If there is a remote possibility of terrorism to exist, why the terrorists would be worried with such a small country like Sweden with no militar relevance that it´s taking more refugees than anyone, and as a plus always showing disconformity to the Israel-Palestine affair?, come on, this is pure scaremongering propaganda.
Oh, yes, it´s because SD [/ironic], Austria and Netherlands had much more right wing support and nothing never happened, apart of both leaders being death in different circumstances.
Just like the last one did!!!!!!
Aii Yo!!!!! Security service framing these nice people
"Swedes" attending Pakistan terror camp
"It is too early to say what motivates these individuals"
...these folks have no common denominator, they do not fit a certain "profile". They come from all walks of life, they have different heights and they like different flavors of ice cream. its too early to figure out who they are. They are just "Swedes".
Arrest them! Provide the court with the evidence, put them in jail. If you are not sure who they are and have no evidence of what they do (I don't mean a woman's call from a telephone booth) just SHUT UP instead of accusation!!!
Funny how much he sounds like a Muslim terrorist, but I'll just have to take his word that he is an Atheist Swede and let him into Sweden and give him money from the government, so he can fly back and forth to Pakistan and meet with the other Swedes who go to camp in the caves.
The Lutheran's have a camp in Onamina, Minnesota, why do you figure NATO never hits them with a Hellfire Missile???? Must be Islamophobia.
They just want to repay the financial support given to them, and the kindnesses shown them, by the people of Sweden, by educating the primitives back home to start respecting women's rights, to demand education for girls and of course, to insist upon the big one they have learnt in the West, religious freedom.
One more thing...if anybody wants to see the Fairies at the end of my garden...they should be back sometime before Christmas.
what a great change after election. I was neaver ever expecting something like this from swedish people. Good start anyways towards a big destruction.
Cowardice is now a defence against the hatemongers of the left who will demonise you and/or take your employment away from you if you dare but murmur anything that contradicts their evil dogma.
Evil flourishes when good men do nothing, good Englishmen and good Swedes have no balls.
In the words of Douglas Adams.
"DON'T PANIC".
Swedes are proper fools ? do you deny this fact?
You don't need to go far all the way to the US, just ask your neighbors (In Norway) about what they think of Swedes :) ?

Thats what certain morons who follow a pedo prophet (remember Aisha) believe in, and last I checked Sweden occupies a space in this world.
It was just a matter of time, we have all seen the troubles in Denmark, France, UK and US... How in the world could you be so naive to think that that cancer was not going to come into peaceful little Sweden?
They have never hid the fact that people who don't believe as them are "infidels", and the very book that is the base of their religion says to kill the infidels - seriously, which part of that is so hard to understand?
I have been saying this for years, WAKE THE F UP SWEDEN.
This is my adopted country and I would hate to see it fall to the cancer...
I have few interesting comparison for thelocal.se sweden vs pakistan comparisons
(1) The most notable behind the scene pakistani operation is bringing down the soviet invasion in afghanistan
(2)pakistan army has won feather in its hat for the most shortest and professionally handeld insurgency in world with minimum collateral damage ,i.e Waziristan ,Swat just goto janes.com and time.com
so in short leave it to pakistanis /americans ............lol
they are capable of eradicating the menace of terrorism
next week it's "Swedes attending Pakistan terror camp"
Moderate Muslimes please stand up and make your selves heard. Protest the muslim hard line insanity.
Only thing you are wrong is Swedish government had been spending notes(instead of taking notes) bailing them out from these nono lands.
@Remember Aisha
Glad that you remember that this country adopted you but if the whole world belongs to Allah
I wonder who adopt who?
@Marco2010S
It takes a bigger fool to stay in a country full of proper fools....So go home to your country.
Perhaps you misunderstood me.
I meant the crazies think the whole world belongs to Allah, personally if the the "prophet Muhammad" came into my house with "Allah" I would boot both of them out ASAP as I wouldnt tolerate a pedophile in my house along with his master - who encourages slaying of everyone who does no believe in him, has no problem with pedophilia, thinks women should be treated as second class citizens etc(the list is almost endless).
Sweden accepted me, and I accept Sweden - which also means defending her from the harm the crazies want to inflict on her.
Does anyone see this double speak and standards? How can this sort of democracy be a legitimate form of governance? When in Sweden or any other country the state police or security forces; on a whim, tazer people, arrest them for peaceful demonstration, beat them, detain without representation and or set up cameras to spy, intimidate or fine to raise capital through legalised extortion or under pretence of security; will a Swede who doesn't wish to comply be branded a terrorist, or someone exercising a right to not consent to governance he/ she finds unethical, immoral or unjust.
Who are the terrorists? I will avoid expanding upon state, corporate or banking based support, training or use of such tactics. Research or soak up mind bending media disinformation, malformation or pre-emptive programming for surreptitiously planned actions. But it is interesting to note that drone attacks, use of depleted uranium in Iraq and countless criminal acts on foreign sovereign soil appear to be considered acceptable by some (especially in government/ elite circles). Who is terrorising who and for what purpose? How many peoples must be vilified? What people or organisations benefit from a constant state of war and fear?
Consider the cause effect: Richstag burns = marshal law, supposed Polish murder of German border troops = Nazi's invade. US removes its best ships from Pearl Harbour just prior to bombing = US in WW2. False flag Bay of Tonkin = US Vietnam. NY two towers = patriot act. London tube bombings = terrorist laws, etc. Madrid, Atocha = war escalation, rights reduction etc. Other examples exist. In almost all cases, whether false flag or "genuine" terror attacks; in essence it favours a move to state oppression through fear/ security. (Terrorism: The systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion: Drone attacks, abduction and torture of people without legal representation). Who is the freedom fighter and who is the terrorist?
"It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.
A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes".

