Fading out

Everybody is entitled to its own opinion. But just for a moment let us concentrate on the word”opinion”. The Webster Dictionary says: “A judgment or belief that is stronger than an impression but less firm than positive knowledge”.
A few days ago I read, an articles out clip, in Canadians Globe & Mail newspaper, titled “Meet the new Swedes” by Margaret Wente. As a journalist she was on a short visit in Malmo, Sweden. During that visit she went around Malmo’s “slums” with Ismail as guide and most likely the main source for the article. He proudly, as she pointed out, tells her; “we have everything here” showing her the swimming pool, soccer field, hockey rink and music school where any child can get free lessons. These areas, today inhabit by immigrants, mostly Muslims, were once most popular and of course most expensive places to live in. Obviously she was more interested getting info about the welfare of Muslims immigrants, neglecting the facts and opinions from domestic Swedes, concluding that despite differences everybody lives in such a harmony. That made me a bit disturbed and I thought I ought to say something about it.

Before I begin, I have to point out a few things. I’m not a racist, I’m not a politician and I’m not against any religion as long as they function without harming anyone else. Without getting in to politic, which is almost unavoidable, I’ll try, without generalizing, to lay out the facts of life seen by average Swedes.


The flow of Muslim immigrants to west Europe started back in the 60’s mainly from former colonial empires in Africa, Asia and Caribbean. At that time to Sweden came mostly the Balkan and Sothern Europe immigrants so called “guest workers”. In the beginning of 80’s with Iran – Iraq war, former Yugoslavia civil war and then Somalia, started the flow of Muslim immigrants so celled “refugees”. Suddenly Muslim religion, nearly unknown to an average citizen, rapidly grew to a second largest religion in Sweden. Becoming the multicultural country Sweden prides on its tolerance. Nonsense! That’s the words of politicians and some of Media Chanel’s.
The “guest workers” came to this country to work. Being offered the jobs, from various companies, they’ve seen the opportunity to increase the economical status they left their home towns and villages in hope that one day they’ll return home as “Mr. Rich”. There were no special benefits given to them and they were highly respected, as good workers, by Swedish society. Certainly, there was a cultural gap but even that became accepted.

The”Refugees”, mostly Muslims, were and still are welcome to this country but on entirely different basis. Being placed in refugee camps, accommodated and waiting for the asylum status outcome, they’re learning about rights and system functionality of this country so they would gain knowledge and use it in the near future. After getting a “green card”, the priority, somehow, isn’t getting a job, and why should be, they get the social welfare help which gives them incomparable level of living than they had in own country. Some of them are going to school, to learn the language, without putting so much effort but they do get paid for it. Next step is; wait five years, be allegeable and become a Swedish citizen. Now the door is wide open. With every two “refugees” comes along at least four “members” of family to this country. Those more educated Muslims would seek jobs at the government posts within communities and by infiltrating make their work much easier to succeed in changing a lot of rules and laws in this country. The fact is, it’s really happening, erection of new Mosques is a daily seen and in its path follows Muslims free schools. The Mosques or free schools are not teaching them about acclimatization in new land and certainly not about the equality and human rights.


The Swedish public schools are being “forced” to recognize Islam and to do some changes of the common rules; as a Muslim you’d be free and excused from attending the class with Christianity theme, its okay to be dressed so just your eyes could be seen, it’s okay to demand filet mignon instead pork chops and so on. In the grown up's world it’s even worse. Now days, operating a public vehicle such as bus, train or even taxi they are allowed to wear turban!! And can you just imagine, as a debate still goes on in parliament, how the Swedish police officer’s appearance is going to be wearing a turban!! The only thing that government is concerned, right now, is the safety while wearing it. With refugees flow from Africa, again Muslims, the law even allows a man to have two or more wives. In some cases they can get an extra apartment (paid by state) just so the man can relax too!! When is it enough? When churches are being forced to close down? When Swedish language becomes a secondary spoken language? When our grand children begin carrying Koran in a schoolbags? Let me tell you if that time comes it is too damn late. Just wonder; would we get any benefits at all if we moved to their countries? The fact is that some of those benefits, here in Sweden the natives aren’t entitled to. Working and paying taxes to the state, throughout their lives, in hope for better, safer and more pleasant retirement they began wondering what hell they get out of it.
If you call them damn Muslim its discrimination – it's against the law.
If they call you damn Swede it's okay.
If you made love with some of their "female" you are probably a dead man – by her family.
If some of them made your daughter pregnant it’s okay – or as they say it “one more Muslim”.
If you made a joke about Allah, as Danish did publicly, you’ll get all Muslims after you.
But they can.


And despite all of that somebody said “living in a harmony”?!
