Tuulia Alanko wrote that the imam's statement about Finnish law applying to Muslims did not, in her opinion, answer the question of the status of sharia law nor did it exclude the possibility of considering it important. She described the response as misleading. Alanko claimed that Aw-Musse had not distanced himself from sharia law or the idea of separate sharia courts in Finland. She suggested that this was related to both the imam's role and the fact that messages pleasing to Finns might be beneficial in the long term. According to Alanko, Aw-Musse could have directly stated that he did not want to replace Finnish laws with an Islamic legal system. Alanko finally referred to Jari Sarasvuo's statement that sharia or a parallel culture was not needed in Finland. #Suomi #Islam #Šaria (translated)

Leena Pihanurmi criticized a multi-page interview published in Seura magazine, in which Demokraatti journalist Susanna Luikku interviewed Vertti Kiukas from Soste ry. According to Pihanurmi, Kiukas expected the leftist government to continue supporting 700 social and health organizations with hundreds of millions of tax euros. Pihanurmi wrote that the number of organization workers and volunteers varied in different Soste sources. He stated that Kiukas announced the number as 1.5 million, whereas earlier it had been reported as 550,000 and 204,271. Pihanurmi characterized the content of the interview as threats and baseless complaints. He claimed it aimed to secure the financing of the bloated sector and its jobs, which he believed were funded by Veikkaus. According to Pihanurmi, the article did not mention that the sector had grown over decades by misleading the poor and those with gambling problems. https://t.co/Inulcjd4lX #politiikka #järjestö #sote (translated)

Arto Koskelo said he wants to see Purra as prime minister. He said he would completely lose faith in humanity if Purra turned out to be a mediocre compromiser in her role, an indifferent politician to her values, who seeks to please an imaginary average. #PurranPääministeri #Politiikka #UskonKysymykset (translated)

Antti Sallinen said he returned from Stockholm in the morning and had originally taken the day off before a long shift the next day. However, he mentioned that he went to work the night shift to cover an unexpected absence. According to him, the shift was spent supervising the oncology ward at Meilahti Hospital. https://t.co/fzOkN6vOQL #työ #sairaanhoito #Tukholma (translated)

Katariina Souri wrote that the price of food had risen by 25.1 percent since August 2021, while the rise in other consumer prices was around 18.1 percent according to her. She referred to a news article from Helsingin Sanomat and an estimate from researchers at the Natural Resources Institute Finland, which indicated that the necessity of food reduced the pressure on stores to lower prices. Souri noted that HS had not addressed the concentration of trade as a reason. According to Souri, the combined market share of the S-group and Kesko in the retail grocery sector was 82.5 percent, with the S-group controlling nearly half of the grocery market. She wrote that Finnish trade was the most concentrated in Europe and that the S and K groups were among the ten most profitable trading entities in the world. According to her, the combined operating profit of the S-group and SOK Corporation had grown from 280 million euros in 2021 to 495 million euros in 2025. In the first half of the current year, the profit had improved by 20 percent compared to the previous year. Souri claimed that the price received by primary producers and the profit development of the S-group had not progressed in the same proportion. According to her, a farmer or rancher was left with approximately 4–12 cents from a normal food euro, depending on the product, while most of the share went to the trade and the tax authorities. She considered the agricultural subsidies to effectively flow significantly into the profits and growth of the S-group and criticized the influence of the chains on zoning and legislation. Souri assessed that the duopoly in trade weakened the position of small businesses and free competition and restricted innovations and consumer choices. She wrote that politicians had failed to intervene in the situation. Additionally, she reported that Pellervo Economic Research had predicted at the end of September that food prices would rise in the following year as well. #ruoka #hintanousu #kauppa (translated)

Tanja Aidanjuuri wrote that the plan in Helsinki to ban advertising of fossil fuels could, according to her, cost the city nearly 100 million euros in advertising revenue. She criticized the proposal as unnecessary and absurd and listed as examples of potentially restricted advertising gasoline and diesel cars, flights, cruises, synthetic clothing, plastic products, and fossil fuels. Aidanjuuri described that the Greens in Vantaa could, in her opinion, follow the same line and that advertising would then practically be limited to, for example, veggie sausages, rainbow flags, and new mosques. She also pointed out that taxpayer money would be used for the handling of the matter. Aidanjuuri cited a proposal stating that the advertising ban would be investigated in the preparation of the next outdoor advertising agreement for Helsinki's public areas and that the advertising agreements of Urban Traffic Ltd would also be taken into account. The assessment would examine, among other things, the legal boundaries of the ban, its climate and environmental impacts, effects on the city's economy, the city's own communication and marketing, as well as the media landscape. The proposal also mentioned the possibility of examining advertising's ethical principles more broadly and limiting outdoor advertising from entities considered to violate human rights and particularly polluting industries. #Helsinki #ilmastonmuutos #mainonta (translated)

