Jimmie Åkesson is party chairman of the Sweden Democrats; Mattias Karlsson is the party’s group leader in Parliament. They know the reality of what is happening in Sweden, as opposed to what the establishment propaganda media want you to know.
“Trump Is Right: Sweden’s Embrace of Refugees Isn’t Working,” by Jimmie Åkesson and Mattias Karlsson, Wall Street Journal, February 22, 2017:
When President Trump last week raised Sweden’s problematic experience with open-door immigration, skeptics were quick to dismiss his claims. Two days later an immigrant suburb of Stockholm was racked by another riot. No one was seriously injured, though the crowd burned cars and hurled stones at police officers.
Mr. Trump did not exaggerate Sweden’s current problems. If anything, he understated them. Sweden took in about 275,000 asylum-seekers from 2014-16—more per capita than any other European country. Eighty percent of those who came in 2015 lacked passports and identification, but a majority come from Muslim nations. Islam has become Sweden’s second-largest religion. In Malmö, our third-largest city, Mohamed is the most common name for baby boys.
The effects are palpable, starting with national security. An estimated 300 Swedish citizens with immigrant backgrounds have traveled to the Middle East to fight for Islamic State. Many are now returning to Sweden and are being welcomed back with open arms by our socialist government. In December 2010 we had our first suicide attack on Swedish soil, when an Islamic terrorist tried to blow up hundreds of civilians in central Stockholm while they were shopping for Christmas presents. Thankfully the bomber killed only himself.
Riots and social unrest have become a part of everyday life. Police officers, firefighters and ambulance personnel are regularly attacked. Serious riots in 2013, involving many suburbs with large immigrant populations, lasted for almost a week. Gang violence is booming. Despite very strict firearm laws, gun violence is five times as common in Sweden, in total, as in the capital cities of our three Nordic neighbors combined.
Anti-Semitism has risen. Jews in Malmö are threatened, harassed and assaulted in the streets. Many have left the city, becoming internal refugees in their country of birth.
The number of sex crimes nearly doubled from 2014-15, according to surveys by the Swedish government body for crime statistics. One-third of Swedish women report that they no longer feel secure in their own neighborhoods, and 12% say they don’t feel safe going out alone after dark. A 1996 report from the same government body found that immigrant men were far likelier to commit rape than Swedish men. Last year our party asked the minister of justice to conduct a new report on crime and immigration, and he replied: “In light of previous studies, I do not see that a further report on recorded crime and individuals’ origins would add knowledge with the potential to improve the Swedish society.”
Our nation’s culture hasn’t been spared either. Artists accused of insulting Islam live under death threats. Dance performances and art exhibitions have been called off for fear of angering Islamists. Schools have prohibited the singing of traditional Christian hymns because they don’t want to “insult” non-Christian immigrants. Yet reports made with hidden cameras by journalists from Swedish public media show mosques teaching fundamentalist interpretations of Islam….

Are we really surprised this probsbly will continue if we don’t get a handle on it. This can happen in Canada and the USA. Prime Minister Trudeau does not take it seroius. Open your eyes western leaders.

Hi, I just to share this with you,
Chinese joke about ISIS
===================.
(Picked up on the web)……………..
A few years ago, ISIS trained eight people for many months before sending them on terrorist missions to China.
The first guy’s target was Beijing’s most complex interchange. He passed out due to motion sickness.
The second guy wanted to blow up a public bus in Shanghai during rush hour time. He couldn’t squeeze on any of them.
The third guy’s target was a supermarket in Shanxi. His remote detonator got stolen.
The fourth guy wanted to blow up a restaurant in Sichuan. He died from food poisoning and overly spicy food.
The fifth guy’s target was a luxury hotel in Hong Kong. He got butchered by the Triad before he could even get close to said hotel.
The sixth guy’s target was a military factory in Shenyang. He got lost in the smog and died from air pollution.
The seventh person was actually a woman. She was told to blow up a bar in Henan. She met a human trafficker and nobody has heard from her ever since.
The last guy did actually manage to blow up a building in Jiangsu and kill dozens of people. However, the Chinese media didn’t even report on the incident. When what he did was finally confirmed, it was already too late; he got executed by the organization because they thought he was lying.
After that, ISIS learned to never again mess with China.

The media today would lie about the Titanic sinking as they cruised into the iceberg.
Phil Copson says
“The media today would lie about the Titanic sinking as they cruised into the iceberg.”
