“’How to avoid attacks from Muslims: 1) Call Christmas “winter celebration” in order not to upset Muslims 2) If they still want to kill us: Add concrete blocks and other “Islam décor” to the square. How the hell did we get here?’ Micke69 asked.”
Well, it all started when you began electing Leftist governments.
“Christmas called ‘winter celebration’ in Swedish media and the Swedes are sick of it,” Voice of Europe, December 6, 2018:
Twitter has rebuked one of Sweden’s leading regional dailies, being accused of ‘political correctness gone too far’.
So Christmas is now called ‘winter celebration’ in Malmö? There you have it… Waiting to open my ‘winter presents’ lying under the ‘winter tree’
The offending published report was by Sydsvenskan, and described how Malmö is preparing for Christmas celebrations amidst the need for more security than in the past. They moved the celebration from Gustaf Adolf Square to larger Stortorget Square.
The newspaper chose to call it “winter celebration” instead of Christmas and it has not gone over with members of the Swedish public.
“So Christmas is now called ‘winter celebration’ in Malmö? There you have it”, user Nätsäkerhetsexpert tweeted. “Waiting to open my ‘winter presents’ lying under ‘winter tree’”, one user said sarcastically.
“Is this the first time a newspaper non-ironically uses the world ‘Winter Celebration’ for Christmas in a news piece?”, user Alexander TixE queried.
“Who wants to celebrate Scanian winter anyway? Dark, +3 degrees, wet snow and wind blowing at 13 metres per second”, one of the replies said.
Others pointed out the inequality of their political correctness: ”Will you replace Ramadan with ‘Starvation Celebration’ in order not to trigger Christians, or are only Muslims being violated?”
“How to avoid attacks from Muslims: 1) Call Christmas ‘winter celebration’ in order not to upset Muslims 2) If they still want to kill us: Add concrete blocks and other ‘Islam décor’ to the square. How the hell did we get here?” Micke69 asked….
bourghiba ghe'gne' afriga buana says
one day they will offer their wives then, is not it fair that only Swedish men fuck blonde women with blue eyes? then as most Muslims are pedophiles will they give them their children?
Benedict says
Habib,
Your English puts a premium on the readers ability to understand you, but I think you might be unto something very important: the Swedish feminists have castrated the Swedish men and turned them into cuckolds in the service of Islam. Such complementarity could possibly result in the abominable child-sacrifices to Allah you suggest.
gravenimage says
Benedict has said things like this before–that equal rights for women in the West means that it is “complementary” that Muslims hence abuse Western children.
But not only is this grotesque, it is also quite false. Muslims have been engaging in both pedophilia and the rape of Infidels for centuries now–this has nothing to do with the supposed sins of the West. Muslims are not raping Western children because of equal rights.
Benedict says
The real sins of the West – in contrast to the supposed sins – could very well provide opportune conditions for Islam and its appalling culture to flourish in our midst.
gravenimage says
Yes–like the unforgivable “sin” of Women and little girls in the West covering their faces lest they tempt men. Benedict has many times urged women to adopt the Burqa and Niqab–and to force it on small children.
Peggy says
Sure, blame the women. That’s what Muslims do. Everything that goes wrong is women’s fault.
gravenimage says
So true, Peggy.
Jayell says
Hello bourghiba ghe’gne’ afriga buana. I presume that you are a muslim, because of the disgustingly crude, illiterate, ignorant and puerile nature of your post. Benedict correctly describes the current appalling situation in Sweden, which is a den of thoroughly atrocious and destructively incompetent feminist fascism and which is apparently well-disposed towards the likes of yourself, no doubt because of some mutual primeval resonances in what passes for both your philosophies (sic). Since coetus (with or without any trappings of basic civility) seems to represent the zenith of your idea of human achievement, you will no doubt find sufficient suitable female biologuical equipment in Sweden to satisfy your repulsively basic sensibilites (consensually or otherwise) and it will no doubt be a matter of some pride to the likes of yourself that you would have played a part in reducing what was once a highly civilised and productive nation to the status of a human zoo.
Sobieski says
You presumed that “bourghiba ghe’gne’ afriga buana” is a defender of Muhammad’s ideals or a Muslim.
I don’t think so. I think he is being sarcastic out of the infuriating absurdity of leftist Swedes who are willing to hand over everyone and everything to appease Muslims. Notice how he acknowledged that Islam encourages pedophilia. He may be charged with blasphemy for that allegation in a Muslim -majority could country (or islamophobia in a western University)
gravenimage says
You may be right, Sobiesk.
J D S says
Hey people! Please discontinue the use of the word SWEDEN when referring to SWEDEISTAN. They are DONE! “Winter Celebration” ????? Only a Muslim nation would submit to Changing Christmas to anything other than Christmas
Now I do have a small problem with the birth if Jesus and a census being in wintertime……and I did say a SMALL problem.
Really no matter when we celebrate..It’s WHO we celebrate and HOW we celebrate.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
Clay says
The Swedes, being Scandinavians, must certainly have heard of celebrating the Winter Solstice.
gravenimage says
Of course they have. But the name of this festival was not changed at the urging of Swedish pagans.
Anjuli Pandavar says
Clearly, not everyone is paralysed with fear of being called “Islamophobic” or “racist”. Good! And all with sarcasm and humour, to boot (“There is no humour in Islam”). Is this a sign of an approaching tipping point?
Lu says
No, decidedly not a chance. It is just another symptom of this cancerous illness spreading throughout what once was called “The West”.
Tipping point is far, far away – but when the things truly “tip”, pandemonium ensues and all hell breaks loose.
Rufolino says
The tipping point people await ?
It isn’t going to happen, most of the population of Europe has little sense of patriotism or civil responsibility. These have been successfully eradicated in most of the young by spurious “political correctness”.
What WILL happen is the eventual, slow but steady emergence of guerrilla warfare, initiated mainly from the Right, which all European governments will call “attacks on freedom”, and do their best to suppress. Civilised existence will gradually descend into danger and chaos.
Wellington says
The Swedish flag which depicts the Christian cross must certainly offend mucho amounts of Muslims, especially considering the fact that Islam denies (in Sura 4 of the Koran) that Jesus was crucified at all. So when will mindless, spineless Swedish leftists decide that this has to go too?
There is no amount of idiocy and cravenness that Leftists will not stoop to in order to appease anyone considered non-Western, and most particularly the followers of the worst religion ever created by man. We are witnessing in our time the very possible destruction of Western Civilization from within. Of course, Leftists will cheer this in the name of diversity and too many non-Leftists will just meekly acquiesce even though they know how ridiculous matters have become. The Age of Nonsense continues. Damn shame it does but it does.
Wellington says
Oh, almost forgot, Merry Christmas to all (especially to Buttlims).

