The leader of a far-right party in Sweden on Saturday proposed a ban on the construction of new mosques and suggested the destruction of existing ones.
Sweden Democrats leader Jimmie Akesson, who supports Prime
Minister Ulf Kristersson's coalition government in Sweden, said in an
event in the southeastern city of Vasteras that migrants should not
have the right to build new mosques.
Akesson, who is disturbed by anti-Israeli protests and the support by
Swedish media for Palestine, said that the protests were originating from the
mosques, thus suggesting their demolition.
He also asked for a ban on new mosque constructions.
"In the long term, we should start seizing and demolishing mosques
where anti-democratic, anti-Swedish, homophobic, and anti-Semitic propaganda is
generating from," according to Akesson.
The Sweden Democrats, became the second-biggest party in parliament
following general elections last year.
