Six people have been convicted of murder by a Swedish district court in an honor violence case in which a man was killed after having an affair with a married woman. The case involved 23-year-old victim Ramin Sherzaj, who was bundled into a car from a square in Gävle in April of 2016, then later found murdered in Sundsvall. Police were first alerted by a jogger who saw a screaming man being taken into a car by “some guys with hoods”. The man was beaten during the journey, then strangled to death. The murder was an act of revenge due...

A shortage of priests in Swedish municipality Karlstad means the local diocese has now turned to importing pastors from abroad. A recruitment project designed to entice priests from foreign countries to the region is now under way. “In the short term, we’ve worked on trying to recruit priests from other countries. Specifically, we’ve focused on Germany,” Charlotte Klingestad, staff strategist at Karlstad diocese, explained to public broadcaster SVT. Around 20 positions are vacant in the diocese, with the problem biggest in the smaller municipalities. […] Though Sweden is generally a secular country, the Swedish Church says it has around six...

I could be writing every week about Sweden. Every day. Every hour. For reasons that will be analyzed by historians for a long, long time – provided the Western world doesn't become so thoroughly Islamized that the possibility of objective historical scrutiny is utterly obliterated – the Swedes have chosen a path of cultural and societal suicide that puts all other countries in the shade. For anyone curious about self-destructive psychopathologies, it is a grimly fascinating phenomenon. Why, of all places, Sweden? How can a Swedish woman raped by an illegal Muslim immigrant be so bursting with racial guilt that...

A stunning – and stunningly disturbing - event took place this past weekend.  But unless you were scouring the news very carefully, chances are you didn't even hear of it.   The annual Bravalla Festival, one of the most popular summer music concerts in Sweden, was abruptly canceled.  There will be no festival next year.  Or ever.  Given that tens of thousands of tickets were sold, the problem was not attendance.  Nor was there any difficulty booking big-name rap and rock stars.  No, this festival was canceled because of something far more ominous – Bravalla has become synonymous with rape...

Rapes are rampant in Sweden, following years of Muslim immigration. An alarmingly high percentage of the victims are children. Rapes in Sweden has been soaring since the country started to take in large numbers of Muslim migrants and refugees. According to statistics, 92 percent of all severe rapes (violent rapes) are committed by migrants and refugees. 100 percent of all attack rapes (where victim and attacker had no previous contact) are committed by that same group. The top-10 list of rapists’ national background shows only one non-Islamic country (Chile). Most rapists have Iraqi background, followed by refugees and migrants from...

New data from Sweden is a dire warning to women against voting for more refugees from Muslim countries. A 10News Update New data from Sweden shows how immigration and refugees from Islamic countries puts especially women in danger. 92 percent of all severe rapes (violent rapes) are committed by migrants and refugees. 100 percent of all attack rapes (where victim and attacker had no previous contact) are committed by that same group. In other words, thousands of Swedish women would not have been raped and thereby traumatized for life, had it not been for the influx from Islamic countries. The...

"I’m adopted from Sri Lanka, he explains the News Today." Despite that, he has been branded as a racist. Or, as it says in a decision of the Armed Forces Staff Disciplinary; he “expresses opinions that are in direct conflict with the Armed Forces’ mission and values.” Last May this year, Erik namely was fired from his job as a part-time soldier after having spent more than half his life in defense. – I had to fight a group of idiots who tried to rape the woman, says Erik. – It was a Christian woman. There is nothing unusual when...

The Swedish National Board of Forensic Medicine (RMV) has released new figures that show a majority of cases of disputed “underage” migrants are actually adults. The RMV released figures this week after medically testing 1,481 migrants to determine whether or not they had lied about being under the age of 18. Of the total number, it was revealed that 1,215, or 86 per cent, of the individuals tested were adults. The testing took place over a three-month period between March and June of this year and involved an MRI of the knee joint and an x-ray of wisdom teeth. The...

Sweden's biggest music festival will be replaced next year by a women-only alternative after reports of a series of rapes and sexual assaults at this year's event.

The organizers of a major Swedish music festival have canceled next year’s event after reports that dozens of women were sexually assaulted at the festival over the weekend. Four rapes and 23 sexual assaults were reported at Bravalla, which bills itself as the country’s largest music festival. One woman said she was forced to have sex with a man after changing her mind, according to AFP. “Words cannot describe how incredibly sad we are about this, and we most seriously regret and condemn this,” according to a statement on the festival’s website. “This is not f–king okay. We do not...

Organizers stepped up their efforts against violence after five rapes and 14 cases of sexual assault were reported in 2016. With three rapes and 22 sexual assaults reported by the festival’s conclusion Saturday night, the festival’s founder said he can no longer allow the festival to go on. “I’ve had enough. Violence kills the festival experience, the love for music and, beyond anything else, it hurts people,” Folkert Koopmans, the founder of Bråvalla...

Photo: Pontus Lundahl/TTFollowing one reported rape and several sexual assaults at this year's Bråvalla music festival, there will be no festival in 2018, the organisers said on Saturday.

Things you don't expect to happen on the golf course. Christer Sjögren had an unusual experience on Karlstad golf course when instead of an eagle or a birdie, he ran into an elk calf. When the young elk started chasing him, he ran, all while his friends laughed at him. His friend Tony Swahn, who shot the video, told The Local it had gone viral in Sweden. "It has really spread," he said. Sweden has seen violent elk attacks in the past, however in this case everything worked out well in the end, after the young animal slowly walked off...

Authorities in Denmark and Sweden are set to look into the viability of a new tunnel between Helsingør in Denmark and Helsingborg in Sweden. The mooted tunnel would bring a fast connection between the two cities, which are currently directly linked by ferry. Dubbed the HH connection, the new road link would be the second to connect the neighbouring Scandinavian countries after the Öresund bridge linking Copenhagen and Malmö, which opened in 2000. Denmark’s Ministry of Transport, Building and Housing will work with Swedish authorities on a strategic analysis of the viability of the project, the Danish ministry announced on...

Swedish Culture and Democracy Minister suggests Swedes who left to fight for ISIS should be welcomed back, helped to integrate into society. Hundreds of Swedish residents who went to fight for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria have now returned to Europe and the Swedish government has given several of them “protected identities” to keep locals from finding out who they are, reported Breitbart. The vast majority of the returning jihadist fighters keep a very low profile upon returning to Sweden as many have committed terrorist offences while in the Middle East. 27-year-old Walad Ali Yousef is one returnee...

A Christian preschool in Sweden has banned children from saying grace at mealtimes, talking about the Bible, or saying “Amen”. The decision to forbid children at the school in Umea to engage in religious practices was reached after a school inspection. The municipality’s supervisors in charge of education noted that the Christian activities violate Sweden’s educational policies, Swedish National Broadcaster STV reported. Sweden’s Education Act prohibits schools from having confessional elements during school time and says children should be able to opt-out of religious practices. Inspectors believed the preschool, run by the Salvation Army, didn’t give children a choice as...

This is a video made by a Swedish woman. She is being straight up honest. She is a very brave and patriotic woman. I wish i knew her name to credit her.

At last we know why Chicago’s homicide level is so out of control: Gangs, not police control the streets. The gangs know it; the police know it; and now, thanks to DNAinfo.com/Chicago, we know it. A week ago, Chicago street gangs held a huge party in a park, with a thousand people attending, some brandishing firearms, terrifying neighbors for hours. The police sent 25 squad cars, yet were outnumbered and unable to really do anything. Stephanie Lulay wrote:
