Firstly this guy is a complete moron, just like anyone else who follows billionaire ex playboy, Osama Bin Laden.
Someone shuould ask how the hell this imbecile got Swedish citizenship, if he is a johadist nutjob, out to overthrow democracy and replace it with a religeous dictatorship.
Sweden needs to remove his citizenship and stop insulting itself by allowing him to claim he is Swedish.
Hope the below video (English) will clarify your lots of misconceptions.

I hope they lock this "big mouth" up in a US prison so that the other inmates can beat the crap out of him every day!
I just hope that Sweden doesn't rush over to his aid and bring him over here so that he can serve his sentence at a country club for inmates.
as Said by Zakir Naik a historical fact " After World War 2 from 1941 to 1948 in span of 8 years 259 terrorist acts were conducted by jewish terrorists by many organizations *ibnun, hagna, stungang" and we know the famou bombing of king david hotel which took place in 22nd july 1946 they were conduted by Ibnun under the leadership of Menachem Begin. And at that time Menahem Begun was called number 1 terrorist by British government . Later on he become the prime minister of Israel and later on he got NOBLE PRIZE for peace"..
heheeheh Sounds funny but reality..

Rather, it looks extremely difficult to initiate any such diplomatic move for Sweden.
Huge beard = needs locking up. Fact.
As I said earlier " Terrorism is an act of Crime for Humanity" No body denies that . We condemn any act of terrorism no matter if they are done by individuals or by Governments. I Just want to highlight the problem and misconceptions the terrorism on ISLAM.
Being student of comperative religion, i can say that no religion ask terrorism .Islam goes further more as said in Quran " If a person killed an innocent human being it is like killing of whole of humanity" similar " if he save a single life it is like saving whole of humanity"
But when we analyze we see terrorists claiming certain religion , they are wrong almost every religion condemn terrorism.
for example: Who killed most of the people last century "Hitler" he was Christian But we cannot say Christian is a terrorist Religion . This attitude is wrong at all.

KILLIING is something called crime, and "as i know" even killing (an animal) not just human without a swerious reason (self defence) is a crime and forbidden in ISLAM and other religions BUT some people do it coz some reason in thier MINDS not else ( Hitler, Bush , bin Laden...etc.) should we take Bush someday into court and ask him why did he killed too many people in IRAQ and Afganistan, and many American soldiers, for a lie as the Pentagon said (WMD weap.of MassDes) was the biggest lie in America's history. we should coexist otherwise, it will be a (forest)
Therefore, He is fanatic muslim, made brian wash by Islamic Terrorist group. The news agencies dont have the right to write that he is Swedish or Lebanese, even if he hold both passports... they should say, what is his origin.. and not to make the news more hot by adding 2 countires names...
He went to Sweden in 1984 and soon got Swedish citizinship... A muder got Swedish citizinship, Only God knows how many person he has killed during the civil war.
The cause of lebanese war, they were the Palastinians.
Many Palastinians in Sweden working for terrorist groups around the world.
Jihad is 100% opposite to Terrorism
It is all political drama, made by US power of Media, and there are many people who in reality became part of this drama afterward. Don't forget biggest drama of history (9/11).
Now if we talk about Swede people they are most beautiful people in world in term of humanity and peace I am not Swede but come on take a look on there history for giving homes to refugees they are so sweet people how could somebody think to say anything stupid about them.
In case of Ousama Kassir as I think it is totally a drama we don't have a single clue what goes behind screens.
So come on people don't be ridiculous to become part of this drama and start loving each other, instead of watching screen and believing it go out and meet people.
NOW what can you say ill bring to you other names from Christianity and other religion ( with references). BUT Notice that im NOT talking about Christianity or other religions I RESPECT all, who believe in God, and his prophets, coz i believe,
For Palestine: Imagine you have a friend who have been kicked out and asked your favour for living , you give him space in your house later on, He kicked YOU OUT and when you CRY and Protest for your House back . YOU WILL BE CALLED TERRORIST !!! .

Well since you asked, yes please, we'd love you to do just that. Thanks.
Yes they did.
"In the New York trial, the indictment said Kassir taught techniques for waging jihad, including "how to kill a person by slitting their throat with a knife and how to fight with a knife in hand-to-hand combat."
Islam. The religion of peace.
.sigh.
.
"Mercedes is a good car right ? if suppose you are the bad Driver and you BANG the mercedez car to Wall, Would the charges lies against YOU or against Mercedez " .
Same like above.
Islam is the Religion of peace , and it has the black sheeps like every religion has . we all accept that.
Like we cannot condemn Christianity because of Hitler or Jews due to Israelis occupation , Same we cannot generalize and condemn any religion due to their follower's act.
Islam is not what Muslims do , Islam is what Muslims Supposed to DO..
in last , I think you agree with me , Media is not allways right ..? Media most of the time conveys the vasted interests of either politics or of the state.
Hope now i made it very clear ..

