– I hear, I should apologize for mocking the Prophet Muhammad. I have no thought to do so.
– I deem it a key agenda, the fact that in a modern society the criticism of various spiritual beings must be allowed, Halla-aho explains.
He is surprised that his ban was announced just days before the visit.
– They were well aware that I was coming. I would have gladly visited with them, but on the other hand one would like to do something else.
Finnish Islamic community has been hurt by Halla-aho’s blog writings in which MP has stated, inter alia, as follows: “The Prophet Muhammad was a pedophile, and Islam is a religion sanctifying of pedophilia, that it is, a pedophile religion. Pedophilia is Allah’s will.”
The text was the reason for the Court of Appeal judgment in which Halla-aho was fined for breach of religion.
– I’m of the opinion that all communities have the freedom to choose their guests. But you have to remember that, even though I have criticized quite heavily the Lutheran Church, hardly a parish council meeting would ban me a the gateway to any of the churches of Helsinki.
