Yes, the hatred against Sweden and the Swedes goes deep. That's what Mr Ullenhag meant, wasn't it?
I saw a moustached guy about 1'58 tall and I think it was Iraniboy ;-)
In those countries which have not yet swayed so far as Sweden into the realms of political correctness, we see that where statistics are kept, people of White European descent tend to make up a percentage of victims of violent crime disproportionately higher to their numbers than other groups: one might think any honest attempt to address race based or ethnic tensions in Malmö might also address the concerns of ethnic Swedes too.
Exactly what problems do Muslims face in Malmö? For the most part it's their city now.
Yes and I don't think the Swedish kings from the 17th century would have liked that very much but called the Stockholm politicians traitors instead.
The battles over Skåne between the Danes and the Swedes still is among the world's bloodiest, with around 50% losses on both sides. Losses that high never have been very common.
To now freely give Skåne to the muslims is to spit on the fallen troops graves, Danish as well as Swedish.
The jews then complained to the UN about the anti semetic march and demanded the people in Gaza apologise as they have never had it so good.
You got it wrong.
1 million palestinian children were peacefully sitting in lotus positions with lone tears in their eyes, while evil Swedish Jews were walking among them and beheading each and every one of them. Then their blood was used for Passover food and organs for backing up the current organs that all Jews have. So in fact all Jews have 2 livers, 2 hearts and 4 kidneys (in case of failure).
Then Jews complained to the UN that the streets became all dirty of blood and palestinians were made to clean it, which they did, while peacefully grieving. Then they got also executed by Jews. Then palestinians apologized for everything, as they usually do.
What a horror!

I just wonder if any of Malmö Jews owns a house or business on the occupied land?
You have to understand the history of the Jews of Malmo. They have been living there for centuries and they have contributed in a positive way to the economy and well being of their city. So yes. They own houses and business in the occupied land of Malmo and I dont think you will find any Jew becoming a drain to society while living of social welfare. The Jews in Malmo are like the Hobbits and the radicals are like the Orcs ;-)
There are very few swedes on the local, but plenty of racists. Many of the breivik boys' brigades members here openly admit to never having even step foot in sweden, which makes their presence on this board all the more curious. They certainly don't participate to spread their love of their fellow human being, as - see above - they are mostly bitter little keyboard warriors, scared of their own shadows.
Off you go, boys, time for your meds. Oh, and don't forget to sing the BBB hymn. :)
I just wonder how many muslims are... muslims and worship Allah with his prophet Mohammad? How many muslims have relatives in islamic countries? The ones that occupied the normal countries, imposed their ideology, oppressed the women and executed every minority... Just wonder.
I am a racist. You are a racist. Always will be - in the eyes of the politically correct whom constantly and systematically projects "bad" behaviour of their own on other people.
What's a racist anyway? In Sweden the word began to loose its meaning already 20 years ago. Hypocrite lefties began using it as a tool of disarming other people to easily win an argument. Today EVERYthing is racism. Personally I don't care about the word since it doesn't mean anything anyway.
When you don't have a solid argument, you play the race card.
It's been my experience, that the ones who cry racism at every turn, are racist to the core.
@ Uncle #12: thanks for the laugh!!
"By reading your comments, what i see is that "Swedes are not racists" is a myth. Many are , they just do not talk about it."
Dont be so judge-mental. Swedish people, like the people commenting on here are no more inherently racist than any other group of people on the planet.
But speaking for myself I am sick and tired of seeing posters like that one underneath you telling Swedish people and other native Europeans that their cultures, values, genetics, histories, unique identities etc are not worth peanuts and that all these things should be traded in for multiculturalism and to resist this means to guilt trip people into feeling "racist".
If you can find one other group of people on this whole planet that would willingly trade in their culture, their country, their values and their identity for multiculturalism then I would be surprised.
And in case you did not notice, it is always Swedish people and other Europeans that are routinely blamed for all the racism in our modern day multiculturalist societies, racial and cultural conflict is never considered the fault of non-Europeans in the eyes of our hypocritical media. Hence an explanation as to why you see so much "racism" in threads like this.
It's true.
But everyone is just about
As racist as you!
If we all could just admit
That we are racist a little bit,
And everyone stopped being
So PC
Maybe we could live in -
Harmony!"

