Large increase in Finnish women converting to Islam
Voice of Europe ^ | 22 November 2018

Posted on 11/22/2018 7:31:32 AM PST by Mr. Mojo

Recent months have seen a huge increase in the number of Finnish women converting to Islam and adopting the full face veil.

The niqab and hijab are becoming a common sight in Helsinki after a large influx of Muslim migrants entered the country from 2015 onwards.

Finland has also seen an increase in violent and sexual crime since this, as well as, drug trafficking. However, many Finnish women are converting ‘in search of spirituality’ and also apparently feel more liberated when wearing the full face veil.

The converts also say to be ‘liberated through the Islamic headdress’, which allows them to ‘escape Western beauty ideals and expectations’.

“The paradox is the women themselves feel that they are freed by their headgear while this outfit in the West is generally regarded as a sign of compulsion and inequality,” Tuovinen tells media outlet Yle.

Finland is one of only a few European countries to maintain the right to cover the face with the niqab/hijab.

Maybe they find fur-lined burkas to be fashionable and warm....

You would think the womens movement people would be going nuts about this and asking why these women want to be so oppressed by man. But since they are now muslims they will celebrate their choice to back to the fourth century.

Great brainwashing approach - “Free yourself from Western beauty ideals!”
Idiots.

The women’s movement isn’t about women. It’s about the destruction of western civilization. Islam is just another means.

Aren’t these the same Finnish women who were marching for their ‘rights’ to have equal representation on various corporate boards and political parties? There is some huge disconnect now happening here.

I doubt if all of them making the switch are under immediate threat. Some, yes, but not each one. A few may be caught up in the peer group effect. All their girlfriends are doing it.
Stunning and devastating.

Maybe they think that the PC spineless men and women of their nation have lost. Have they lost their nation to muzzies?

They must be ugly enough to want to hide it. Strange as where I grew up, there were lots of Finns and the women were all fair, blonde and quite attractive. Wonder if they’re marrying Muslims or if married women (to Finns) are adopting the veil also..No accounting for anything happening in this world anymore and we’d all be healthier if we didn’t even try.

LOL

#### em.

All these countries are good for is liberating from other countries that take them over.

I think Italy has a semi strong leader on this illegal problem, i know E Europe has some good leaders, we can’t worry about France, Germany, Finland etc.

We will be in a fight for our very survival in 2 years.

Happy Thanksgiving Trebb, and your family :)

As Western Christianity becomes emasculated and apologetic, people will gravitate towards religions that stand for something.

Probably means they're ugly to start with.

Islam is a dangerous cult. I’m not surprised some people in the invaded countries are pretending to join the cult to avoid being raped or having their head’s cut off.

Solution: Mobilize all armed forces to deport or destroy these invaders. No other solution will ever work to return these countries to pre-invasion cultures.

Using their Christian based freedom to worship a death cult. That won’t end well.
