At the same time, Sweden is going to continue to bring in more Muslim migrants, among whom will be an unknowable number of jihadis. So how can the King guarantee that Sweden will continue to be safe and peaceful? He can’t. He is just whistling in the dark.
“The Latest: King: Sweden is still be [sic] safe, peaceful country,” Associated Press, April 8, 2017 (thanks to Darcy):
Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf says the number of people willing to help after the deadly truck attack in Stockholm is “many, many more than those who wish us harm.”
Carl Gustaf says the Scandinavian country has been “shaken by what happened,” adding that the “concern people show each other demonstrates the power of our society.”
The 70-year-old monarch says “Sweden is, has long been, and will continue to be a safe and peaceful country.”…

StacyGirl says
Like hell. All that’s missing are large Orwellian screens blaring the message of peace and safety.
mortimer says
Agree with Stacy: This is Orwellian, but King Carl Gustaf is reading his lines written by the government.
The lines show that the government STILL doesn’t understand that the JIHAD DOCTRINE is NORMATIVE ISLAM, rather than an aberration.
Rita says
mortimer dont give that naked king the idea to use the Nürnberg Defence ! He and his ilk deserve the guillotine!
And I agree with you that the Jihad Doctrine is normative Islam – eg ISIS might be extremists, but they are not apostates !
roger woodhouse says
Mmm .If I recall correctly the British people also rallied together when their cities were being bombed during the war.We did eventually defeat the nazis though.what plan does Sweden have to defeat Islamic terrorism?
Bob says
None, it seems, bar surrender!
Terry says
Blame Israel and Bibi, specifically.
Then blame Jews, in general.
After all, it worked in Paris-didn’t it? (Swedish foreign minister, after the Friday night attacks, blamed Israel and P. M. Bibi N of Israel for the attacks). (THAT WAS AFTER ISIS TOOK CREDIT OR BLAME).
OffendedMan says
Breaking News: Aliens stole the King of Sweden’s brain yesterday….
Rita says
What brain ?
Jack K Warner says
Wrong…the Swedish King never had a brain, it was missing already when he was born, but of the simple reason,he was a Crown prince, to be a King in a future to come. The problem appear already from school start when the fact was revealed, the crown Prince was not able to write his name and still not do it. And the fact, the Swedish don’t understand the basic facts about Islam. A peacefull Islam don not exist.Different Fractions of Islam have always fights from the very beginning *2000* years and will do so to the end. It is a fact, the Swedish country have already been lost like a independent Christian country.
The only way to make it safe are to turn the country into a second Saudi Arabia with dictator rules and a strong King. The problem appear already here, the country have no strong King……
Lucia Bartoli says
I never knew the king lives in a cave.
Dan King says
He does not , he lives behind walls and armed security details. I would like him to take a walk thru one of his country’s no-go-zones without any guards and tell all the islamists that he his their king. Hope if he did, he has already has a crown prince to take his place.
Terry says
The king, like Charles in Britain ( they are probably related) live in a Disney created place FANTASY LAND.
The king, like the liberturds everywhere, have body guards, and live in gated, secure communities. Not like the common people.

How many attacks will it take before the leaders of Sweden finally get a clue

Wellington says
“How many attacks will it take before the leaders of Sweden finally get a clue.”
Unfortunately, I think many, many more———–and what is even sadder is perhaps never. Flawed ideology has a decided tendency to supersede valuable things like common sense, moral intelligence and even self-preservation. The Swedish King functions as a case in point. I mean the man is in compete denial mode (or in the alternative he does “get things” but refrains from speaking out, which would make him a coward of the first rank since his nation is presently dying).
Never underestimate the power of ideology, however flawed. Never. After all, just consider all the well educated Muslims out there, doctors, lawyers, businessmen, et al. who believe the rot which is Islam. Joseph Goebbels had a PhD and Karl Marx had a PhD as well and look at the extremely harmful crap he put out.
Education is no guarantee of wisdom. In our age this is even more the case. The Swedish King could arguably function as Exhibit #1 here, though he would have many, many “contenders” for this wonderful “honor.”
The Age of Nonsense marches on. Boy, does it ever. And freedom and other good things hang in the balance. Boy do they ever.
RationalVoice says
I heard from a Swede who tells me that the King is not respected at all in Sweden. In fact this is the first time I heard him say anything. He is probably too busy leading a life of luxury at the very heavily taxed Swedish public’s expense !!!