“We are delighted to announce the safe return of 705 passengers from our inaugural “Early Morning Atlantic Iceberg Interface Experience”. Our valued customers – including many well-known celebrities from the worlds of showbiz, Wall Street and the British aristocracy – clad in complimentary Carpathian luxury woollen blankets and sipping from our artisan range of nourishing soups, spoke animatedly to reporters on the “life-changing experience” they had enjoyed, and “how glad it had made them to be alive!”. “There are no depths that Cunard won’t go to…” said one satisfied survivor.
The other 1503 passengers were unavailable for interview, but since absolutely no adverse comments have been received from them, we feel sure that they were equally delighted with their Cunard experience.
The SS Titanic itself is continuing to demonstrate it’s outstanding submersible qualities, and has successfully remained at the bottom of the Atlantic for over one-hundred years, a record for a ship of this size!”
Company Report, 1913.
At a celebratory inquest held to mark the successful conclusion of this “One-off” oceanic extravaganza, company director Sir Maximus Greed amused the large crowd of mourners by recounting the tale of how he had halted on his way to the evenings Gala event to replenish the fuel-tank of his motor-carriage. The task was being attended to by one of the many amusing “Scousers” who are such a notable feature of Liverpool life with their flat caps, flat vowels, and rickets. It appears that the little fellow presumed so far as to engage Sir Maximus in conversation, and our host obligingly recounted the exchange in the local accent. “Ey! What sort of car’s this then, mate?” enquired the rustic, enviously eyeing the magnificently-appointed behometh. “It’a Rolls-Royce, my good man.” replied Sir Maximus. “A Rolls-Royce!” said his enquirer, evidently much struck: “How did you get one of these then?” “Although it’s really none of your concern…” replied Sir Maximus, munificently, “I own a Rolls-Royce because I am a director of a major shipping line. In fact, I work for Cunard.” “Well, I work fookin’ hard” exclaimed our ragged-trousered friend indignantly, “and nobody gives me a sodding Rolls-Royce!”
Oliver says
Excellent- great take on contemporary news reporting.
Phil Copson says
Thank you: though I’ll take no credit for the “work for Cunard / work fookin’ hard” joke – (it works better if you can mentally assume a Liverpudlian accent) – it’s an old one, and I couldn’t resist the opportunity to give it an international audience.
Now, can I get America to understand Tony Hancock ?
The evil me says
The Titanic was could not possibly have been sunk by an iceberg. Global warming…. I mean climate change has melted all icebergs since the evil human righwing nazis began using fire to cook meat they got by murdering animals instead of being responsible plant eaters.
The Titanic was sunk by Occupy Cunard with help of Antifa in protest of the 1% and a soon to be private in the german army who is currently draft dodging the Austrian Army

With the information of this above news article concerning Sweden and the folly of the politicians of the country on Muslim immigration into nation and the wisdom of President Trump, it’s very appropriate that the following essay should be reiterated.
Those dangerous, violent and rioting Muslims who engage in all that awful mayhem in Sweden have ,by their own willful behavior ,proven President Trump to be right ,wise and knowledgeable in what he said. Furthermore, of such awful lawless actions of the rioting Muslims in Sweden serves as not only an example of Muslim ungratefulness and unthankfulness for letting them enter Sweden to live. This this further r exposes the Muslim’s Islamic contempt for people who are Westerners and Western civilization, Western laws.
This Muslim violence may be yet better explained by one of the fables of Aesop which is entitled THE FARMER AND THE VIPER. So here it is “Once in ancient Greece there was a farmer outside on a very cold winter day walking in if field to make sure that everything is in order and as it should be. The farmer came upon a half-froze viper about to die from the bitter cold. The kind yet foolish farmer took pity on the viper and in an action of kindness put it his is vest jacket to warms and up and thus save its life. The viper warned up revived and then bit farmer through the vest jacket. So the kind but foolish farmer died a slow painful death in awful agony because he felt sorry of the viper and saved it life. The point to this fable is the no amount of kindness will change and vicious and evil nature.
So it is with those Muslim migrants who were allowed to enter Sweden to live . Those violent migrants who are Muslims will not be impress and change because kindness of Westerners. This is because those violent Muslims have that ungrateful dangerous viper nature because of their venomous and violent religion which is Islam.
bob says
Couldn’t of put it better myself! Europe was attacked and nearly fell in the 1400’s before the muslim hoardes were repelled. This time it is more ‘humane’ but the end wants to take over the world. Forget about ‘peaceful muslims’ because they all want the same thing. Domination.I for one will fight with my last breath to make sure it does not happen.
