Sweden Democrat leader Jimmie Åkesson kept to familiar themes in his summer speech on Saturday, focusing on Islam, immigration and crime.
Swedish party leaders traditionally hold summer speeches on their home turf during the holiday season and Saturday was the turn of the Sweden Democrats' Jimmie Åkesson.
A crowd of a few hundred people had gathered in Åkesson's home town of Sölvesborg in Sweden's far south to hear the 35-year-old launch the party's push towards the general election in September.
Following a sweeping review of the current global conflict zones, Åkesson shifted focus to Islam.
"Islamism is the Nazism and Communism of our time," he said, prompting the most generous applause of the afternoon.
Furthermore Åkesson said that he demanded that all aid to organizations and associations related to "Islamism" should be stopped, and directed his ire to the handful of Swedish citizens reported to be fighting in Iraq and Syria.
"You guys can stay there. Sweden is no longer your home, this country built on Christian principles."
Åkesson made an attempt to broaden the party's support and stretch out to female voters, but made it clear that he most definitely is not a feminist - prompting a renewed bout of cheering from the crowd.
"I'm not a feminist! I am a Sweden Democrat, social conservative and nationalist. But I believe in equality," he said.
According to political scientist Anders Sundell, Jimmie Åkesson spent 21 minutes, 51 percent of his speech, describing the problems faced by the world and society and 3 minutes, seven percent laying out his visions. Åkesson did however reserve a little over 2 minutes for concrete proposals.
These measures focused on burglary, which the party claims is a growing problem in Sweden and women's safety.
In March Åkesson announced that the Sweden Democrats would talk less about immigration in the hope that the other parliamentary parties will consider working with them.
Despite recent opinion polls showing that the party can expect between 8 and 11 percent of the votes in the election, strong blocs on both the left and right of Swedish politics look like keeping any influence the party may have to a minimum.
The party which claimed its first seats in the European Parliament in May remains hopeful however and Åkesson urged voters to turn out in numbers.
"A vote for us is never wasted, t sends a clear signal to the other parties that they want change, for example regarding immigration policy," he said.
This needs to be spread far and wide. Where is the MSM ???
Oh....right.
Hardly surprising, The Sweden Democrats are the fastest growing party of the nation.
What is frightening is that the Nazis were much more civilized than the Muslims.
Think about that.
War with Islam...not if...but when.
It is true and it will be unpopular to say it
Ok great start. Good acknowledgment.
Let me know when they start deporting them.
- Yes, and in both America and over here in Europe, it would be considered a hate crime to draw parallels between Islamism and the Nazis although these movements have just as much in common as the Partito Nazionale Fascista (the Italian Fascist Party) and the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (the German Nazi Party).
You mean their motto is really "kill all the Christians and Jews?? "
You mean their goal is world domination?
Who would have thunk....
“You mean it’s not a religion?
You mean their motto is really “kill all the Christians and Jews?? “

- While Marxism is a dogmatic religion disguised as a political movement, Islam is a Fascist political ideology masquerading as a religion.
It is really amazing HOW LONG the Swedes have put up with this slow-motion invasion.
I really pray they keep waking up.
...burglary, which the party claims is a growing problem in Sweden and women’s safety.
****
Most likely because of the islamonazi immigrants.
What is frightening is that the Nazis were much more civilized than the Muslims.

Good point. I had not thought about it in that way.
Listen to (Dutch) Geert Wilders, a true spokesman for the silent majority of us ordinary Europeans:

Stand up for freedom and civilization!
Stand up against Islam!
God bless America and all Americans who are on our side!!
Are we Europeans intolerant and xenophobic for not welcoming another Fascist movement on our soil?
&&&
Most definitely not. Expel the islamonazis.
In Sweden the “Democrats” aren’t the bad guys, go figure. (I’m not sure how fiscally conservative they are though they say they are for “social and economic justice” but they aren’t leftist nazi scum like the BNP in the UK and the Le Pennites in France, they expelled those types from the party) The leading Center-right party is called the Moderate Party.
