Sweden: Four out of ten Muslim groups threatened
Tensions are increasing in Sweden, too, as I have predicted before. A major mosque in Malmö, the worst Muslim ghetto in northern Europe, has suffered several arson attacks recently. When will we see open riots in Sweden, just as we do in France now?Four out of ten Muslim groups threatened
Four out of ten Muslim organisations in Sweden have been threatened, according to an investigation by Swedish Radio's Ekot programme. Three out of ten have been attacked, vandalised and damaged. Ekot interviewed 100 organisations which together represent 80,000 Muslims in Sweden. The abuse ranged from graffiti to attacks with fire bombs. Bejzat Becirov, who runs the Islamic Centre in Malmö, said that the mosque there receives threatening mail "almost every day". One example was a newspaper cutting showing vicitims of the recent earthquake in Pakistan. On it, someone had written "dead Muslims cannot come to Sweden". According to the responses from the 100 organisations, Muslim women who wear veils are particularly likely to be harassed and discriminated against.
Malmö mosque "faces ruin"
An Islamic centre in Malmö says it is threatened with financial ruin after arson attacks earlier this year and in 2003. Now the centre’s insurance company has said it can no longer provide cover because of the risk of further attacks. Bejzat Becirov, the Chief Executive of the centre, has asked Prime Minister Göran Persson to help the mosque. Göran Persson visited the mosque during party rallying earlier this month and gave “half a promise” of financial support. He said the repeated attacks on the mosque show that Sweden “sadly has become a country with European norms”.
Muslims face most racism in Sweden
Muslims are exposed to the most racial harassment in Sweden, according to a new report from the Board of Integration. Seven out of ten reports of ethnic discrimination came from people with a Muslim background, and almost 40% of those questioned in the survey said they had witnessed verbal abuse directed at Muslims. "If you look at the whole period from 1999 to 2004 there has been a significant increase in the number of people who want to close Sweden's borders to immigration, from 35% to 45.5%," said the report's author, José Alberto Diaz.

How are we to understand this?
Have (at least some of) the aboriginals in Sweden decided to fight and survive even tho' the government makes it a crime?
Göran Persson visited the mosque during party rallying earlier this month and gave “half a promise” of financial support. He said the repeated attacks on the mosque show that Sweden “sadly has become a country with European norms”.
Financial support for mosques would set a precedent for financial support for any religious (Christian/Jewish et al)desecration surely?
I can't understand the remark that Sweden has 'sadly become a country with European norms.' Sweden is a European country - isn't it? Is this fellow Persson suffering an identity crisis or something?
I would love to see the statistics for attacks on synagogues and churches.
Any numbers they wish to throw around are irrelevant unless they can be compared with similar crimes against other faiths.
As for the women being harrassed, Blind Freddie can see that coming. After all, the headdress is more a political statement rather than a symbol of modesty.
You can be modest without hiding behind a veil.
Shame on those big, tough muslim men, allowing their women to become targets. If they were so superior, and had the regard for women and their position that supposedly they had, then they would lighten up on hijab and burkha precisely to make things easier for them.
So much for coming to a new country to provide a better life for themselves and their families.
A invited guest of foreign origin once again preached genocide against the local inhabitants on Swedish soil.
