UPDATE: Swedish authorities deny that this is the case.

It isn’t hard to see where this is tending. Imagine Sweden in five or ten years. Imagine it in fifty. Goodbye, Sweden.
“Sweden cancels traditional Christmas concert and increases promotions for Islamic events,” Voice of Europe, October 14, 2018:
Sweden’s, and perhaps the world’s largest outdoor Christmas concert “Oh Holy Night”, which traditionally airs on Swedish national TV on Christmas Eve each year, has been cancelled, SVT news reports.
This is most likely yet another example of Swedish traditions being suppressed in order not to offend migrants who don’t hold Christian beliefs.
Earlier incidents include:
Replacing Lucia, who according to the ancient Swedish Pagan Yule tradition always has been a long haired, blonde, beautiful woman, with a black boy.
Putting a woman in a hijab on the annual Advent/Christmas calendar.
Cancelling the traditional student choirs’ appearance on TV at Valborg (Swedish Pagan spring celebration).
Principals forbidding students to wave the Swedish flag on graduation day.
Prayer for diversity at National Day celebration events.
Left-wing Swedes promoting the idea that Sweden’s National Day should not be celebrated, on TV and in national papers.
At the same time Muslim culture and traditions are intensely promoted:
On Midsummer’s Day (Sweden’s most important and traditional holiday) TV4 decided to let a woman in a hijab teach the Swedes how to cook kebab properly.
Ramadan is celebrated with public events in several Swedish cities as well as on TV.
Authorities are allowing Islamic call to prayer (at 110 dB), and at the same time forbidding Christian churches to ring their bells….

That’s so disgusting. Most of Europe will soon follow. Thank God for Italy ?? and Hungary ?? who is taking a hard stance against these muslins who do not want to assimilate but only want to dominate.
gerald zavage says
…and Poland.
cliff says
God will hold these people accountable ! Both sides.
JC says
Keep waiting for God endlessly unless u guys stands on your own.
Yvonne says
Do you know I fell down to their wishes that just gives them more power over you. You should continue with your traditional Christmas concert. Why are you giving into them that is your country not theirs they need to adjust to your way of life not you to adjust to their way of life.
Save Europe says
Ironies of ironies! I met the only sane Swede – who admitted that her country, their politicians, their mindset, etc were batsh*t crazy, earlier tonight.
Sadly – a rarity.

Glad there are some patriotic Swedes, Save Europe.
Frederick King says
Hard to believe . Liberal Suicide. Hard to believe any group , like these muslims, do not assimilate and be thankful.
Larry says
Sweden, I pitty your people, your government are ignorant fools. Islam is a religion of hate and you need to get rid of these corrupt officials. Take the time to read the koran. If you are female, know it well as you have the most to lose. I hope it’s not to late in America. Obama literally destroyed this country.
Grace Alexander says
Not only is Islam a religion of hate, but it is a form of government.
JM says
Agreed. Poland and Italy are also making a stand against Islamisation.
The rest of Europe appears to be lost in a multicultural dream. It will not end well.
BC says
Do they really think this will make the Muslim ‘like’ them more, how insane can they be? The Muslim swill just see it as appeasement and bowing to their Islam.
Noel Anderson says
Kick the evil heathen savages out …..Why , why do you stupid people listen to these backward thinking barbaric islamics……Look at the history of these savages ..It’s all death and destruction …..The religion of peace, not in a thousand life times…..I say again, look at thire history…..
The Remorseless Headsman says
We look at this and shake our heads in disbelief that a country would so willingly surrender their culture and sovereignty to these animals. Don’t be so surprised as we are doing the same in the name of political correctness, “tolerance” and “diversity”. Remember the impending loss of Europe when you get to the polls on November 6th. Yes, it CAN happen here but only if we allow it.
mortimer says
SWEDICIDE !!!
Andy says
Shameful act of cowardice,
Shame on you Sweden to turn your back on your Culture, Heritage and Traditions!
You are traitors to the Judeo-Christian Truths that for centuries have survived with the loving kind message of Jesus Christ and God’s Love for humanity.
Why are you not promoting your Judeo-Christian ways of life and telling moslems to integrate or leave the country?
Matthew 10:33 English Standard Version (ESV)
33 but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
Kbb says
No Christmas! Then no Ramadan or any other Islamic observance.
Mo church bell chimes, then no call to worship.
Replacement of Christianity with Islamis nothing short of invasion and conquer. RISE UP AND TAKE YOUR COUNTRY AMD FUTURES BACK. Your children and future generations deserve it.
dan christenen says
Gunnar Sandelin is a Swedish coauthor of the book “Immigration and cover-up”:
55,3 pct. of the 15-44 years old males in Malmö (third largest in S) have foreign background, in Stockholm 43,4 pct, in Gothenburg (second largest in S) 44,2 pct. and in a major provincial city, Södertälje 65,5 pct.
The game is over. A non-ethnical Swedish majority will in all likelihood become a reality in around 30 years; if nothing is done about it.
Some sceptics believe that civil war between indigenous peoples and muslims breaks out at 16 pct. muslims in a country.
In Sweden it has broken out as low intensity warfare – car burning, rapes, violent assaults, shop lifting, refusal to pay for public transportation and attacks on firemen, postmen, garbage collectors etc..
Mac-101 says
The only really important statistic is the under 30 year old statistic. The thugs only need much less than 25% to completely terrorize ALL the native population and dominate!
Terry Gain says
And, as in Britain, they need only to be about 5% in order to hold the balance of political power and with it the ability to direct public policy.
Mac-101 says
Unfortunately so!
Michael Copeland says
No need for any Act of Parliament.
Sharia will be inflicted by the traditional method – thuggery.

