Noah Rafat completely agreed with Richard Jomshof and described Hawar's statements as disgusting. Rafat wrote that his parents came from Kurdistan to Sweden and that the family there had a future. He interpreted Hawar's call for Kurds to be proud and fill Swedish cities as an expression of putting loyalty to Kurdistan above Sweden. Rafat also argued that it was an insult to Sweden and the Swedish people to claim a Kurdish identity while simultaneously describing Swedishness as a construction. Rafat wrote that he himself prioritized his Swedish identity and loyalty to Sweden and raised his children to assimilate into the Swedish nation. Those who placed their Kurdish identity first could do so in Kurdistan, according to him. He described himself as a proud Kurd, but even prouder Swede, emphasizing that it was an active choice. #Sverige #Kurdistan #Identitet (translated)
