Fjordman - 4/18/2008
Yrsa Stenius, the Swedish press Ombudsmann, wants to press charges against certain bloggers. She is worried about developments on the Internet, where anybody can just write anything they want. She says this has gone too far. She fears this trend could even spread to the mainstream media, unless something is done and a legal precedent is established to rein ... An Open Letter to Expo and the Expressen Newspaper
Fjordman - 3/30/2008
The newspaper Expressen in Sweden recently published an article claiming that two members of the Sweden Democrats party have ties to neo-Nazi organizations. First of all: If these people really do have neo-Nazi connections, they do not belong in a civilized party and should in my view be expelled immediately. The SD will never be taken seriously if they have people like this in their party and they do not deserve to. Totalitarian Sweden
Fjordman - 3/13/2008
According to the news website The Local, members of the only significant (but still small) party in Sweden critical of mass immigration live under constant threat of violence. Sweden is witnessing the greatest explosion of street violence in its history, and a woman is raped every two hours. The national newspaper Aftonbladet links the massive increase in rapes to the warm weather. The state-sponsored organization Expo, which lists a dozen employees at its website and receives backing from the media and the major parties, has been campaigning against the Sweden Democrats for years. Expo’s Dani... Norwegian Medicine for Vedanta

On 19 November, the Norwegian Embassy in New Delhi received some unusual visitors. Even the police and security personnel stationed in the heavily-guarded Chanakyapuri area of Delhi where Norwegian and other embassies are located could not figure out the purpose of these visitors. Though they were Indian citizens, ethnically they belonged to a distinct tribal minority group called Dongria Kondh. Dressed in their traditional attire, these tribal representatives came all the way from the remote Niyamgiri hills of Orissa to express gratitude to the Norwegian government for removing UK-based Vedan... Expo and the Islamophobes
Fjordman - 1/8/2008
The Swedish far-Left, anti-racist organization Expo recently released a publication ( pdf, in Swedish) entitled “Kriget mot islam,” “The war against Islam,” in which they worried about an increasing trend towards “organized Islamophobia” in the West. According to them, “Parallel with the growth of SIOE, a new anti-Islamic network of academics, bloggers and politicians is taking shape. The network has no formal name, but meets at so-called anti-Jihad conferences. The first known meeting was in Copenhagen on the 14th of April this year. Behind the event was the network Center for Vigilant Freedom (CVF).” The Unfair Slurs Against Swedish Democrats

The controversy that has swirled around Counterjihad Brussels 2007 since it ended ten days ago centers on two European nationalist parties, Vlaams Belang, or Flemish Issue, and Sverigedemokraterna, or The Sweden Democrats. Members of both parties attended the conference, although as individuals, not as representatives of their respective parties. Danish Election Roundup
Baron Bodissey - 11/17/2007
It looks like Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen's Liberal Party won the November 13, 2007 elections and will continue to head a government in coaliton with nationalist Dansk Folkeparti (the Dannish People's Party), a nationalist party that came in third. The two parties combined for over 40% of the vote, with another 11.3% going to the Conservatives and the Christian Democrats. On the left, the second place Social Democrats have suffered some of the worst results in 100 years and it looks like their voter base has shrunk permanently. Social Democrats received 25.5% and all the other left wing parties received about 21%. The centrist New Alliance party came in at 2.8%. Sweden Learns That Appeasement Doesn’t Pay

Norwegian police have discovered that a large number of Pakistani taxi drivers, many of whom have already been charged with tax evasion in one of the worst cases of welfare fraud in the nation's history, have close contact with Pakistani gangs and operate as couriers of arms and drugs. In the city of Oslo it is documented that criminal Pakistani gangs also have close ties to Jihadist groups at home and abroad. This despite the f... Islamizing Finland

You know, I�d do just as well to close this blog down and just give readers a permanent link to The Local, the Swedish English-language news site. I�ve been citing The Local four or five times a day; that�s where all the Lars Vilks news is, and from Sweden come all the Multicultural, PC, and dhimmitude stories that you would ever want to read. Not only that, The Local has those good-looking Nordic babes in bathing suits in the ads on the sidebar � who could ask for more? Sweden: Collaboration, Then and Now

Erik Brattberg - 8/17/2007
Current demographic trends suggest that by 2020, ten percent of the overall European population will be Muslim. Although pluralism is by no means an impossibility, a large Muslim presence in Europe is not entirely unproblematic. Islamic radicals are today present in every West European country with a substantial Muslim minority. Up until 11 September 2001, these Jihadists operated in relatively interrelated network structures. The Jihadist movement is, however, currently undergoing a phase of decentralization resulting in a new form of homegrown terrorism. These terrorist cells consists predom... The Death of Sweden