Walter Sieruk says
As part of the main /top article informs the reader of this site “Sweden cancels traditional Christmas concert and increases promotion of Islamic events.”
The appeasement by the Swedes to forces the intimation of Islam will only be seen by Muslims as not only the weakness of the Swedes but also the weakness of Western civilization .
Therefore as with any bully the Muslim in Sweden will only grow in their boldness and arrogant contempt not just for the nation of Sweden but also for all Westerners and the whole of Western civilization.
This further shows the Muslim ideology of Islamic superiority of Islam over the West. This Islamic ideology rest of the foundation on Islamic theology, the theology of the religion of Islam .
Dr. Sabastian Gorka ,well, understands that the root cause of the ideology of Islamic terrorism which is Islam. For in his book which is entitled DEFEATING JIHAD explained about the jihadist –Muslims on page 132 which reads “The enemy’s center of gravity is ideology of holy war against the infidel…”
This is, of course, the ideology of Islam jihad [Islamic terrorism] in which the jihadists are in this war against us for the victory of Islam over us.
Benedict says
What assimilation? what integration? on part of the Muslims, that Sweden and majority of the EU are talking about? they are bending over backwards to appease the Muslim migrants and are forgetting their own culture, religion and traditions.
gerald zavage says
The global Leftist/Terrorist Coalition seeks to destroy Western Civilization (which is losing Sweden and other countries of the West to Islam — the greatest evil faced by humankind in its long march from the swamps to the stars)
Lillibet says
I am glad that I am old. I hope I don’t live long enough to see nations fall to Islam. At the same time I pray that I will live long enough to see Europe and North America recover the strength to prevent any falling to islam. May all find the real peace and salvation our ancestors bequeathed to us in true faith.

The Globalist-Leftist-islamist axis at work.
Destroy Nationhood and national identity through social engineering and mass-immigration policies and create a superstate that makes it easier to manipulate and control the sheeple.Replace our Judeo-Christian religious heritage with the tyranny of islam and undermine secularism with the neo-communism of the morally bankrupt lefty liberals and wealthy “philanthropists”.
The UN,the IMF,the Bilderbergers,the Soros Empire,the Coudenhove-kalergi people[Merkel,Juncker},the political vatican and pro-NWO “pope”,the Totalitarian Left aiding the islamists…..the great NWO project continues!
Plans can go terribly wrong though:many times in world history,the political and economic puppeteers got more than they bargained for,usually when the elites decided to initiate a major war{there is nothing like a major war to cull the masses and distract the blind sheeple from the fact that they are being ripped off by the elite}.The powers that be, didn’t seem to realize how catastrophic WW1 would turn out and in WW2 the nazis were sure they would defeat the bolsheviks and rule the world.In times of economic or political crisis
the puppet masters may choose to start a war or finance a false messiah to lead the sheeple astray,often with the help of agent-provacateurs.
The NWO elites probably don’t care:but wars often go very wrong and bring down the very totalitarians who start them.There were two major world wars in the last century and both started in Europe.
It would not take much for the Globalists to start WW3,most likely if that saber-rattling armed wing of the NWO,NATO,decide to pick a fight with Russia.
StellaSaidSo says
The elites love war because they make obscene profits from it. They can’t wait to start the next one.

