A Swedish nationalist party, Sweden Democrat, demanded imposition of ban on halal meat in schools as a politician brought an interesting theory that eating halal meat has ‘magical powers’ that could turn the eater into a Muslim.
A Swedish politician expressed his Islamophobic thoughts by claiming that ‘eating halal meat has magical powers and can turn you into a Muslim.’ It is noteworthy to mention here that the nationalist party has around 20 per cent public support in Sweden.
The claim was made by the head of the nationalist party’s Heby wing, Michael Ohman, who told the Sala Allehanda newspaper that halal meat could turn anyone into a Muslim.
Ohman’s comments have been widely criticised on social media.
