively decides not to try to fulfill its
mission, it also signals mental weakness. Furthermore, It is fatal when
dealing with primitive forces that only understand the language of
power.
One Million People Who āDo Not Want Swedenā
Paludan is hoping that the Swedish people will wake up and understand
that the government is importing people into the country who want to
murder and use force if Swedes do or say something that they do not like
or challenge Islamic primacy. āMore than 1 million people in Sweden do
not believe in freedom of speech, freedom of public assembly, freedom of
democracy. And the very concept of democracy is not liked by these
people,ā explains Paludan.
He believes the government should be more careful about who is
allowed into Sweden, especially since so many immigrants support killing
others for their opinions. In addition, Paludan feels that Islam does
not fit into the Western world and that there is no single example where
it works harmoniously.
He hopes his demonstrations have shown Swedes that there are hundreds
of thousands of immigrants who do not support and will not allow
freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, or democracy. These people do
not want Sweden, he explains. Soon he warns it will not be possible to
burn a Quran at a public gathering. You will be killed.ā
As Paludan has previously stated, āI am 100 percent sure if I burned 100 Bibles and 100 Torahs, no Christian or Jew would threaten or attack me.ā
Open Borders Politicians Failed
Politicians and left-wing media do not seem to understand the notion
that Rasmus Paludan and his political party are attempting to preserve
the freedoms of citizens and ensure the safety of non-muslims who live
under threat and regular attacks from migrants Islamic supremacists.
Swedes have been killed, beaten, robbed, raped, robbed, and subjected
to a long list of other serious crimes by a perpetrator who was let
into Sweden by the countryās ruling politicians. Similarly, the riots we
have witnessed in recent days in Sweden have the same
religious-political motives as the massacre of the French satirical
magazine Charlie Hebdoās editorial, the beheading of teacher Samuel Paty
in the open street in Paris, and the wave of Muslim terror that has
swept across Europe in recent decades. And it is a left-liberal
immigration policy similar to the Swedish that has opened the door to
this violence.
In Sweden, it is this policy and the threat of this violence that
forced Lars Vilks to live with police bodyguard protection 24 hours a
day for having drawn a satirical drawing of the Muslim prophet Muhammad
as a patrol dog. No Swedish mainstream media even dared to show the
picture when Vilks recently died under mysterious circumstances in a
violent explosion and car crash.
Paludanās goal is to get violent Islamic immigrants out of his
country and back to their former homeland or another country with a
culture and government that better suits their feelings and values
āāshould be a priority goal.
For this to happen, however, he realizes that Sweden must first get
rid of its current government, which also does not fit into a democratic
society, and replace it with one that does.

Swedish Government Condemns Paludan
On Tuesday, Minister of Justice and Home Affairs Morgan Johansson
appeared on state television to comment on the Easter weekendās Quran
riots. Johansson took the opportunity to attack Paludan, whom he calls a
āDanish extremistā who āseems to hate and wants to harm
Sweden.ā Paludan responded to the governmentās attack. āI love Sweden. I
risk my life for Sweden.ā
Paludan commented on the governmentās proposal that he is a āDanish extremistā who has a hatred of Sweden.
I am Swedish, so to call myself a
Danish extremist, in such a case, they can call me a Danish-Swedish
extremist. Since these are my activities in Sweden, it would be more
accurate to call myself a Swedish extremist in such a case. Somalis are
often called Swedes after they have lived in Sweden for two days and
taken the metro.
Iām not an extremist. I am a libertarian patriot,
so I think we should have a smaller government and be able to live
peacefully without violence or threats. I do not hate Sweden; I love
Sweden. That is why I risk my life for Sweden because I love the Swedish
people. But unfortunately, Morgan Johansson and the Social Democrats
seem to hate Sweden and the Swedes because they have allowed Sweden for
the past 40 years to go from a peaceful country to a country where there
is gang crime, murder, car fires, bombings, humiliation, and rape.
I
do this in addition to the fact that I want to save the Swedish people
because I will be running in the parliamentary elections. I want to make
a difference in the Riksdag for the Swedish people.
When asked why he thinks Johansson says you want to harm Sweden, he replied,
Sweden is damaged. Thugs injured
police officers during Easter, which may be what he refers to. But it
was not me who did it. Morgan Johansson talks about hatred and
contradictions, but they already exist in Sweden. Many hate Swedes, and
we saw that during Easter. They run around hating the police and want to
kill the police. The contradictions exist in Sweden, and I have not
created that. Maybe he has created that because he has taken in a
million people who are entirely different and maybe hate Sweden.
Police File Report Against Paludan
In contrast to the Police Authorityās stated task of safeguarding
freedom of expression, the police in Malmƶ have now reported the Stram
Kurs party leader for āincitement against an ethnic group.ā This will
make it more difficult for the party leader to hold election
meetings. The police made a report against the politician despite
Swedish authority approving Paludanās applications in which it was clear
that he planned to burn Korans. It was also previously established that
burning a Koran is not a crime and religious criticism is permissible.
More Demonstrations Planned
On Tuesday evening, Paludan announced that he is now seeking new
permits to carry out the previously approved demonstrations next week in
Linkƶping, Norrkƶping, and Ćrebro, which the police decided to suspend
due to violent riots.
Furthermore, Paludan has also announced that he will visit BorƄs and
TrollhƤttan for new demonstrations. RAIR will continue to update our
readers on this ongoing story.
