Malmö is, of course, the city from which Jews are already fleeing because of antisemitic attacks from the Muslims there. "Attack Against the Synagogue in Malmö Revives Threat Concerns for the Jewish Community," from Sweden Israel and the Jews, July 25 (thanks to Joseph):
In the early morning hours on Friday a large explosion was reported outside Malmö's synagogue. The explosion is suspected to have been caused by a substantial firecracker and is seen as an attack on the synagogue. The attack can also be seen as a resurgence of the threat against the Malmö Jewish community.Some minutes before 2am the night between July 22nd and the 23rd a big explosion was reported outside the synagogue in Malmö. Residents living close to the synagogue reported that an explosion was heard and there was also a very bright flash. Spokesperson for the police, Göran Billberg commented that the explosion most probably was due to "some kind of firecracker", and did not characterize the explosive as a bomb.
The local newspaper Sydsvenskan reported incorrectly that no damage was done to the synagogue; in fact the explosion was so strong that several of the synagogue windows were blown out by the blast. [...]
The local police force feels that it is not necessary to enforce security around the synagogue although it is evident that the Jewish Community remains in a state of constant threat....
Evidently those in power in Sweden want all the Jews to leave, or don't care if they leave.
Is it true the Jews are once again leaving Europe?
Why provide security to the Jew? It will only delay all of them moving away and the synagogue conversion timeline will be thrown out of skew. Be practical good people. Islam is here to stay, don't delay the transition to the "best of peoples." The Jewish community, facing the threat of constant danger in Malmö, are the ones that have to act. There is no need for police intervention in this situation. The police won't venture in certain parts of the city. You expect them to stick there necks out needlessly? One thing you can count on for sure. An unbiased reporting of the aftermath. Every Dhimmi deserves as much. The police, in saving their own skins first, aren't thinking far enough down the road that their won't be a society left that will issue them a pension.

"Constant threat" from whom? You would never have the least idea from reading this article.
Almosty half of the hate crimes reported in 2009 were anti-Semitic—even though there are an estimated 60,000 Muslims in Malmo—versus only about 700 Jews.
The growing threat to Jews in Malmo is directly related to the swelling Muslim population—and leftist anti-Semetic Mayor Reepalu's refusal to take the violence seriously.
One must give credit to the Swedes for consistency. There attitude towards the Jews hasn't changed much since their "neutrality" during WWII.
"Constant threat" from whom? You would never have the least idea from reading this article."
Oh, they wouldn't dare say the word "Muslims." The Barbarian Perps must be protected. Which shows you how immensely screwed-up the world is right now.
Looks like "Never Again" is beginning to happen again. Except this time it's not by Jew-hating Nazis - it's by Jew-hating Muslims.
"Some kind of firecracker" strong enough to blow out several windows? Yeah, sure.
Göran Billberg commented that the explosion most probably was due to "some kind of firecracker", and did not characterize the explosive as a bomb.
Right. Maybe it was just a bunch of kids having fun? Yeah, that's probably what happened. Couldn't have been Muslim aggression towards Jews. That sort of thing doesn't exist. Not in Sweden, anyway.

Big surprise. If, however, a mosque was bombed, those cops would have tripped over each other to beef up security at the site.
It's sad to say, but maybe the West deserves what it's getting right now from the Muslims, for being this stupid and blind.
The bigger and stronger and more confidently aggressive the Muslim colony within any given non-Muslim country becomes, the greater the threat not simply to all non-Muslims in general within that country, but specifically, and often first of all, to any Jews there resident: for Jews are right at the top of the aspiring Jihadist's "people to kill" to-do list. As we saw in Mumbai, when one part of the ghazwa raiding party was specifically told off to attack..the Chabad House and its rabbi with his wife, and the jihadis in that group were told that the Jews were a more 'high-value' target than anything else in the city.
"One must give credit to the Swedes for consistency. There attitude towards the Jews hasn't changed much since their "neutrality" during WWII."
There is some truth in this, but not the truth that is implied. Swedes are not antisemitic as such. They are just very afraid of conflict and since jews shy away from conflict while the arab muslims are so quick to it, Swedes simply favor muslims in order not to "rock the boat". This idiom is very central to swedish culture, perhaps second only to "jantelagen" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jante_Law).
" in fact the explosion was so strong that several of the synagogue windows were blown out by the blast. "
but it's OK - it was 'only a firecracker'
People sometimes comment that Europeans feel guilty because of the Holocaust and that colours the way they feel about foreigners now but I think Europeans feel vaguely guilty just because they see foreigners ( especially coloured )as poor and downtrodden ( a stupid generalisation )
If they felt guilty because of the Holocaust , they'd have a lot more sympathy for the Jews now but they reserve their sympathy for the 'downtrodden' muslims .
Muslims are now called "asians" and bombs are now called "firecrackers".
It's becoming very difficult to stay on top of all these PC changes to our vocabulary, or is that what is supposed to happen, keep everyone so confused that they don't really know for sure what's going on?
Or maybe the powers that be are hoping we'll become so frustrated that we simply won't care? (sarcasm off)
Now I get it. I had one of those things land at my feet during an inter-Muslim conflict, and though I got lucky, others didn't. Mine was a dud. I called it a hand-grenade. Now I know it was a "fire-cracker." Live and learn, as they say, so long as one lives through it.
"The local police force feels that it is not necessary to enforce security around the synagogue although it is evident that the Jewish Community remains in a state of constant threat...."
Sounds just like the West Midlands Police Force, ignoring the threat that was obvious to all, and leaving small groups of EDL supporters to be picked off by roving gangs of Muslims.
The difference this time is that we have a place to go to,It is called Eretz Israel.We may perish,but we will have a gun in our hands to defend ourselves.And unlike Massada,we will fight.
And unlike Massada,we will fight.
I thought the Jews at Massada did fight the Romans...But apparently when the Romans finally stormed the place, many killed themselves rather then surrender to Roman slavery...
Several years ago I read a series of articles about an archaeological dig on Massada where they reportedly discovered a room full of skeletons, who they believed were the people who killed themselves...
As far as fighting to defend yourself, I'm with you...
Jews today. Swedes tomorrow. Wake up, IDIOTS!!
The blueprints already exist for the mosque to be built on its site. Check with the local city planner filed under "Cordoba."
I am outraged at this atrocity. And the Sewdish government does nothing? Have they sold their souls to the Arabs? At this rate it wont be long before the daughters of the Swedes will be confined to the harems of the roving Muslim warlord and their henchmen. IT WILL HAPPEN IF THE SWEDES DONT FIGHT BACK. Take this from a Hindu who has read in history books all the gory stuff that happened to his ancestors at the hands of Muslims because they were too passive to respond to Muslim aggression. Wake up NOW or die Sweden!
Boy, those firecrackers are sure powerful in Swede!
Wake up call for the Swedes. Time to go a-viking on somebody's ass.
The religion of Peace co existing peacefully with non muslims. Just like in Cordoba!
Sweden is FOS!
They DID take in the Danish Jews when the Danish resistance smuggled its Jewisih Community out in a BRILLIANT Operation the day before the Nazios were going to Round-Up Danish Jews, but THEY ABUSED their "neutrality" by ASSISTING Nazi Germany in COUNTLESS Ways.
To show how insensitive some Swedes can be, a friend of a friend of my wife's,a Swedish Couple, has a wood carving of the World"Leaders" during the Nazi Era,which includes Hitler, on display in their Family room. "Nice",Huh?

