Topless Femen Activists Target Swedish Mosque
The Local ^ | 6/29/2013

Posted on 06/29/2013 10:56:52 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Three women from the feminist activist movement Femen entered a mosque on Södermalm in central Stockholm on Saturday morning, baring their breats and chanting "No sharia" and "Free women".

The women entered the main central Stockholm mosque at around 11am on Saturday.

Mosque employees called the police who dispatched several units to the scene. Shortly after their arrival they emerged with the still bare-breasted women and walked to a transport vehicle.

According to the duty police officer Jonas Svalan the women are now suspected of disorderly conduct due to their nudity and assault for having allegedly shoved somebody.

The women are reported to originate from Egypt, Tunisia and Sweden.

Femen is originally a Ukrainian women's group that applies "sextremism" to draw attention to equality and democracy issues.

The group's perhaps most high profile campaign came during the European Football Championship in 2012 when Femen's bare-breasted leaders capitalized on the massive media presence to stage protests against sex trafficking.

The group has recently been very active in France and only last week several activists accosted the French President François Hollande as he visited the Paris airshow.

Earlier this year they caused outrage when they bared all at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris to bid their own 'adieu' to Pope Benedict.

“While I probably won’t be sending them money....”

Moral support is sufficient here. Sending them cash
would be making a boob out of oneself.

Don’t know anything about this group, other than what can be gathered by their name, but I applaud what they did here.

But doing it topless proves what exactly? Lol.

it grabs attention and guarantees publicity. PETA has been doing it for years.

I live at 123 Elm Street and I support sharia. Protest at my house tomorrow at 2:00 until whenever the cops show up.

It proves that people post articles and others like us read them when they involve topless women.

TTIUWP!

1. The girls are almost universally quite photogenic.

2. The photos are almost universally NSFW and not FR-appropriate.

3. The girls are almost always screaming loudly. As beautiful as they are, one would get tired of having them around. Eventually.

Duct tape? That's really going to hurt when she removes it.

Mad Mo would probably enjoy the view even though he prefers younger girls.

Aleksandra Shevchenko is hot. Not sure why running around topless supports womens rights, but I like it.

Unlike the fems here who’s only issue is making sure it is legal to kill your baby.

The ‘devout Muslims’ shagging young boys probably didn’t even look up.
