Real estate company Contentus wants to kick out the Muslims from a basement mosque in Rosengård. Emotions were high outside the Contentus office in Malmö on Friday.
Basem Mahmoud, the coordinator of the demonstration, says that this is just discrimination against Muslims.
A serious mood prevails outside the Contentus officer. About 60 Muslims have convened to protest. One of the banners says "no to eviction without cause, yes to cooperation." Another says "No to discrimination, we want to have our rights."
Mahmoud says that they have been evicted without cause. They had paid the rent on time for 16 years, and have never received any complaint. This is just about discrimination.
A sign on the door says it will be the housing company's office, but the the office looks dark and empty.
Mahmoud says that nobody has come to conduct a dialog with them. That is what they want, cooperation and dialog.
Sydsvenskan has repeatedly tried to get a comment from Contentus, but without success.