As a Swede, I thank you for those words.
@ rise, don't worry, you are not alone here in not caring about wearing the badge of racist.
@dick. Practically every your finger hits a key on your keyboard, you make my case for me. I suppose I'm kinda lazy like that, letting you show the world how you live up to your username.
@bcterry, come on, surely you can do better than;
"you're a racist"
"no, *you're* a racist, narny narny nah naaaah"
Or perhaps you really are still in school
@ freedays, you make an interesting point of debate, though perhaps accidentally. I'm not sure who here is arguing for subverting any culture, or tradition. I for one applauded the recent move to permit a nativity scene to continue at some market or another in Sweden. I'm not personally superstitious, and so the nativity scene, or cross, or what have you, hold no more significance to christmas than Coca-Cola's bearded red-suited patriarchal figure. I don't believe many swedes are superstitious either, and it seems statistics bear this out. However, it would be indeed unfortunate for things like that to be lost from the surroundings, much as we might regret any embargo on fireworks on new years eve, or schnapps at midsummer parties.
So I think we can agree, provided none of us are breaking the law, and are not out to intend to antagonise one another, we (for the most part) should be allowed to do what we like, particularly in our own homes, or communities.
That however is not what the anti-immigrant voices here shriek. They want all the dark-skinned people out, regardless of contribution to society. Yet they are strangely silent on the white-skinned immigrants, which some of them themselves no doubt are.
And therein lies the definition of racism.
As for the bad apples, send em back home, white brown pink or purple.
As for the many commentators who hail from Israel - shalom! - you should be careful who choose for bedfellows in your activities. A lot of the types here would have been more than passive members of the Sturmabteilung in a different age. And who do you think the current generation will turn on once the muslims are gone?
You disrespect the memories of your forebears in allying yourselves with these people, and worse, adopting the language you have. They would be ashamed of you, if only they had lived through a different era of bigoted hatred.
Fortunately the well-respected reputation for reasoned and rational discourse of the jewish intellectual is not dead, and there are still such voices on these boards, though I sometimes wonder if they fail to post so often through their embarrassment at your presence.
no votes for jews.
segregate them.
ban them from public transport etc.
they seem to think its fine?

What does the small 400 years old Jewish comunity of Malmo ,has to do with the state of Israel and its political decisions?these are Sweds who vote to the Swedish government, living for generations in Malmo, they do not live in Israel and do not vote for the Israeli government,
It seems it is easy to take it with an old Jewish Rabbi who walks to the Synagouge on Saterday or devasteting Jewish stones in a graveyard in Malmo ,then to protest in front of the Israeli embassy in Sweden.
"That however is not what the anti-immigrant voices here shriek. They want all the dark-skinned people out, regardless of contribution to society."
BS! Politically correct lefties knows very well it has nothing to do with skin color. However they cry "racists" the very second someone utter some complaint about ISLAM or Islamic BEHAVIOUR. It will silence most complaints - leaving the cry of racism an important instrument of power!
Freedom of religion, in Sweden? HA!
if we dont support that we are guilty ? of course
are we supposed to defend so lonely causes ? and if not we are guilty ?
come on!
hope some day sweden will be given back from the hands of all the outsiders who now have caght it
but what can an weak mind swede do against so determined fanatics
I was competly wrong,you are not an anti Israeli person but an anti semitic and racist and it explains your hostile attitude versus Jews, I really do not know what is going on in Australia it is too far from my country,but this way of thinking explain how the holocaust was possibile,and how after this terribile historical event there are still evil people who add oil to the anti semitic fire in order to keep it alive.
About the need to have a psychiater help ,yes we have here many victims old people who their families were mascared before their eyes during the 2WW,take in account that people who were in the same ideas as yoiu have about Jews are responsabile for that sickness.
We are here in Israel to stand firm against all your enemies and the enemies of the Jewish people,and yes no more we charge an high price from those who wish to hit us.

Why do you still have the Hebrew Jewish name of Jack (Jacob)?
Try cleaning your brain cells from your addiction to negative thought. Read and absorb real historical facts prior to making unfounded and malicious allegations.
In Manchester England, tests carried out have confirmed the results of an israeli company that will stop or hinder alzheimer disease. Because it is Jew owned, will you rather boycott it and become senile?
