Loreen and freedom of speach


Lorren won over silicon valleys!
Loreen won also in daring to speak in a dictature!
Loreen won over racism!
Lorren won over the male oppression ofwomen!

Eurovision Song Contest

Her song has been heard all over. It specific sound touched a whole continent. She won with more than 100 points, close to the ESC record. Just to listen to it makes a lot of people shiver. When she sang it in a slow tempo at Hötorget in Stockholm to celebrate the victory she touched all the thousands of people who traveled there just to see her.
She won a fair victory!

Silicon valleys

A lot of the women at the contest where dressed to show their bodies, here Greece. They looked nice, indeed, but how many of them had made their breasts bigger to look prettier? I don't know, but a few I guess (I do not think Eleftheria has done it, she is just an example of dressing and showing the body). How many had done plastic surgery to look better? It did not help, because Sweden had Loreen. She did not flash her breast, and she were not ashamed that they are not so very big- they are natural. Her face was natural too, everything exept her hair seems to be natural, but I might be wrong.
Loreen won for the sake of the natural woman!

Loreen and dictatures

Loreen was the only participant who dared to question the dictature in the country by visiting democracy-organisations. When she was questioned about it, some tried to say she was doing it against the rules the Swedish leader Christer Björkman said she was doing it on her spare time.
She won the democratic fight that no one else dared to fight (except a Norwegian comedian who were abused by the airport guards when leaving the county, but he was not participating)

Loreen and racism

When winning for Sweden she also won for all the people that have moved to this country to live here as Swedish citizens. She won as the voice of all the people in Sweden, except for the extreme right nazi-friendly groups like Sverigedemokraterna those party secretary, Björn Söder wrote “Sweden?” on his facebook page when she won. 
She also won by hugging a dark colored man, Ausben Jordan, in the dance. That dance shows that the color of the skin doesn't matter.
Loreen won over anti-democratic racists.

Loreen and oppression of women

By visiting womens organisations in Azerbaijan she lifted up the oppression of women in the country and in Islam. She also talked about her cousin who was forced to marry (Swe link) a 25 years older man when she was 13 years old in Morocco. A terrible action by a society who do not care about the women but only the man. Here are some statistics.
She really showed the last victory in the dance at ESC by in the end force the man to the ground. I really liked that metamorphose.
Loreen won a victory for the oppressed women. Let us all help those women to a better life. Let us all help the poor girls who are in that terrible situation. Let us do everything to stop men act like they did towards the cousin of Loreen or the sisters Nadia and Zana in the autobiography Sold: Story ofmodern-day slavery.

Loreen won for everyone who cares about a better world!

Trubble among muslims in Sweden!

There is an update in the end.
****************************************************************************
Yesterday a Swedish program was broadcasted in the Swedish television about what the Imams are saying when they do not know the society are listening. It was Uppdrag Granskning (Swe link) who wanted to examine that by sending out two women in niqab, and with a hidden camera, to ask what they shall do because their husbands have taken a new wife, are beating them and forcing them to have sex. All three things are illegal in Sweden (and both of the women are true believers in Islam).
One, I repeat only One Imam told them to go to the police because you shall never beat your wife.
The rest were not so very good... (some of them said a little bit good things too)

The main mosque in Sweden, the one in the center of Stockholm, where one of the worse! "Even if your husband is beating you and has go another wife you got to have sex with him, and you shall not go to the police because then it is problems . They will put him in jail!" That means that he knew it is illegal to beat but he says she must accept it. I wonder if He, the Imam, a holy person (?) would accept to be beaten and forced to have sex. Don´t think so.. (But he is a man, or?)

In six of the ten mosques the Imams tells the woman they must have sex with their husband, according to the quran. The only times they may say "No!" is when they are ill or have got the period.

Where are the womens rights?
A friend of me said in Facebook "throw the bastards (Imams) out from the country, they have no right to treat the women in that way. I said "No". If we throw them out from Sweden we will just move the problem to another country and their women. (when he said to the moon I accepted, because as far as I know no women are living there)

According to Helena Benaouda (Swe link), the leader of  "Sveriges muslimska råd" (The Swedish muslim council) they know there "have been" a problem with some volunteer imams, but that is because some mosques do not have so much money. Hey, Helena what planet are you from? (I know you are born Swedish and this is your country) All these mosques gets money from the state or their countys (written in the link), and most of them gets money from ex Saudi Arabia. They have well educated Imams (the mosque in Stockholm has it most certenly). And you try to say they are not educated? And tries to make it sound like the government in Sweden do not give you enough money? Wake up! (try to say something to help the muslims instead, because right now people only thinks about who is your daugthers husband, Munir Awad, and thinks it is because of that you have strange opinions...)

