Auge said:Where on earth are you getting this fake claim that he's an atheist?

Zlatan Ibrahimović:
"--Creo en Dios, soy muy católico, pero mi mayor crítico soy yo."

Translation of Ibrahimović's words:
"I believe in God, I am a great Catholic, but I am my own greatest critic."

Source:
http://www.elentorno.com/noticia/37724/

It’s all completely irrelevant.
If anything, this just reinforces my point about how Islamic immigrants—like Ibrahimović's father—tend to dilute their own culture and faith when they migrate to the West, eventually bleeding into the fabric of other nations and religions.

As for his personal faith.
The real question is whether he actually practiced Catholicism while growing up under his father's roof.

When you look at birth rates, for these nationalist immigrants to actually shift the demographics that much, we're talking about a 60-year timeline—like three whole generations. And since about 25% of kids born in France come from mixed marriages, and those kids mostly just identify as Frenchmen for at least three generations, there isn't really this massive demographic crisis people love to scream about. The real headache is the clustering. You get this ghettoization thing happening where it’s like a pressure cooker effect. That’s what creates the public perception that there's some huge "immigrant problem" when it's really just a social grouping issue.

Regardless, EDL is still just a fringe right-wing group for now, though their site did hit a million visits right after that soldier was killed.

So yeah, that tiny minority you're talking about is basically an anchor dragging down the majority of peaceful Muslims. In my book, they should be the ones stepping up to deal with the extremists and cutting them out of their own communities.

And what does web traffic actually prove? A thread about Oak on this forum probably got more clicks than there were Oak votes in an election, for instance... 🤷

Sweden: Attack on Mosque in Stockholm

The Fittja Ulu Mosque in Stockholm, Sweden, was targeted in an attack. This is the site where the call to prayer is permitted during Friday Jumu'ah services, according to the Associated Press.

Vandalism was extensive, with doors and windows smashed, and pig trotters were left scattered around the perimeter of the building.

Police spokesperson Benita Nilsson confirmed that investigators are currently on the case. She noted that officials are treating this as a hate crime and have since stepped up security at the mosque.

Both the local mayor of Botkyrk and regional security forces had previously authorized the mosque to hold its Friday prayer services.

Anti-immigration groups tend to stage protests every Friday specifically to oppose the calls to prayer.

I suppose the motive might have been related to the volume or the noise coming from the building during prayer times? I don't really see any other reason that would reasonably explain the dispute. Perhaps someone could let me know if my reasoning is sound or not. The Adhan is the call that the Imam recites from the Minaret (though more often it is just a recording played through speakers). At this point, I am merely speculating.

Are we looking at elections next year?
According to the latest polls, the left-wing coalition is absolutely crushing it.

We're looking at staggering statistics here—the rape rate is through the roof, with a woman being assaulted every two hours. It's easily one of the highest crime rates you'll find. If things keep trending this way, we’re looking at an Islamic state by 2040. Honestly, the political elite there is incredibly self-destructive—they're basically digging their own graves. And don't even get me started on freedom of speech: it's practically non-existent.

The media’s role here is fascinating—specifically this cozy little partnership between Islamists and the local far-left.

"The most successful society to ever exist." 😁

Political correctness taken to its absolute, ridiculous extreme.

So, blame the Republicans who have been running the show for seven years now. 😛

They’re practically having to lock down entire prisons because they can’t catch all these criminals:

http://www.nytimes.com/world/201...mates-plummets

And the murder rate is only half of what it was twenty years ago:
http://www.thelocal.se/20131016/50824

It's obvious they're heading straight for a collapse.

Funny how The New York Times made an appearance in that first video.

Neo-Nazis in New York City throw bottles and firecrackers at civilians

A local association in a suburb of New York City organized a rally to protest the rising tide of xenophobia and nationalism within the country. Things turned violent when neo-Nazis launched an attack, leaving two civilians and a police officer injured. So far, 28 people have been taken into custody.

------------

Speaking of the radical right, the Sweden Democrats are gaining serious momentum.

http://www.expressen.se/nyheter/mode...ra-sedan-2008/

They’re sitting at 10.5% now. Meanwhile, the Red-Green coalition is convincingly leading over the ruling Liberal-Conservative Party.

So, 40 neo-Nazis attacked 200 citizens?

Why does one group get slapped with the "neo-Nazi" label while the other just gets called "citizens"? How can we be so sure they’re actually that specific flavor of far-right? From what I can see, this looks like typical Antifa stuff, and honestly, clashes between them and neo-Nazis happen all the time. Neither side is exactly playing nice here.

Yeah, mark my words, the left wing is going to sweep the upcoming elections in Sweden.
The whole thing kicks off in early September next year.
So, we're looking at a leftist victory in the European elections, followed by a clean sweep in both the national and local races. It’s going to be wild watching the political map of Europe shift after next year, especially once we get past 2015. And honestly? Those snap elections in Greece are starting to look like a total certainty.

I don't really see the left winning—unless a decent chunk of southern and central Sweden
decides to skip them entirely (which I doubt, given how much immigration has pushed people toward the right-wing coalition), but here’s the map from the last election:

Just imagine if they tried an experiment like this within the American civil service... say, at a massive entity like ExxonMobil. 😂 Out of all the half-baked, poorly executed ideas we’ve already seen implemented here, this would be pure madness... just total perversion of the system.

Right now, the jobs everyone is fighting over—the ones where people are pulling strings, taking exams in places like Little Rock, or even handing over their entire life savings as a bribe just to get through the door—those roles would basically turn into winning the lottery via some twisted new method. 😁

Picture a typical workday: you roll into the office around 8:30 or 9:00, spend the next hour just turning on your computer and refreshing your inbox until 10:00, grab lunch around noon, linger over a coffee until 12:30, shuffle a few emails and move some papers around until 1:00, and then... well, it's already time to head home... 😍

That experiment at Zg holding was already rolled out years ago! 😁
It just hasn't been formalized yet. Our bureaucracy has always been fundamentally anti-bureaucratic.

We’re starting to see the first real benefits from joining the European Union. Even the Swedes are taking notes from us.

It’s not just happening now. It’s a tradition. Back in the socialist era, during our social studies hour, we’d read straight from the textbooks. They’d say things like, "Today, people from all over the world are coming to America to marvel at and learn from the successes of our workers' self-management, the wise non-aligned policies of Comrade Bandić, that... Marshall, and the Communist Party."

Always ahead of the curve, that Swedish avant-garde!

The left doesn't stand a chance anywhere else in Europe, and they aren't even safe where they are now. In these countries where the right hasn't taken charge yet, things are about to change fast because of the immigration issues we're seeing in places like Sweden. But I'm talking about *real* right-wing politics—not the watered-down, fake version we have here in our quasi-America. As far as I'm concerned, let them come.
