Center leader Mahmoud Addas wants to ban criticism of Islam: ‘Dirty crime – deserves punishment,'” translated from “Centertoppen Mahmoud Addas vill förbjuda islamkritik: ‘Smutsigt brott – förtjänar bestraffning,'” Samhällsnytt, October 18, 2020
Mahmoud Addas, a newcomer from Syria who has made a career in the Center Party, has reacted to the Muslim terrorist execution of a teacher in France. But his reaction is not just about the beheading, but also about the “dirty crime” of criticizing Islam, which he claims not to be freedom of speech. The Center Party member, who sits on the district board for Jämtland, writes in both Swedish and Arabic — but the message is different. In Arabic, the politician also writes that the crime “deserves punishment”.
It was on Sunday that Åsa Tallroth, chairman of Medborgerlig Samling Södermanland, published a Facebook post with a screenshot of 47-year-old Mahmoud Addas, who recently immigrated from Aleppo in Syria and is now a center-right politician in Krokom’s municipality.
The Facebook post contains text in both Swedish and Arabic. In Swedish, Abbas is content to state that violation or insult of religions and beliefs is not freedom of speech, but “a dirty crime”.
But then the Center Party politician continues to speak to his constituents in Arabic, adding that the act of criticizing religion “deserves punishment”. What the punishment should be is not specified. In several countries where Islam rules, however, it can be the death penalty.

Murder is a dirty crime. No one has the right to kill as they please. We’re not barbarians. To tarnish religion and belief is not freedom of speech. It is a crime that deserves punishment and responsibility.
On Facebook, Addas wrote that he had previously worked as a teacher in the primary school in Krokom municipality. An online review shows that in addition to municipal politics, he is a native language teacher and also an administrator in the municipality.
The Center Party shows that Addas as a member of the district board for Jämtland.
The party is careful to point out how well integrated Addas is, as he is new in Sweden and already involved in developing the municipality.
After the Danish Islam-critical party Stram Kurs, led by Rasmus Paludan, demonstrated against Islam by burning and playing football with Korans in various places in Sweden, 15 Muslim congregations gathered and protested. They stated that they now intended to work to change Sweden’s constitution to ban “mockery” of religions. It should include a prohibition of burning “holy scriptures.”
Another Muslim organization that protested in Sweden was Hizb ut-Tahrir, which has now been established to be terrorist-linked. On their official YouTube channel, a video was published in Swedish with a call to all Muslims in Sweden to never accept ridicule against Islam.
Furthermore, the organization wants to gather all Muslims to get involved in a religious takeover of Sweden, where they plan to establish an Islamic caliphate — this in order to protect Islam and the Koran. In the video below, a representative of Hizb ut-Tahrir, just like the center-right party Addas, conveys the message that freedom of expression in Sweden does not mean that one is allowed to mock, and that it is “a crime to burn the Koran”.