I still get questions as to why I, being Norwegian, write more about Sweden than I do about my own country. First of all: I do write about Norway sometimes. And second of all: If you look at capital cities alone, Oslo could quite possibly be the worst city in Scandinavia. However, in virtually all other respects, Sweden is worse. And yes, it is every bit as bad as I... Sweden: Sharia-Supporters and Transvestites of the World Unite!
Fjordman - 7/3/2007
I was planning to take a break from writing about Sweden, but I just couldn’t help it. Swedish journalist Kurt Lundgren had a noteworthy story on his blog this week. A friend told him about a magazine published by Lärarförbundet, the Swedish Teachers’ Union, the largest union for teachers and heads of schools in the country. The magazine, aimed at preschool teachers who take care of children between the ages of 0-6 years old, included recommendations to not only promote “gender equality” but also “sexual equality” at this tender age. Mr. Lundgren considers the suggestions that are sent out to kindergarten and preschool staff to be clear-cut sexual abuse of children: Islam, Euro Bureaucracy & Rule of Law
Fjordman - 5/22/2007
I was recently asked by Dr. Daniel Pipes to explain why Swedish authorities are behaving allowing their country to be run over by Third World immigration while suppressing any speech in opposition to it. First, I may be unfairly focusing on Sweden somewhat too much because, as a Scandinavian, I’m emotionally attached to the country. And yet, while the Islamic takeover is arguably more acute in France, Britain and the Netherlands, among other European country, it is accurate to say that there is less real debate in Sweden than in any other country. Multiculturalism is, for the Left, an anti-Wes... Norway: Professor Unni Wikan On Rape
Esther - 5/13/2007
This is an exercise in facts and context, which is quite interesting. In the debate about rapes by Muslims in Norway, you will often find a quote by a "Norwegian professor" who said that "Norwegian women should adapt". I myself have referenced this attitude in past articles. The professor in question is Unni Wikan, and her words appear all over the net. For example, this one: "Norwegian women must take responsibility for the fact that Muslim men find their manner of dress provocative. And since these men believe women are responsible for rape, the women must adapt to the multicultural society around them." Finnish neo-Gestapo Attempts To End Bloggers' Free Speech
Baron Bodissey - 5/9/2007
Finnish blogger Mikko Ellilä (http://mikkoellila.thinkertothinker.com) is facing a police interrogation for the “hate speech” on his blog after pointing out that according to official statistics by the Department of Justice of Finland, black immigrants commit 20 times more crime, per capita, than do native Finns. He sent a message to Baron Bodissey in the anticipation of his meeting with the "Hate Crimes Gestapo". The following is his letter: When Danes Pay Danegeld – Dealing with Islam in Scandinavia
Fjordman - 5/5/2007
One thousand years ago Scandinavians were the barbarians of Europe, spreading fear and extracting “Danegeld” from their more civilized neighbors. In the 21st century Scandinavians are peaceful and soft-spoken, and the roles seem to have been reversed with certain newly arrived immigrants. There are claims that immigration costs Sweden 40 to 50 billion Swedish kroner every year, perhaps even several hundred billions, and has greatly contributed to bringing the Swedish welfare state to the brink of bankruptcy. Sweden: The Country that Sacrifices its Children, and Celebrates It!

Sweden is a country that has virtually no public debate about mass immigration, which continues at full speed. The Swedish political and media elites congratulate themselves for their Multicultural goodness. If sacrificing your own children is the definition of good, then exactly what constitutes evil? Norwegian Authorities Are Covering Up Muslim Rapes
Fjordman - 4/11/2007
There has been a spike in the number of rape charges in Scandinavia in recent years. It has reached near epidemic proportions in Sweden. Although there are indications of a very high percentage of Muslim immigrants on the statistics, as it is with other kinds of crime, immigration is a non-issue for the political establishment a few weeks ahead of the Swedish national elections.

Fjordman - 4/6/2007
Robert Spencer and Hugh Fitzgerald of Jihad Watch have a nickname for newspaper the New York Times, which they prefer to call “the New Duranty Times” owing to what they perceive as its poor coverage of the global Islamic jihad. The name, of course, comes from Walter Duranty, former Pulitzer Prize winner and Moscow correspondent for The New York Times in the 1930s. Duranty repeatedly denied the existence of a Ukrainian famine in 1932–33. In an article in NYT, August 24 1933, he claimed “any report of a famine is today an exaggeration or malignant propaganda,” while millions of people were dying... The War Against Swedes
Fjordman - 4/5/2007
Two years ago, I wrote the disintegration of Swedish society and the danger of its collapse, at least in certain areas and regions. The country that gave us Bergman, ABBA and Volvo could become known as the Bosnia of northern Europe. The “Swedish model” would no longer refer to a stable and peaceful state with an advanced economy, but a Eurabian horror story of utopian Multiculturalism, Socialist mismanagement and runaway immigration. Some thought I was exaggerating, and that talk of the possibility of a future civil in Sweden was pure paranoia. Was it? The Proper Islamic Response to Danish Cartoons

JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA. Protests, boycotts, street marches and shouting empty slogans would be of little help to confront the row that erupted after the publication of the defamatory cartoons, said a leading Dawah activist. According to him, the 'right response' should rather be to educate the Danes about Islam and Prophet Muhammad, whom they have insulted in their ignorance. Nokia - From Start to Finnish
Sam Vaknin, Ph.D. - 9/19/2005
Some companies have at least nine lives, it would seem. Nokia was founded in southwestern Finland, in 1865, by a mining engineer, one, Frederik Idestam, as a wood-pulp mill. An eponymous town formed around it. Independently, the Finnish Rubber Works took on the town name in the 1920s, having been established there in 1898.

Antero Leitzinger - 6/18/2005
When Finland became independent on 6th of December 1917, the constitution, dating back to Swedish rule over a century earlier, required all Finnish citizens to be of Evangelical Lutheran faith. Exceptions had been made regarding other Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Russian Orthodox religions (after all, the Grand Duke himself, as Emperor of Russia, was Orthodox). Non-Christians, however, were excluded from the citizenship. They included Jews and Muslims. Jews in Finland were Yiddish-speaking immigrants from Russia, who were later integrated into the Swedish-speaking minority. Muslims in Finla... |
