The bomb exploded shortly after 9 a.m. Friday in a blast that ripped through two apartment buildings and could be heard for miles. Twenty-five people suffered cuts and bruises and 250 apartments were damaged. A nearby kindergarten was evacuated. Hospitals jumped into disaster mode. Photos from the scene show rows of demolished balconies and shattered windows. It was ”absolutely incredible” that no one was severely injured, a police spokesperson said. It is the kind of news we usually associate with war zones, but this bombing took place in Linköping, a peaceful university town in southern Sweden. Remarkably, it was not...

Motto: In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength-George Orwell A sixty year old Swedish man was accused of hate-speech, an Orwellian term that feels like home in Sweden (and other progressive EU countries by the way) nowadays, after he made a factually accurate statement about Somali immigrants having low IQ. Even if his statement was technically correct and undebatable, it is evident you can’t tell the truth in Sweden anymore, and now this thought-criminal is facing up to 2 years in jail after a female...

A Jewish chapel in the southern Swedish city of Malmo was the target of an antisemitic firebomb attack on Monday evening marking the second firebombing on a Jewish building in less than a week in the country.

“We Social Democrats are working to ensure all priests will consecrate everyone, including same-sex couples,” Lofven told Kyrkans Tidning magazine. “I see parallels to the midwife who refuses to perform abortions. If you work as a midwife you must be able to perform abortions, otherwise you have to do something else… It is the same for priests,” he said.

According to the Swedish security service, the number of radicalized Muslims in Sweden has grown from hundreds to thousands since the beginning of the Syrian Refugee Crisis. Furthermore, the number of intelligence pieces that the service looks into every month has tripled, from 2,000 to 6,000. According to the agency’s head, Anders Thornberg, Swedes “have never seen anything like it,” and the proliferation of Islamic extremism represents a “historic challenge” for Sweden... A report from the NEE (us) estimates that migrants will cost Sweden 19% of its national government budget in 2017. Most of this money is spent on lavish...

Last night we noted that, rather than help police arresting a suspect in Friday's horrendous terrorist attack in Stockholm, migrant residents of the suburb of Rinkeby apparently decided instead to pelt the arresting officers with rocks. Of course, the incident was just one more example of the unintended consequences of Sweden's 'open border' policies and a direct contradiction of arguments from senior Swedish officials that would suggest that the influx of migrants hasn't made towns like Rinkeby any less safe. That said, less than 24 hours later, the Swedish postal service has been forced to suspend service to Rinkeby after...

Sweden is the grenade capital of Europe but that hasn’t deterred the Swedes from welcoming back their ISIS fighters. Sweden’s Minister for Culture and Democracy Alice Bah Kuhnke encapsulates the misguided mindset of the left, especially in a country with a feminist government in charge. She insists returning ISIS be integrated back into society. This is a variation of the former U.S. State Department spokesperson Marie Harf’s comment that they just need jobs. Don’t they have jails in Sweden? They are not only welcoming back fighters who want to tear Western society to shreds and who have been raping, plundering...

At least 300 Islamic State fighters are now receiving government benefits in Sweden. SVT Nyheter reported (translated): People who are planning terrorist trips leave fewer traces, it makes it difficult to predict who is planning a trip. In addition, according to a new report to grant cheat is great among travelers. Characteristic of the Swedish travelers is that almost all the 300 individuals who report looked at received some form of government grants and that there is to have people in Sweden who handle mail and another to give the impression that the person is still in Sweden. According to...

According to the government’s thinking, not only will it give Muslim migrants work, the hope is that automotive companies like Volvo will use the camels in their advertisements in Sweden. Marketing genius, eh? The government thinks that tourists might come to Sweden to “pet the camels” and that there “will be fashion shows.” “Camel products will be sold.” I kid you not. And selling of camel milk which “is said to help autism,” which is completely untrue. Camel milk does not cure autism.

The hand grenade detonated in a car park in the Malmö district of Värnhem early on Sunday morning. The incident, which caused damage to dozens of cars but no injuries, was different from previous blasts, according to police. “Many of the other grenade attacks seemed to be aimed at government buildings,” a police spokesman told Swedish newspaper, Aftonbladet. “But in the area around this detonation site there are private residences, business premises and government agencies. Therefore, the goal of the blast is unclear at present,” the spokesman concluded.

In Husby, a suburb in northern Stockholm, emergency services were called at 2am to a parking garage. “There was a lot of smoke. Two cars were totally burned out. There were 47 cars in total in that part of the garage and most of them have sustained smoke damage,” said Sven-Erik Olsson at Stockholm Police. Police found a bottle of flammable liquid at the scene in Husby, an area that was at the centre of extensive unrest three years ago.

A Swedish mother decided it would be a good idea to open up her home to a male refugee from Eritrea, and so she kicked her daughter out of her room to make space. That refugee then decided to sexually assault her 10-year-old daughter. In the summer of 2015, a mother of three children in Sweden brought two third world asylum seekers into her home. To make space, she decided to move her daughter Emma into her own room. On the eve of Aug. 18, 2015, Emma awoke to find Isaac squeezing her chest. She suffered breast pain after the...
