| Swedes Reach Muslim Breaking Point |
| 2004-11-29 |
| Swedish authorities in the southern city of Malmo have been busy with a sudden influx of Muslim immigrants — 90 percent of whom are unemployed and many who are angry and taking it out on the country that took them in. "If we park our car it will be damaged — so we have to go very often in two vehicles, one just to protect the other vehicle," said Rolf Landgren, a Malmo police officer. Fear of violence has changed the way police, firemen and emergency workers do their jobs. There are some neighborhoods Swedish ambulance drivers will not go to without a police escort. Angry crowds have threatened them, telling them which patient to take and which ones to leave behind. Because Sweden has some of the most liberal asylum laws in Europe, one quarter of Malmo's 250,000 population is now Muslim, changing the face and the idea of what it means to be Swedish. Asylum seekers may bring spouses, brothers and grandparents with them. Civil servants say the city is swamped. "You have 1,000 students in a Swedish school. How many are Swedes? Two," said Lars Birgersson, principal of the Rosengrad School. Students arrive at age 10 or 12 from countries like Iraq, Iran and Lebanon with no knowledge of Swedish; some have never been to school at all and many classes require interpreters. Still, more than half won't graduate. "They are not a part of Swedish society, so to speak. It is difficult for them to get inside society," said Torsten Elofsson of the Malmo Police Department. However, they are the most rapidly growing segment of Swedish society — outsiders who are already inside, posing a challenge to legendary Swedish tolerance that has now been stretched to the breaking point. Malmo's main mosque was recently set ablaze by arsonists. When firefighters arrived on the scene, they were attacked by stone throwers. |

| #8 By 2007 there will be more jihadists in Malmö --let alone Sweden-- than Swedish soldiers in the whole country. The tipping point may already have passed, and the educational system has been converted to multi-culturalist socialist propaganda for decades, so young Swedes won't know what to think or do when jihad hits them. |

| #7 Well here you have an example of an insidious aspect of jihad: infiltrate and set up an alternative society within a Western country / deconstruct that society as much as possible through increased Moslem population growth and cultural separatism / instead of working hard to make a new life, gripe and bitch for government handouts and increased "rights" / upgrade civil disobedience to riot level / resist all applications of the rule of law. When will the Western world realize that these trouble-maker Moslems DO NOT have values similar to ours? Do I need to mention the "C" word? The Christian heritage, whether adhered to now or not, provided the philosophical/moral basis for the foundations of freedom we enjoy in this country, and the foundations of Western society in general. The brand of Islam these people adhere to is just about the polar opposite in terms of morals and values. (And ever notice how they try to play on our inherent value/honor system to get to avoid criticism?) It's a pity too, because these low-lifes give the others, who aren't a problem, a bad name. "Because Sweden has some of the most liberal asylum laws in Europe, one quarter of Malmo's 250,000 population is now Muslim, changing the face and the idea of what it means to be Swedish." Best mind our own backyard, methinks. |

| #6 My, my, my. I do believe their "enlightened multiculturalism" has come back to bite them in the ass. Hard. As anyone with even an iota of common sense would have seen coming. |

| #4 The Swedes don't do medieval, but something tells me they're about to find out that those that don't do medieval may have medieval done unto them. |

| #1 There comes a point when tolerance becomes a terminal condition. I think the Swedes have reached it. |
