Here we go again. There are so few instances of actual “Islamophobia” that the victimhood narrative and hysteria surrounding Muslims in the West has to be constantly shored up with fake hate crimes.
“Helsinki city councillor apologises for false story about abusive taxi passenger,” Yle, November 11, 2019:
Social Democratic Party politician and Helsinki city councillor Abdirahim “Husu” Hussein has admitted to fabricating a story about removing a passenger from his taxi after being verbally attacked.
On Monday Hussein retracted his story and apologised for lying. He wrote in a tweet that as a decision-maker he should act honestly and acknowledged that he had betrayed voters’ trust.
“I apologise for my actions and for lying. As a decision-maker it is my duty to be honest. I depend on my voters’ trust and I have now broken that trust. I shall do everything I can to restore trust in my actions,” Hussein said.
“The [SDP] council group will decide on disciplinary action and I will accept the consequences,” he added. Yle was not able to reach Hussein for comment….
About one week ago, Hussein tweeted about an incident in which he claimed that he had stopped along a motorway to order a verbally abusive passenger to leave his taxi. He later modified the story to clarify that he left the passenger at a bus stop and not at the roadside.
At the time Hussein wrote that among other things, the passenger told him to go back to Somalia to defend his country. Later, in a blog post, Hussein provided additional details about the incident and described the individual as asking about his background and reasons for being in Finland.
On Monday Hussein told daily Helsingin Saonmat that while he did have “a man behaving in a racist manner” in his taxi, he did not remove the passenger from the vehicle. He said that he tweeted about the incident to spark discussion about the harassment that taxi drivers face.
“I wrote the tweet on Sunday because I was angry,” he said. Story falls apart under scrutiny
Hussein’s taxi operator, Taksi Helsinki, said it had looked into the incident and found that his story did not match up with GPS data from the taxi. On Monday, the firm tweeted that no passengers had been asked to leave a taxi.
“In response to questions relating to Husu’s claim we confirm that based on an investigation, no one was abandoned and no passenger was removed from a ride. The matter has been discussed with Husu and the matter has been dealt with in this respect.”
These Somalians seem to be troublemakers wherever they happen to land
Yes, other muzzards don’t like them either.
A Finish politician moonlights as a cab driver........LOL!
Surprise Surprise
The governments of countries will let them just take over because they don’t want to hurt their feelings about being accepted.
He was just practicing for being a politician.
Obama the trash of all trash dumped 10,000 in Hermitage, TN. Yes, very close to Andrew Jackson’s old home/plantation. Muslims do not belong here. They are a worse threat then any group to our national security.
I live in a world where countries and cultures just let themselves die. It’s pure madness.
They’re making their own enclaves here in the US. Pretty soon they’ll be their own entities and tell the US to stuff it.
so I can pull out my chopper while you're not looking, and CHOPCHOP your head off!
Just shoot him and be done with it.
Islam is a war plan
