Salwan vs Islam

Iraqi Christian Executed for Criticising Islam in Sharia Sweden

Swedish citizen — and critic of Islam — Salwan Momika was murdered last week live on TikTok.

Had legacy media been courageous enough to confront Momika’s jihadist assassins, the punchline would have read: killed by “Muslims and multiculturalism.”

While not all Muslims are violent, Islam certainly is.

Alleged jihadists assassinated Momika because he sought to show Swedes the brutality of the culture that “multiculturalism” was forcing them to accept.

Momika’s dissent came from firsthand experience.

He was a refugee and former Assyrian Christian militia leader from Iraq, who said in June 2024,

“I defend the West so that it is not occupied by Islam and Muslims, as happened to my country.”

An Assyrian Christian, Momika’s grief over and frustration with “multiculturalism” was apparent.

The West is importing the very culture he had escaped, and it was destroying his new home.

In 2023, Momika and Salwan Najem – another critic of Islam – took their concerns to the next level.

They burned the Quran approximately seven times.

One of those protests took place in Muslim-dominated Malmo.

For burning the Quran, Momika said in an X post, dated Dec. 2024, he was arrested and ‘charged for contempt of Islam,’

‘The leftists insist that burning the Quran and criticizing Islam is incitement against Muslims,’ he added.

‘I insist on criticizing and fighting Islam, even if you sentence me to death.’

‘I will utter my last words and criticize Islam,’ he then concluded.

Momika and Najem’s trials were underway when Momika was executed at home.

On X, December 16, predicting his own death, Momika wrote,

‘I know very well that Muslims will kill me one day, but I am not afraid.’

‘I will not back down from my principles and defending Sweden and the West.

‘I am ready to pay the price for that.’

Authorities have since dropped the charges against Momika.

For Najem’s alleged part in the so-called “Islamophobic hate crime,” he was convicted under Sweden’s quiet Islamic blasphemy law for “incitement against an ethnic group.”

He was additionally convicted of a “contribution offence” for not disavowing his murdered friend.

As punishment, Najem was handed a suspended sentence, and forced to pay close to USD $400 dollars in daily fines.

Abandoned by the State

In spite of Momika’s execution and the hundreds of death threats written in Swedish, police also dismissed Najem’s requests for protection, saying it wasn’t necessary.

Momika had also been denied police protection, leaving him defenceless.

State prosecutors were seeking to have Momika sent back to Iraq instead.

After Swedish authorities revoked his residency visa, Momika sought asylum in Norway. His bid was apparently knocked back.

Since then, he had been desperately trying to swap “refuge” in Shari’a Sweden for freedom in the United States.

Writing about the case, editor-in-chief of the RAIR Foundation, Amy Mek, said Sweden’s Prime Minister has so far refused to condemn Momika’s assassination.

According to The Financial Times, Ulf Kristersson, Sweden’s Prime Minister, suspects a ‘foreign power’ was behind Momika’s death.

Since Iran had been using criminal gangs to attack Israeli targets in Sweden, FT implied that Iran was a likely candidate.

Kristersson’s reluctance to condemn Muslims slaughtering their critics, is also linked to Turkey.

Momika’s criticism of Islam almost ‘derailed Sweden’s NATO bid’ because his protests upset the Islamic NATO member.

Sweden denying Momika protection while prosecuting him under the charge of “Islamophobia” was, by all appearances, political.

Adding to her comments Amy Mek slammed Sweden, saying, ‘they didn’t just abandon Momika, they marked him for death.’

‘The message is clear,’ Mek said on X.

Sweden is a Shari’a state:

‘Jihadis can carry out assassinations while the state turns a blind eye.’

Responding to Momika being labelled by Swedish authorities as ‘far-right’, she protested,

‘This isn’t justice. This is submission. Sweden is punishing the survivors while protecting the executioners.’

Right to argue that Momika was a free speech martyr, Mek said in a piece published by RAIR that this is about,

‘the right to free speech, the right to criticize an ideology, and the right to push back against those who demand submission.’

Unlike the Bible, Mek explained, the Quran is ‘an instruction manual for an authoritarian system that dictates every aspect of life and demands political supremacy.’

‘Every Quran burned is a symbol of resistance, a rejection of Islam’s demand for dominance over Western civilization.’

To quote Norwegian journalist Rebecca Mistereggen,

‘Salwan Momika came to Europe to escape Islam, only to be killed by Islam.’

Making a similar point, GB News‘ Patrick Christy asked, “Why is criticising Islam a death sentence?”

Momika’s tragic death is a firm indictment against the two-tier justice system propping up multicultural utopianism.

His subsequent prosecution is further evidence of jihad through the judiciary.

If you think the West can survive multiculturalism, you’re wilfully ignorant about Islamification.

If you think multiculturalism will survive Islamification, you’re just as poorly informed.

    Harry Richardson’s book “The Story of Mohammed” explains these horrendous circumstances very clearly.
    If you feel you don’t yet adequately understand Islam, and can’t yet recognise its totalitarian characteristics, this book will help.

    All the more reason to earnestly pray for people caught in the Islamic religion. It is a huge entrapment, a place of fear and intimidation. It is glaringly obvious that the god of Islam is NOT the God of the Bible. There. is a huge movement of people leaving Islam. I believe it is a result of much prayer for the islamic world. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is truly the only hope for these prisoners.
