Kinnaman's opposition to the hat preacher
"Our guests will consist of a mix of people representing the groups that this person has openly expressed hatred for"

The hat preacher plans to spread his message at Joel Kinnaman's restaurant in Stockholm.

Now, the Swedish Hollywood Star's counterpart will come: inviting them to whom Steven Anderson directs his hatred.

"If the person decides to show up for lunch with us, they will have to eat a Lily's Burger with the people who expressly hate them - but as we at Lily's Burger love unconditionally," he writes in an open letter.


The American hat preacher Steven Anderson has invited his followers to Joel Kinnaman's restaurant Lily's Burger in Stockholm to spread his hate message. Now comes Kinnaman's counterpart.

The Swedish Hollywood star, who has taken international stand for gay rights and participated in last year's Pride celebration in Stockholm, writes in an open letter along with Lily's Burger colleague Mahmut Suvakci that they cannot ban Anderson to eat at the restaurant:

"The boundary is subtle when it comes to banning guests based on their opinions, religion or statements they made, even though these do not match our own values ​​that are very different from this person".


"Eat with them hates"

Instead, Kinnaman and Suvakci intend to let the hat preacher meet with a restaurant filled with people who stand for what Anderson hates. In addition, they fit in to mention the hat preacher as "hen", a pronoun that at least previously considered controversial among conservatives:


“Our guests will consist of a mix of people representing the groups that this person has openly expressed hatred for. If the person decides to show up for lunch with us, alone or with his followers, they will have to eat a Lily's Burger with the people who expressly hate them - but we love Lily's Burger unconditionally.

It is still unclear whether Joel Kinnaman himself will be in place, but according to information to Nöjesbladet he hopes to be.

Stopped from five countries
Steven Anderson's visit to Sweden is scheduled for May 29. His congregation in Arizona has about 100 members, but on Youtube, he spreads his message to over 100,000 followers and in total his videos have been shown over 50 million times.

Steven Anderson preaches hatred against Jews, Muslims and LGBTQ people, believes that homosexuality should lead to the death penalty and work towards equality. He wants former President Barack Obama to die and rejoiced at the terrorist attack against a gay club in Orlando 2016 where 50 people lost their lives. He has previously been stopped from entering Jamaica, South Africa, Britain, Canada and Botswana because of his hateful message.

On Tuesday, Steven Anderson uploaded a video where he presented details of his visit to Sweden and urged his followers from all over Europe to join him for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

"A pure provocation"
At Urban Deli at Södermalm in Stockholm, where the hat preacher invited her followers for breakfast, you want to try to stop the preacher's visit:

- We understand why he has chosen these places. It is a pure provocation because we are very clear in our values ​​and where we stand and it is quite contrary to him, ”says Sibel Wolff, marketing and communications manager.

- We have not received any booking and did not know that he planned to come here until he went out and said it in his video. We do not intend to let him do this meeting at Urban Deli for two reasons. First and foremost, the safety and security of our employees and guests. And partly that we do not want him to have a meeting where he spreads that kind of opinion in our premises. How we do this we are investigating, she says.

Nöjesbladet has applied for the third restaurant.


Read all of Joel Kinnaman's open letter about the hatred preacher's planned visit:

"It has come to our knowledge that a certain American public person who has openly expressed hatred opinions over the years has called his social media followers a meeting at one of our restaurants, Lily's Burger Södermannagatan in Stockholm, May 29, 2019 at 1 pm. is aware that through this statement we risk giving him and his views space, but we have been asked our position by several customers and feel it is important to show where we stand.

We as a company do not feel that we are in the position to decide who is welcome or not welcome to our restaurants, as long as our guests follow the law. The boundary is subtle when it comes to banning guests based on their opinions, religion or statements they made, even though these do not match our own values ​​that are very different from this person.

That being said, we have decided to invite our loved ones for lunch at Lily's Burger Södermannagatan 27, in Stockholm, May 29 from 11 am. Our guests will consist of a mix of people representing the groups that this person has openly expressed hatred for. If the person decides to show up for lunch with us, alone or with his followers, will have to eat a Lily's Burger along with the people who expressly hate them - but whom we love unconditionally at Lily's Burger.

Greetings,

Joel Kinnaman, Mahmut Suvakci and the team at Lily's Burger ”
