Just in case anyone is interested in the truth regarding this, take it from people who know them. I am a Muslim and know each of these individuals shown in the picture.Before any one starts to freak out, please be aware that this is a group of about 10-15 Finns (and not over two dozen) who are almost all between the ages of 20-25. All of them are converts–with a large number of them only embracing Islam three or four years ago.
To the best of my knowledge, they did not consult with any of the Mosques or Muslim associations in Helsinki, they have virtually no support in the broader Muslim community, and most important of all, they have no idea how to successfully participate in the political process.
Despite what some here would be led to believe, the Muslims in Finland are for the most part, very apathetic when compared to some of the Muslims in other parts of Europe. Ask yourself why none of the other Muslims that have run for office and are currently serving have suggested such ridiculous ideas as removing alcohol from stores. The reason why is because, unlike these youth, they are focusing on the real concerns.
Yes, in our religion alcohol is forbidden, as is pork etc, but that is not a mandate for us to force that on a non-Muslim–especially if we are living in a non Muslim country.
Most Muslims I know would much rather support a non-Muslim political party that is for the common good of everyone, than support a small group of kids that have zero political awareness.
