Eurabia, and some resistance to it. From Sweden's The Local, with thanks to Paul:
Sweden's largest Muslim organisation has demanded that Sweden introduce separate laws for Muslims, according to Swedish television. Sweden's equality minister Jens Orback called the proposals "completely unacceptable".The Swedish Muslim Association, which represents around 70,000 Muslims in Sweden, has sent a letter to all Sweden's main political parties suggesting a number of reforms, SVT's Rapport programme reported.
The proposals include allowing imams into state (public) schools to give Muslim children separate lessons in Islam and their parents' native languages. The letter also said that boys and girls should have separate swimming lessons and that divorces between Muslims should be approved by an imam.
The letter provoked an instant, and damning, response from integration and equality minister Jens Orback.
"We will not have separate laws in Sweden. In Sweden, we are all equal before the law. In Sweden, we have fought for a long time to achieve gender-neutral laws, and to propose that certain groups should not be treated like others is completely unacceptable."...
Liberal Party leader Lars Leijonborg also slammed the idea of separate laws.
"Sweden has equality between men and women. To introduce exceptions for Muslims so that women can be oppressed with the support of the law is completely unacceptable to me," Liberal leader Lars Leijonborg wrote in a statement.
Looks like some good old fashioned Islamic death threats should clear up any resistance from the infidel Swedes. Death to Sweden.

Sweden has national elections this fall. Now, one of the largest Muslim organizations in the country, representing 70.000 Muslims, has sent a public letter to all the political parties DEMANDING separate laws for Muslims. Yes, they do use the term "demand" repeatedly. I have seen some aggressive writings by Muslims in Europe before, but this ranks among the worst I have ever read, anywhere. I don't have time to translate everything, it is a list running over several pages with aggressive demands for just about everything.
They are DEMANDING separate family laws for Muslims, regulating marriage, divorce etc.
They are DEMANDING that public schools should employ imams to teach homogeneous classes of Muslims children in their religion and the language of their original homeland. (The city of Malmø already has pre-school classes where all teaching is conducted in Arabic. It's "good for integration.")
They are DEMANDING a "mosque in every municipality." The mosques should be built through interest-free loans made available by the local municipalities. This to demonstrate "Islam's right to exist in Sweden" and to "heighten the status of and respect towards Muslims."
They are also DEMANDING separation between boys and girls in gymnastics and swimming education in schools.
They are DEMANDING new laws instating Islamic holidays as public holidays for Muslims. Swedes should also ensure that all Muslims get two hours off from work during the congregational Friday prayer every week.
They are DEMANDING that the Swedish church, in cooperation with the local municipalities, makes available an Islamic burial ground in every municipality in the country where there are Muslims.
They are DEMANDING that Swedish authorities and Swedish media take stronger steps to combat Islamophobia in the public and in the Swedish system of education.

This happens at the same time as Muslim immigrants are more or less waging a war against native Swedes, through harassment, gang rapes and robberies. Swedish authorities are doing nothing to stop this, and Muslim immigration continues unabated:

Sweden should DEMAND these people be sent back to the latrine they came from.
There already is a law for Muslims in every Western nation. The law simply states that they are all free to hop a flight back to the Crapistan of their choice, and stay there for the rest of their lives.
Sweden has been identified as the weak link, the most Islamo-pushover nation in Europe closely followed by Norway. The natural fairness and accommodation of these thoughtful intelligent and wealthy nations is now coming under sustained attack from the Islamists.
The cocky Islamisists in these countries, as has been tried in Denmark, are trying to open a breach. They must be resisted with alacrity and fortitude. Otherwise it will be game over for them, only this is no game. Scandinavia you are under threat if you take no action!
Hmmmm. From the angry reaction of the Swedish politicians, it sounds like there is a distant possibility that they may have woken up. Perhaps Sweden will not need a Theo van Gogh murder to be jolted into some contact with reality. But I am still pessimistic. Their mindless endorsement of Hamas, on the same day, shows that the madness of PC is still gnawing at their vitals. I am willing to bet that within a few days, everyone will be talking to everyone, making proposals, finding ways to roll over and conced without looking like they are conceding. A long thradition of self-hatred, spinelessness and anti-Judaism is not forgotten in one day.
Unfortunately, I think Sweden is the weakest link, not because they lack understanding of Western values, but because they are prone to avoid conflict at all costs.
Therefore, they are no match to muslims completely shameless in their demands.
I respect Sweden because of the intellectual brilliance of their best minds and the fact that they have always supported and sympathized my country, when we have had problems.
However, I wish they would stand up for themselves this time around and avoid getting stopped by their ideological inhibitions.
l would insist that muslim burials be on a viking ship burial at sea, torch applied liberally, ashes can be sent down to allah. is they fear going to hell in their afterlife, they will not want to settle in Sweden!
I'll bet that Sweden will cave in to every demand. There seems to be no limit to European appeasement of muslims. Here's some news from Mark Steyn:
MARK STEYN
Over in Sweden, they've been investigating the Grand Mosque of Stockholm.
Apparently, it's the one-stop shop for all your jihad needs: you can buy audio
cassettes at the mosque encouraging you to become a martyr and sally forth to
kill "the brothers of pigs and apes" -- i.e. Jews. So somebody filed a
racial-incitement complaint and the coppers started looking into it, and then
Sweden's chancellor of justice, Goran Lambertz, stepped in. And Mr. Lambertz
decided to close down the investigation on the grounds that, even though the
porcine-sibling stuff is "highly degrading," this kind of chit-chat "should be
judged differently -- and therefore be regarded as permissible -- because they
were used by one side in an ongoing and far-reaching conflict where calls to
arms and insults are part of the everyday climate in the rhetoric that surrounds
this conflict."
In other words, if you threaten to kill people often enough, it will be seen as
part of your vibrant cultural tradition -- and, by definition, we're all cool
with that. Celebrate diversity, etc. Our tolerant multicultural society is so
tolerant and multicultural we'll tolerate your intolerant uniculturalism. Your
antipathy to diversity is just another form of diversity for us to celebrate.
Truly unbelievable, but almost every European country is clamoring to extradite the terminally ill Orianna Fallaci and try her for inciting racial hatred against Europe's sacred muslims. What the hell is going on with these people?!
Once again multiculturalism is a nation killer. There is no chance of victory while there is still a pathological obsession with MC. Forget it. I don't care how many Theo Van Goghs, or gang rapes, or continuted threats to public safety occur in the West at the hands of the enemy. Nothing short of divine intervention will arrest the downward spiral.

Multiculturalism within the nation state, is by definition a contradiction.

It will not stop with death threats. It may begin with a few threats, but it will escalate to bombs and Ak-47s. It remains to be seen how much backbone the Swedes have.
