REFLECTIONS OF A TWITTER VIRGIN…. »
"I confess to having been reluctant to embrace Twitter. But I confess myself a bit of a convert. The great TV critic Clive James once said about “Dallas”, “I came to mock but I stayed to pray”. I wouldn’t go that far, but I have found my first two weeks on Twitter (@hmapauljohnston) both fun and informative. It’s been..." READ »

Apparently islamic nationalist and communist defenders of nations arriving here thought that these people MAY be mere witnesses to the act and therefore private opinions about the origin of these men are not acceptable.
Poor little immigrants from the third world. Unjustifiably discriminated again. Look where we came to. An immigrant cannot even cripple one on the street without drawing racist comments! What times we are living in!
I can feel how much you hate Islam and loving to lie always against Muslims.
As I said before this forum is infected by Facists who preeches hate toward Muslims and immigrants, some of them are paid agents and some are SD supporters.
What is their solutions and agenda? History always repeat, they always messed up thing than to make it better. because your hearts are full of hate. And a person with such hate what can bring to this world?
"I can feel how much you hate Islam and loving to lie always against Muslims."
If you can FEEL it and not prove it, you have already started the speech on a wrong foot. PROVE my lies against muslims and I promise you - I will take my words back.
"As I said before this forum is infected by Facists who preeches hate toward Muslims and immigrants"
No. This is where you got it wrong and this is where the good guys win. I LOVE immigrants. Immigrants bring nothing, but good. I HATE conquerors.
You see, Russia welcomed germans through it's entire history. Hell, there were huge areas of western Russia, that were populated by germans. Even losing the WWI was not considered as an awful even by the russian people.
However, when germans decided to invade Russia with a nazi ideology, it was a totally different thing.
I sincerely believe, that an atheist, a christian, a buddhist arab, persian, asian, black, white, cripple, gay, woman, child, scientist, worker etc comes to this country, he ADDS to it. However, when someone, who follows islamic ideology comes here it is similar to the Nazi "liberation" of Poland.
Facts are showing that no muslim country lives in democracy or cherishes freedom. Facts are that muslims encourage territorial expansion. Facts are that muslims do not deny slavery, nor pedophilia, nor rape, nor violence against women and sexual minorities. Muslims officially EDUCATE for the blessing of murder of Jews, as the interview with Wafa Sultan proved in the trial against Wilders.
Islam IS a CHOICE. As national socialism. As Communism. It is destructive. Your greatest scientist are 1000 years old and they got shut down by islam. Your oh, so few, Nobel Prize winners are hunted down by your islamic regimes.
Even your revolutions offer nothing, but public lynching, similar to cannibalism.
YOU represent hatred. YOU bring nothing to this world, except suicide bombing and beheading. YOU are distributing Mein Campf in your countries legally. YOU deny holocaust at the side of the worst Nazis and Neo-Nazis.
And you even DARE to use the word "racism"? Aren't you ashamed? Do you actually believe that whatever islam offered so far in real life was the will of Allah?
Racism!! With your help we can uncover the true impact of racism on humanity.

your skin color, race, culture or ethnicity please share your story
with the World and get help.

Well what do you know about Russia and Russians (russkie) ?! I`m russian. Russians (russkie) and Germans are great nations having much in common, external physical similarity as well. The majority of us are against any immigrants. No difference who and where from.
GOD, Michael. Then I have some news to tell you about your own nation. Quite embarrassing, really.

Currently Germans are fifth largest ethic group in Russia. I suggest that you read about immigration waves and how generally welcome they were in Russia. In regards to the "majority" of "us", I hope you learn something from the above.
@racistreport.org
You want to find racism, intolerance and xenophobia? Put yamaka on the head and walk on the streets of Malmö. Try to arrange gay parade in immigrant areas, or try to encourage muslim women to make their own decisions in regards to marriage and violence in family. Not VERY hard to find eh?
Oh, I am sorry. When violence and intolerance is a "cultural perk", you, guys are much more sensitive, since even intolerance fighters such as yourselves do not wish to get a bunch of "exotic newcomers" slamming your door down with axes.
Absolutely right on the mark.
@Children of Adam,
From someone who adheres to the most violent, dictatorial, intolerant, bigoted, subjugating, fascist, totalitarian ideology in the history of mankind, for you to accuse others as fascists, is the height of hypocrisy.
natives Swedish please,please take note of the truthful views of " bcterry " and
don't forget to give a vote to Sweden Democrat,in the next National Election.
