BansheeOne Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Arab-Scandinavian trolls are best trolls. Quote Sweden: Muslim protester says he never wanted to burn Torah 3 hours ago After announcing his plans to burn the Torah and the Bible in Stockholm, the 32-year-old man said this was merely a stunt to draw attention to the limits of free speech. The man who vowed to burn the Torah and the Bible outside the Israeli Embassy in Sweden's capital, Stockholm, said Saturday he had chosen not to set fire to the religious scriptures, Swedish media have reported. Despite being given permission by Stockholm police to hold a three-person protest, the man said he had no intention of burning any books and instead threw a lighter to the ground. "I never thought I would burn any books. I'm a Muslim, we don't burn [books]," broadcaster SVT cited the man as telling those gathered for the planned desecration. The 32-year-old Ahmad A. said the real reason for the protest was to draw attention to the difference between freedom of speech and offending other ethnic groups. "This is a response to the people who burn the Koran. I want to show that freedom of expression has limits that must be taken into account," explained the Swedish resident of Syrian origin. "I want to show that we have to respect each other, we live in the same society. If I burn the Torah, another the Bible, another the Koran, there will be war here. What I wanted to show is that it's not right to do it," he added. The planned Torah burning was due to take place just days after another man set fire to pages of the Quran, Islam's holy book, drawing widespread condemnation from Muslims worldwide. Israeli, Jewish leaders denounce plans Speaking ahead of the latest planned burning, Israeli President Isaac Herzog described it as an act of "pure hate." "As the president of the state of Israel, I condemned the burning of the Quran, sacred to Muslims the world over, and I am now heartbroken that the same fate awaits a Jewish Bible, the eternal book of the Jewish people," Herzog said on Friday. "Permitting the defacement of sacred texts is not an exercise in freedom of expression, it is blatant incitement and an act of pure hate," Herzog said. "The whole world must join together in clearly condemning this repulsive act." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote on Twitter, "The State of Israel takes this shameful decision, which harms the Holy of Holies of the Jewish people, very seriously." Yaakov Hagoel, chairman of the World Zionist Organization, said granting the permit for the burning of a Torah was "not freedom of expression but antisemitism." The European Jewish Congress also issued a condemnation, saying that "provocative, racist, antisemitic and sickening acts such as these have no place in any civilized society." Why is Sweden allowing the burning of religious texts? Stockholm police granted a permit to an applicant to hold a public rally to burn a Jewish and a Christian Bible on Saturday. Seen as blasphemous by religious followers, others regard the book burning as an example of freedom of expression, which is protected by the Swedish constitution. Blasphemy laws in Sweden were abandoned in the 1970s. The man who filed the request for Saturday's protest said the move was in response to the Quran burning outside a Stockholm mosque last month by an Iraqi Christian immigrant during the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.

BansheeOne Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 The Second Nordic Biker War is here! Though bikers like the Bandidos seem only tangentially involved in lieu of the new cool kids calling themselves Foxtrot, power struggles within which seem to be at the center of the current surge of attacks; and involving the military also appears to be mostly to provide logistics and free police from routine guard duties and such. Quote Sweden to call in military to help crack down on gangs 21 hours ago Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has blamed "irresponsible immigration policy and a failed integration" for the violence. He is taking several steps to help stem growing gang activity. Sweden's government said on Friday it would authorize the military to assist the police in fighting organized criminal groups. The comments come after Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson met with the head of Sweden's armed forces and the police chief on Friday to discuss ways to stem growing gang violence in the country. What did Kristersson say? Following the meeting, Kristersson said police and armed forces would have an official mandate to explore ways to cooperate. He also said the government would look into changing the law that limits the circumstances in which the police can request military assistance without giving specific details. "The wave of violence is... unprecedented in Sweden, but it is also unprecedented in Europe, no other country has a situation like the one we have," he said. "The police cannot do all the work themselves." In September alone, 12 people were killed in the wave of violence sweeping the country. One was killed in a bomb attack, and another 11 were shot dead in separate incidents. National Police Commissioner Anders Thornberg clarified, however, that armed forces would not be given "direct" policing tasks. Kristersson said Sweden's armed forces could help police with knowledge of explosives, helicopter logistics and analyses, adding that this could be done without changing any laws. Military and police to work together The Scandinavian country has been wrestling with rampant gang crime for years. Thornberg said it now poses a "serious threat to the safety and security of the country." [...] Kristersson blamed the crisis on years of political naivety, particularly under Social Democrat-led governments and ramped up antimigrant rhetoric. Kristersson's Moderate Party came to power with the support of the far-right Swedish Democrats. "Irresponsible immigration policies and failed integration have led us here," he said. Deportation by association New laws will give police more power to combat gang activity, including wiretapping and body searches in certain areas, harsher sentences for repeat offenders and double sentences for some crimes. "We'll put them on trial. If they are Swedish citizens they will be locked away with long prison sentences, and if they are foreigners they will be deported," Kristersson said. "We are going to deport foreigners who move in criminal gang circles even if they haven't committed a crime," he added. New youth prisons are also being constructed to separate young offenders from adult criminals. Kristersson said that efforts were underway to ensure all children learn Swedish. https://www.dw.com/en/sweden-to-call-in-military-to-help-crack-down-on-gangs/a-66959206 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BansheeOne Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 More on that: Quote Taxi Murder in Sweden: Five Teenagers Accused! Did They Hang Taxi Driver Coz He Raped a Girl? A taxi driver (26) from Stockholm was missing, and his snow-covered car was found by the police on March 26, 2023 in a forest in Enköping. The car was unlocked, the key was in it, and the taximeter was also working, writes TV4.se. The police immediately suspected a kidnapping. Almost a week later, on April 1, they searched with dogs and found the 26-year-old man hanging from a tree a few hundred meters from the parking lot. Investigators said the taxi driver did not take his own life – instead, suspicions focused on four brothers and a girl, aged between 15 and 18. Earlier this week, they were accused of murder, Swedish media reports. ‘The girl (16) is a rape victim’ The trial is expected on October 3 in Uppsala. The teenagers were accused of killing a man by hanging. The case received a lot of attention in the Swedish media as a ‘taxi murder’. The police investigation revealed that the taxi driver was in a relationship with the accused teenage girl (16). She reported him for rape in February this year. She claimed that everything happened last summer. According to the police, the report was incomplete and unclear, so it was rejected. Possible revenge motive – The incident happened a long time ago, there were no witnesses and she only gave the man’s nickname – said the head of the investigation Andreas Pallinder at a press conference on Monday. Rape is cited as a possible motive for the murder, and the police admit that the murder could probably have been avoided if rape had been a priority. They found evidence such as rope and tape with the teenager, and the DNA at the crime scene also matched. https://us.firenews.video/world-news/taxi-murder-in-sweden-five-teenagers-accused-did-they-hang-taxi-driver-coz-he-raped-a-girl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we humans are "red of tooth and claw" and not really patient enough for fact-finding before we unleash our inner savage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
