(Translation):

BATTERY - Two men and one women were assaulted tonight by two skinheads after having visited the Gay Pride Festival held in Södermalm, Stockholm. One of them was brought to hospital suffering from back, as well as head damages. Police classifies the assault as a homofobic hate crime.

(Original text:

"Misshandel Två män och en kvinna miss- handlades i natt av två skinnskallar efter att ha besökt Pridefestivalen på Söder i Stockholm. En av dem fördes till sjukhus med rygg- och huvud- skador. Polisen betecknar misshandeln som ett homofobiskt hatbrott.")

Note: Södermalm is today home to some of the leading careerist, upper middle class liberals of Sweden. Long ago, it was a working class area. Today, a lot of ordinary swedish workers despise the Södermalm elitist clique. About Södermalm:

In Sweden, opposition to gay lifestyles isn't as strong as in Eastern Europe or in America. Being swedish, I'd say the situation looks something like this;

- A small minority consisting of right wing extremists and religious groups heavily oppose gay "rights". - A large group, say, 50-60% of the swedes deem gay lifestyles unnatural, although not provoking or don't bother at all. A lot of the members of this category (like me) find political correctness more annoying than gay activism. - 20% of the population are outspoken advocates of gay rights and apparently feel swedish gays are exposed to terrible persecution and maltreatment wherever they go in their native country. In this category you find many journalists, left wing activists, trade union people and - of course - politicians.

In the 1970's, swedish gay lobbyist head organisation RFSL supported pedophilia. Today, this fact is taboo in swedish media and public debate.

That link on Södermal don't seem to work, I'll try again.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%B6dermalm

More info:

If it still doesn't work, well, check wikipedia.org or search the web for södermalm alt. sodermalm. Despite some of the inhabitants of that area, it still is a very beautiful part of Stockholm and the shopping as well as the restaurants are great and not as expensive as in many other parts of central Stockholm.
To other swedes here: That was pretty diplomatic of someone living in Gothenburg and supporting IFK Göteborg, wasn't it? ;-D

Shame on Europe. Here in Dallas the Gays live in $500,000 dollar condos and drive $75,000 dollar cars. Europe needs to be more like the US.

I can't even get a loan.

In 50 years Sweeden will have a Muslim majority. Neo-Nazis will be the least of your worries.

One of the danger here is Europe turning to a Nazi-like mentality to oppose Islamofacism..

In case you're a male: Try another outfit (preferably something similar to those of women participating in the Carneval in Rio), wear make-up and talk like Pee Wee Herman.

But, I guess to all of us sane men, that would be below our dignity.

Proud to be politically incorrect.

If the choice is between two forms of facism, I will do everything in my power to find a third choice.

In 50 years?
That's very unlikely, to be honest.
Muslims today make up for 3.9% of the swedish population and new government policies have put a halt to the muslim immigration.
However, muslim birth rates are high.

Most swedish muslims are very moderate and are more integrated into society than in, for instance, France where the situation is nuts.
Things might change, but overall one must admit the situation is under control.

Muslim dominated Rosengård in Malmö is a far worse place than anything that can be found in for instance my home city, Gothenburg.
The area of Angered in Gothenburg used to be a immigrant ghetto 5-10 years ago. I was there the other day in fact.
They're building nice condos everywhere and people drive around in nice Volvos and Mercedes Benz.
Sending the socialism of the 1970's down the drain is among best thing we've ever done in this country. The government of Sweden calls itself socialist, but the leading Social Democrats of today are in fact immensely corporate and investment friendly.

Are you saying you don't have to fight Islam in Sweden ?

My oh my, this is hard to believe. ;-)

And the birthrate of secularists is well below the replacement level. The Freeper I pinged in my previous post has relatives in Malmö. Moderate Muslims are a myth. "Moderate" Muslims won't condemn radical Muslims.

Fighting islamofascism is something completely different from fighting islam.

If muslim immigrants work hard, condemn islamofascism, respect the law and treat native swedes (like me and my family) respectfully, I feel inclined to treat them with respect.
However, that doesn't mean Sweden should go back to importing hoards of muslims, especially not from the most underdeveloped countries of the world.

Many "muslims" I've met here in Sweden hate regimes like the one of Iran and several of them even eat pork!
But undeniably, we also have muslim criminal gangs (especially in Malmö), but I feel they are more of criminals than muslims.
Hopefully, succesfull Rosengård natives like Zlatan Ibrahimovic (major soccer star) and Timbuktu (successful hip hop artist) can inspire immigrant kids to seek other ways of gaining "respect" in society than senseless crime activities.
I you deem it impossible, you've already given up.

The tiny difference you make is important, but has come entirely out of fashion here on freep.

From what I've understood Rosengård is completely different from an area like Angered in Gothenburg. In Angered you'll find a lot of iranians and iraquis who have come to Sweden because they hated Saddam and the iranian mullahs as well as people originating from Chile and Finland and other christian countries. These people are not much of a problem.
There are also some immigrants and refugees from Africa (especially easter Africa), many of them on the other hand haven't got a clue about what modern society is all about.
To some extent, they benefit from living close to good people from these other groups.
In Rosengård, Malmö the latter group dominates the area and therefore the situation is worse.
Furthermore Angered in Gothenburg is a place where large companies have located, like for instance snack producer Estrella, providing the people there with work.
In Rosengård I think a majority is unemployed or working illegally.
