Within the Liberals, massive criticism is growing against Riksdag member Carl B Hamilton’s statements about Jews and Muslims earlier today. Now he apologizes.
“My intention has never been to rank different religions. This was a mistake and a mistake on my part,” he writes in a text message to TV4 Nyheterna.
It was in connection with an interview with TV4 Nyheterna that Carl B Hamilton (L) said that he was critical of Richard Jomshof’s (SD) previous statements. He also said he stands by the decision not to vote him out as chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
– I think the limit is reached if they were to start speaking in the same way about Jews, and that is not possible, he said.
Hamilton’s statement has been interpreted as the party making a distinction between the vulnerability of Muslims and Jews, something that has been criticized from several quarters.
