ISIS Tells Assyrian Christians IN SWEDEN: ‘Convert or Die: The Caliphate Is Here’
Breitbart ^ | Oct 14, 2015 | Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D

Assyrian Christians living in Sweden have been targeted with a string of threatening messages linked to the Islamic State, including demands that they “convert or die.”

A recent report by Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter revealed that the Assyrian community in the city of Gothenburg, in southwestern Sweden, is being menaced by unidentified aggressors using known Islamic State methods and symbols. Local police are investigating the threats, but so far have found nothing.

The town of Gothenburg is a hotbed for jihadist recruiting, and the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet earlier this year reported that at least 150 people had left the city to join the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Terrorism expert Magnus Ranstorp has called Gothenburg “the Swedish Center for Jihadists,” and the town with a population of a half million has contributed more fighters to ISIS than the entire United States of America.

On Tuesday, Swedish Assyrian Markus Samuelsson found the walls of his restaurant in Gothenburg covered in jihadist graffiti, including messages of “Convert or Die” and “The Caliphate is Here.”

These same messages, along with the ISIS logo and the Arabic letter ن, were painted on the walls of the Le Pain François bakery and the next-door pizzeria as well, though other, non-Assyrian owned restaurants were left untouched.

“I felt a sudden chill down my spine. It’s terribly painful, we feel threatened,” Samuelsson, who owns Le Pain François, told DN.

The Assyrian Church of the East is one of the oldest branches of Christianity, with roots dating back to the 1st century AD. Assyrian Christians speak Aramaic, the language of Jesus, and have their origins in ancient Mesopotamia, a region that extends across northern Iraq, north-east Syria and south-eastern Turkey.

And I think that --- unlike Norwegians --- Swedes generally don't have guns. The Assyrian Christians had better get some.

It's hard to even imagine the depravity that is the Islamic State.

It’s like a horror movie. Just when you think you’re safe, the evil dude shows up again.

Have them call Angela Merkel for help. She invited the Muslim invasion of Europe.

Find me a muslim with a ‘mind’ to change. The bullet would enter an empty cavity. Ever hear of a muslim with a brain injury? Ever wonder why not?

Time for some good old fashioned Viking justice!

Come on my Nordic friends. It’s time to drink out of the barbaric Islam skulls

You can program a robotic weapon to kill indiscriminately. The action it takes is evil from the human perspective. It does not have a perspective (mind) one way or the other.

Muslims are programmed by the Koran. The Koran is a book. Like the robogun it is a thing. Neither good nor evil. The weapons of the koran act with programming, not thought. What they do is likewise evil as humans see it.

No mind is in evidence. Just a robot carrying out a program.

I wonder how many in the halls of power are now secretly beginning to understand the wisdom in letting Mubarak, Ghadaffi, Assad (maybe Hussein) remain in charge.

I don’t think the West fully grasps the “culture” of the ME. Although they’re beginning to see it now in Europe. Up close and personal

I think it’s more than that. I think they know perfectly what they’re doing. The ensuing chaos will give them an excuse to do lots of things ‘we’ wouldn’t allow them to do otherwise. Beginning with lots (and I do mean lots) of new police powers.

Untrue, in every sense.

The koran (note lower case) is a book written by an evil man HIS evil is what continues.

If a robot is programmed to kill innocent people say like a JDAM targeted at a Sunday School pick nick it the Chain of command of HUMANS that committed the evil.

Saying thy have no minds makes them not moraly culpable for there deeds, and Sir all people are and will always bee culpable for their deeds.

Not only don't they have guns, Swedes have no balls. They will pretend they don't even know this is happening, just like they pretend their daughters and wives are not being raped by animals.

The author has been dead a thousand years. Sure he was pure evil.

The automitons that act out his commands in the koran do so without thought or question. Thats what madrasas and mosques do. They mindwipe any thought from muslims and creat auto-droids that act without question, kill without question, rape without question or anything in the book. Without thought ans without question.

Now all semikidding aside about their actual posession of a brain, All of them work like the borg. A collective conscious at best. Thats what their entire life is. A hive mind. There isn’t individuality in the western sense. Sore they have another name after the obligatory “Mohammed” but they are not like you and I. They arent like a den of foxes. They arent like a pack of wolves. They most closely act like a malignant cancer that destroys without ...thought.

I would also point out that cancer isn’t morally culpable either. You don’t deal with issues of morality with cancer. You eradicate it from the body.

If you have ever had any discussion with a true believer muslim, you will know how brainwashed they are. There is no hope for them, therefore they need to be put down like rabid dogs.

What I don’t get is why people refuse to take them at face value. If a ...

Black, Mexican, Nigerian, German, Frenchman, Japanese man, Chineese man, Russian, Canadian or Australian followed a faith that they believed to their core and that faith told them to kill you because you are not ‘of the body’...

Any sane person would say “You know, I’m gonna believe him.” and act accordingly.

But not muslims. Even right wingers refuse to call a spade a spade most often. And thats why most, including right wingers, will be raped and killed by them. Because they believe in themselves.
