Spencer in Sweden last July with Kent Ekeroth and Daniel Assai of the Sweden Democrats
The Sweden Democrats are mercilessly defamed in the mainstream media. Predictably, they're charged with being "racist" and "neo-Nazi," and predictably, they're neither, as you can see from this pdf. They're actually a staunchly pro-democracy, pro-human rights, pro-Israel party that is making a strong stand against Islamization and the stealth jihad in Sweden. (Visual evidence of the party's actual nature comes in the photo above: Ekeroth is Jewish, and Assai an immigrant to Sweden from Iran).
I spoke in Sweden at the invitation of the Sweden Democrats last July; you can see the videos here and here. "Extremists in Sweden ride immigration wave," from UPI, September 25:
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Sept. 25 (UPI) -- In a seismic upheaval in Swedish politics, an extreme-right movement accused of being Islamophobic has won seats in the country's Parliament, observers say.Election victories by the Sweden Democrats, a party widely denounced as "racist and neo-Nazi," have probably saddled the country with a fragile minority government, Britain's Guardian newspaper reported.
Sweden Democrats leader Jimmie Akesson, 31, celebrated his party winning nearly 6 percent of the vote by declaring: "We're in."...
Extreme left journalists calling defenders of freedom and democracy 'extreme right/fascists' are traitors who need to be fired and jailed.
That is soooo typical of the 'Grauniad' ( so called because of the number of typos in each issue) - they win 6% of the vote - maybe at last, some people are beginning to see.

Robert Spencer was invited by Sverigedemokraterna
(the Sweden Democrats) to speak at an event
in Almedalen
"Far-right" is the Homeric epithet of choice for those who do not want you to find out what, exactly, Jimmie Akesson of the Swedish Democrats, or Geert Wilders of the Freedom Party, or any of those associated with similar groups, stand for. All of them stand not for "anti-immmigrant" measures but for "anti-Muslim immigrant" measures, a very different thing. None of them stand for "making war" on Islam in the obvious way -- that is, huffing and puffing with lots of planes and tanks and boots on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan. In fact, Wilders and other European opponents of Islam are too keenly aware that the real theatre of war, that is the war of self-defense being so confusedly and wanly waged by non-Muslims, against those who take Islam to heart (and this includes not all, but a very great many, Muslims, with the possibility, at any time, that the other Muslims, who call themselves Muslims but have been lukewarm or uninvolved will in a sense renew their Islamic vows under the pressure of personal disappointments -- and we have no way of detecting what, in the lives of these individuals, sets off such an emotional metamorphosis) is within their own countries, and they are not impressed with the American government's grotesque squandering of resources, and attention, first to Iraq and now to Afghanistan (this, incidentally, shows how much more advanced are those who worry most about Islam in Europe, as compared, for example, to those who keep insisting, many of them Bush loyalists or Republicans of other stripes, who cannot quite believe that the whole Iraq-Afghanistan thing has been the waste it has been, and who don't want us "to pull out" because, you see, "that is what the left wants").
The platform of Wilders and of Akesson also shows great sympathy and solicitousness for the elderly poor, and wants much more public support for them. That too, suggests that the epithet "far-right" =- if we are using "far-right" in the American sense -- hardly applies.
But don't worry anyone with details, or facts. These don't matter. What matters is that those who oppose the spread and the growing power of the Total Belief-System of Islam and those who are its slavish, or at any time its potentially slavish, adherents, are to be dismissed as "far right, far right, far right." Abandon all thought, ye who enter here.
When the Sweden Democrats are getting between 20 and 30% of the vote like Wilders' party in Holland, that's when we can begin to celebrate and have hope in Sweden's future.
Did you hear about the Swedish Democrat who lied about being attacked by Arabs? I hear he's in deep shit.

"Extreme left journalists calling defenders of freedom and democracy 'extreme right/fascists' are traitors who need to be fired and jailed."
Jailing people who don't want to demonize Muslims? Cracking down on dissent? Are Journalists who disagree with racists (just ask and I'll proved a link) traitors?
Sounds like fascism to me.
"defenders of freedom" my ass
I know you! You're the one with the Muslim woman fetish!
(I can tell by the pornographic images on your website)
The Egyptian government is committing genocide against the Copts? News to me.
What about the Serbian government? You Muslim haters simply deny that genocide.
ALL PEOPLE SHOULD VOTE THE DEMOCRATS IF THEY REALLY CONCERN ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THEIR CHILDREN AND THE COUNTRY.THE WESTERN GOVERNMENTS AND NON-MUSLIM WORLD ARE NOE FACING THE HARD CHOICES BETWEEN TWO DILEMAS:CHOOSE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AS ALWAYS PRETENDING THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH ISLAM,OR CHOOSE A PROACTIVE STANCE AGAINST THIS THREAT TO SOCIAL COHESION POSED BY GROWING MUSLIM POPULATION AND MUSLIM IMMIGRATION INTO SWEDEN ! THEY ARE FREE TO CHOOSE SURVIVAL OR SUBJUGATION.
I'm surprised that the left leaning statistas do not call the opponents of islamo-fascism by the old sobriquet "Contras", or should it be "Neo-contras".
Excellent! Congratulations!

