#1 Only one paragraph's needed to describethe article:

People's opinions were strongly linked to their political preferences. Left and Green party voters were more likely to choose the US, with 68 percent of Left and 57 percent of Green Party voters believing that America was most dangerous. Only 20 percent of Moderate or Christian Democrat voters shared that view.

#2 Islamic domination is the religion of peace (don't call me racist!).
The USA is a threat to Islamic domination (they staged 9/11 and randomly attacked Afghanistan then Iraq!).
Hence the USA is a threat to peace (they've always been!).

Easy.

Americans are imperialist exploiters, and (Soviet) Russians are our friends. That I learnt while watching the State TV news in Sweden in the late 80s. Also, obviously Germany will become a thoroughly socialist state after the reunification, once they all understand how good things were in East Germany. (I'm not making this up.)

#3 From personal experience, I've learned that stupidity should be painful - seems to be required to make the lesson sink in. When I see some of the socialist tripe that comes out of Sweden, I can't help but think of Hensen's Swedish Chef character... and how brilliant he is relative to the political reality. They need to ruin their economy with Kyoto or something, something that will bring great pain. Sheeshomazing.

#4 The eurolemming is an endangered species. Chiefly because it lacks one instinctive drive that will insure it's future---- that of self-preservation. It's only a matter of time. Get used to Swedenistan.

#5 I'm trying to wrap my mind around Muzzies in parkas... I mean after seeing the short-thobed, sandal-clad, henna-stained woolleybuggers hanging in the heat of the Giant Litterbox, well... Got some major CogDis in play, lol.

#6 I agree with Kalle (kafir forever).

US is "Greatest Threat to Peace" if you define peace the way Muslims do, meaning Submission to Islam.

#7 Oh, no, the US is a threat to peace the way so many Swedes define it, too, meaning the disturber of the status quo, the reason they can't spend all their time quietly going from morning coffee to midday picking berries for the coffee cake eaten with the afternoon coffee sitting in the sun before preparing a light supper. And for those who have a job, working very hard so that the government can take most of the income to support the rest.

Thanks for the background, Kalle. .com, disturbingly memorable image, but I had the impression the Muslims of Scandanavia mostly come from Pakistan?

#9 Ummm yeah. I think our Swedish friends have a threat a little closer to home.