Elina Hiltunen thanked for the support she received and said she understood that things might have looked unusual from the outside. She claimed to have angered certain political entities, which she said were trying to discourage and silence her. Hiltunen stated that she had not given in or stopped speaking, which she said had led to new attempts to pressure her. She asked why these entities saw her as such a significant threat. #politiikka #vapaaehtoisuus #yhteiskunta (translated)

Juho Salo wrote that with the same amount of money, it would have been possible to get 10–15 granite pyramids for Finland, at least five nuclear power plants, or seven biogas plants refining biodiesel from peat. He suggested that development aid be converted into a voluntary tax or banned by law. #kehitysapu #kestävyys #ilmastonmuutos (translated)

The author reported that the police suspect a serious series of sexual offenses. According to him, the accused worked as a teacher and was active in scouting and the Salvation Army in his free time. The author stated that the accused had admitted to some of the acts and denied others. He noted that the investigation was the police's responsibility, and he did not comment on the specific case. #seksuaalirikos #police #opettaja #FI (translated)

Alex Günsberg wrote that he considered the only acceptable model for development aid to be that the parliament would leave the Finnish people's money alone and open a voluntary donation account. According to him, taking the funds of one's own people by force and sending them elsewhere should be considered treason. #kehitysapu #Suomi #lahjoitukset (translated)

According to the author, the exercise could not be kept secret if two helicopters were buzzing around near Aalto University for about half an hour around 3 PM. She noted that there were hundreds of Finnish and foreign students in the area, as well as acoustics-related laboratories and measurement devices, and added that there was free information flow in Finland. #AaltoYliopisto #Opiskelijat #Tiedonvälitys #FI (translated)

Peltsi Peltola wondered whether such headlines could still be written if religions, names, or cultures could not be mentioned in them. He assessed that not everything would pass with everyone, and at the same time speculated that such writing would increase opposition — possibly intentionally by the journalists. https://t.co/r0fAFsZi0X #mediakritiikki #kulttuuri #vapaaehtoisuus (translated)

For a change, another organizational rant article in HS. Both the Mannerheim League for Child Welfare mentioned by the author and the Niilo Mäki Foundation, which finances the Niilo Mäki Institute, are both organizations bloated with gambling loss funds. In both, there is plenty to cut besides guiding volunteer activities. For instance, from research, project and material manufacturing, lobbying, and administration. Mervi Viteli-Hietanen, who is concerned about the Reading Granny and Grandpa activities, has otherwise worked as a journalist and has written at least for the Pirkanmaa Left's Vasen kaista online magazine. https://t.co/SGzlbE6OyK #järjestöt #näkökulma #yhteiskunta (translated)

Accused: Iranian singer Parastoo Ahmad Crime: Not wearing a headscarf, shoulders visible Punishment: 74 lashes Not in the Middle Ages but in the year 2026. "In Iran, adult women must dress 'modestly' and wear a headscarf that covers their hair." #Iran #naistenoikeudet #vapaaus #IR (translated)

It is truly wonderful that the author has received significant help from organizations that operate with government funding. I have also received help myself. However, personal experience does not in any way prove that organizations and foundations funded by taxpayers' money could not have waste, inefficiency, overlaps, and outright misuse of tax funds, as evidenced by the staggering salaries of some organizational leaders. When people talk about organizational waste, they are referring to the things mentioned above. They do not mean grassroots assistance work, peer support services, and the work of experts with experience and other volunteers. https://t.co/ocRnkc83F5 #järjestöt #valtionavustus #veronmaksajat (translated)

I uploaded this video about the Green Party's immigration goals to TikTok, but its visibility was limited to zero apparently due to leftist reports. So I'll post it here too, in case it stays free from censorship. https://t.co/B9S99d8Yj3 #Vihreät #maahanmuutto #sensuuri (translated)
