Sweden Riots

Trump Proven Right? Sweden Reels As Migrant Riots Break Out Monday Night

... this time, several stores have already been looted, around a dozen cars have been burnt, and the parts of the town are already reminiscent of war zones. Ulf Johansson, the regional police chief, stated that the incident was very serious. “Of course it is very serious that the police officers were attacked on the job. What we see may be a result of our increased pressure on criminals in the area. But I can assure that we are resilient and will not leave. Rather, we will intensify our work.”. The grim scenes of Rinkeby during the aftermath of the riot appear to echo the words of U. S. President Donald Trump last week when the brazen billionaire turned politician alleged that violent incidents are happening in Sweden. With no notable attacks happening on Swedish soil recently, however, the U. S. President was largely mocked for announcing false information. As it turns out, however, Trump’s statements could easily have been accurate, had he conducted his campaign rally just a few days later. Around 61 percent of residents in Rinkeby are born abroad, and violence has been ...

Alt-right Website Editor Pays Journalist £1,600 To Investigate Sweden Violence

... Watson. In a follow-up post, subsequently deleted, Mr Watson wrote: "All you lefty idiots accepting a 'trip to Sweden'. Can you read? I said you'd be staying here. Good luck.”. The post featured a number of images to illustrate his point, including a photograph of anti-Israel protesters from the 2009 Davis Cup tennis match between Sweden and Israel. Hundreds of people offered their services, including comedian Al Murray and journalist Laurie Penny. Mr Watson has since donated £1,600 to US journalist Tim Pool who has pledged to "investigate the claims of 'no-go zones' and a rise in crime that people believe are coming from migrants and refugees". In a video posted on his You Tube channel, Mr Pool says: "This is a highly politicised phenomenon, with one faction saying it's true and you're denying it for political reasons, and the other side saying it's false and you're pushing the story for political reasons. "I don't side with anybody. I'm a sceptic.". Malmo's deputy mayor Nils Karlsson has promised any visiting journalists a warm welcome. Protestors make their way to a rally by Dutch ...

Riots Break Out In Stockholm Suburb After Trump Blasts Sweden's Migrant Policies

... with police officers Monday, two days after President Donald Trump unleashed a vague but pointed critique of Sweden's immigration policies. About 20 to 30 masked men threw stones and other objects at police officers in the suburb, Rinkeby, after police arrested a man on suspicion of dealing drugs. A police officer fired a warning shot, but the disturbances continued for several more hours, stretching into early Tuesday morning. A photojournalist was injured in the disturbances. The episode drew scrutiny worldwide because of Trump's assertions - based on a Fox News segment - that Sweden had experienced a surge in crime and violence as a result of taking in large numbers of refugees. Give the public a break - The FAKE NEWS media is trying to say that large scale immigration in Sweden is working out just beautifully. NOT. — Donald J. Trump (@real Donald Trump) February 20, 2017. Swedish officials have criticized his statements as exaggerations. Preliminary statistics ...

Three Police Officers Injured After Being Ambushed, Assaulted By Muslim Immigrant Mob

... some hope for western civilization. Rinkeby is a suburb dominated by Muslim immigrants, in northern Stockholm, Sweden and the site of numerous violent Muslim riots, arson and uprisings. SWEDEN’S ‘NO-GO ZONE’ CRISIS: Three police officers injured after being ATTACKED by thugs. THREE Swedish police officers were taken to hospital after being attacked by a violent mob on a routine mission in a ‘no-go zone’ on Friday evening. By Lizzie Stromme, Feb 11, 2017. Officers in Sweden’s capital were on patrol in the suburb of Rinkeby when they are set upon by a group of 20-30 thugs. Police spokeswoman Eva Nilsson said the sickening attack on her colleagues happened after they stopped to search an individual at around 11 pm. Moments later the mob appeared and started hitting, kicking and throwing bottles and glass at the attending officers. Ms Nilsson said: “It is utterly unacceptable that this happened during normal service. “The trouble started after a [routine search of a person]. People came out from a place nearby, a restaurant or what it was. “Exactly how many people were involved is difficult to say, but the officers ...

