Legalized Child Kidnap: How Sweden Is Attacking Muslim Families
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ couldn’t have been more correct when he
compared Allah’s mercy to that of the most merciful creature, the mother.
Now has come a time, however, when secular authorities claim this role for themselves. It is they, they assure us—not the mother (or the father)—who know best and know how to treat children with the mercy they need. Your daughter feels like a boy, you let her live her fantasy or
face the penalty. You’re not happy with what your school is teaching your young kids about sex and gender, keep your voice low or prepare to be
investigated for terrorism.
The Swedish Children and Young Persons Act (
LVU) was first legislated in 1990. It permits workers of Social Services to forcibly remove children from their parents. Earlier in 1979, domestic
corporal punishment was prohibited, giving legal grounds for forced child removal. The law requires numerous procedures before the child is finally taken, but the impunity enjoyed by Social Services has led to countless violations.
Although non-Muslims like
George Touma have made significant efforts in exposing those crimes, it was the global Muslim community that recently made the hashtag
#اوقفوا_خطف_اطفالنا (“stop kidnapping our children”) go viral after suspecting religious persecution. The tarnished image of Sweden has forced its officials to blame “radical Islam” for the
“terrorist” campaign. On the ground, afflicted families from all around Sweden gathered to protest in front of the Swedish parliament in Malmö.
The fact that
non-Muslims in Sweden are facing the same torture doesn’t make it any less of an inhumane practice. Increasingly, more
child protection laws are being legislated in the West.
Unjust child removal is not limited to Sweden.
This liberal child protection program fundamentally questions the role of biological parents in providing instinctive care and protection for their children. The liberal secular agenda insists that biological parents have no special and unique relationship of care and authority over their children over and above any “trained” social worker. This is a dark lie against human nature.

The Context of Child Removal
The official
Swedish account has always held the parents responsible for their children’s removal. Parents are allegedly accused of their parental incompetence due to incidental domestic violence. There are a plethora of codes in Swedish family law that can be violated simply as a result of traditionally following Islam, Christianity, or Judaism. For instance, controlling a child’s sexual behavior by teaching them chastity or modesty is labeled as
“honor-based” violence[1].

In many cases, when Swedish Social Services found a reason to remove a child, all siblings were immediately removed. The children are commonly
taken to different cities, separated from their siblings, and
sparingly allowed to communicate with their parents and only in the presence of a social worker.
When do the Social Services intervene?
Not all parents know exactly how social services come to know about their private matters. However, some of the
means suspected include reports from neighbors, ex-wives/husbands, and teachers at school. Based on witnessed incidents, anyone in public will report alleged physical violence seen in the street or even the suspected “psychological instability” of parents who, for instance, show a moment of anger on a phone call.
Obviously, some children report abuse themselves, but how seriously should one take a five-year-old’s account? This was the case with
Ola Al-Haajj whose younger sister’s fake story led to their six years of abduction. You can expect children to come up with such stories under continuous interrogations by teachers in an atmosphere that encourages children to consider parents as bad influences on their lives.
The irony of this all is that many of the removed children have reported the
indifference of the social services when they complained about more serious violence at foster homes.
Is LVU justified?
There are probably extreme cases in Sweden of drug-addicted or divorced parents who can’t take proper care of their children, but
32,000 child removal cases in a year raise many questions.
Eissa Eissa, a former executive at the Swedish Social Services, resigned after the recent incidents. In this
interview, he admits that 80% of the child removal cases are unnecessary because they “don’t have enough time” to thoroughly investigate each case.
Regardless of the numbers, why are the children not transferred to a relative’s home? Why are they not hosted by families with a similar religious background? Why are migrant children removed before educating the parents about LVU? Why are there no parental rehabilitation programs for incompetent parents? And, what justifies
removing a newborn child from the hospital?
