Finnish parliamentary election – April 19th 2015

If Timo Soini refuses to make immigration the number one issue of his campaign as Jussi Halla-Aho has suggested, the party will be doomed in the April elections. True Finns-voters number one priority is immigration issues. Don't get me wrong, i do not believe True Finns-voters are single-issue voters. They care about the partys stance on the economy and the EU but the fact is that like the norwegian Progress Party the lifeblood of the True Finns is it's opposition to non-western immigration (especially from muslim countries). If Timo Soini thinks he can sweeps this issue under the rug in a quest for greater legitimacy, he's more delusional than i thought.

Well, what I meant was that they don't seem very religious. Both are liberal on social issues and the woman doesn't wear a headscarf, for example.

Islam is a religion, not a political movement.

Islam does not have a separation between the secular world and the spiritual world as christianity does (Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's). Mentioning that the people in question do not adhere to the political side of Islam is a relevant fact in a political discussion. In Sweden we've had islamist MPs like Mehmet Kaplan (now minister of housing) and Abdizirak Waberi with close contacts to the Muslim brotherhood.
