Sorry, that article is bunk! Here is another note from my friends in Sweden:
"this article doesnt mension muslims to be the problem at all. the article is about a place in the out sides of malmö that has a big problem with crime right now. the plase is called rosengård, but who commites the crime there is all kinds of people, including swedish."
The article isn't even about Malmo!
Having read it in its entirety, it's a small side, and it lives in the shadow of the other. As for Cat Stevens, he's an idiot.
The biggest problem with Islam is that the religion depends too much on the Imams to "interpret" the meaning of the Koran for its followers (though it is quite clear in most cases). If an Imam decides to preach one side or other of the Koran, then that's what the religion is for that group of followers.
In the end, however, the goal of the Koran and all of it's followers is to see the entire world under Islamic rule. And the Koran is quite clear about how to go about achieving that goal. It's called Jihad. War.
Christianity also seeks to convert the world. But the Bible does not advocate war as the method. Nor does any other major religion that I am aware of.
plenty of condemnations of terrorism from mullahs
Thanks!
And in some cities like Antwerpen, Brussles, Rotterdam and Amsterdam the name given to most kids these days is mohammed...

Kmight USA get news that is diluted, omited or distorted even out right libal!
The few in the media seem to rule, and the majority of citizens are do not hold those views of PC.
Hope you can share what your citizens are thinking!
Links to European news sites you mean?
ROTFLMAO! (But Kerry has a plan to handle it...)
I agree that diversity has been our strength, but it has always been a reasoned diversity with immigration supported by law. That is no longer the case. I say the heck with the PC complaints of racial profiling! In the years when we took illegal border crossing seriously (up until the 60's sometime), there were plenty of illegals who stood out like a sore thumb. They were stopped, put in a paddy wagon, returned to the border and deported. They still stick out like a sore thumb and I resent the fact that our government is so stiffled by PC and politics that nothing is done about it! I welcome those who come here legally. My own sister-in-law is from Oaxaca, Mexico. Another one is from South Korea. Some of my closest friends are from Japan. They all contribute good to our society. Diversity, to me, is not a problem until our laws are compromised.
Islam is all about emulating the life of their prophet. This is the most important commandment of Islam. That the faithful Muslim must copy the life of Muhammad
Yes they are hard to find, DrudgeReport http://www.drudgereport.com/ list many but they seem to parrot each other!
Is there some sites that the USA might not beaware of?
These are our internet news to counter act the bias!

Oh, and the murder of abortion doctors and the bombings of abortion clinics aren't part of the "Christofascist" agenda for America?
POINT #1: How many abortion doctors have been killed or injured? A very, VERY, VERY few.
Do you know how many? (The actual number may surprise you.)
No, I cannot justify that it has happened. It is murder.
BUT: I am saying that the media has you thinking that it's commonplace and the casualties have been HIGH.
Fact is, in a nation of 300,000,000, they just haven't been. If even 0.00001% of Christians acted out in this way, there'd be carnage on a weekly basis. But there's not. The far left would like you to THINK this is mainstream Christianity acting out in opposition, and that the casualties have been high, and that this is commonplace, but the reality is...it's not. Christians are peaceful by very definition.
Go strolling through the bad parts of America's largest cities, and before one's raped, robbed, and murdered one will see plenty of storefront churches. In fact, in the city of Detroit alone there are 700 Baptist churches.
POINT #2: You now dare to equate the number of churches in a locale with the crime in that locale?! (You're full of hate, sir!)
Perhaps it did not occur to you to look at the problem DIFFERENTLY: It's a high crime area, and thus it needs the outreach of those churches to stem it.
I think it was G.K. Chesterton who said "It's not that Christianity has been tried and found wanting...it's that it's never been tried." Perhaps those crime-ridden areas should sample it.
You see? It's not the religion - it's the terrorist mindset. Here and there.
POINT THREE: Don't equate Christianity with terrorism. Others on this board have amply refuted that hackneyed claim, Q.E.D., so I shall not waste further time with an
OBVIOUS T R O L L !
Have a good day!
You can thank the liberal welfare state for that.

If you respected the First amendment as much as you claim to respect the Second, you'd be on my side.
I have always thought the same thing. Almost all the gas stations here in this part of So. Cal. are owned or operated by Middle Easterners. I have often thought about what this would mean if they decide to do something. My question for any one who knows, "How are they able to buy all these stations?" Do they have to have proof of citizenship first, etc. I don't care if I get flamed for profiling, do oil companies have responsibility to check people out before allowing them to run a station?
Oh, my!
Yes, I could--just not for a couple of days. I'm away from home on a trip and have limited time and access to the Internet right now.
Charles,
Thanks for your reply but don't bother translating the article. My Swedish friends have gotten back to me.
