Excerpt:
The Swedish consulate in Jerusalem has been forced to distance itself from a cartoon picture featuring a child in a hijab to celebrate the end of Ramadan, after a backlash from people accusing them of supporting the oppression of children.
The picture was posted to social media website Facebook on June 15th to mark Eid-al-Fitr, the traditional Muslim feast that marks the end of Ramadan, with the caption, “Eid Mubarak from Sweden!”
The consulate was slammed by many who commented on the picture, asking whether they supported the oppression of children as the young girl was wearing a hijab, Expressen reports.
In Sweden, the issue of honour-culture within the migrant community has grown over the years, with an estimated 240,000 young people living under its yoke.
