Sweden: Flying the Islamic State flag is legal

JihadWatch: “Ms Sjövall said waving an Isis flag could not be considered hate speech.” Of course. Only “right-wing” foes of jihad terror can possibly utter “hate speech.” Don’t you know that by now?

“Flying the Isis flag is legal, Sweden declares,” by Samuel Osborne, Independent, October 15, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Flying the Isis flag in Sweden is not illegal and cannot be considered an incitement to racial hatred, according to a Swedish prosecutor.

A 23-year-old man from Laholm has avoided prosecution after he allegedly posted a picture of himself with the Isis flag as his Facebook profile photo.

The photo was reported to the police in March and the men was investigated for incitement to racial hatred. The man, originally from Syria, denied the charges.

He said he is not a supporter of Isis and claimed the flag has been used as a symbol of Islam for hundreds of years and then abused by Isis, his defence attorney Bjorn Nilsson told the Swedish newspaper Hallandsposten.

  1. Remember kids, the ISIS flag, no matter how it is used, is a peaceful, historical flag, which has in recent years been “abused” by ISIS, and is therefore totally OK.

    Whereas the Confederate battle flag, no matter how it is used, is now, forever, and always a symbol of hate, murder, and slavery.

    Any questions class? No? Excellent, then let’s move on to today’s 5-minute hate. Someone please put the photo of Goldstein…er, no is it Trump today?…on the screen.

    Let’s begin.
