Stickers threatening women with rape if they don’t wear headscarves have been posted in the streets of a small town in Sweden.

The sick messages have appeared on objects in the streets of Nybro, Smaland, along with stickers calling for democracy to be replaced with Islam.

Pictures of them have been circulating on social media – but it’s not clear who put them up.

Disgusting stickers threatening women with rape if they don’t wear headscarves have been posted in the streets of a small town in Sweden

One says ‘women who don’t wear a headscarf are asking to be raped’, the other ‘no democracy. We just want Islam’, according to Fria Tider.

The appearance of the stickers has been reported to police, who admitted that they don’t know who is responsible, Breitbart.com said.

The news site speculated that the stickers could be the work of right-wing groups intent on stirring up racial hatred.

There have been disturbing racially motivated attacks in the country recently.

According to Left-wing Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet there was a violent, unprovoked rampage at Stockholm station by a masked mob of neo-Nazis and football hooligans who were targeting migrants, including north African street children, earlier this year.

It followed another tragic event that also seized international attention.

A 22-year-old woman social worker had been murdered at a home for underage migrant boys near the country’s second city of Gothenburg.

She was said to have been knifed by a 15-year-old Somalian migrant, who has since appeared in court charged with her killing.

The murder put ultra-liberal Sweden’s controversial open-door policy under scrutiny.

It boosted the popularity of both the Right-wing Sweden Democrats party (SD), which wants to stop the flow of migrants, and also the middle of the road Moderates’ Party, which is campaigning for a temporary break on arrivals.

Last year, 163,000 from the war-torn Middle East and poverty-stricken Africa came to this country of 9.8million people.
