Cops Haul In Gay Politician Who Criticized Islam, Again
In January 2017, Finnish politician Sebastian Tynkkynen made international headlines when he was fined €300 for criticizing Islam in a post on Facebook.
“The fewer Muslims in Finland, the better…The less we see of Muslims, it is safer. We have to get rid of Islam before it is too late,” he wrote.
Now, the Finns Party city council member of Oulu, Finland is back in the hot seat. In a video published to YouTube, Tynkkynen says cops came knocking on his door after stumbling upon another social media post, this one two years old.
“In the Middle Ages, in Europe, there was one religion above criticism,” Tynkkynen says in the video. “Any kind of resistance to Christianity led to punishment. After 500 years of progress we are in the same situation in Europe. But only the religion has changed. Criticism towards Islam leads to punishment.”
Tynkkynen is gay. Although he says he hates identity politics, he feels it’s more than relevant when discussing Islam considering the religion of peace’s treatment of homosexuals.
Once he was elected chairman of the largest youth political party in Finland, Tynkkynen got on the radar of European leftists who, he claims, mounted sustained personal attacks.
