Our suburbs don't need more religion

"Our suburbs do not need more religion"

"Debater: Ebba Busch Thor, christianity does not solve the problem of repression, poverty and crime."

"This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against."

"the DEBATE. Christian democrat party leader Ebba Busch Thor has in recent times alleged that in the suburbs, look what happens when traditional values are disappearing."

"It's good to Ebba Busch Thor would like to discuss the integration. For too long, necessary conversation about integration drowned in the loud discussions on migration. But when Ebba Busch Thor wants to strengthen the role of religion in our suburbs and utanförskapsområden and in politics, it is at worst a dangerous path that would strengthen the urban traditional forces than more. As best it is irrelevant."

"nothing could be further from the truth. The reality is that in the suburbs, we see what happens when the traditional values are still there."

"According to Ebba Busch Thor would what she calls the suburb – like in my home town of Malmö is a part of the city – in addition to the feel good of more christianity to create better integration. That more religion would be a solution to the suburbia problem is a new and creative idea. Absolutely. It is also a good idea? No."

"we Want to have more immigrant women enter the labour market in Malmö? Yes. Is more christianity the solution to it? No. In Sweden is 58 per cent among foreign-born women are employed. It is higher than the overall proportion of women who work in the christian european countries with a greater focus on tradition and religion, such as Italy, e.g. It is not christianity that gets women into the labour market. "

"we Want to reduce the hedersförtrycket in Malmö? Yes. Is more christianity the solution to it? No. When we see that in our utanförskapsområden are forced to live in hedersförtryck, it is precisely the traditional and religious values, muslim as christians, that is the problem."

"The values needed to permeate all parts of society is the consequence of the liberal successes that have forced out Sweden and Europe from religion, more value laden information stålgrepp. More religion in the suburbs would only weaken the position of the frihetsvärderingar Sweden is based on."

"It is when man's law and human rights stands above the religion that man is allowed to grow and thrive. When religion strengthens its grip, as it did in many suburbs, man becomes less free and, in particular, women are prevented from living their lives as they wish. This is why liberals have taken the fight against the religions and traditions enforced requirement in all its forms and in all places. And the fight must again be strengthened in Sweden."

"You can do a simple test with a couple of basic questions. In what kind of society are you living the best as a woman? Where is it best to be gay? In which part of the world, it is easiest to belong to a religious minority? The results are not carved in stone, and there are perverse effects, but the chance is great that the answers pointing out the communities built, not on religion, but on liberal values and a clear separation of church and state. "

"Where you have the greatest opportunities to realize yourself? No matter if you are a lesbian, atheist, muslim animal rights activist or feminist d learn the answer usually be the same: in a country where religion does not play any major role."

"All the freedoms and rights we cherish in Sweden has been shaped in the struggle against religion and traditional forces. Not only freedom of expression, freedom of association, freedom of religion, rule of law and democracy. Also, individualism, gender equality and sexual emancipation. For it was not the church that was the catalyst for the freedom of religion in Sweden. It was not conservatives who wanted to drop the word free. It was not KD who fought for gay rights. And it is still not."

"I live in Malmö, sweden and fully share Ebba Busch Thor's concern for the development of Malmö and the rest of Sweden's utanförskapsområden. Children who did not pass the school, adults - especially women - who can not move freely and the merchants who can not have open or live under the threat and blackmail. "

"To give everyone the same opportunities to grow and live in freedom is the foundation for my commitment. This is precisely why it is important that the major problems that exist for those who live under religions, and traditions of oppression, poverty and crime are being addressed with serious solutions from our leading politicians. More christianity is no such solution."