Sweden has fostered one of the best tenors ever, Jussi Björling, who sang “O holy night” like no one else has. Unsurpassable beauty.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofKk_Etapq4
This is the song’s message… which they have now cancelled:
O holy night! the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope – the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees!
O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the Wise Men from Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our Friend.
He knows our need– to our weakness is no stranger.
Behold your King, before him lowly bend!
Behold your King, before him lowly bend!
Truly he taught us to love one another;
His law is love and his gospel is peace.
Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother,
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we;
Let all within us praise his holy name.
Christ is the Lord! O praise his name forever!
His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim!
Andy says
Thank you Jean!
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ Forever
He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
AMEN
Lydia Church says
Amen!
Beautiful, it is my favorite Christmas song too.

R.I.P. Sweden. When that flag is changed, it will just be the final confirmation of cultural death. For this is it, as they say. A lot of time and effort nullified by complete historical and cultural amnesia. Only the overdue Ice Age can bring back the survival instincts it seems. But that will be too late of course.
Lydia Church says
Sweden is already over if it does all of that.
They wanted this, those behind the scenes. It gave them a ‘reason’ to get rid of Christianity in the culture, using migrants as the excuse. Of course it is not a reason, because there is none. If migrants are offended… TOO BAD! GO BACK HOME! Do they remove crescents for us Christians if we go to muslim countries or already live there? Obviously not. But this is what they want for the whole world. The world leaders (most of them) have sold out. And persecution against Christians is growing all over the world. It will get worse and cover the globe, it will be a time of holocaust against Christianity and Christians. I’m only repeating what the Bible itself says, those who read it know.
I say: Ring the church bells even louder then the mosque calls to prayer!
Publicly promote Christianity and refuse to have anything to do with the promotion of islam!
If you don’t have the moxy to do it now, you will be killed for doing it later.
Which I’m not afraid of, like I said often, I’ll be first in line to die for Jesus!
But never retreat, just the opposite!
Revelation 17; 12:
“The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.”
Plain English: ten world leaders who rule under the antichrist for a short time (some number of years but not too long)

Kepha says
Kudos to the brave secularists who rid most of Europe of the “incubus” of Christianity. I hope they’re enjoying the slow-motion imposition of Islam.
Arthur says
I hope someone records the rise and fall of Sweden. Something with full color pictures and recipes and artwork and what the people looked like. Once it turns into a barren wasteland, it will be hard to believe it was ever anything but that. And Islam does its best to erase all history before it. A book to record its onetime beauty and the consequences of the folly of its people.

No one outside of Sweden will notice the gradual, but definite steps toward Sharia. But one day the flag will be stripped of its cross, and everyone will notice and ask what happened. Then it will be too late.
brane pilot says
What is happening in Sweden is identical to what happened in 1978 in Guyana in an event called the Jonestown Massacre. 900 people were ordered to drink poison in a bizarre religion-inspired mass suicide by a religious fanatic named Jim Jones..
Those few who refused to drink poison kool-aid were shot.
That is Sweden today.
For some reason, Swedish leadership and their media allies have decided that the Swedish people and culture do not deserve to live.
As was the case in 1978, people still do not understand why.

IDIOTS!!
Frank Norton says
All signs of a false religon and a group to in slave its followers. America fought off the British state religon by defeating the British Red Coats on American soil. An armed population is a free population. Most Americans have learned its lesson and no longer follow any religion. … but the 10 Commandments
Berengaria says
After Approx. 25Years of PRO-UN Presidents, North America has been blanketed by unwritten Quotas of Muslim Invaders. The Bush/Clinton/Obama Regime joyfully signed on to the UN Global Compact For Migration. Pope Francis strolled,hand in hand, with his New BF, Obama, to the UN, where both Sneakily betrayed People of European Ancestry, to the
Savages of Islam.
Swede Government has fallen first, but if the Pro-Islam DEMS of America grasp Power, North America will follow Sweden, UK, Canada, France, etc.
The Globalists, with the Soros Crime Syndicate, will be the only Winners!
J.W.K. says
Big surprise. The left, untwisted wingnuts of every country won’t be happy or even satisfied until Christianity is gone and satanic Islam and who knows what else is put in as a “religion.” Rewriting history is the first step, and replacing holidays with artificial GARBAGE smacks of Chinese style COMMUNISM. The world has gone NUTS!!!

How very sad that the very ESSENCE of Christmas cannot be acknowledged on HIS birthday. I’m certain that Jesus loves you and will support anything you can do to turn this around. I’ll be praying for your entire country – that it finds ways to recognize Jesus during this important time of the year. However, NOTHING nor ANYBODY can keep you from celebrating Him inside yourselves. YOU know what Christmas is all about.
