World: Martin Strid, a Swedish democrat, spewed venom on Muslims exposing his anti-Islam attitude. The comments were made while addressing party faithful gathered for Swedish democrats National conference. His party members have distanced themselves from the comments made and Martin is now likely to face Party expulsion.
He said that, there is a scale of humanity measured from 1 to 100 on which Muslims can be placed upon and that not all Muslims are 100% human.
Martin’ statement was that, “On one end of the scale you are 100 percent human, a person, everything that’s part of that concept. At the other end, you are 100 percent Mohammedan,” He also said that “all Muslims are somewhere on that scale” with ISIS militants “close to being 100 percent Mohammedan.
He continued saying that “If you are an ex-Muslim you have come quite far towards being fully human” while also stating that he wanted to “free Muslims from Islam, the goal is for them to join SD instead.”
Other members of the Swedish democrat party distanced themselves from his racist comments, with party secretary Richard Jomshof, branding them “racist” and that he expected Strid to be expelled from the SD.
Party leader, Jimmie Åkesson, referring to the statements said that “may be the worst I have ever heard in such a context” and that it is “very close to racism.”
Later, Martin apologised for his remarks by saying that. “It was very unfortunate and I expressed myself very clumsily.”
He further said that “I have realised [this] and it’s very unfortunate. I know a lot of Muslims and am good friends with a lot. People are people, of course.”
