Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Sweden: Record amount of political violence, especially against Islam-critical party

Oct 15, 2014 9:47 am By Nicolai Sennels

Swedishpolice(Swedish police talking with participants of anti-Swedish Democrats demo)

When I gave a speech at a Swedish Democrats meeting some years ago, we were protected by a dozen armed police men and women inside the building, and outside there were also a dozen police cars blocking and patrolling the area. Reading the Swedish news, there is no doubt that the vast, vast majority of political violence is against the Islam-critical Swedish Democrats, which became Sweden’s third biggest party at the latest elections. Translated from Sveries Radia, via 10news.dk (click to subscribe and support):

The amount of violence and threats was higher than ever before during the recent elections. This conclusion is drawn by the police, who now summarize their work in connection with this year’s two elections. In all, more than 2,300 crimes related to the parliamentary elections and European Parliament elections were reported.

…this includes 280 reported cases of violence and more than 300 illegal threats. …

“Protests in themselves have been a challenge for the Swedish police. It is mainly in connection with fringe parties, and preferably on the right side, where we had demonstrations and public meetings and rallies that demanded a different attention from the police, says Johan Branch Fors.

    Sweden is doomed and is being systematically destroyed by the zombie menace of political correctness. Pat Condell recently released a video about the “swedenstan” on you tube that is really worth watching, though somewhat depressing.

    Some would say that Sweden is a nation of profound thinkers.
    Isn’t it a shame that they are turning into a nation of shallow Ben Afflecks’.

    Yes, calling Sweden is a nation of Ben Afflecks’ is very insulting but they brought it on themselves.
    At least some Swedes are resisting the destruction of Sweden, but far too few to make a difference.

      You wrote – “At least some Swedes are resisting the destruction of Sweden, but **far too few to make a difference** [my emphasis – dda].”

      Why are you and so many others here, these days, so very swift to slap down wet blankets to extinguish even the smallest glimmers of hope?

      “Far too few”.

      Do you *know* for sure? Do you have the gift of prophecy?

      Here’s what Sennels said about the Swedish Democrats: ” the Islam-critical Swedish Democrats, which became Sweden’s third biggest party at the latest elections”.

      They have been much smaller. They have grown. They have passed ten percent. Ten percent of the votes means that one-tenth – the remnant – are choosing a new path. I recall reading somewhere that ten percent is the critical minimum needed for any social/ cultural/ political movement. If it works for the Muslims – and it does – it should work just as well for the non-Muslims.

      I do not see that there is any reason why they should not consolidate, and grow, and mature, and become a force to be reckoned with, so long as they persevere. Interestingly enough, when I looked them up on wiki (not that I necessarily trust the wiki accounts of any counter-jihad person or entity) it said that some of the Iraqi *Christian* refugees who have come to Sweden are joining them: voting for them, and even becoming members. Because …they *know* what Islam is.

        *Excellent* post, dda.

        ”Why are you and so many others here, these days, so very swift to slap down wet blankets to extinguish even the smallest glimmers of hope?”

        I’ve noticed the same phenomenon, and it not only enrages me, but makes me want to puke.

        Lan Astaslem !

          Yes Excellent post dumbledoresarmy I could debate your points But I won’t be debating the points you made since I have to deal with the shameless spitefulness of Mirren10 first.
          Mirren10 I understand that you may wish to add something to another commenters opinion reply but your repeated tiresome hatefulness and politicizing is not constructive to anyone not even to yourself.

      • Mirren10 says

        Oct 15, 2014 at 9:16 pm

        By the way, I left a comment for you on the thread below, re my meretricious MP, Trickett.

        http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/10/uk-parliament-votes-274-12-in-favor-of-recognizing-the-state-of-palestine/comment-page-1#comment-1134650

        • Mirren10 says

          Oct 16, 2014 at 7:03 am

          “The shameless spitefulness oh Mirren 10” ??!

          Good Lord, your egotism is monumental.

          dda said; “Why are you, and * so many others* here, these days, so very swift to slap down wet blankets to extinguish even the smallest glimmers of hope ?”

          My comment to her agreed with her recognition that there is a disturbing *number* of those within the counter-jihad, who are exhibiting a disturbing tendency to wet blanket signs that people are beginning to wake up, and fight back. *Not* just you, in your comment, but *others too*

          You, however, chose to read my comment as referring solely to *yourself*, which argues a petty self absorption which says a great deal about you.

          Further, you use *my* comment as an excuse not to reply to the points made by dda, instead electing to animadvert on what you infantilely describe as ” tiresome hatefulness and politicizing”.

          Ther was nothing “hateful” , or “political” in what I said, I was echoing dda’s concerns, which you have slithered out of addressing. Do you even know what ‘hatefulness’ and ‘politicising’ actually * mean* ?

          As I have noticed before, you argue like a leftard; instead of addressing what was said by *both* of us, you throw around epithets. How strange you don’t describe what dda said, as ‘hateful’, ‘spiteful’, or ‘politicising’. But that is because you don’t have the courage to label dda in the way you have labelled me.

          You have had a grudge against me since I pulled you up for your arrogant assumptions and petty smears towards others who comment here, and who, quite frankly, bring far more of value to the comments field than you ever have, or will.

          Sadly, you think that everything is about you, and eagerly look for slights where none were intended. I’ m afraid it is *you* who exhibits petty spitefulness and ‘politicising’ ( what you mean by this I am at a loss to understand), not I.

