The 2 Swedes and one Brit, as the local claims is wrong.
There is no Brit, on trial.
There is a person who had British residency in the past, but had his residency terminated. Thus such association is wrong.
have you ever asked yourself who gave them the right to become swedish. before you give us lessons about how to run and govern our counrty.
Swedish citizens are committing terrorist offences in Denmark, Somalia, Iraq, Somalia, Kurdistan and Syria. These Swedish citizens cause death and injury to hundreds/thousands of innocent people. I believe the Swedish citizens in Somalia are particularly good at removing people's arms with an axe.
If ever there was a country in need of lessons "about how to run and govern [sic]" itself, it is Sweden.
The US is well aware of Sweden's lenient attitude to its citizen terrorists. You can hardly blame them for by passing what counts as justice in Sweden, and dealing with the matter themselves.
BTW, I'm Swedish and if Centerartiet a.k.a. Bondeförbundet stays in parliament after the next election, we actually WILL need lessons about how to run our country.
if you got offended by that , you do not deserve such honor.

It depends on who you want to replace them in the parliament, I hope not SD. for one simple reason throughout Europe and north America there is no one country give voice to racists groups running on nationalist and often racist platforms, in other words from streets into governments.
You cannot get people's vote with intimidation campaign. !!
The only thing I got right from SD, was ''Sweden will end up Muslim country'', they said '' Muslim immigrants means, Sweden will became Muslim by : 30''.
As of 2012, according to Statistics 'Sweden reported that around 270 thousand inhabitants of Sweden are from Muslim background such as: - Somalia, Iran, Turkey, Iraq. I guess these are the countries that SD considered them as enemies of Sweden and therefore all the immigrants who are originally come from these countries will be return back immediately. (if 2014 SD run sweden).!
While the other inhabitants with foreign background are welcome in Sweden such as: - former Yugoslavia, Italy, Spain, Poland, Romania, Thailand.... which are by the way the majority. !
The same statistics shows that 95% of second generation of Muslims immigrants are adopting the system easily and fully integrated.
So for SD lets talk about facts figures. the swedish people are wise enough to understand your cheap kids policy.
We do not want any more Somali terrorists in this country, we have plenty already.
Skåne today is the north part of the middle east. It is part of Sweden and Europe no longer. Oh how wonderful it is. Destroy our own culture even more! It's nothing but bloody racism anyway. :P
