Sweden’s Leaders Outraged Over Bacon—But Silent on Salwan Momika’s Execution
This week, Swedish authorities and university officials erupted in fury after slices of bacon were found on prayer mats and Korans at Linnaeus University.
The incident was swiftly labeled an “unacceptable violation against Muslim students,” and a police report was immediately filed. The university president issued a statement condemning the act, declaring that there is “zero tolerance for all forms of discrimination.”
But where was this urgency when my friend, Salwan Momika, was brutally executed in a government apartment in Sweden 12 days ago?
The Swedish government targeted him, persecuted him, left him without protection, and placed him in the very location where he was executed.
They knew he was being hunted. They knew there was a $2 million bounty on his head. They knew Islamic terrorist groups operating abroad and within the country wanted him dead.
Yet they did nothing.
Instead of protecting him, they tried to destroy him in court, strip him of his rights, and deport him to his Sharia executioners.
When he was slaughtered, the Swedish government didn’t launch a massive manhunt, they didn’t hold press conferences denouncing the attack, and they didn’t even dare to say his name.
Hours after his murder, Sweden’s government-funded media aired an interview with a woman wearing a Södertälje municipality jacket—justifying his execution.
Instead of outrage, she lectured Swedes about "respecting Allah." No sympathy. No condemnation. Just submission.
And here we are, TWELVE days later:
NO information on who killed him.
NO justice.
NO accountability.
No condemnation from Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, who had no problem smearing Quran burners—yet couldn’t even say Salwan’s name or show an ounce of care.
Swedish leaders are wailing over bacon but had nothing to say when an innocent man was slaughtered in their own country for exercising free speech.
They didn’t just fail Salwan. They set him up. They let him die. And now they are justifying it.
This is the state of Sweden: a country where putting bacon on a prayer mat leads to a police investigation, but an assassination in broad daylight leads to silence.
Sweden is enforcing blasphemy laws through bloodshed. They are making an example out of Salwan Momika, sending a clear message:
Criticize Islam, and you will be hunted. Criticize Islam, and you will be executed. Criticize Islam, and the government will smear you, persecute you, and then pretend they had nothing to do with it.
I do not trust the Swedish government. They want this buried. They want this forgotten.
Do NOT let them erase Salwan. Do NOT let them get away with this cover-up. DEMAND answers.
We need justice. And we need it now.
Imagine:
You are held in a dungeon for over a year. Tortured, starved, and barely kept alive.
You survive for your wife and children.
You make it out.
Then you find out that your wife and children were murdered, and the world supported those who murdered them and tortured you.
My speech today at the protest against #China's plans to turn our historic Royal Mint into a mega embassy and enormous spy centre that threatens our values and our security
We must keep saying NO to this until @AngelaRayner@Keir_Starmer get the message.
Firmly shook @Keir_Starmer’s hand, had a meaningful chat & I made it clear: we’re not doing enough for #HongKong and Human Rights.
Sad to see fellow activists risking everything outside Royal Mint Court. This only strengthens our resolve to tell PM must stand FIRM on our values.
@DrewPavlou Sometimes it requires these people's close ones and loved ones to be the victims in order for them to dare face the truth, but then people would say that's too harsh :)
On my friend #JimmyLai's 77th birthday, which he is spending in solitary confinement in prison in #HongKong, I have written this message, in my own hand and from my heart

Xi Jinping just officially confirmed the Chinese student associations in Europe and US are under CCP leadership with 'goal of national unification'.
Are these groups still allowed on campuses, knowing they are clearly infuriated by Chinese government?
Periodic reminder that the majority of the Hong Kong 47 -- 39 men and 8 women aged between 23 and 64 years at the time of their National Security Law arrests -- have been behind bars since February 28th, 2021; close to 3 years and 8 months ago now.
WW2 Japan was run by a death cult that was willing to sacrifice massive numbers of people rather than surrender in a war they’d clearly lost because of a twisted sense of honor and destiny.
So yes, Hamas’s regime in Gaza is a lot like Japan 80 years ago.

🚨Former 🇹🇼President Tsai’s trip to UK cancelled to avoid upsetting Beijing ahead of @DavidLammy China visit.
With Tsai going to the 🇪🇺 and 🇨🇿, this is notably weak from the UK. Taiwan shouldn’t be punished for being a reliable partner who doesn’t throw their diplomatic toys out of the pram when upset like Beijing. When our politicians go to Taiwan, they are treated like royalty. Basic reciprocity should mean we treat Taiwan’s former leaders with greater respect than this.

“Educators travelling abroad must not have contact w/ banned Falun Gong spiritual movement or other “hostile foreign forces”, acc to instructions published by Wenzhou’s Ouhai district education bureau in March on the district’s website along w/ new teacher travel restrictions.”3/
GERMANY: a Jewish father and his young daughter were brutally attacked by pro-Palestinian protestors, mostly Muslim immigrants.
The father was wearing a yellow ribbon with the words 'Bring them home now’ - which triggered the Islamists, and was severely injured.
According to the German police, they arrived just before the crowd attempted to lynch the daughter.
👏 Incredible!
Taiwan DEPORTS two 🇨🇳 nationals for harassing #HongKong protests.
This is the way to deal with transnational repression!
Compare to @JamesCleverly who didn’t even do this when a PRC diplomat literally beat up #BobChan in Manchester.
