I just hope she's a card carrying democrat. Maybe this little episode will open her eyes a tad.
If she is this would just be an example of 'Bush's foreign policy failures'. Reality is a hard pill to swallow for most dems IMO.

He probably would have had no issue with her speaking Arabic.

I don't get it. Really. It's gone completely over my head and I won't be normal until it's resolved.

According to Mark Steyn (and others), old Europe is dying. I'm wondering whether this is a bad thing.

According to Johansson, the doctor was a Palestinian who objected to American foreign policy in the Middle East. Why am I not surprised????? The Swedes have let these people in and will have to deal with them. Wonder if they're having rape problems as Norway reported a couple of weeks ago.

AArrghhhh!!!! I am presuming that the doctor in the story is Moslem. I realize that there are a fair number of Palestinians who are Christian, too. Having said that...
The story is presented as if this is a Swedish problem with Americans. Once I started reading it, though, this is an Arab problem. Perhaps it is also an Islamic problem.
I hate the way the media downplays or ignores the obvious bigotry and xenophobia of the Arab and/or Islamic world. If an American doctor did this to a Palestinian, the headlines would scream about the "hatred" against the Palestinian who obviously could have died and was sick with a near-fatal disease. This situation? The American is "turned away."
Thanks for the rant this morning.

Why would you say that?
What you are seeing in this story is what is taking Europe's place.
Hardly an improvement - by anyones standards...
Cheers.

Swedes don't have a problem with Americans.
Islamofascists do.

No, sir, they are not. Aintcha heard? The country is chockful of immigrants - of the non-American variety.
To: Eurotwit
I'm being sarcastic, but clearly, the fact that old Europe is being overrun by Muslims, and may go into eclipse because of it, is due to the likelihood that Europe is culturally and spiritually exhausted. There is no will left in Europe, apparently, and no sense that Europe stands for anything worth defending.

Everyone that is American for miles around that office should make appointments, go and be refused, just to take up time and space....and his money.
