Mustafa Panshiri, former police officer but now debater and lecturer, fled to Sweden from Afghanistan as an 11-year-old.
In his book "7 tips for Mustafa", he advises newcomers to add a Western name, which can be used, for example, to look for a job or sell something on the internet.
Mustafa Panshiri says that he wishes he himself had received similar, concrete advice when he came to Sweden.
- You do not delete anything but you add a new identity and they can coexist with each other without there being any conflict between them, he says in Mötet.
Sees risk of exclusion
The Council has launched a debate on integration and assimilation.
Rapper Houman Sebghati is one of those who reacted.
He believes that it is a short-term solution that risks creating an exclusion of those who do not want to add a name.
- If we take, for example, Ahmed and Anders, or Mohammed and Magnus, and say "change name".
Then we throw all the people named Ahmed under the bus, he says.
