I'm sure folks here know about that, right.

Very sad. Though I'm sure SR has potential to jump in and blame those actions on the West and Whitey.

Europeans have a clear choice. We either accept the increasing violence, criminality, and colonisation of our countries that a rising Muslim population brings, allowing our towns and cities to turn into Islamabad and Mogadishu, populated by bearded primitives and niqabed women, or we stop all Muslim immigration and start discussing how to repatriate most of the many millions already here.

It's bigoted nonsense like this that feeds into mistreatment of others based on differences. It's not the rising Muslim population that brings the violence and criminality; it's the way the privileged treat the immigrants. Not to mention that Islamabad is nowhere near the state that Mogadishu is in.

Certain other terrorist groups--Christian terrorist groups, Buddhist terrorist groups, Hindu terrorist groups--say the same about their motivations.

Empty regime sloganeering.

Your faith in the post-modern religion of diversity would be admirable if it wasn't so utterly poisonous.

Quick question. Would Sweden be more or less peaceful if its Muslim population numbered in the hundreds and not the millions?

I totally agree - to say "They only want peace" only does service to the Deep State which runs on conflict and chaos and surveillance, none of which prevents these sorts of attacks.

Oh for goodness sakes, there's a massive difference between 'blaming whitey' and saying that Islamophobia in America is misplaced or that our foreign policy decisions by our government might not be the best way to solve the problem.

There's also a massive difference between the European situation regarding Muslim immigrants and American ones.

Surely that was meant as ironic.
"They" can be a loaded word though.

I give up. What regime am I sloganeering for?

My religion is not diversity. I do recognize that diversity is a positive thing. Positive does not equal poisonous.

Depends on how Sweden is treating its immigrants.

The Deep State were the unelected officials who decided that they could conduct warrantless surveillance on everyone until Snowden exposed their program.

You believe that diversity is a positive thing, despite all evidence to the contrary, because the 'diversity is strength' mantra has been drilled into your brain since childhood.

Not only that, you're riddled with guilt, and faced with the blindingly obvious failure that is mass Muslim immigration to the West - the criminality, the sexual assaults against European women, the utter failure to integrate, the endless demands to accomodate their culture peculiarities, not to mention the frequent mass murder of Europeans - you blame this all not on Muslims, because that would be 'racist,' but on their treatment by those awful Europeans. This ethnomasocism is deeply unhealthy, and yes poisonous.

Sweden gives its Muslim immigrants free housing, healthcare, and education, in addition to generous welfare payments. You couldn't find a country more obsequiously accomodating to migrants. And for all this largesse they have been paid back with a rape epidemic, a spike in violent crime, and the shattering of their once peaceful society. The experiment has been tried, and it has failed. Let Muslims celebrate their culture and values in any of the numerous Muslim countries around the world.