Some muslims in Sweden says the program was not good to show because it only makes the islamophobia worse, and helps the racists. Hmm, who helps the racists here? Isn´t it the Imams living in a time that should only be remembered in One thousand ond one night's? As long as people calling themselves muslims and treat their women in this way that religion will have problems in Europe. When they live as a lot of my muslim friends it is no problem.

Finally: When I saw the look in the 12 years old girl in a suburb to Stockholm walking with her hijab looking at her former classmate, my 12 years old daugther, I felt bad. You could see in her eyes she did not have the hijab because of something between her and Allah. It was her parents forcing her to have it probably because they did not the men to look at her as a sexual object. They have not understood the words in the quran, then... (according to the Imam in the muslim school I worked at four years ago.)
****************************************************************************
The day after the program there was a debate about it in the same chanal.
According to aftonbladet (Swe link) three muslim women had a hard time during the debate. They did not get enought of time to speak, and they where interupted by the men who were rising their voices (very usual to do when you have no core in what you say... try to shut the mouth of the opponent). It ended with the three brave women leaving the studio. They told aftonbladet that "Islam is not a women suppresing religion" and "the men are bad representants for islam".
I agree with the women, but unfortunately their wholy book says a little too much about women... the men wants to read those parts to be able to be kings in their house, but it should be read as those parts in the Bible are read (in Sweden anyway, not in the christian right och catholic church): "It is history and should be so too"

According to DN (Swe link) it is usual that the women do not get any support from the imams. "Many imams gets a work (in a mosque) as family councils, and then they get power in a social work they are not educated in. Then they might answer according to their religiuos moral", a scientist working with islam says.
And I say "a so called religious moral is nothing worth when it hurts and kills people", I know that it is written in sura 4 verse 34 and 38 that the man must take care of the woman economically, and that he has the right to in the last instance beat her if she is not behaving, but that is just a book written by a man to other men to try to suppress the women (but he did it better for the women by the standards of that time). Now it is time to see that we are equal in everything-same intelligence (but in my eyes it seems that a lot of men called imams are less..), same kinds of feelings and same rights according to the only law that is just- the law of the country and not a silly religios law.

Muslim men, cover your eyes!

Many muslim women cover themselves because they want to, according to the Quran. Let them do that, it is their choice.
The issue is instead when some men tries to use a "holy book" to keep their own power and supress the people. When some muslim men forces the women to cover them, like in Iran, and makes rules to supress them even more.
One example is a poor girl in Tehran 2005. She said she was raped by two men. Her sentence was 100 laches for lying about the men so they could have gotten a capital punichment, and having sex. The men got 30-40 laches for having sex, according to BBC. This is just one sad example what happens in Iran.

In Saudi Arabia some men have problems with women having "attractive eyes", according to mail online.
I wonder why the **** the men have to look at the women then? They have the choise to not look. Why do they have to make rules for the women to cover them even more? Why can't the men woh do not want to see the women cover teir own eyes? Are the government in that country so loose minded that they can not stop thinking about sex? Well go to a psyciatric then.

Why couldn't they make rules to have public flogging on the men looking at the women, like the Committe for the promotion of virtue and the preventing of the vice who makes these terrible discriminating rules and controlling that they are followed by letting people die. This so called religious police stopped 2002 the female students (age young- 18 years old)  in a burning school to run from the building because they were not propperly covered. 15 young women died and at least 50 were burnt. As BBC recorded they locked the gates to stop them from coming out because they wre not propper muslim dressed. Shouldn't that so called police get the same punishment? Burn them, the male religious police, but not so they die, but they have to live with the pain!

Sorry for writing so hard words, but I get angry when I read about things like this. Old men treating young women like that. The sad thing is that it is NOT religion they are trying to keep, but the POWER. It is written in their book that all religion is between yourself and Allah, not between you and a government. Don´t they know that, and they call themselves muslims?
All my respect to real muslims, living according to their book, I know a lot of them and I have worked with some of them too in a muslim school. But I can and will not respect muslims (or christians or other religions) who tries to force a religion on others with guns and killing those who will not accept their so called god.
