On February 23, 2023, a seminar was held in Sweden's Riksdag (Sweden's Parliament) where Egyptson was invited by member of parliament Robert Hannah from the Liberals to present his PhD thesis.[4] There, Egyptson criticized the Swedish politicians who he claimed have given power to an ultra-conservative group to represent Muslims in Sweden.[5]