Oliver says
The WSJ printed it. Other lame stream media will not.
One of the few honest statements that Obama made. My opinion.
Paraphrasing Obama. When I want to see how great I am I read the New York Times.
When I want real news I read the WSJ.
The NYT and CNN will not report this.. Nor other media
Diane Harvey says
No matter where in the world,
No matter when in time,
Islam and its Muslim adherents are aggressors against all the principles and values of the West.
Man o man, this is so difficult to get across to lefties.
Catherine says
God bless President Trump for bringing attention to this issue.
Those of us who have followed the “refugee” situation in Europe, and the efforts of leadership to sweep under the rug all the crime and violence that accompanies this government-sponsored invasion, are hoping the tide will start to turn. Or at least more people will wake up. I’ve noticed that the gaggle of mockers and scoffers who emerged to jeer at Trump for mentioning trouble in Sweden have largely shut up, in the face of proof that there are problems indeed.
No, those of us who wish to live in safe communities, to avoid this type of social breakdown in our own countries, are not “selfish”, “uncompassionate”, “intolerant”, “bigoted”, or whatever other adjectives the Left would like to throw at us.
mortimer says
Yes, thank you, President Trump for rubbing their noses in the MESS THEY DIDN’T NEED TO CREATE…the fools!
Muslims want the freedoms and prosperity of the West created by freedom…then they try to impose the FAILED political Islam that THEY FLED FROM.
Muslims who moved to the West and yearn for Sharia should leave and go to a Sharia Berzerkistan.
Oliver says
On yahoo news-interesting sort of blog/article.
A Silicon Valley Dem.- went around the country, and spoke to about 100 Trump supporters.
He used no names-most would not speak their names. Immaterial.
WHAT HE FOUND MOST -WELL STRANGE- ( MY WORD, NOT HIS)-MANY MUSLIMS, BLACKS AND HISPANICS –WHO SUPPORTED HIM.
(RE: Muslims- before the election-I THINK it was on JW- a poll showed 11% of the Muslims polled liked Trump, and one-a Muslim in FL. said that he is a small businessman, Trump understands business, and did not want the scum form the M. E. coming here- and wanting freebies).
back to the article/blog–he was surprised- the people were not stupid; not racists; and did not like it that the leftists- would not (rationally) debate, jsut say that one with opposing views is wrong.
Interesting
Stan Lee says
Obviously, there are at least two understandings from Swedish politicians. There is the segment that would rather jeopardize peaceful. law-observant Swedes, and there are the Swedish politicians who look the other way while Muslim criminality does whatever it wants to do. That group of politicians are morally corrupt, they would rather the entire nation suffer than to admit that Sweden allowed “the devil” into their country. The other group of politicians must believe they are powerless to save their nation, because they are “onlookers, sometimes expressing righteous indignation…and no more than that!”
Not only must Sweden rid itself of the “invitees” who misrepresented themselves, because in reality, they came to conquer Sweden and convert Swedes (many of whom had become secular insofar as religion is concerned) to bow to Islam.
For a nation of approx. 10 million souls, those who have been in political power have fatally miscalculated the amount of “refugees” to whom it permitted entry. The Swedish politicians have yet to admit how they have exposed a once-peaceful and safe Sweden to bestial criminality. They should be ousted from office by the quickest means possible. The longer they are in office, the worse the situation will become, they must be “recalled” from office or they’ll continue to satisfy the insanity of the EU, while Sweden stands by and watches the demise of its nation.
Sweden should not be satisfied that it is doing nothing more than suffering just as its fellow EU members are suffering. Those EU member nations have surrendered their respective peoples to the lunacy of EU politicians and the one nation that has attempted to “do the right thing” has been the UK.
Hungary is the better example though, it kept itself out of trouble by considering its people before all else. Viktor Orban, its leader, went against the EU by saying “no” to Brussels in order to preserve Hungarian freedoms. He had the intestinal fortitude to do it, the others with all their present internal national difficulties hadn’t the necessary courage. They stopped believing in “country” and became EU slaves. They took the easiest path, or thought it would be. And, now they have gone silent, when the time has come to admit failure and take steps to return their countries to peace and stability.
