Dhimmi watch:-September 21, 2004 The situation in Sweden Recently I posted a series of translations from Swedish papers, made for Jihad Watch by Ali Dashti, about the situation in Malmø. The story got a great deal of attention, as none of it was reported by the media elite. However, I was contacted yesterday by a woman who told me that a Swedish speaker had questioned the veracity of Ali Dashti`s translations.
As it turns out, they were more summaries than word-by-word translations ? I didn`t know this at the time I posted them, and I apologize for any misapprehension. However, Ali Dashti is not in the least ready to join the "fake, but accurate" ranks, and brings forward a mountain of new evidence to support the original posting. Here is his reply to the questioner:
I am happy somebody took an interest in what I was telling about Malmø, or Sweden in general. And I hope people write much more about it. I read in Swedish newspapers on a daily basis what is going on in Malmø. I also have friends living there, and people I know who recently left because of the situation. As was quoted in one of my articles, the emigration from the city is higher than it has ever been for several decades. Many of the people who leave state the lack of security as their main reason for leaving. As for the articles I linked to, what I wrote was quotes from the articles as well as my comments after reading perhaps hundreds of stories like these in Swedish. I apologize for not stating that clearly enough, and I will never do that again. That being said, there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with my description of the situation in Malmø. In fact, I probably understated it. Here is an article in Swedish from one of Sweden?s largest national newspapers, called ?Malmø, 24 days in August?. It is a very long and scary list of stabbings, armed robbery, vandalism and pretty much any kind of crime and violence you can think of. The reason why this very politically correct newspaper wrote this article in the first place is because the situation is now so bad that it cannot be ignored any longer:

Even though Malmø is the worst example, you will see the same trends in other major Swedish cities, too. Only a couple of days ago, city buses in a suburb of Stockhom had to be cancelled and rerouted, as three windows were smashed by rock throwing. As this was not the first time this had happened, the bus company decided they quite simply could not drive in this area anymore.

Busslinjer i Tensta dras in efter ny stenkastning
Trafikföretaget Connex har fått nog av skadegörelse mot bussar i Tensta i nordvästra Stockholm. Nu dras flera busslinjer in i området, uppger Connex pressjour för Radio Stockholm.
Now, the article doesn?t state the ethnic origins of the perpetrators (Swedish media rarely do), but this happens to be a neighbourhood with a lot of mainly Muslim immigrants. Throwing stones at buses hasn?t been that common in Sweden before. Two out of three new "Swedes" these days are immigrants, most of them Muslims: http://www.spectator.se/stambord/index.php?p=97#comments |
