Is Swedish Democracy Collapsing?

Wednesday, May 04, 2005 Is Swedish Democracy Collapsing? A top Muslim scholar said the Muslim minority in Sweden would abide by Swedish law in confronting a Christian preacher who insulted Prophet Muhammad, urging his fellow Swedish Muslims not to take the law into their own hands or commit any violent acts to avenge the remarks of the Christian cleric. Norwegian celebrity evangelist preacher Runar Søgaard, in a sermon at Filadelfia church in Stockholm on March 20, repeated claims that Muhammad was "a confused pedophile" since his wives included a girl aged nine years old. Søgaard is under protection by Swedish police after receiving death threats. The sermon has triggered fears of a religious war in Sweden. It is essential according to Islamic teachings to respond to those who defame Muhammad. Muslim extremists in Sweden have urged Al-Qaida's al-Zarqawi to take action in the matter, and radicals of the Salafyist variety have posted a very explicit threat to launch a wave of terrorist attacks against Sweden because of the "insult". The threats were posted on a number of known Islamist forums and were accompanied by rather lurid graphics.

This is what happens when you let the Islamo-whackos run wild in your country.

For some reason, I would not be surprised to find the Swedish Left pulling for the Islamofascists...

I've only been here a very short time but any mention of Muslims to locals or people who've been here for a few years elicits feelings of downright hatred.

I had someone tell me that the Muslims all stick together because its dangerous for them not to. There was no elaboration on why.

I think the Van Gogh killing next door in Finland has made the natives rethink their immigration policies. It'll be interesting to watch what happens over here.

These people seem to be very easy going and tolerant but if you bring your intolerance to their shores, its a whole different story.

If you're talking about Theo Van Gogh, that was in The Netherlands :confused:.