DHazard says
“Others pointed out the inequality of their political correctness: ”Will you replace Ramadan with ‘Starvation Celebration’ in order not to trigger Christians, or are only Muslims being violated?””
The answer everywhere is yes. And Muslims still think there is a unified group of people and nations who are out to get them.
For a lot of Muslims life is a contest, both on the individual and collective level. I’ve debated many Muslims who sincerely hold this position. This is why they jump to pointing fingers when confronted with the true “true” Islam. You know, but the Crusades, but bombing children, but Palestine, but Council of Nicea, but Sykes-Picot, but any number of things, as long as they never indict or reflect badly on Islam or Muhammad.
Wellington says
Agreed, DHazard. Muslims are superb at deflection, deflection being a major characteristic of people who adhere to a totalitarian ideology, be it Islam, Marxism, Nazism, et al.
Only truly free people can sincerely admit error. It’s one of the many great things about freedom and minds which embrace freedom. Of course, Islam is wretched in this regard as it is in so many other regards. Hence deflection by Muslims ad nauseam when confronted by the many dysfunctional and destructive aspects of their faith.
Emmie says
Ramadan should be renamed Night Gluttony Celebration. Apparently, muslims gain weight over Ramadan.
Michael Copeland says
Night-Feast Month
Benedict says
The Stockholm syndrome was bound to be invented in Sweden.
mortimer says
Swedish Leftists must realize that Muslims hate them too as well as the Christians that BOTH groups hate.
How does it feel to be a Swedish Leftist pretending to love Muslims when they ALL KNOW deep down that Muslims hate the Leftist infidels also?
The Leftists must know that Muslims hate ALL kafirs by now. Even they must have that fact rubbed in their faces by the CONCRETE BARRIERS against the TRUCK OF PEACE jihadists!!!
Abu Darda (a companion of Mohammed) said, ‘We SMILE at certain people (non-Muslims) while our hearts DESPISE THEM.’
Benedict says
That’s where the real unacknowledged(?) islamophobia linger: on the Left.
Elsebeth says
Ser the nit aware that it will be surrender inch by inch no matter how we try to apeace them.
Being a Scandinavian and a Christian I strongly disagree with this method.
We are Christians and it is our country. When we live in the Arab world we have to adjust do they not have to do the same.
Seems they have no problems accepting the ‘Kafirs welfare systems benefits’
Wake up!!!