Ask yourself why you are not taught this in school or university?
I have a feeling that you don't know 1% about Islam.you are saying what you hear from the Western media which is controlled by Zionists and Freemasons.You exactly follow that media.
I am saying this because teaching of Islam is totally opposite what you know.
People need to understand these terrorists are among you and me. Filtering them takes some harsh methods. but in the end its for ur good.
@Viva Melita: your the one that's gutless, hiding behind your girly title, come & play rugby with us & we'll show you who's got no balls.
Marxist England?? I think you've got your geography wrong or you've been brainwashed.
I don't care what some muslims preach I care about what they practice honor killings, stoning gays, oppressing women, hatred of other religions, rape. Nobody with brains are buying your lies anymore. Islam needs to be eradicated.
Did you pen that after coming out with Gareth Thomas?.Steroid bloated Rugby players do not frighten me unless they come from behind of course.
One starts to think that what on earth could be its purpose? I mean that the state security apparatus comes public with this.. meter. Hi guys, were at 3 now, and that means you should be afraid. Since 5 is the top of the scale. So be very afraid. Attaboy.
There was some guy from defense - looking very depressed, one may also mention - on TV as well, trying to say something along the lines that he does not like this at all. Wonder why :)
What interest is Sweden to the Zionist ? It is Muslim propaganda to fool people in the west by stating Islam is a religion of peace etc. Islam is the only religion that I have come across in which it is perfectly acceptable to lie and deceive people. According to the Quran, Allah is the greatest of all deceivers .. Muslims should not take non Muslims as friends over Muslims unless it is for security.
The Muslim propaganda is simple, get the sympathy of countries like Sweden on humanitarian grounds so that they allow more refugees. These in turn become a virus that destroys the host itself.
you uneducated dumb @ss this article CLEARLY said
The CIA has recently carried out a series of attacks with so-called unmanned drones against militant Islamists in Northern Waziristan in Pakistan. Several international media have connected the attacks with warnings over planned terrorist attacks in Europe which became known earlier in the week.
clearly the CIA said NOTHING about Sweden being terrorists like i said before on another post to another idiot.. you need to do some research on American/Swedish relations moron..better yet just look around Sweden..notice ALL of the American Company's?
America is the 3rd largest exporter in Sweden..all of this means we are on your side stupid! and Sweden is on our side! stupid..the last thing America wants is to ruin ties with Sweden..and trust me.. Sweden needs America
you should stop reading the SD hand outs and read real news and real books..
Well put, I think people all over the west are beginning to see these people for what they really are and their true intentions. I too have wondered if this won't result in a great war between the west and islam that would eventually result in the destruction of the muslim world. They might be making a huge mistake everyone knows muslims are no match. Islam cannot build great nations so it's only real power lies in it's ability to invade great nations internally like a parasite. But as more and more people everyday realise this fact I think some kind of drastic measure is inevitable.
I'm glad to see that people throughout the west are really beginning to get informed about the true nature of this religion / totalitarian political ideology I don't know where you live but I really hope that you try to open a diologue with as many people as possible about this. It seems that you have a good understanding about the threat islam poses and the more people's eyes you can open to the truth the better off we will all be.Take care
The Muslim propaganda is simple, get the sympathy of countries like Sweden on humanitarian grounds so that they allow more refugees. These in turn become a virus that destroys the host itself.
In a nutshell that is the question...will refugees save or kill Sweden? Sweden is betting that refugees will push their country forward. What they forgot was that country vs. country is a dynamic competition and other countries are going to kill Sweden economically now. Even if the refugees live peacefully in the apartments, what will they do, how will they push economic growth fourty years from now given that other countries will also be developing each year with a different strategy - train their own people.
I think you need to read real books, try tghis one.

As far as your allegations about Islam not being the religion of peace, well it depends on how you define peace. I can tell you one thing about it and that is the fact that Islam is not a passive religion to tell you to turn your other cheek when you get slapped on one side. Yes, it does demand you to stand up and fight when you face tyranny and suppression. It demands us to stand up for our values, our culture, political system and for men to defend their women. Having said that, it is as peaceful as it can get as long as you stay out of interfering in our business. So if you think you have every right to be violent to defend ourselves, well so does Islam authorize us to do so as well. You remain non violent and not poke around in our business and no genuine muslim will ever harm you.
As far as Muslim propaganda is concerned... what propaganda are you talking about anyway? How many genuinely free Muslim countries do you find anyway? Do you see any Islamic political order anywhere in the world? And if not then why? Is it the Muslims occupying America or Americans occupying Muslim land? Is it the Zionist illigitimate regime occupying Palestine or Palestine occupying Israel? Is it India occupying Kashmir or Kashmir occupying India? Is it the Iraqi women getting raped by US soldiers or the othert way around?
What kind of peace do you expect in these circumstances anyway? People are either fleeing their motherlands to get some peace from the occupying forces or they're fighting and dying under the tyranny and suppression that you dare not speak against. We Muslims who are here in Sweden want peace and respect thats all. It is also Islam that tells us to follow the rules and regulations of the foreign country you live in. We realize that this is not our home, but why dont you support us to get the occupation forces out of our homes?
I am a bit Confused as to why you would want me to read a book about Jesus and god..I am an Atheist so i have NO desire to read fictional books
secondly..i never once mentioned any christian reffrencecs in my post i made
what i did say was Sweden and America have both a millitary and economical relationship..there for the CIA has NO reason to claim that Sweden breeds terrorists...
you need us as much as we need you..well you need us more but who is keeping score..
so i will ignore that post you made to me because i think you meant to send it to someone else..