Fatts says
It is too late for Sweden. They are doomed to islamic rule and sharia by the year 2021. While there are, doubtless, proud and brave Swedes, they are too few in number.
Sweden lacks the resources and the national will to deal with this stranger who has invaded their home.
Let Sweden serve as fair notice to the rest of Western Europe, what will become of their homes if they don’t muster the will to wage civil war against these islamic invaders.
jayell says
You’re probably right but one can always hope that might yet be a way out of this. However, what took them so long to come to this obvious conclusion when the evidence was staring them in the face for years? Why did it need Donald Trump to give them the guts to face facts? Are they really THAT weak-willed?
RichardL says
They lack the will. Now. But swedes are ferocious fighters and if the want to they fight back they can solve the islamic problem.
I have been in street fights with muslims and they are pathetic. Only in a crowd are they really dangerous.
dumbledoresarmy says
The Swedish Democrats exist.
And by all accounts their membership and leadership is not only from among the middle-aged and upwards, but amongst *younger* Swedes as well.
That is cause for hope. Think! despite the incredible barrage of propaganda, there are young Swedes who can think for themselves, who can put two and two together to make four, who have the courage to step up and start speaking out.
Akesson is a young man, relatively speaking: born in 1979 – so he is 38 this year.
BTW, he is married, and he and his wife had a child in 2013, so … **he has a stake in the future**, he has a hostage to fortune, a son to *fight for*.
Karlsson is also relatively young – born in 1977, so just turning 40 this year.
Stop and think about that. Trump is 70.
These two men, in Sweden, belong to a cohort that was probably the first to be thoroughly propagandised. And.. it didn’t ‘stick’. There they are, calling a spade a spade. There they are, leading a party that proposes to *resist* the jihad, resist the Hijra, resist the Islamisation of Sweden.
And they’re getting votes, significant numbers of votes.
My advice to any Swedish jihadwatchers, posting or lurking? – it looks to me like the Swedish Democrats are your best bet.
Support them, promote them, join them, donate… **get behind them and PUSH**.
And you may save your country, yes, even now in the eleventh hour.
Angemon says
Had it been Hilary winning the Presidency (*knock on wood*) and making the exact same statements as Trump, she’d be praised for her political insight. Trump, on the other hand, got smear piece after smear piece, including ascribing him words he didn’t say.
Oliver says
Hillary would NEVER say anything like that. She wanted even more Muslims than Obama.
Would probably have started another war in the ME to get the refugees. Libya & Syria would not be enough for that bitch.
Just mt view
Kepha says
Shrillary Shroooooooooo would’ve wanted more Muslim hijra-ists out of an extreme guilt feelings over being born affluent and white.
RationalVoice says
Trump might consider himself a prophet as the riot came after his statement( I think) !
How things have changed ! Sweden used to be considered an example to Europe of good governance and tolerance but now they are an example of naivety and self destructive stupidity not to be followed at all by any other country
The Swedes themselves must rise up and rid themselves of their government blinded by a rigid doctrine which pays no heed to the realities of the world today. By democratic means if they have an election soon or by street protest if they have not.
Something which amused me today was the Austrian Chancellor having a go at companies like Starbucks not paying appropriate levels of taxation .He said it was not good for “social cohesiveness” that these companies paid less tax than small businesses in Austria . This puzzled me as Austria can set whatever taxes they like and if there are loopholes (as in Britain) they have the power to block them up.
Instead of shedding “crocodile tears” for this’ why doesn’t he address the real present and future cause of “social incohesiveness” ie the huge number of undocumented Muslim incomers now and still coming into his country and even more which he allowed to cross his country into Germany.
Its like a disease of naïve over – tolerance which has swept Europe ! Same solution applies as for Netherlands, France, Germany and Sweden. Kick the government out !!!
History tends to repeat itself and the cultural “incohesiveness” of Austria was one of the themes which motivated Hitler in his book Mein Kampf and facilitated the annexation of Austria by NAZI Germany
Now I am not suggesting they should go down that road again but totally incompatible religions of a violent nature and world dominating ambitions like Islam should have no place in the free world of today.
Kepha says
Min mors mors bestemor pleide å si at en svenske var noe annet enn et norsk med hjernen slått ut.
Mama’s maternal grandma (a homesteader who came over from the Fjords) used to say that a Swede was nothing but a Norwegian with the brains knocked out.
Then again, when it ccomes to avoiding suicidal stupidity, are the Norskers all that better than their neighbors?
