Egyptson wrote that he had reported SVT Politics Bureau to the Broadcasting Committee for radio and television after a program that aired on September 23, 2026, at 7:30 PM. The report concerned a statement made by religious scholar Simon Sorgenfrei about the religiosity and secularization of Swedish Muslims. Egyptson stated that his objection did not concern the fact that Sorgenfrei was interviewed or presented his scientific assessment. Instead, he questioned whether such a general statement about Swedish Muslims could be presented as a research finding without viewers being informed about limitations in the research data. He also wrote that SVT, in his opinion, had a responsibility to present scientific claims factually and with necessary clarifications. https://t.co/QiECY2D7vX #SVT #Granskningsnämnden #vetenskap (translated)

Egyptson criticized Simon Sorgenfrei's statement in SVT's Politikbyrån that Swedish Muslims were largely secularized. He wrote that Sorgenfrei was presented as a professor of religious studies and made the statement after 22 minutes and 53 seconds into the program. According to Egyptson, Sorgenfrei shifted focus in the next sentence to studies about individuals with roots in countries where the majority are Muslims. Egyptson argued that this group was not the same as Swedish Muslims, as origin and family background do not necessarily determine a person's religious self-identification. Egyptson wrote that he had not found any Swedish study that directly supported Sorgenfrei's broad formulation. He also argued that the same demand for precision that Sorgenfrei had previously placed on research about the Muslim Brotherhood should apply here as well. He referred readers to his article in Fokus and the comment section. #religion #forskning #sekularisering (translated)
