I expect the Muslims flooding Sweden will soon reach sufficient number to establish Sharia there (15 years max). I can think of few folks who more deserve to live under the tender mercies of the mullahs and muftis than the atheist, socialist, leftist, Kool-Aid swilling degenerates who actually voted in a government like this. Prayers for the tiny remnant of believers there.

Awesome article, thank you for posting. My sis-in-law told me only 10% of Europe is Christian.

I have heard that Waco was a test to see how America would react to the governments behavior. I noticed at the memorial service Clinton wasn't shy in talking about taking away liberties to ensure our 'safety'. At a memorial service!

"In Sweden, biblical preaching is now a crime."
Listen to Sen. Biden at the DNC. I think he is talking about people like me and others that love the Scripture.
Transcript:
Our friends on the other side love to quote the Bible.
Just as Joshua's trumpets brought down the walls of Jericho, just as American values brought down the Berlin Wall,
So will radical Fundamentalists fall to the terrible swift power of our ideas as well as our swords.
Check out Kerry's "reporting for doodie" acceptance speech. Same thing, only different:

Those who reject biblical truth are now set on silencing Christian pulpits--all in the name of tolerance, acceptance, and diversity. Note that the unbelievers are becoming more consistent in their blasphemy against God. Hopefully Christians are becoming more consistent in their holiness.
The real problem is not jailed Christians - we should be glad to suffer for the faith. The real problem is what God will do to the nation that considers it a crime to preach the Truth, and persecutes His people.

What Sweeden, which has an official state church, does, is their own affair. It certainly is not catastrophic. If Germany had only had a state church then it would have been ok.
Or is discrimination of religious beliefs ok as long as it isn't yours.

> the Branch Davidians weren't Christians
>David Koresh, was anti-Christian, a narcissistic false messiah
I don't disagree,
but one of the foundations
of Protestant thought --
and certainly of
US Protestant thought -- is
or at least has been
that people themselves
decide what they are and choose
how they will worship.
(Many people think
Mormons are nuts as Koresh --
Should we burn Utah?)
Waco was the first
modern instance of the state
just deciding that
since Koresh was nuts
he wasn't really Christian
so they could torch him . . .
It's a precedent.
If a person believes in
creation science
some people would say
they're nuts. If that gives the state
license to run wild,
then soon enough, watch,
just believing Christ was real
will get you called nuts . . .

Man is evolving into a higher level of whatever, right? We're talking evolution now? I can't really say what humans are evolving into. And "higher level" isn't really an accurate term.

One has to wonder if the moral of economic collapse will come first. They are both related. Rest assured, either Sweden will reverse itself or they will suffer consequences for this persecution. God will not be mocked.

Thanks for this article. The world is trying to rebuild its own Tower of Babel - a way for man to be God.

<< The recent expansion of [So-called] "hate crimes" "laws" in Canada .... is convincing proof that these trends are not limited to Europe. >>
Not so, actually.
It is proof, rather, that not all of the dead-and-decadent Euro-peon "mind" set live in Europe.
The majority of Canadians, in their shared envy-motivated hesperophobic hatred of America, are far more closely united with Eueo-peons than with US. Are more like expatriot europeons than North Americans.

I was being sarcastic. I keep hearing that man is evolving from the liberal know-it-alls and this sounded like something 'they' would consider as man evolving.

It's a stupid action, but not particularly surprising, the Swedish "religious tolerance canary" was already dead.