Demsci says
No, Wellington, never underestimate the strength and persistence of ideology. And yes, I too see that our “civilization” if you will, hangs in the balance.
But if “Ideology” is the problem, can’t one hope that ANOTHER ideology is the solution? Yes, the very antidote to Islam? Should we not be seeking desperately for the one ideology that has a chance to supersede Islam? With at our disposal the huge treasures of enlightenment and philosophy and yes, also science and the technological, not to mention archeological, truth finding, progress mankind is making?
I remember the time of Leonid Brezjnev and Jimmy Carter. In 1979, Carter was close to despair, indicating that Communism was so strong and winning, not every where, but substantially, and he, Carter, was n’t sure anymore if the West could stop it.
But eventually the West won and Communism largely collapsed and I could n’t believe our (Western) luck at the time.
Can it be that Islam somehow will collapse, just after it reaches it’s apogee with infiltrating the West? Can somehow, and I don;t know how, the superior Western culture endure once more?
roger woodhouse says
Yes of course the ‘west’will defeatIslam because itsa failed ideolofy just like communism was.Its getting a free ride at the moment and I have little faith in governmebt to stop it.The end of Islam or its being driven out will occur when and not before the yeomen of England realise they are under threat.There will be much blood shed unfortunately but that is what the NWO requires
Pong says
There is a big difference in attitude of so called “communists” and moslems. By the seventies very few people in communists countries believed in communist ideology. The situation was so bad that the citizens of those countries were not required to advance the ideology of communism, just not oppose it. In islam every moslem must participate in jihad one way or another. This pathetic little king is a traitor to his people and will convert to islam himself, if his position is threatened. We all know that Sweden is lost and her future is to become another of the moslem s..t hole of islamic hell. The king is not alone, many ordinary sweds think the same and vote accordingly. Many people just refuse to educate themselves in the nature of islam and don’t want to know about the danger of its ideology.
Michael says
Those are insightful comments, Pong, and pretty important differences between communism and Islam. Islam will not be easily defeated. And the outcome of all this is anything but assured.
Terry says
Roger– sometime (I don’t recall the year) but after 911 and (I THINK- BUT, AGAIN, NOT SURE) Ben Laden was killed- a top retired person from one of the government agencies ( either military or spying) was interviewed live.
He was asked what was (and is) the difference between the (old) USSR and the Islamists. (Now, this was when Bush 2 or Obama was President) .
the answer- the people in the USSR (in similar positions to his) WANTED A BETTER LIFE FOR THEMSELVES, THEIR CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. The disagreement was in the political and economic systems.
Muslims, on the other hand, want everyone to submit, and are willing to die, for their cause, as long as they take others -non-believers- with them. They (Muslims) could not care less about a better life for themselves or their children.
And now, truer than ever
Phil Copson says
We had “the antidote to Islam” – we just forgot that it needed one. For hundreds of years, Islam was contained by the superior military / industrial / technological etc etc strength of Western civilisation.
Our model was so patently superior that the countries of Africa and the Middle East, the Far East, Central and South America etc adopted Western systems of government, commerce, industrialisation, education, banking, transport,city planning, the whole shebang.
A simple spread-sheet would show country-by-country, which nations moved away from feudal/religious power structures and introduced democratic government, universal education, an age of consent, banned forced-marriage, brought in trial by jury, a health service etc etc.
Countries bought into the whole concept, and this was called “progress”.
Now, in parts of the world, they have twigged that the West is smaller and weaker than they thought, will no longer fight for it’s values or even to save itself, and that they can get the wealth and material benefits without bothering with all the Western touchy-feely stuff like “human rights”/”democracy” etc, and are therefore reverting to religious rule, territorial conquest and banditry.
Containment is the most important part, ideology comes second. If the West hasn’t got the will to halt immigration and deport those who intend to re-model our societies – whether they were born here or not – then we are lost. It is that simple.
Oliver says
read–a different JW post, COMMENTS BY “LISA” A CANADIAN.
In my view, she epitomizes what is wrong with the west.
She is part of the” why can’t we all just get along”.
Talking about Muslim “having to ‘pray” 4 times a day, AT SPECIFIC TIMES, I said Jews are SUPPOSED to pray three times a day, and -shortening the answer- do it privately.
She responded with some bs- that Jews are different, blah blah blah
Phil Copson says
The bit that gets me is “continue” to be a safe and peaceful country…….that really is two lies in one………when was the last time that Sweden was ever “safe and peaceful” ?