I am just giving here 2 examples , there are several but the length of comment is only 1,000 letters
1) When did the europe give the right of Vote to women ? in 1950s.. read history .. When did Islam gives right of Women to vote ? 1400 years ago
2) In Dark ages of Europe, Christians used to Burn Women , Dont you read the history ? and called them Bitches/Witches.. Dont they ? It is Islam which gives Light to Europe at that time from Spain/Undloos
3) .. several others.. facts may be i shd write it some where as comment box dont allow me in length.
I allways love to listen critics against islam So that we can have a peaceful dialogue.. and i can clearify several misconceptions.
Peace be on you my Friend

we live in a world that is completely falling apart and religion is the prime suspect next to tv induced identity crisis and pop culture fed violence. im done with being tolerant, i protested the iraq war for 5 years till i came over here and got a taste of real islam, now i hate to say that they themselves have turned me against them. afterall a true antifascist could never ever have anything kind to say about such scum.
[attachment=184:motivato...c193e0bf.jpg]
*oh well!*
I think we all agree on below no matter where we come from and on what are our believes . Christian, Hindus, Muslim, Jews, Atheist etc etc.
We all beleive that :
1) We have a right to live in peace
2) Terrorsism activities should be condemn and stopped at all levels .
3) Dont judge people through Media .
4) Being kind with every one and create a harmony society .
5) Obviously not all persons are saint in that case control the bad people with iron hands
you can add more my friend

While I firmly believe people have the right to live as they wish, to do as they wish, I also believe people do not have the right to violate the rights of others. Clearly if there are people who can't respect the rights of others perhaps thats the result of a mental condition.
what was sweden doing when that creature was growing his beard and practicing his terror thoughts?
I am muslim but such creatures are really disgusting. They don`t deserve the bliss of being a human being.
uh puhleeeze.
Maybe the real criminals are the idiot politicians that formulated these immigration policies.
The flavor of the week or rather last 7 years has been Middle-Eastern terrorists (left religion outta that one didn't I?). This article is sensationalist propaganda aimed at infusing racism to the Arabic communities in Sweden. Hey even I don't want the asylum seekers here bleeding the system and causing crime, I just tell it how it is, and that is what this article does (see conversations above).
Furthermore, why do people think the US went to Iraq for Oil? 7 years later and that one still blows my mind. Oil is a commodity traded on the open market. It wouldn't magically become cheaper for Americans. Do you think we walk into 7/11 and get a free oil drum when we buy a coke?
As a Swedish-American, I say the same for America. Ethnic and civlizational interests and society should count here too.
About the Iraq war, read American scholars Mearsheimer and Walt and select websites. It was not about oil, but other kinds of special interests. The oil angle is just a diversion or the fantasy of leftists.

Who cares what nationality this bloke is.......he is a man intent on crime!
On all these points on who,s a terrorist, who,s not etc is all dependent on individual perspective. If I were Iraqi/Afghan and lost my family to US bombs.....I,m sure I could be capable of blowing yanks up! I,m a Brit but recognise that the crimes we did in Ireland to supress them....led to the IRA....We ruled the whole island for long time.....but they fought for sovreignty and freedom.....Terrorists??? Jews took Palesitne and suppresses and kills them in droves.....Palestinians fight back......Terrorists??? Violence against people have repocussions. It,s not black and white
Killing civvies is never "acceptable", but it happens - its war.
The problem is when civvies are specifically targeted. Thats bad.
Hiroshima,s American atom bombing of civilians caused horror and awe at the level of mankinds terror abilities.....but was not a solution for ongoing peace. We must find cultural understanding and respect for that!
Conversely, if you were a Jew and lost a loved one to a rocket launched into your living room, during a cease fire, you may feel the same way.
America acts: mind your own business!
America doesn't act: why aren't you doing anything?!
America sends millions in aid: you're not doing enough!
America sends billions in aid: we owe you nothing for it!
Come to think of it, I don't recall Sweden expending several billions of its treasure when the tsunami wrecked so much of India, Sri Lanka, and related areas. Nor for that matter did Al Qaeda.
America just wants to be left alone. And we give so much in aid to everyone all over the world.
Seeing the entire world in The Great Recession, I really hope that everyone can sit back and really see just how important of a country we are to EVERYONE. We hold the world up and you call us arrogant. We flourish and the world flourish's, we screwed up and now the world has been brought to its knees.
As for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, where is the sympathy for Pearl Harbor? We did not start that war, but we damn sure finished it. Japan has since moved on and prospered quite well. Germany and Japan have been two of the most prosperous countries since. And for the record, they only had a vague idea of what that bomb would do, but nobody really knew it would have such a lingering effect. It could also be argued that millions more would have died, because the war would have dragged on instead of ending right than and there.
If America killed civilians without batting an eye, than The Iraq War would have began in March 2003 and ended in March 2003. American casualties would have only been those lost on September 11, 2001. As I have friends in Afghanistan and Iraq, I personally cannot wait for them to get stateside again. Than the world can watch as sectarian violence emerges again and they crumble. Blood will flow through the streets, and what will you say than? America should have stayed? Maybe Sweden will get dumped with a few hundred thousand more refugee's.
