Sweden's biggest concern is... Read on:

Tightening security? Ratcheting up surveillance of mosques? Enhanced profiling of Muslims? Nope. Sweden’s biggest worry is over a potential rise in “Islamophobia.”


Sweden’s integration minister Erik Ullenhag is meeting on Thursday with representatives from the Swedish Muslim community to develop a strategy for combating Islamophobia in the wake of the Stockholm suicide bombing.

Sweden looks to combat Islamophobia - The Local



The Bare Naked Islam blog offers its own forthright editorial comment, plus plenty of other links to Swedish Muslim news:

In the wake of a deadly Muslim suicide terrorist attack, what do you think is Sweden’s major concern? « Bare Naked Islam's Weblog



Swedish politicians, as ours do, may rush to talk about 'anti-terrorism' measures. But in order to sop to permanently surly, 'insulted' Muslims they also must be seen to attempt to brainwash an untermensch bigoted Public.

"Islam a religion of hate and murder? Despite what the Koran says advocating that stuff, how could you be so wacist to imagine such a thing?!"


It's disgusting that the onus seems once again switched to trying to marshall the thoughts of a disgusted public, rather than to penetrate the 'Muslim Community' to root out every single volatile Islamist and run them straight to jail.
 
The Swedes remind me of the Mandan Sioux. They did not resist their white colonizers. They went quietly into oblivion.

There are still some Americans who are like the Lakota Sioux. Prepared to fight to the end despite the sure and certain knowledge of impending defeat.

It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
 
Biggest concern?

I'd say that is your spin on it, but whatever floats your boat.

Just to keep things in perspective, since you can't be bothered to tell the whole truth even when the link to it is right there on the very page you're reading:

Islamic extremism 'a threat' to Sweden: Säpo - The Local

Violent Islamic extremism is a threat to Sweden that shouldn't be underestimated, a report published on Wednesday by Swedish security service Säpo has found.
...
Ohlsson emphasised that the terrorist attack which rattled central Stockholm on Saturday was an "unacceptable attack against our open democratic society," but that Wednesday's press conference had been planned since October and independently of the blasts.

According to the report, Säpo knows of around 200 Islamic extremists living in Sweden, 20 of whom became radicalised in the country in 2009.

Up to 80 percent of them are part of so-called "violence-prone networks," while the remainder are "loners" and people with extremist contacts abroad.

"However, this is likely a low estimate, as we only included confirmed connections," Rembe explained, adding that "it's not one cohesive network," but consists of individuals who have varying levels of contact.

I'd say that Sweden is concerned with both issues, don't you think? While they are perfectly aware of the threat in their midst, they also want to be prevent the actions of the few from reflecting on the many. Do you have a problem with this?
 
:lol: My favourite part is the if the Swedes are hunting out terrorists in the Muslim community, RoP expects them to publish it in the paper.

Western society kills more of its own citizens through crappy driving, unhealthy food and general idiocy than all the terrorist attacks combined. If people didn't act like frightened idiots about terrorist attacks, they would have no more impact than the everyday homicides in a major city. Comparing a small number of homicides to genocide is hyperbole of a pitiable nature. Its sad that someone who lives in the most powerful nation is the world is so afraid of a bunch of powerless losers.

That's ambiguous. Is it that I expect the Swedish news to report that they do so? Or is it that I want every detail of every case to be splashed across the Internet and international media?



f people didn't act like frightened idiots about terrorist attacks, they would have no more impact than the everyday homicides in a major city.

And enough of those seem more trivial nowadays:

Nice way to look down on the fears and concerns of real people in the Public.

When it comes to telling ordinary people what to think rather than force the Muslim Community itself to face up and think hard then I do, yes.

Certainly in England, with 40% or more Muslims wanting Sharia Law and with virtually every Muslim family statistically likely to have one or more extremists, I think we know who Governments should be bothering.

I was not talking about terrorists. I was talking about illegal aliens. Terrorists will kill a few Americans, but they aren't an existential threat to America. The citizens of Mexico are an existential threat.

Besides, America will soon relinquish its role as the most powerful nation on earth because its status is being changed from first world to third world.
 
Seriously mate, do you not have anything better to do then rant against muslims all day?

Illegal aliens come to the U.S. looking for work. They have no genocidal ambitions whatsoever. Your paranoia is way off base.

You should be happy then, as the illegal immigrants will stop coming if they can't get decent jobs over here.

The entire spectrum of Mexico's impoverished classes are coming here. Some come to work, some come to gang bang, some come to escape Mexican justice, some come to commit crimes against Americans, some come to have babies on American soil, and some come here to retire. There is no single reason any more that accounts for the mass movement of Mexican citizens to the US illegally.

The situation appears different for someone for whom this is an abstract intellectual construct than it does for someone who lives next to a barrio composed primarily of illegal Mexican citizens and their American born children. The former has no actual experience of what life has become for the latter. As a result the former lacks understanding of street level reality.

Yes, once America has been reduced to the level of Mexico there will be no incentive for Mexicans to come to America. Instead, they will take over Canada. When they have devoured Canada, there is no telling where they will go in their search for liebenstraum.

Illegal immigrants come over the border primarily looking for work. It isn't the only motivation, but it by far the most common.

I have lived in California my entire life.

You are aware their is no Mexico/Canada border right?

Where do you live in California? Do you live in the Santa Cruz Mountains where illegal aliens with guns tend marijuana plantations in remote areas? Do you live in South Central LA? Do you live in Fresno, Mendota, Madera or any of the other Central Valley garden spots? Where do you live?

I have probably forgotten more about geography than you will ever know. Where do you live in California?

I have lived primarily in the LA area and the Bay area. I even once came across a pot growers campsite in redwood national park. I also played soccer for about 15 years.

Based on your completely absurd claims, I can only conclude either you have never dealt with illegal immigrants or you are simply trying to troll me.
 
Yeah, drug gangs suck. That doesn't mean you get to make ridiculous claims about genocidal ambitions. MS-13 sells drugs for money and fight with other gangs, they don't do ethnic cleansing.

Neither Crazy Horse nor Tecumseh committed genocide. They stood their ground despite the certainty of defeat. That is the point. I will be overwhelmed, but I will stand my ground. No peace.

Where did you live in the Bay Area? People in the Bay Area generally self-segregate when it comes to neighborhoods and cities.

Illegal immigration is up close and in my face 24/7/365. That impacts my views. If your experience with illegal immigration is less intense than mine, I am inclined to challenge your views as not being based on actual experience.
