Along with the ties mentioned in the title Mehmet Kaplan has also likened Israel and the jews to the Nazis in the 30s. This is breaking news and I'm sure there might be some news articles written in English that I will edit in here later. (The Local, not the best source but at least in English http://www.thelocal.se/20160418/swed...uits-after-row )
Last week it was revealed that Mehmet Kaplan has attended a dinner with among others the Swedish head of the local branch of the Grey Wolves. He also has strong ties to various organizations fighting for the right of terrorists to not be put in jail, anti-integration/assimilation organizations, having invited speakers preaching the stoning of homosexuals to parliament etc. etc.
To this we can of course also add him having done a horrible job of his portfolio (housing and IT), overall in my view him being forced out of the cabinet is a great step forward, especially since he is a member of the smaller part of the two-party government.
EDIT: Expecting that any proper publication will probably not have something written up for at least a few hours, I'll just add the Local link which is at least in English.
