Would it be a safe bet that these "Swedish" men do not have blonde hair and blue eyes?

It's hard to believe they could flat out deny being a target considering what went down.

No takers on that bet. ;-)

On a more serious note, everything regarding the arrested and their case is treated with utmost secrecy. The defence lawyers are only allowed to say that their clients are saying that they are innocent. Everything else is basically rumours.

The way things are going...there will come a day in the not too distant future for some kind of new Crusade to rid the world of Muslim extremists. Looks like Israel is on to something.

The serious error of liberals:

They will look at that face and ask themselves, "Is that the face of a man who really wants to kill people?"

The liberals will then answer, "No."

The liberals will then demand that everybody else see it their way.

The liberals will also demand that everybody else pay for trying to establish redemption in the blink an eye, within the realm that they delude themselves into believing exits:

Room for negotiations.

Somehow, they "reason," they can reach out to that face, and then reach out to that mind, and then reach back into that man's past and "reparate" him.

Surely, he will then see that they "feel" his pain.

Therefore, the liberals "reason," he will not shoot.

All that is supposed to happen in the blink of an eye, before that man kills.

Because liberals do not want the responsibility for any other outcome, and next, because they do not want to feel guilty when they are proven wrong, they pre-emptively strike, insist, that, after the fact of somebody else having to intervene, killing that man and thereby saving the liberals' lives ... even then ... the liberals demand that it was not necessary.

After all, they will draw up some manifesto that lists the many reasons for that man's "anger" and "hate" --- none of which troubles, can a person solve enough in the blink of an eye, to cause him to not shoot.

The liberals insist, there was time; yet they cannot prove it.

Yet they will insist.

There is ALWAYS time, because without time, they have to act.

The problem is, that liberals have trouble living with themselves, because they will not act decisively to take individual responsibility --- that is why they have built up, living with themselves, into such a national science foundation upon which to coerce everybody else to join them, Oprah nodding heads and all.

That is why liberals cost so much and cause so much of the world's problems.

They do not want responsibility.

As with most of what happens on the planet, when an individual does not take personal responsibility, there is a much larger cost to everybody else, who then, by the circumstances, must do something at the expense of their responsibilities.

Failure to take personal responsibility costs.

Liberals, could care less.

So, in their stead, the weight of responsibility falls on people who know about responsibility and will dare to stand up for liberty and act in all our defense, despite their being spit upon by the liberals who are then shamed and will use any excuse to 'legitimize' their weakness, usually in the form of blaming everybody else, including, on some occasions, the Allied soldier, sailor, or airman who has to shoot that man in the photo.

Want to know what the crime is?

The crime is, that such a young man or woman in uniform, must pull the trigger to shoot that man in the photo, and he or she must also bear the burden under penalties imposed by liberalism, in our schools, in our [unfortunately and grossly] liberal media, in restaurants ... everywhere they go ... constantly with Susan Sarandon and Mr. Susan Sarandon being feted by the class of people who want to be wanted and will do anything, kiss any butt, be in any butt, to have face among socialists, and rank in their politically correct thought police forces.

The crime is, that "the left" demands that no public recognition, no once-well-learned history of World War II, about fans of un-limited government, shall be part of the dialog, because that would cause a person to face the reality of the parties that lust for power and have historically killed lots of people to get such power, and then historically killed many, many more to keep that power, and then historically killed many, many, many more people when truth and justice came knocking.

Truth and justice --- what the parties who lust for power, most fear and will not lay down their Arms --- against them, against the bad man, we do not come with peace in mind except for their unconditional surrender.

What's the thing that the bad guys do most, when we do not come in peace?

They try to hide everything that have been doing wrong.

Bad as they are, they know, they are wrong and that they have done wrong and that they have misled people to do wrong.

There is always the chance that the man in the photo does not know that he is being misled.

Some of our kids, who will be mindful and thoughtful of that, will have to carry that, because again, the liberals will not accept responsibility and are even above, in their view, accepting responsibility.

I hasten to add, that once upon a time, I knew a mom and two daughters who were liberals, and they actually did put their money on the line; they worked weekends in soup kitchens; they and maybe another mom and one daughter, are the only real, by definition, liberals whom I've ever met; God Bless 'em.

The remainder are all socialist politicians --- dehumanists --- who want what they want when they want it --- power --- at cost to everybody else.

Yes, I read the articles, and checked with some old friends still living in Malmö. The situation is just as described.

The background is the economic decline that hit Malmö during the late 70s. The ship yard an some other heavy industries went belly up causing a huge unemployment. The city council responded by increasing the local tax, which caused a lot of the productive citizens to move from Malmö to the surrounding small towns, further stunting the economy.

At the same time there was a large immigration to Malmö. The city had over-invested in high rise buildings and land. To recover some money they needed tenants. Immigrants were thus settled in these area (rosengård) of Malmö, partly paid for by state grants (isn't socialism wonderful?). So, a home made Harlem was created.

During the last 10 years Malmö has slowly been recovering, but the situation in Rosengård has not improved. Single parent families, truancy and dropouts, a lot of people who don't speak Swedish, all this leading to very high unemployment rate (and what is worse a very high unemployability rate).

The area is now ravaged by a number of youth gangs. Basically these are not politically motivated. But, as you know, this is a type of situation which will serve as very good breeding ground for extremism and organized crime.

Strangely enough, this morning there was a report on the radio news, about the Malmö police trying to root out these gangs.

Unfortunately, I think what is needed is a Guilani policy, and that will not happen there. My predictions for the future of Malmö is bleak.

However, larger miracles have happened and with the right political will I think the problem is still manageable, but not for very much longer.

Reported in Expressen Wednesday 21st April:

Four men arrested:

1) A 35 year old man - a stateless Lebanese, but since 1995 a Swedish citizen. Between 1998 and 2001 owned and ran a pizzeria in north Sweden (Jämtland). The man is married to a Swedish woman. The last years his official domicile has been in north Stockholm. He has prior convictions for illegal possesion of fire weapons, according to TV4.

According to statement in the article the man’s father in law has a high position in the Swedish police.

2) A 25 year old man who arrived from Iraq some three years ago. Since 2 and a half year he lives in a suburb south of Stockholm. The man was previously co-owner of a cleaning firm.

3) A 28 year old man who came from Iraq to Norway. One and a half years ago he moved to a suburb west of Stockholm. During the period in Sweden he has lived together with a 25 year old girl.

4) A 29 yearold man. US citizen, but born in Jerusalem, Israel [Yes, that’s what it says. Very non-PC - occupied area according to our media and politicians.] Received residence permit in Sweden 1991. According to sources he has lived in Malmö the last years.

In the main article an unnamned “well connected” British source is quoted to say that the 35 year old man was in a treining camp in Afghanistan during the 90s. The man’s brother claims that his brother is not even a practicing Muslim, and he must be innocent.

The Swedish Minister of Justice, Thomas Bodström, claims not to be surprised that Sweden is involved in terrorist activities. “It is important to understand that there are no borders for terrorists”, he says.

In short very little information. The police and prosecutors keep the cards close to their chests (as they should). The information (if it is true) about the 35 year old man’s father in law is interesting.
