The ‘Religion of Peace’ Claims Another Victim
Islamists are colonizing the West using toxic empathy as a weapon.
When Salwan Momika migrated to Sweden seeking asylum, his hope was that the Western nation would protect him from the Islamists who were persecuting him. As an Iraqi and a former Christian, he and his family had been persecuted by Islamists his whole life.
But Sweden was no sanctuary. That’s why, in 2023, he decided to make a bold statement to the country that had given him asylum. He burned Qurans in front of mosques in a show of defiance toward his religious persecutors — and to demonstrate that the words written in the Quran are a lie.
His actions sparked outrage in Muslim-dominated countries. The Swedish embassy in Iraq was stormed and burned. Morocco and Iraq withdrew their ambassadors from Sweden. Egypt called Momika’s actions “disgraceful.” Burning a Quran is “hate speech” in Sweden and was being prosecuted as such. However, for Islamists, it’s a death sentence.
Last Thursday, Swedish police announced that Momika had been shot and killed. Five individuals have been arrested in connection with the murder. Nothing about these suspects has been released, which is the first indicator that this is likely a crime of usual suspects. Next, due to the Muslim countries being outraged by the Quran burnings, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson remarked, “There is obviously a risk that there is also a connection with a foreign power.”
If Momika was murdered by religious zealots, no one would be surprised. Europe is no stranger to murder and other violent crimes committed by Islamists. Remember the 2015 Charlie Hebdo massacre in France? Sweden and others have been overrun by immigrants from Islamic countries, and their way of life has been utterly destroyed as a result.
In fact, Sweden has the terrible moniker “rape capital of Europe,” which has coincided with its lax immigration policies and other complicating measures, like redefining what constitutes rape.
What do rape and Islamic immigrants have in common? Well, Islam condones the rape of non-coreligionists, so it’s hardly surprising that this particular crime is on the rise.
Sweden isn’t the only country struggling with the influx of immigrants. In the UK, mass rape has been going on for decades. But the politicians in neither Sweden nor the UK are willing to stand up for their own people because if they do, they will be called racists or religious bigots and probably be accused of “hate crimes.”
Meanwhile, the “religion of peace” is openly colonizing and destroying Western countries.
We even see this attempt at colonization here in the U.S. but in far stranger ways. The pro-Hamas protesters have made an unholy alliance with “Gays for Gaza” and are using their “protesting” powers to terrorize college campuses across the nation — most notably Columbia. Podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey interviewed Pastor Andrew Sedra on January 22 and addressed this very odd alliance. Sedra is a Coptic Christian — i.e., an Egyptian Christian — whose family fled to Australia when he was a young boy due to religious persecution. His father shared the Gospel with an important and connected Muslim woman, and she converted. His father was sentenced to death as a result.
Sedra posits that the real alliance is between Islam and communism (which is what the leftist ideology has become). Both of these ideological positions are anti-Christ.
In the war of ideas, the Judeo-Christian West has brought more progress and prosperity to its people than the other two forces we are currently facing. Communism has brought about ruination and death to every people group under its repressive regime. Radical Islam’s fascism has a similar track record. Both ideologies prey on the vulnerable. While one celebrates the vice of envy (communism), the other celebrates the vices of lust and wrath (Islam). They must be repelled.
