Anti-immigration sentiment grows in Sweden
YahooNews (AP) ^ | Sept. 20, 2010 | Karl Ritter

STOCKHOLM – A far-right group's election breakthrough has shattered Sweden's reputation as a bastion of tolerance after years of being seemingly inoculated against the backlash on immigration seen elsewhere in Europe.

Sunday's election showed that the country's welcome to refugees is not universally accepted: Nearly 6 percent of the population voted for a nationalist group that accuses immigrants — especially Muslims — of eroding Sweden's national identity and its cherished welfare state. It's a bitter pill for a nation that frowned upon Denmark's vitriol toward Muslim immigrants, Swiss attempts to ban minarets and France's crackdown on Gypsy camps.

A good step forward for Sweden would be to allow parents to go back to disciplining their children without fear of legal repercussions.

They are probably Centrists, relatively speaking.

I'd bet.

When the MSM says "far right", I have to tell you that Red Flags go up.

Muslims looking to destroy another country. They are the scourge of the earth.

I guess even the Swedes are getting tired of seeing their young women getting raped by Muslims because they are not properly attired.

Like most western countries, Sweden was very foolish to have the immigration policy they have had for the past 3 or 4 decades. It's really bad when you have a welfare state like Sweden does. Talk about moral hazards.

I just hope there's enough testosterone left in the country to fix their problems.

As almost any Sa'ami could tell you (if they still remembered who they were, since most of them live in America and not Europe) if you let these illegal aliens come in and take over your country the next thing you know they'll ship you out to the wilderness thousands of miles away.

Worse than having your country stolen from you is when the newcomers give it all up to people even worse than themselves.

Swedes have no sense of self-worthiness.

Well America has 6 TV networks and they all support O, Islam and have Saudi investors, joint ventures or multibillion business deals with Islamic countries. They all support the 911 Victory Mosques. Dhimini’s who watch TV in the US support sharia.

At least the Swedes are doing something.

The smart countries figure out Islam has to be isolated, like smallpox, or people start dying.

Malmostan is a perfect example of the multiculti garbage that results from letting the muslims in one’s country.

I can’t remember where I heard it, or if it is just an cynical statement, but it was said “...that things with the muslims are so bad in Scandanavia that parents trust their children are safer around Hells Angels than muslims...”

I believe this originated from the events in Copenhagen, awhile back, where the Hells Angels were kicking a** and engraving tombstones relating to muslims. The media made it sound like a gang war because they didn’t want to offend the muslims, plus Denamrk in the late ‘90’s had a turf war between the Hells Angels and Bandidos.

In Norway 100% of violent rapes committed against Norweign women are done by muslims.

It may be too late for Sweden et al or in my opinion they don’t have the B**ls to do what they have to, i.e. deport all the muslims back to where they came from.

America needs to wake up. We need a Geert Wilders now, not when it is too late.

The Internationalists have screwed the heck out of European Nations with the import of so many Muslims and then with their politically correct demand that the natives bow down and stick their butts in the air to accomodate allah. What a nightmare.

Europe burned six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims.

True. It is so bad that the citizens cannot walk the streets of their own cities without potentially being attacked. Amsterdam, Malmo, Hamburg, Berlin, Paris, Koln, Brussells, Madrid, Barcelona all are being overrun by muslim rodents.

America needs to wake up. Look at Dearbornstan in Michigan or Little Somalia in MSP. In 20 to 30 years there could be hundreds of Dearbornstans and Little Somalias here if we don’t stop them now.

Kudos for Sweden!

By the way, the other night I watched the movie “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” It’s in Swedish, with English subtitles. So everyone in the movie sounds like the chef from the Muppet Show — “Börk, börk, börk!”

But if you can get past that without peeing your pants (turn down the volume), it’s really an engrossing film. Highly recommended!

When I was in Maine on vacation on the coast once, I ran into the town’s Somali immigrants. I had men look at me like they absolutely hated my guts. I kept my gun close and ready on that trip.

The Christians in that Maine town began bringing persecuted Somali Christians over and they were followed by Muslims. The Muslims preceeded to chop up the Christians who escaped. The big difference is the rule of law and concealed carry in the US and the Muslims got acquainted with difference that up close and fast.
