| Hundreds hold rival rallies over mosque in Sweden |
| 2011-05-22 |
| [Dawn] Hundreds of proponents and opponents held rallies in Sweden's second-largest city Goteborg on Saturday to voice their opinions over the building of a mosque there. Heavy police presence kept the two groups appart and a front man for the force said only one person had been incarcerated for violent behavior toward an officer. It was the biggest police effort in the city since the EU Summit in 2001, when several thousand people gathered to protest against US President George W. Bush, the EU and globalization. Mosque opponents claim the construction will ruin a nearby park and that the area is not suitable, while supporters say the opposition is racist. The mosque, which will be the city's second, is due to be completed in mid-June. |

| #1 OK, I'll bite after half a year here. 1/. One picture of New Age .vikings, no pics of their opposiotion 2/. Race card used, however, (the ubiquitous however), mosques are (allegedly) not racial places, so the Race card doesn't work in this instance. Besides which, Islam is not a Race so suck that. Whose side these sloppy hacks on? Some digging to be done. |