Dear Demsci, I know you have said this many times before.
But you are assuming that Muslims don’t abandon Islam because Western culture is not good enough to provide an alternative, and hence it is our fault that Muslims are murdering us.
But this is not the case–whatever problems we have in the West, they are *nothing* compared to the horrors of Islam.
Christianity is morally superior to Islam. Judaism is morally superior to Islam. Western secular society is morally superior to Islam.
Hinduism and Buddhism are morally superior to Islam. Almost any Infidel society is morally superior to Islam.
The fact is that most Muslims are not looking for something more good and decent to replace Islam–instead, they are looking to replace any Infidel creed–no matter how civilized–with the horror of Islam.
Should we seek to be better, more moral people, and to perfect our societies as much as we can? Of course we should, for ourselves. But I do not believe that this is a solution to the threat of Islam.
Wellington says
A superior ideology, Demsci, like that which the Founding Fathers of America nurtured and developed (with due thanks to the Mother Country here, England, even though America’s enemy temporarily), needs great people to insure its survival. Like a George Washington. Or an Abraham Lincoln. Or a Winston Churchill. Or a Ronald Reagan.
Minus great people great ideologies will not survive, and thus again proving Marx wrong, who saw inexorable socio-economic forces as the real movers of history. No they are not. Great people (bad people too———e.g., there would have been no WWII without Adolf and no Islam without Mohammed) are the ultimate “ingredient.” The human factor is key. One knows this or should know it. Many don’t.
gravenimage says
Andrew, I don’t believe we can rely on weather to save us from Islam.
There are quite a few parts of Dar-al-Islam that have harsh winters–eastern Turkey, parts of Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan–while many parts of the civilized world have moderate or even hot temperatures.
You are right about Muslims not being much good for planning–but they either expect the Infidels to take care of them, or they just suffer.
In Afghanistan, spring is known as “Jihad season” as many Muslims there after the snows don’t turn to agriculture and road repairs like civilized people, but rather to slaughtering each other.
Here’s one such article on the subject:
“It’s Spring in Afghanistan, Time for Taliban Fighting Season”
https://news.vice.com/article/its-spring-in-afghanistan-time-for-taliban-fighting-season
Can you imagine associating spring not with flowers and birdsong and light clothing, but with bloody terror attacks?

….I won’t be able to respond much in the near future, so I want to get this in before I enter treatment for my diagnosed mental disorder/ ‘psychosis’ in regards to Islam and western European/ Canadian leaders, American ‘progressives/ liberals’ who embrace all things Islamic, and all like-minded bureaucrats and their ilk. apparently I suffer from both ‘Islamophobia AND ‘moronophobia’….not sure how long the treatment will last/ they tell me it all depends on my progress, my efforts in getting better. But I hope to come out of it with a clean bill of mental health and thus a healthy respect for Islam, all Imams, the quaran, and Teresa May, the King of Sweden, Angela Merkel, Justin Trudeau, American liberals and all the others like them…wish me luck! ….maybe after treatment I can file a multi-million dollar lawsuit against anyone who opposes violence in the name of a political religion, which I’m told is the source of my mental disorders…and not the actual violence itself….