Media Note That Violence In Sweden Happened Days After Trump's Comments; So What Caused These Riots

... Vwq Pc. — CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) February 22, 2017. Wow, those rioters must have been really upset over President Trump’s alleged reference to  that non-existent terror attack at his rally Saturday, once the news reports made it to them. While foreign press didn’t seem to make the connection, the Washington Post highlighted Trump’s role in the violence. Riots erupt in Sweden’s capital just days after Trump comments __link__/Fsr Uf XLv Hb. — Doug Mordecai (@dougmordecai) February 22, 2017. It was a while back now, but certainly someone in the media can check Google to see what Trump was up to in 2013 when “youth” in Sweden rioted for a week  in an area populated largely by immigrants from Turkey, the Middle East, and Somalia. Coincidentally, those riots followed the killing of a Muslim man who reportedly attacked police with a machete, a bit like this week’s riot followed an arrest in the area by Swedish police; best not to jump to conclusions, though. After some investigation, news outlets like the New York Times and the Guardian reported that the 2013 riots were supposedly sparked by “long-term youth unemployment.”. Many ...

Muslim Montreal Couple Had Makings Of A Bomb

... about Islamophobia on the other. Her direct connections to Islamist front groups means she must either publicly disavow extremist groups such as Jamaah e Islami and the Muslim Brotherhood, or withdraw her motion. Iqra Khalid is the Liberal Member of Parliament for Mississauga-Erindale, elected in 2015. She recently tabled a motion in the House of Commons which would “condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination.”. Clearly, the intent of her motion is not to address issues of discrimination, but rather to silence anyone who speaks out against Islamists in Canada. For instance, Irqa Khalid was President of the Muslim Student Association when she was a student at York University (early 2000 s). The Muslim Student Association was founded by adherents of the Muslim ...

How Sweden Became An Example Of How Not To Handle Immigration

... During one recent interview on Swedish radio, several asylum-seekers confessed to lying about their age to improve their chances of settlement. One, called Dawood, put it bluntly: ‘If I say I’m grown-up, they’ll deport me.’. The cost of accommodating our child refugees is enormous: £160 per child per day. That could be money well spent, if it worked. There are serious concerns, though, about children falling victim to predatory adults who have lied about their age. Earlier this year, a boy of 12 was raped in refugee accommodation by another refugee who claimed to be 15. A dental X-ray suggested the attacker was closer to 19. Later that month, a 22-year-old Swede (herself the daughter of immigrants) was stabbed to death by one of the refugees she was caring for — another adult claiming to be 15. Such horrific stories raise the fear that the authorities have lost control. This is reflected in the extraordinary rise of the Sweden Democrats. There have also been a spate of attacks on refugee centres, some of which have been burnt down. For many, this seems like history repeating itself ...

Right On Cue, Riots Break Out In Muslim Neighborhood Of Stockholm As Swedes Deny Their Immigration Problem

... So when President Trump referred to a documentary he had seen the night before, the Swedes rushed to  put him down , claiming there was no massacre the night before. The battle was taken to the next level, as Swedes rushed to claim that their crime statistics show a peaceful nation benefitting from diversity – the official party line.  Tucker Carlson last night interviewed both a Swedish journalist in denial and Ami Horowitz, the filmmaker whose interview and excerpts sparked Trump's Florida remark, and Carlson revealed basic disagreement on – and ignoring of – crime stats for rape in particular. Trumping this dispute (forgive me the pun!), actual Muslim immigrants in an area of Stockholm thoughtfully provided a riot to validate Horowitz's and Trump's position.   Zerohedge reports. Rinkeby is a known problem area in Stockholm. It was here NRK journalist Anders Magnus ...

Support for anti-migrant party the Sweden Democrats has increased since the 2014 election when it was already at an all-time high, the study said. Politicians from all parties have been recorded making comments questioning the future of national identity or ‘Swedishness’. Anna Kinberg-Batra, leader of the Moderates, said arranged marriages could not be defended as freedom of religion. She said: “To take the future away from your daughter – that is not freedom.”.
