Gothenburg, Sweden (AINA) -- An Assyrian politican, Issa Issa, who is a member of the Sweden Democrats party, was attacked on Thursday by a gang of 40 men. According to the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, stones were hurled into Mr. Issa's apartment after 10 PM on Thursday, through the windows in the kitchen, bedroom and living room, shattering them all. Mr. Issa saw two boys outside, who shouted "f****** Christian, f****** Sweden Democrat, come down," when they saw him. Mr. Issa chased them around the corner, where a gang of 40 men was waiting for him.

"It was a trap," said Mr. Issa, "I tried to go back and called the police while I ran."

Someone in the gang fired a gun but it missed Mr. Issa.

"I received a blow to the eye. One took out a knife and held it against my neck. Then he stabbed me in the shoulder. Now I'm paralyzed in the right hand. They said they would kill me."

He was also stabbed in back, hand and leg. A bottle was smashed against his head and he was kicked and beaten.

According to Aftonbladet the attackers were young, 15-20 years old. Witnesses report the attackers appeared to be Muslims.

Mikael Jansson, Sweden Democrats president in Gothenburg, said "We fear that this attack is politically motivated. Issa had previously, on election day, been the victim of a threat when he was at a polling station and handing out ballots. We are experiencing hate for Sweden Democrats, and that other politicians do not take a stand against this."

The Sweden Democrats party has been characterized as being against immigrants and against immigration, though there are many immigrants in its ranks.

Mr. Issa announced that he would leave the Sweden Democrats party and end his political career.

Assyrians are Christians - a persecuted minority in their own land which is now mainly MUSLIM IRAQ - you know, the people we “saved”.

And the Muslims win another one as Mr. Issa announced he will end his political career. Muslims understand one thing - force. They must be driven back or the West will fall one accommodation or retreat at a time.

The Sweden democrats think the attack was politically motivated. I would bet money that there was more then just politics behind the attack. Moslums are motivated by their hate for other religions. Hate is behind most of their attacks.

It’ll be interesting when the mozlims get to the point where they think they can pull this off over here. I give it once, or a couple times. Americans don’t take no sh!t. I’m getting so sick of these people! 100s of millions Americans pack a rebuttal to this crap.

Obviously the Swedes no longer control their own country. Best they return it to the Sa’ami and go back where they came from. Plenty of good reindeer range still in fine condition if they can just get it cleared.

While I agree with your sentiments, I question your conclusion. After 9/11 I would have agreed with you completely. Then the US elected a moslem president. I rest my case.

“Hate is behind most of their attacks.”

Hate is the matrix of their entire culture.

My observation is that once you’ve emptied 2 magazines of any ammo into a crowd of 40, any left standing are usually pretty far away......

And the Florida pator who threatened to burn the Koran loses his web hoisting and insurance. The New Jersey transit worker who burned a Koran on private time and out of uniform is fired. Christians handing out bibles in Dearbornistan are arrested. And Supreme Court Justice Breyer stated that burning the Koran is not covered under free speech.
We do take it.

God Bless the Assyrian people, the original inhabitants of the lands where now they are persecuted.

They have been massacred time and time again by Muslims...the latest assaults occurred when the US went into Iraq without a sense or even interest in history whatsoever and the results have been devastating. Shias and Sunnis - those evil zombie twins - indiscriminately attacking and beheading yet more Assyrian Christians everywhere.

Here is a wonderful book called “The Crimson Field” by Rosie Yunan that tells a bit of that survival:

Thanks rmlew.

Geez, how old *was* this guy anyway?

[/joke alert]

The main character in the (non-fiction) book “Not Even My Name” was a Pontic Greek child among two million or so force-marched out of Turkey; she wound up married to an Assyrian I think, which is still an ethnic group today, pretty interesting.

I disagree — they shouldn’t be driven back, they should be forced to either repudiate Islam, or die where then cower. It is them or us — but us I mean, the 5 or 6 billion non-Moslems.