The Swedish monarch was stripped long ago of his constitutional powers. The Swedish Social Democrats made the mess.
If the King had the ability, it would be the time to fire the incompetent government and ask for a new election to replace them with a COMPETENT ANTI-JIHAD government.
Sweden should reinstitute the royal veto and the right of the crown to dismiss the government.

Stan Lee says
So much for Kings! Innocents suffer while Kings dither. From the lofty perch of a King, or any other type of royalty which is “above it all,” the formula for continued misery is to heed the words of a King, who is what he is really at the pleasure of the people.
And, “things are just as they should be,” or do I have it wrong? Of course, it is wrong. Kings are nice to have and pamper, but a wise government for the people and of the people had better get a grip upon Sweden’s importation of nothing but trouble, which is also the problem of the E.U.
What will be the fate of future Swedes? Or, does Sweden plan to avoid the reproducing of Swedish stock?

If European monarchs believe they will be able to keep their royalty when they are surrounded by these imported friends they are gravely mistaken. Eventually they will come for you Sir.

The only “royalty” in Europe that had been of any good to its people in todays Europe had been the Kind of Spain, Juan Carlos. Leveling the path to democracy and standing against the coup staged by General Tejero.
Demsci says
The King of Sweden utters meaningless words, because he ignores the elephant in the room, Islamic ideology. Many of us are sick and tired of such by now meaningless words as “we will never let terrorists win”.
But the step towards condemning the whole Islamic ideology simply seems too far for too many people, and so also for too many high-placed people, who follow the clues of a majority, at least one hopes so, in a democratic nation.
Hence my imagined compromise of declaring ISLAM not so much as bad or abnormal, but from an independent view quite popular among mankind, so for mankind quite normal, but a very LOW normal. To ascend from, especially for hundreds of millions of Muslims to ascend from.
And we can say with confidence that Islam is vague, multi-interpretable. Our own laws are much clearer and they are updatable in case of ambiguity, for a 1000 years Islam has not been updated, how CAN it be clear?
Declaring Islam as very vague, multi-interpretable gives the advantages of:
– We can say, ; Not all Muslims interpret Islam so detrimental to us, but hundreds of millions do. We can dispense with the discussionstopper that we “paint all Muslims with the same brush”.
– Since for choice of religion, in this case an irresponsibly vague Islam, one can be held accountable for, in Democratic Nations,
it now still becomes possible to discriminate Muslims on ground of their choice for Islam in a Democratic Nation, when it is clear that Islam is so unclear that hundreds of Millions of Muslims are at least partly hostile and dangerous to Democracy. And we can then dispense with the eternal excuse of Muslims that “every religion has violent extremists”.
But in this scenario we would have to give up our own conviction that Islam is CLEAR AND BAD at the same time. In order for the fence-sitters to give up the excuse that ISLAM is CLEAR AND INNOCENT, and that the jihadi’s are only fanatics, misunderstanding Islam.
Any way, that is how I view the situation with Islam and Democracy

Florida Jim says
You and your family may be next Mr. King. Muslim terrorist’ lurk near every mosque and every immigrant is a potential terrorist.
Peter says
The king suffers from PC/MC delusional fantasies. Islam is inherently predatory toward non-Muslims, so there will never be peace, peaceful co-existence, tolerance, “love and kindness” or any other form of positive mindset toward non-Muslims who are to subjugated, extirpated or forcibly converted. Believing that if one treats Muslims nicely, that Muslims will treat non-Muslims nicely when they are a majority (the very notion that Muslims should become a majority in Sweden is grotesque), as one Swedish minister exclaimed years ago, is also delusion fantasy. The longer Western political elites, leftists, and do gooders fail to see Islam for what it is (predatory, a declaration of war on mankind), the more people are going to be killed, threatened, raped, enslaved, terrorized, etc. The longer that takes, the more likely there will be a severe backlash, and not just of the populist kind.