During the Second World War Sweden sold iron ore to Germany which was then ruled by the Nazis. That is why the Norwegian port of Narvick was heavily bombed by the Allies.
Londo, I know what you mean by Jante Law. It seems that socialism, whether democratic or other, is tailor made to foster it.
Frankly, though, I for one don't think that Sweden is worth fighting for. Being PeeCee is more important to them than protecting their own women from rape, so how could you expect them to worry about the Jews, whose roots in Swedish society are not all that deep? Further, I am sick and tired of Swedish sanctimoniousness in international affairs. While I am grateful for Sweden's role in the rescue of the Jews of Denmark and about half of those from Norway, I am also aware of who supplied iron and ball bearings for Nazi Germany's industry; how Olof Palme was a great supporter of the Communists in Southeast Asia and threw the whole force of Sweden's vaunted, inflation-wracked "Third Way" down on their side; and how Jan Myrdal and Gun Kessele were shameless tokhes-leckers to Mao Zedong (one of the most vicious men ever to be used as a rod of God's righteous anger against a nation--see Isaiah 10：5ff.)

Very true, CHOI—virtually the *entire Jewish population of Denmark* was smuggled into safety in Sweden in a single night in 1943. This coordinated rescue between the Swedish government, the Swedish Jewish community, and the Danish authorities, is one of the most heartening tales—of all too few—from the Holocaust.
Once in Sweden, many Danish Jews settled in—you guessed it—Malmö.
Today the Swedes are allowing Muslims to terrorize Jews and push them out. This is not only morally wrong, it is foolish. Aggressive Muslims are already targeting ethnic Swedes as well as Swedish Jews.
Sweden will not be the better for it.
"Time to go a-viking on somebody's ass."
The Viking has gone the way of the Dodo bird. Now Sweden makes Ikea furniture and equally pleasant pre-fab PC MC constructs.
All seriousness aside (as Steve Allen used to say)...
Commenters above have brought up the Holocaust and the "Never Again" mantra associated with it.
Well, a Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Roman Forum...
In the intervening decades, PC MC has become dominant throughout the West. 911, perversely yet logically, gave PC MC a boost with regard to its irrational deference toward Muslims. Not only 911, but every act of violence Muslims have done (and there have been thousands now) only strengthens PC MC deference toward Muslims, rather than weakens it, as it would were PC MC rational.
What does this have to do with the Holocaust, and about forgetting about "Never Again"...?
Two things make it crucially relevant:
1) Muslims are perceived by PC MC to be "more ethnic" than Jews and thus more worthy of deference;
and
2) Muslims perpetrate violence, Jews don't.
PC MC Moral of the Story:
The squeakier -- and the browner -- wheel gets the grease.
Oodles and gallons of grease. White lithium at that..Still squeaky tho..and actually screeching at times..Transgression,uh transmission fluid just might do it..
On the effect of Jews, compared to the effect of Muslims.
As the Jewish presence in a country increases, so too - perceptibly - does that country's GDP both intellectual and economic.
As the Jewish presence decreases...
Conversely:
as the *Muslim* presence in a country increases, that country's GDP both intellectual and economic (not to mention its overall quality of life)...DECREASES.
When the Muslims leave, things get better.
Now, O Swedes, which do you choose: the inoffensive, hard-working, productive and generally law-abiding Jews...or the aggressive, seditious, often lazy, destructive and very, very expensive Muslims?
You can't have both. It just won't work. The Jews will flee, and you will be left with squawking, murderous Mohammedan cuckoos in your nest.
