(Breitbart) Swedish public broadcaster SVT has been criticised after inviting an imam from a controversial school onto a programme to explain the Christian holiday of Easter.
Television programme Helgstudion invited Imam Nasir Ahmad Arif and the Church of Sweden Archbishop Antje Jackelén to discuss Easter and what the holiday meant to them.
“We celebrate that Jesus went from life, to death, and the path to new life. Christ is risen,” [Archbishop] Jackelén stated, according to Nyheter Idag.
Imam Arif spoke of the Islamic celebration of Aashura, which he claimed was similar to the Jewish celebration of Passover and is recognised by some Muslims as a day to recognise the death of the grandson of their prophet, Mohammed, at the Battle of Karbala in 680 AD.
