The deputy speaker of the Swedish parliament caused an outrage by suggesting that Jews living in Sweden should ditch their identity if they wish to be considered Swedes.

The claim by Bjorn Soder, of the Sweden Democrats party, was made in an interview with a Swedish newspaper, according to the International Business Times.

In the interview, Soder said that "most Jewish people in Sweden left behind" their racial identity in order to assimilate.

He further said that it would be a problem if there were too many people in Sweden “who belong to other nations” and had non-Swedish identities. Paying immigrants to go home would also help to avoid “foreign enclaves” and instead “create a society with a common identity”, he said, according to remarks quoted by The Guardian. …

The headline is very different from what he actually said:

In the interview, Soder said that "most Jewish people in Sweden left behind" their racial identity in order to assimilate. He further said that it would be a problem if there were too many people in Sweden “who belong to other nations” and had non-Swedish identities. Paying immigrants to go home would also help to avoid “foreign enclaves” and instead “create a society with a common identity”, he said, according to remarks quoted by The Guardian.

As far as national identity is concerned it depends on what self segregationist populations do with their isolation.

Muslims try to impose their will on the rest of society while Amish simply keep to themselves. The various Jewish sects run the whole range.

“...He has not called for the banning of Judaism, he has called for Swedish Jews to be Swedish first....”
*****************************************************************************************************
Yes, and he held up the Jews (who are assimilated into Swedish culture) as an example of what other immigrant groups should to be like. The article twisted that and tried to make him sound anti-Semitic (which he definitely is not). The Swedish establishment fears the Sweden Democrats like American RINOs/’RATS fear the Tea Party and Ted Cruz.

>> Soder said that “most Jewish people in Sweden left behind” their racial identity in order to assimilate.

Racial identity? I suppose he meant cultural identity. But that too is a strange characterization given Israel’s democratic way and the personal nature of Judaism which normally doesn’t impinge the inhabited society.

Please not that the quote of Soder ended BEFORE the words “their racial identity” appeared. Those were NOT Soder’s words, but were carefully chosen to slander him by misleading casual readers. I’ve learned that I have to look critically at EVERYTHING I read (and hear) to understand whether there is an attempt to demonize someone (particularly someone who is conservative).

Hitler also didn't like Jews, and look what his "solution" was.

Makes me wonder what church this guy goes to.

Excellent point, and I usually pay attention to such things.

To be fair, I think the ones really messing up Sweden... are the Swedes. If it weren’t for the policies they vote for and love, no Muslims would even be there.

"Yeah, ‘cause Jews are the ones establishing ... their own laws."

This guy might beg to differ.

“Swedes need to figure out that the Jews aren’t their problem, the raghead muzzies are.”

To the aryan swedes, both jews and raghead muzzies are dirty semites.

Inexplicably, I can’t seem to figure out the difference between the U.K.I.P. and the B.N.P.

The only thing that pops out at me, would be a comparison between the B.N.P. and the Tea Party? I might be off in that regard.

Jews aren’t true Swedes, but all the Muslims they import are? Europe is descending into madness.

BNP: Original far right party, quasi-fascist, liked confrontational street antics. The leader has been harassed by the government and arrested on trumped up charges.

UKIP: New party started to fight against immigration and the EU, without the baggage of the BNP. It has been much more successful than the BNP ever was.

I knew a Jewish Swede (Swedish Jew?) in high school. Her father was a Swede and her mother was a Jewish refugee from Nazi German. The girl was smokin’ hot . . . and she had a mini-me in the form a younger sister. Lightning struck twice!