" Muslim woman fetish!"
You really, really hate freedom of speech!
Rub it, Muslim, rub it!
"you'll say I'm using Taqiyya (a baseless cop-out)."
FYI, using the taqiyya warning when it concerns anything muslims say is simply good common sense and a standard caution for the naive.
"In a seismic upheaval in Swedish politics, an extreme-right movement accused of being Islamophobic has won seats in the country's Parliament, observers say."
How over dramatized can they get?
It sounds like the Nazi Party under Adolf Hitler just came to power.
The press loves to belittle and bully anyone who wants freedom.
One would think that the Press would want freedom. Perhaps they like being dictated as to what to write and what to publish...kind of like masochists.
Substance, that's all that matters.
You offer none. Just idiocy and stupidity.
The 'pornographic images' that offend you are as good as any rejection of your revolting belief-system.
That's why I said: rub it. If it turns you on, do it again. And don't forget to let your wives wash the stains out of your clothes.
But read the whole thing. Its all there. But we can always add on. Your false profit, his sex obsession, in condensed form:

The leaders of the Danish People's Party have now and then been plagued by "misunderstanders", to use an expression well know to us here. People who think they have carte blanche to abuse any and all immigrants in the interest of racism have consistently been dealt with however.
It is in the interest of all other political parties to make the anti-Islam movements appear suspect, and we see this all across Europe. The ultimate abuse to this day has remained "racist" and "fascist", the mere accusation of which formerly were sufficient to silence any man but now reduced to mean nothing more than "nationalist".
That aside, it is a fact that anti-Islamization movements are right-of-center, often very much so. But they consist of people who dare speak their minds, people who are not afraid of running against Political Correctness, people who are unafraid of not appearing "nice", people who are very much aware of the nation's past and values, people who see the future being eroded by the true fascism: the belief in Muhammad and his puppet God giving special and supremacist rights to the Faithful.
Regarding the charges made by Anton Long above, here is a statement from Kent Ekeroth:
About the local Sweden Democrat that wanted to 'ban' practising Muslims:
The Sweden Democrats said the following in reply to that; that we understand his concern regarding islam but that he has been misinterpreted. We want to uphold freedom of religion.
About "Sweden Democrat calls for opponents to be 'shot'":
We do not accept such statements or opinions and she was going to be excluded from the party for what she said. Instead she immediately chose to leave the party before we took the decision of banning her. Her views and statement has nothing to do with our party's policies and thus she is no longer a member of our party.
Regarding Kent Ekeroth:
Of course we do not want to encourage totalitarian ideologies such as islam. When you immigrate to Sweden you should be expected to adapt to our societies and not the other way around. And if our society doesn't adapt to muslim demands that will obviously make it less attractive to live in Sweden as a muslim. You can have whatever god you like, but cannot expect that Sweden should adapt to it.
"The Sweden Democrats said the following in reply to that; that we understand his concern regarding islam but that he has been misinterpreted. We want to uphold freedom of religion."
Yeah, sure: "misinterpreted". Sounds to me like a half-assed defense of your fellow bigot.
BTW Spencer you have many factual errors (the whole page is a misrepresentation in your "Islam 101". Here are a few.
"When the Quran was finally collated into book form under Caliph Uthman, the suras were ordered from longest to shortest with no connection whatever to the order in which they were revealed or to their thematic content"
Have you ever opened a Koran? You can't even get a simple thing like this right.
"Due to the state of war between dar al-Islam and dar al-harb"
You convienently forgot to mention the Dar al-Hudna, and the Dar al-Ahd.
"Taqiyya" is the religiously-sanctioned doctrine, with its origins in Shi'a Islam but now practiced by non-Shi'a as well"
Because Fitzgerald said so? How about you give me an example of a Sunni scholar who approves of Taqiyya?
It is simply an cop-out used by you when you can't weasal your way out of an debate.
Your map called "Turkish wave" is innacurate, as you make it seem like Muslims conquered Russia, when in actuality Mongols conquered it and converted to Islam.
Anyways, good luck fighting Muslim charities, headscaraves, and Halal food on your hate site.
Well, clearly substance was mentioned and you couldn't respond to it.
"Why should anyone bother to respond?"
Apperantly Lord Spencer was scared enough to respond.
"Breaking: Swedish Christian Democrat Attacked by Gang of 40 Islamic Thugs"
"Christian Democrat" attacked by Ali Baba and his 40 thieves? I doubt the authenticity of your story.
And that wasn't the fabricated attack I mentioned.
http://www.thelocal.se/29106/20100919/
"The 'pornographic images' that offend you are as good as any rejection of your revolting belief-system."
Well, if your purpose is to run a porn site that offends falafel merchants...
Anyways, you weren't able to respond to any of my points. We know who really has no substance.
