Amila Bosnae re-posts a parliamentary election [1] campaign ad of “a candidate for the xenophobic (and powerful) Danish People’s Party” and explains [2]: “The caption on top reads ‘Sharia-land or Sjælland?’ – Sjælland is Zealand, the big island in the eastern part of Denmark with the capital Copenhagen. For some reason they chose to put the Turkish flag on the entire island… because we all know that they have sharia law in Turkey.”