        I hope you are right. Nicolai Sennel produced an excellent psychological evaluation of the Muslim mind set. His findings were across Scandinavia, the most notable finding he made referred to IQ level of muslim immigrants. IQ70 and below on average. What does this tell us about Islam?

      Show me a country where Islam is openly, publicly and OFFICIALLY criticized, and I’ll show you a country that is NOT ruled by Islam.

    I live in the UK. Freedom of speech no longer exists. The political elite has enforced an authoritarian repressive regime. Honest discourse on Islam is taboo. Any attempt to criticize is forbidden. Comments sections in newspapers are quickly shut down. Yet Mr Cameron publicly shows his dhimmitude by endorsing the great benefits that Muslim immigration has brought. But not to despair. I think the real truth is gradually dawning on the masses thanks to blogs like Jihad Watch

      I agree Steve
      I’m so gutsed off about the lack of debate here in the UK. I am totally secular in nature with our public institutions. I hate the fact that this country will not have regular, open discussions on the impact of the negative impact of muslims in the UK.

      Pity dimwitted Cameron and his hoards don’t know this. Rotheram being a case in point. 25 years ago in Sheffield grooming gangs were first announced, since this time they have escalated and Cameron bleats about European immigrants of Christianity and other non islamic immigrants!

    The Swedish Democrats are rocking the socialist and PeeCeeEmCee boat too much; hence their supposedly “pacifist” countrymen attack them.

    Maybe the Swedish Democrats can pull something off and make a showing; maybe they’re the harbinger of a needed reversal in Europe; maybe they’re the last sputtering out of a Europe that is being swept away. Only time will tell.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Oct 15, 2014 at 9:45 pm

      Uncle Kepha.

      I hope that as well as standing by and watching events in places like Sweden, you are *praying*. You have Scandinavians among your ancestors, I think I recall you saying? – well, set aside one day a week to *pray* for the redemption and restoration of the lands of your forefathers! Pray for their reconversion!

      Awhile ago, a Swedish gentleman who was posting here stated that some of the “points of light” in the Swedish situation were small evangelical churches. They were lively, and growing, and he had perceived that they tended to have a realistic view of Islam. Pray for them! Pray that they will multiply. Pray that they will be able to break the spiritual chains that bind the thralls of Islam.

      Let’s not forget Mona Walter – born and raised Muslim, of Somali background, but now an apostate from Islam and a professed and practising Christian, married to a native Swedish Christian…and with *three* daughters. Pray for *her* and her family, that she will be protected from the sharia assassins and that her attempts to educate and warn will be heeded.

      I’ll *bet* that she isn’t the only one who has left Islam and now worships in a nice evangelical church somewhere in Sweden. She’s just the one that’s gone public.

      • Kepha says

        Oct 16, 2014 at 5:06 pm

        Dear Sister DDA:

        Yes, I pray for those old fjords, forests, and volk who lived by them. Yes, I am aware of the smaller dissenting bodies in Scandinavia and outreach to Muslims that has been working. Yes, I bless God for the Pietist and Evangelical witness that once poured forth from Scandinavia.

        But I still cannot avoid crying, “By whom shall Jacob arise, for he is small!” (Amos 7:2).

        I am also in prayer for my own country, which is more and more misled; more and more hostile to the faith that built it. Even in Texas, the city of Houston–in Texas, mind you– wants ministers to submit sermons for official scrutiny (as in Communist China), lest they preach against the current liberal sacred cow of sexual perversion. We further have both parties bending over backwards to make Islam look good.

        Your message has hit me at a bad time. I’ve just read through Ezekiel, and think of how the Shekinah Glory departed from the temple in 10:18. I weep before God that it may not be that we are witnessing the same thing happening to our once-Christian and God-fearing culture.

        More than ever, I am convinced that the weakness of Christians’ spirituality is the secret strength of Islam–that religion and culture which, while preserving and passing on the accomplishments of others, produced nothing save slums surrounded by deserts and people who become worse as they grow more into their Hellish parody of piety.

    If you are not sure what the term “self-fulfilling prophecy” means, go up to a group of Muslims in Europe or any Islamistan and say: “I don’t like Islam because I think criticizing it would provoke senseless violence.”

    I wonder if Swedish women who try to resist being raped by Muslim men will be charged with islamophobia?

    • Vivienne Leijonhufvud (goldie) says

      Oct 17, 2014 at 10:14 am

      Not even reported Richie, a member of the Leijonhufvud clan (Professor of Law Stockholm) attempted to point out to the authorities (gummint) women fear not being taken seriously. One mother of three was raped by 12 Afghani Moslems in 2013 not mention in the papers at all. The top rag in Sweden finally reported in early 2014. What chance have Swedish women got? The new fashion craze is go brunette or black and wear a headscarf to avoid being raped. The worst case was a girl under thirteen pinned against a wall in Husby Swimming pool and raped by four muslim boys/men from different muslim countries.

    God help Sweden when in January 2015 ‘criticism against Islam’ becomes statute. SOCO and the police have one hell of a time dealing with Muslim rioters, arsonists, rapes, murders and sniper shootings. Course the Swedish press never print any of this. Just like the world never knew the Eugenics programme of Sweden was unofficially dismantled in ’76 in truth it was 2012 (courtesy of the Economist) Finally god help the LGBT community in Stockholm notably the Gay capital of Europe. Yearly there is a ‘Gay Parade and Award’ ceremony annually!
