Social Democrat and Muslim activist Nalin Baksi has leveled criticism at both the political left and right for contributing to the rise of Islamism in Sweden, according to reports in major Swedish newspapers. In her book "Mina strider" (My Battles), Baksi reportedly argues that the left gave Islamists political legitimacy in the name of anti-racism, while the right financed them through its policies. The debate leader and psychiatric nurse continues her long-standing campaign against Islamism, religious fanaticism, honor oppression, and for women's rights in the publication.
Baksi also reportedly criticized Sweden's school choice system, suggesting it has provided Islamists with funding and opportunities to spread their teachings. Both Aftonbladet and Svenska Dagbladet reported on Baksi's statements on March 15, 2026, with the Social Democrat profile maintaining her position as a critic of Islamism from within the Muslim community.
