Swedish activists clashed with police amid a hail of bottles and fireworks in downtown Stockholm on Saturday as they tried to break through a police line and attack an anti-Islam demonstration.

Police spokesman Kjell Lendgren said around 400 leftists had gathered to heckle the 100-strong demonstration, which was rallying to bring attention to what it perceives is the Islamization of Europe.

He said the leftists shouted and blew vuvuzelas to drown out anti-Islam and nationalist speeches, but then started throwing bottles and lit fireworks at police, injuring two officers.

Lendgren said ten activists were arrested, after which the situation calmed down.

Both the anti-Islam meeting and leftist protest continued peacefully and were scheduled to end at 1600 local (1400GMT).

Nationalist groups such as the English Defence League were instrumental in organizing the anti-Islam event, which was described on the anti-Islam European Freedom Initiative's website as the "first worldwide counter-jihad action."

In the counter protest, local activists called for tolerance and warned of a rise in fascism. They referred to the nationalist groups as "Breivik's foot-soldiers" - a reference to Norwegian ultra-nationalist Anders Breivik who killed 77 people in Norway last year.

Violence...

So the Leftists are really stupid enough to want to be under the Muslim thumb? They obviously are too stupid to read the Islamic literature and realize that Muslims want to be their overlords.

So I guess we can understand how the Left her in the US hate Christians for being against homo "marriage", and yet still defer to Muslims, who hate homosexuality even more. Liberalism is a mental disease.

The West is doomed. Leftist Nazis are giving it away.

[Brad from Tennessee]

In a Muslim-dominated Europe the godless Leftists would be rounded up and exterminated with the Christians and Jews.

The West is doomed. Leftist Nazis are giving it away.

There's no need for the qualification: the Nazis were Left-wingers.

Here's a quote from the man himself.

"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions" -- A. Hitler

great quote!
This is precisely the thinking of the left.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I’ll bet the quote could just as easily come from ‘Bammy himself.

Clearly, leftists find sufficient common cause with the Islamists to riot on their behalf. What might this common cause be? The destruction of the west?

Leftists? ...or Islamists? How many of the leftists were in fact Muslim immigrants? I’d bet quite a few or most. Of course, Sweden does have its share of native leftists who are quite capable of violence by themselves without urgings from Islamists. Further proof of the growing alliance of leftists and Islamists to conquer the civilized world.

Both the anti-Islam meeting and leftist protest continued peacefully...

After you've injured policemen, you are not allowed to label the violent side of the protest as "peaceful", even after the violence stops. You are not allowed to lump the violent protests in with the non-violent one so as to give it the illusion of equivalence. The reporter needs to point out that there were no incidents of violence from the anti-Islam protests.

This is journalistic malpractice.

Qualifying Nazis with the term leftist is redundant, but necessary for pointing out there is no difference. Socialists becomes Nazis once the illusions of Socialism are gone, and they begin acting like Nazis long before their reason catches up to reality. Leftist, from Stalin to Obama to the nanny statists, need to be reminded that they are Nazis.
