“What does Satan do? What does he do? He takes the rainbow, he puts it on a flag, calls it pride, like what he got kicked out of heaven with, and then floods the earth with it.”
That is the conclusion of a TikTok video reposted by Afrah al-Jabouri, a prominent Danish Muslim influencer.
She has been at the epicentre of political discourse for the last week after participating in TV 2’s reality-debate programme Højskolen.
The video features a man theorising that queer pride was created by Satan after he was kicked out of heaven. It was identified in a review of al-Jabouri’s TikTok reposts by The Danish Dispatch.
Other reposts included celebrations of, or calls to, bomb Israel and the US, as well as praise for the now-deceased Ayatollah Khamenei.
Death to America, death to England
Within the last two years, al-Jabouri has reposted numerous TikTok videos with clear anti-Western messaging:
Armoured Lego minifigures conducting missile strikes on American and Israeli targets, including what appears to be civilian cities.
The Iranian military firing missiles over an Israeli city, with the caption “When Iran attacks, and this is how Israel looks 🙌🏻🇮🇷”.
A content creator counting down the five things he loves most about Iran, from the scenery to the food, and lastly its airstrikes on Israel.
Ayatollah Khamenei addressing US armament in the Middle East, with his supporters chanting “death to America”, “death to England”, and “death to those against the supreme leader”.
Fancams and tributes to a repressive leader
Ayatollah Khamenei, who was killed in a US-Israeli airstrike earlier this year, features heavily in al-Jabouri’s TikTok reposts.
Khamenei was Iran’s long-serving authoritarian Supreme Leader. Under his rule, the regime routinely imprisoned, tortured, and killed political opponents and protesters. Women faced severe restrictions on dress, legal rights, and personal freedoms.
Al-Jabouri celebrated the leader by sharing a fancam-style edit of Khamenei, with pictures of the Ayatollah set to popular Arabic music.
After his death, she also shared multiple tributes to him, often featuring images of Iranians mourning the Supreme Leader.
Some of these posts have also been covered by the Danish newspaper Berlingske.
In another video she reposted, an American Muslim influencer attempts to refute “the fake propaganda” about the Ayatollah and suggests that “if you are still in denial, you are blinded by the hate”.
“Integration problems do not stop at employment”
In a written comment to The Danish Dispatch, Liberal Alliance political spokesperson Mads Strange, who also participated in the debate programme, said, “If she really has shared all those things, then I am speechless at the level of radicalisation that Afrah is displaying in public.
“But I am glad that Danes can now see the extent of extremism that is apparently acceptable to say and share among Muslim influencers.
“When she shares messages that call for our allies to die, or when she believes that the pride flag was created by Satan, it shows that the integration problems do not stop at employment and Danish language skills. Because Afrah speaks excellent Danish and has a job.
“But there is a huge gap between the values she shows with all the things she shares and writes on her social media, and the values we live by in Denmark.”
“Are you a terrorist?”
The debate around al-Jabouri started last week when she was one of ten participants in the second episode of the second season of Højskolen.
Politicians and debaters were asked to spend 24 hours together, during which they would eat together, sing together, and of course debate. Last week’s episode focused on integration and Islam.
At the end of the episode, another participant, Pia Kjærsgaard, founder of the Danish People’s Party (Dansk Folkeparti), pulled out a screenshot of what appeared to be al-Jabouri’s TikTok account.
On the screenshot, al-Jabouri appears to be performing a dance with the on-screen text “Are you a terrorist?” followed by the answer “Yes”.
Another screenshot had the text “Have you ever bombed someone?”, to which al-Jabouri seemingly replied “Not yet”.
Al-Jabouri has denied that the screenshots showed her actual TikTok content. However, TV 2 has since seen another screenshot of the now-deleted TikTok video and has confirmed she was fired from her airport security job for this post.
Debate around screening processes
The debate around al-Jabouri and Højskolen comes at a time when the Folketing is also looking to tighten naturalisation laws to include screening for “undemocratic views”.
By the end of 2026, the government expects an expert group to finish consultations on the feasibility of introducing such mechanisms.
There is currently a large majority in the Folketing supporting screening processes, with other parties going further, and some traditional pro-immigration parties making clear that they are not opposed to screening models.
The Social Democrats (Socialdemokratiet) have been widely criticised by the right-of-centre opposition for agreeing to reintroduce a bill from earlier in the year that would see 2,055 people granted Danish citizenship without screening for “undemocratic views”.
No response from al-Jabouri
The Danish Dispatch has contacted al-Jabouri for comment; however, she has not responded to the request.
Likewise, TV 2 did not respond to The Danish Dispatch’s request for written answers.
We asked about their knowledge and research on al-Jabouri before filming, whether she is still welcome in future programmes, and whether the producers think she is a fair and constructive representation of Muslims in Denmark.
