Swedish Opposition calls for Democrat to resign over Prophet Muhammad tweet
The Swedish opposition demanded on Friday the resignation of Sweden Democrat Party Secretary Richard Jomshof after he posted insulting remarks about Prophet Muhammad on social media, SIA refers to foreign media.
Jomshof's comments were in response to a call for "greater dialogue" from Tahir Akan, chair of the Swedish Muslim Association, regarding how to address activists burning the Quran, the holy book of Islam.
"I agree that we need a 'broader dialogue,'" Jomshof tweeted. "A dialogue about how we democratize the Muslim world. Or what not a dialogue about Islam, this antidemocratic, violence-promoting, and misogynistic religion/ideology, founded by the warlord, mass-murderer, slave trader, and bandit, Mohammed."
Magdalena Andersson, leader of the Social Democrats, the country's largest opposition party, stated, "Richard Jomshof should leave his position as chair of the foreign policy committee," emphasizing that his comments were engaging in a direct polemic with the Muslim world.
"Jomshof cannot remain in office, and he must resign," said Morgan Johansson, Social Democrats' foreign policy spokesperson.
Amid escalating tensions, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson expressed grave concern about potential consequences if protests continue to be organized, where copies of the Holy Quran are desecrated.
Speaking to the Swedish news agency "TT," Kristersson revealed that new requests had been submitted to the police for permission to organize such protests. He stressed that the police bear the responsibility of granting permission to demonstrators.
