This is not a completely recent development.
My great-grandfather came over from Sweden in 1902...

Sweden needs to move from ABBA to Amon Amarth.

May the “Viking” spirit rekindle within the breasts of the native Swedes before it is too late.

The core belief of the Swedish elites is self-hatred.

Head in the sand, Sharia Law denial is also part of it.

ABBA’s song “Soldiers” was about the cold war and how Sweden wouldn’t be immune to destruction if the war turned hot.

I think the song could have a different meaning for Swedes today.

Everyone talks about how euros won’t fight back against the muslims but to me this is a “the longer the fuse, the bigger the bomb” situation. When the euros finally snap its going to get ugly fast for the muslims.

Time for King Carl Gustav to call out Parliament to stop this nonsense.

I’ve heard some of Abba’s music, and had friends with used Saab’s. Sweden deserves what it gets. /sarc

Back in the 80s I took a master’s level course on Islamic History. I remember looking at maps of Islamic incursions into the periphery of Europe, into Spain, the gates of Venice, etc. and of course the thought at the time was how they had ultimately been repelled. Albania was, at the time, something of a curiosity, “the only muslim nation in Europe,” and a vestige of the Ottoman era. Perhaps, if the west does survive, hundreds of years from now, some kid will be looking at a map of the Islamic invasion of the early 21st century and which nations were absorbed into the new caliphate.

Even back in the 80s, there were a few voices crying out, but in the shadow of the cold war, the prevailing concerns were NATO v. Warsaw Pact, not the resurgence of mohammedism.

Yes. I have a far-seeing friend who warned of Islam when we were aiding the Afghans in fighting the Russians.

They had some pretty decent songs. Especially when compared to the absolute garbage that's come out over the past 30 or so miserable years of "music", part of the sharp decline of American culture in general.

Seriously, somebody with a little CGI talent should rework an ABBA video (say... Take a Chance On Me?) edit in some more recent street scenes and cover up Agnetha and Anni-Frid with burkas...

Your friend is brilliant. Has he got any other warnings?

I have learned a lot from him. He says that we should highlight homemade and small shop guns as a way to convince gun haters that gun control is a physical impossibility.

He says all politicians are Machiavellian, and to pay attention to power relationships instead of ideologies.

I value him, but we have grown to disagree on some subjects over the last few decades.

I learned to analyse political situations from the power perspective from him. It is a powerful tool, no pun intended.
