Anti-immigrant 'Soldiers of Odin' raise concern in Finland
Reuters ^ | January 13, 2016 | Jussi Rosendahl and Toumas Forsell

Posted on 01/13/2016 2:20:33 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Wearing black jackets adorned with a symbol of a Viking and the Finnish flag, the "Soldiers of Odin" have surfaced as self-proclaimed patriots patrolling the streets to protect native Finns from immigrants, worrying the government and police.

On the northern fringes of Europe, Finland has little history of welcoming large numbers of refugees, unlike neighbouring Sweden. But as with other European countries, it is now struggling with a huge increase in asylum seekers and the authorities are wary of any anti-immigrant vigilantism.

A group of young men founded Soldiers of Odin, named after a Norse god, late last year in the northern town of Kemi. This lies near the border community of Tornio, which has become an entry point for migrants arriving from Sweden....

::Sigh:: A neo-pagan organization named for a false “gxd,” and people are defending it on Free Republic!

So what? Many Christian groups have "turned the other cheek" to these invading hordes of murderers, rapists, plunderers, and destroyers of civilization. Any civilized group that steps up to defend human civilization is welcome, including Christian groups that are not your type.

Your type can go sit in the corner whining about YOUR false beliefs. Your type is worthless when courage and action are required.

You think pagans are "civilized?" You think it doesn't matter what "gxd" one worships?

American conservatives are turning their backs on G-d A-mighty out of racial and civilizational identitarianism. I have news for you. There is ONE G-D Who is in control of everything. He doesn't need "western civilization" or the "white race." But both of those need Him.

There are penalties for turning against G-d to worship one's genes and chromosomes.

"Courage and action" from an anonymous keyboard warrior.

A lot of people on these boards seem to know all about the Almighty's plans, and have plenty of their own suggestions for improving them.

Haven't you heard? "Chrstian" now means "a white person." This means all white people who have ever lived since the creation of the world, no matter which "gxds" they did or didn't worship, are all "good chrstians."

Well, the”good christians “ are too busy bringing in death worshipping Muslims to care about Finnish culture,

Is that what this is about? "Finnish culture?"

Is that what this fight is all about? "Culture?" "Civilization?" Maybe even "race?"

Do you realize you sound exactly like those Black, Hispanic, and Third World Leftists who are always saying "deze are de wayz or our pipplez?" Is the whole point that white people are better? Is that all this is about?

Are you willing to turn your back on G-d A-mighty in order to defend your European "culture?"

"European Culture" isn't the beginning and end of everything. G-d was here long before there was a "European culture." Did Adam and Eve represent "European culture" any more than any other culture? Did Noah board the Ark to defend European culture?

American conservatives are making a grave error. They are flirting with turning their backs on G-d because they worship their ancestors instead. Just what do you think we are being punished for in the first place???

You think by apologizing for European paganism you are defending "Western civilization." You're not. You're dooming it to the wrath of the One True G-d.

YOU are a fruitcake if you think welcoming millions of young men dedicated to islamic domination of the world is somehow what God wants us to do.

And which culture worldwide is the one with most of the advances in science,medicine,economics,and personal freedom ?

When did I ever say it was?

Do you think G-d is an idea Europeans invented? Do you think He's some sort of mythical Santa Claus figure that symbolizes "Western civilization?"

Do you believe in G-d at all?

Do you consider ancient Biblical Israel--the only true Theocracy in the history of the world--an "alien oriental despotism?" Would you rather live in ancient pagan Europe than there???

Actually that’s not “wrong”. Europeans under their original pagan religions were nowhere near as maniacally murderous as Muslims.

God gave us brains and free will.

I believe in God.

But I have a real hard time with all the stoning,wiping out whole peoples(excepting the virgin girls),never cutting one’s hair or beard, and a few other Old Testament things.The world has seen many false priests enrich themselves of power,control, and worldly wealth by proclaiming “God wants you to do THIS thing”.

You're missing a very important point (or else you disagree with it): right and wrong are determined by G-d's Laws, not by human reason or moral instincts alone. Regardless of how many or how few murders ancient Europeans committed, they were all guilty of idolatry, a crime according to universal Noachide Law. If you think that this doesn't matter, that only how we treat each other matters, then you are essentially a liberal.

If islam were the true religion (G-d forbid!), then we would all be obligated to observe it and all its laws. Whatever the true religion is, we are all obligated by it. One religion came before all its competitors and was founded publicly by G-d Himself, and not by any "prophet" or "gxd-man" claiming to speak on His behalf. That religion is Judaism.

The Torah commands Israel to exterminate eight different nations from the earth: the Seven Nations of Canaan, and `Amaleq. The first seven have been exterminated; the eighth one will be. When G-d commands something, it is a sin to disobey. It is a sin to kill when it is forbidden by G-d; it is a sin not to kill when it is commanded by G-d. This goes against eighteenth century "enlightenment" rationalism, but then, eighteenth century "enlightenment" rationalism is wrong.

I suggest you read the front of your bible to see whether you accept the True G-d or not. If you don't, I don't doubt that you'll happily crawl back to the `avodah zarah of our miserable ancestors.

So you think the Bible is the work of posers who were just seeking power over people--essentially the same as liberals and atheists.

No wonder you're such a fan of neopaganism.

When did it become a bad thing to preserve the culture and ethic and racial commonality of a nation or people?

It's not a bad thing so long as people don't try to make an idol of it or worship a "national 'gxd'" other than HaShem or try to usurp the place of the objectively chosen people.

Whatever.

The problem with Communism is not that it produces mass misery or is guilty of mass murder. The problem is that it is a non-Theistically based moral/ethical system. Which makes it not one bit different from racialism or civilizationalism or objectivism or any other non-Theistically based moral/ethical system.

The whole point: G-d determines what is right and wrong. Period.

“There are penalties for turning against G-d to worship one’s genes and chromosomes.”

So what would you propose to do with the 7th century savages.? Ask them to attend “Its not nice to rape and kill your host countries citizens”? Perhaps if you placate them with your money and homes and the lives of others the crocodile will eat you last.
