Swedish Cultural Symbols Targeted by Attackers
When a volcano is about to erupt, it will give out small warning signs some time in advance. Immediately before the eruption, these signs will be obvious to everybody, but even before that you can get some indication of what's going on, if you know what to look for. That's a bit how I feel like, watching the developments in Sweden. Two weeks ago in Malmö, the Scandinavian city with the highest percentage of Muslim immigrants, attackers vandalized graves in one of the city's churchyards. (see photo) They only seemed to be interested in the crosses. This week, two important buildings and tourist attractions were destroyed by fire. Somebody also tried to set fire to an old church in the area. Is somebody deliberately targeting Swedish national and cultural symbols? Who would want to do that? Anybody we know?Fire destroys Astrid Lindgren attraction
Two of Vimmerby's most popular tourist attractions burned down in the small hours of Friday morning: Emil i Lönneberga's carpenter shed in "Katthult" and Ösjöfors paper factory. Rescue services leader Tommy Lindström said he is concerned that there is a link between the two fires. "I can't see any natural explanation as to why two such famous tourist attractions in one area should catch fire within such a short space of time," he said.
Top tourist attractions burn up
Swedes lost two of their most beloved tourist attractions on last weekend, as a fire razed two historical buildings in the southern Swedish village of Vimmerby. The birth village of Sweden’s most celebrated children’s author, Astrid Lindgren, suffered the loss of both ‘Emil in Lönneberga’s’ carpenter shed in ‘Katthult’ and Sweden’s oldest paper factory at Ösjöfors. The same night, someone tried to set an old church in the area on fire and to damage the Astrid Lindgren museum at Näs. P-O Jansson, police spokesman in Kalmar, said it was not clear in what order the fires were lit. ‘But anyone can assume that there is a link between those fires and that they were set on purpose,’ he told daily newspaper Sydsvenskan. Rescue services were first called to the handmade paper factory, but found the 230-year-old two-storey building consumed by flames and had to watch it burn down. In the middle of the rescue operations, there was an alarm from the Gibberyd estate in Rumskulla, where Lindgren’s popular children’s book Emil in Lönneberga was filmed in the beginning of the 1970s. ‘Part of the rescue team were sent there from Ösjöfors,’ said rescue services leader Tommy Lindström. ‘But we couldn’t save either the carpenter shed or the nearby outbuilding. The main building and the barn were not in danger.’
The numbers showing little opposition to immigration are heavily manipulated, for political reasons. Notice that native Swedes are supposed to be "integrated" into their own country:
Make Swedes mentors for immigrants - minister
A fifth of the Swedish public would consider being a mentor for newly arrived immigrants, according to a report from the Swedish Integration Board. Now, Minister of Equality and Integration Jens Orback says he wants to harness this enthusiasm to boost integration. "For me, this is about a reciprocal mentorship, where native Swedes should also be integrated in the new Sweden, and not just the opposite," wrote Orback on Svenska Dagbladet's debate page, Brännpunkt. In the Swedish Integration Board's report, The Integration Barometer 2004, which was presented on Thursday, it also emerged that more than half of the Swedish population is ready to contribute to helping immigrants establish themselves in society. Just 14% of Swedes say they feel negative about immigration. According to Jens Orback, that is the lowest in Europe, with 50% of Danes and 59% of Finns saying they are opposed to immigration.

Those stats stink. I cannot believe only 14% of Swedes are against immigration.
I wonder what Aussie Joe thinks about the fact that an Australian minister was convicted of hate speech denigrating Islam for READING FROM THE KORAN during a sermon.
Keep your head down and your ass in the air, Dhimmi.
Sweden Threatened with Jihad
Videos show men training with explosives, Sweden threatened with 'suffering in the name of Allah'; former ambassador to Sweden says potential for terror infrastucture exists.
A group using the name of Iraqi jihad group Ansar al-Sunnah has released videos showing what it claims are members training for terror attacks in the Swedish countryside. ...
A large explosion is then seen in a heavily wooded area. While it is not possible to verify the location of the explosion, the scenery does appear to be northern European.
A second video by the group, which is dated August 29, contains images of men with blurred out faces setting off mock suicide explosives and roadside car bomb attacks.
It is only a matter of time.

What lovely people, ofcourse let’s give them refugee sanctuary in the western world. Any thing else is of course racism.
Estoy hasta el gorro de aguantar el racismo islámico en Europa.
Recuerden que los únicos que se lo pusimos difícil fue en Castilla (España, en 1492, que conseguimos echarles, y Osama bin Laden nos ha amenazado por ello ~11 de marzo de 2004~, ya que ha reivindicado reconquistar Al-Andalus, España, para el islam).
Otro toque que España tuvo que dar al islam fue en el Golfo de Lepanto, en donde nuestro genial escritor Miguel de Cervantes, en persona, combatió contra los musulmanes turcos.
Ya va siendo hora de que se tome conciencia en Europa que no existe un islam moderado.
Todo musumal tiene implantado el mandato de conquistar el mundo, por las buenas (dihmmi), o por las malas.
Saludos desde España.
FWIW, I share your worries about the future of Europe and beleive that our unreported (by the MSM) success in Iraq will paradoxically serve to increase the danger in Europe. I blogged on this today, and have quoted from a couple of your posts liberally.
BTW, I agree with jeff who suggested it would be helpful to have an e-mail address on your site.

Well, from the Swedish dictionary

Actually, Sweden has a plan for that as well, you can borrow them at the local library, I kid you not.

What do you mean by a "global civil war?" Are you saying that many countries will have a civil war at the same time?

It was PDP111 who coined the term in another thread, and I immediately adapted it. It's a very accurate description, and
Do the dhimmi-minded Swedish bureaucrats have the cojones to stand up to this kind of violence against the Christian religion (something they all likely swore off long ago)?
"Unfortunately the left usually gets it wrong."
Naah, Really?
Herr Unswedenizer:
I am still unsure of what the term "global civil war" means. Since "civil war" means war between groups of citizens of the same country, are you saying that civil war will break out in many countries at the same time, ostensibly between Muslims and non-Muslims in each country (a feasible consequence of catastrophic actions by Islamists in conjunction with non-PC awareness of the dangers of Islam by non-Muslim populations)?