Sweden: Christmas called “Winter Celebration” to avoid offending Muslims, security high to head off jihad massacres
……………….
If the Swedes are still having to set u security to head off Jihad massacres, then obviously calling this a “Winter celebration” is not enough to avoid “offending” ravening Muslims. Just Swedes not having mass converted to Islam is “offensive” to supremacist Muslims.
Martin Rodrigues says
This is absolutely weakness from Swedish system… this is to much tolerance behind the political parties…this is not acceptable, and there isn’t an excusable situation..means government should act without asking permission!!’or look back…

Yes–Karl Popper wrote:
“Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them…”

Elisha says
“Well, it all started when you began electing Leftist governments.”
It all started with the “Enlightenment” and the philosophical delusion of Darwinism, which gave us Socialism, of course.
Sow the wind …
gravenimage says
Elisha has said before that science is anti-Christian, and that those who believe in it deserve to be murdered by Muslims.
Wellington says
How did Darwinism give us socialism? I completely accept the evolution of our species over millions upon millions of years (and the evidence for it is voluminous) and yet I have only contempt for socialism and embrace capitalism as the only economic system that produces wealth.
Oh, btw, in pursuance of your erroneous theory, I feel compelled to mention that your chronology is terribly askew. Darwin published his Origin of Species in 1859 and yet Louis Blanc and Karl Marx socialism predate Darwin’s work by some ten years or more. Yeah, explain this DISCREPANCY if you will.
Rinso says
‘The evidence’ for evolution is not voluminous. It actually is non-existent… though I’m aware few know that. I appreciate many of your posts Wellington, however you really need to apply some of your critical thinking skills to this one. Just one question: What is the mechanism that brings about this claimed ‘evolution of our species’?
Wellington says
Not voluminous, Rinso?. What about absolute dating via radioactive dating? What about relative dating via stratigraphy? What about at least six species of Australopithecus dated between 5 and 1 million years ago? What about Homo habilis, dated with precision to some 2 million plus years ago? Homo erectus dated from 1.8 million to as recently as 300,000 years ago (thus overlapping with the earliest examples of Homo sapiens)? What about Neanderthal Man respecting which we have at least 80,000 pieces of evidence. Cro-Magnon Man? Et al.
And then are earlier examples of the Hominid family like Ardipithecus ramidus (4.4 million years ago), Orrorin tugenensis (6 million years ago) and even the intriguing (bet you don’t know why) Sahelanthropus tchadensis (some 7 million years ago). And never mind finds from the Miocene Epoch of the Tertiary Period of the Cenozoic Era.
Do you grasp or know any of what I have just written? If you do, how do you dispute it? If you don’t, then be careful posting about matters you have no knowledge of.
Your turn.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Wellington.
RobC says
Actually we now know epigenetics is causing adaptation based on environmental feedback. No longer is random change a valid theory. And if the feedback mechanism is already programmed into DNA, the question of how this was done becomes even more difficult to explain by random processes because there is no evidence that random change to DNA produces any beneficial changes or new genetic information. See book Evolution Revolution.
Keys says
Elisha,
Why is “science” antithetical to your Christian faith ? What is the basic reason in a sentence or two ?
Certainly, you do not believe all “scientific” discovery and seeking is “anti-Christian”.
Respectfully, you are obviously not like the conservative Amish who shun most all technology.
gravenimage says
Keys, of course most Christians do not reject science. Many scientists, in fact, have been devout Christians.
Pam Minnick says
I wonder what they plan on calling Easter? A spring celebration? I can’t undetstand why the crazy far left in countries that still stand a chance can’t see what’s going on in other countries that are over run by muslims. Why does it have to come down to them or someone very close to them to become a victim too Islam to wake them up? But nobody better say a word against Islam, these poor defenseless, ultra sensitive muslims feeling may get hurt. Worlds gone bat sh!t crazy.

