Treating Islam as the inherently intolerant, violent, political ideology that it is, would go a long way in helping to defeat it. 

The white banner at the top of the flag reads: “There is no god but Allah. Mohammad is the messenger of Allah.” The islamic shahadah, the confession of faith. This is what the Assyrian interviewed would want equated with the symbol of German National Socialism, the swastika. It works for me.

“I hope that people can view the IS flag in the same way as the swastika. Then they can also intervene when they see the symbol,” she told Swedish public broadcaster Sveriges Radio, describing the Islamist organisation as “the world’s most dangerous terrorist group”.

NOTE: That is how they should view the hijab, keffiyeh, koran and hadiths as well. Highly toxic towards human development.

 Syrians in Gothenburg scared by Isis graffiti

A Christian Syrian teenager has told The Local how he fears he is “going to die” after threats containing Isis symbols were painted on his family’s takeaway shop, amid growing safety concerns among the Assyrian community in west Sweden.

Jacob Asmar and his family discovered the message “convert or die” scrawled on the walls of their pizzeria in red paint earlier this week.

“I think it’s horrible because we get thoughts that we don’t want to get now (…) like we are going to die because this terrorist group is coming to Gothenburg,” the 16-year-old told The Local on Friday.

“We Assyrians are worried – especially my family because we own the restaurant – about how there could be big trouble.”

The pizzeria is one of a number of businesses in the Tynnered area of the city that have been targeted by graffiti appearing to support the radical Islamist group Isis (also known as IS) in recent weeks.

“It feels like persecution of Jews in the 30s when Jews in Germany had Stars of David painted on its doors. Now it happens here,” said Jacob’s father Yusuf Asmar in a separate interview with The Gothenburg Post.

Around 10,000 Assyrians, a Christian ethnic group originating in the region that is modern Syria, Iraq, Iran and Turkey – now live in Sweden.

Representatives of several Assyrian associations called an emergency meeting on Thursday night to discuss ongoing claims that Sweden’s second largest city is becoming a recruitment hub for Isis, which has already targeted the Christian minority in Syria.

“Imagine if you fled persecution from your country and then started living next door to IS sympathisers here in Sweden. It is everyday life for many people,” said Josef Garis, president of Assyriska Distriktet i Göteborg, one of the largest community groups for Assyrians in west Sweden.

“We know that Gothenburg is one of IS’ recruitment bases, and we hear about people who express sympathy for IS here in Tynnered,” he told the Gothenburg Post.