Sadly, I’ve already heard Easter called “Spring celebration”.

Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
This kind of thing is happening here in North America. In Victoria, Canada (arguably, Canada’s most socialist city), “Victoria councillors look to reduce Christmas decorations, broaden diversity”
https://www.timescolonist.com/news/local/victoria-councillors-look-to-reduce-christmas-decorations-broaden-diversity-1.23522941
I’ve heard similar stories from Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, etc. And in each case it is a cabal of socialist, low ranking politicians that are behind it.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
correction: “… that is behind it.”
Renate says
Don’t forget Toronto. One year I was invited to an “End of Season Party”. I’ve never celebrated the end of any season, so I didn’t go to it. “End of Season Parties” are inspired by left-leaning city councillors in Toronto. I won’t even go to parties now even if they are called Christmas Parties because I know this year’s Christmas Party can become next year’s “End of Season Party” at the whim of city council.
Joe says
It happens at work as well. People wants “holiday” party rather than a “Christmas” party. We stayed with “Christmas” because it give the party a character. If others wanted a Hanukkah party for Jews or “Winter Solstice” party for atheists, they could have them. A “holiday” party is bereft of any flavor.
Renate says
I feel like I entered the Twilight Zone. I never even heard of an end of season party before in my life.
Then, one year, there was the wreath I got for a discount with “Winter Greetings” written on it. I have NEVER heard anyone in my whole life say to anyone else, “Winter Greetings!” So, I got paint at a craft store and painted “Merry Christmas” over it.

Guy Jones says
The pervasive use of euphemistic phraseology, in place of words reflecting original and truthful meaning, is a grim signpost on the road to totalitarianism. In this instance, what makes the situation even more tragic, is that the totalitarian ethos is entirely self-imposed, as an utterly emasculated, weak-willed and feckless response to Islamic cultural belligerence, bullying and subversiveness.
Guy Jones says
I suppose, in the spirit of Islam-appeasing euphemism, we can now refer to “Jihad” as “Aggressively enthusiastic Islamic proselytization?”
John says
They can take their winter celebration and stick it where the sun dont shine. Islam is a geopolitical system of government not a religion at all.

John Zellie says
It is not to late, to return all the moslims to the countries they originated,
and that should be done immediately and moslims should should not be allowed into any European or American country.
They should not be allowed in North or South America, Israel, or Asia. If they can not be returned, no more should be allowed in, and the remaining need to be cloistered as if they were in prison, so they can not be near Christians or Jews.
Moslims have always been and always will be our enemies, they need to be cloistered and eliminated, like a rattle snake, they will always be a danger to us.

The birth of Jsus took place in March, not December. The celebration was that of the Sun Godcelebrating the days of the year getting longer. The Christians adopted Constantine’s celebration day, as a day forChristians.
