Sweden: From "Humanitarian Superpower" to Failed State

Sweden's
"December Agreement" may be fairly described as a soft coup
d'état; it has paved the way for Sweden's demise. Six of the eight
political parties in parliament have simply decided to exclude from the
parliamentary process the only party to oppose mass immigration and defend
Swedish culture. The new system may also be described as a consensual
dictatorship.
The price
tag for immigration is possibly 110 billion Swedish kroner (close to $14
billion) per year. That is a lot of money in a country with 10 million
inhabitants. The politicians, however, keep insisting that immigration from
third-word countries is an economic boon. Nor is it discussed in the media. Anyone
even daring to mention that there may be a problem is labeled a
"racist," a "fascist," or a "xenophobe."
One may
safely predict that Sweden's goose will be cooked well before the December
Agreement runs out in 2022. Its days as a free and democratic welfare state
will be over. A population of perhaps eight million Swedes cannot accommodate
and pay for perhaps four million such immigrants in eight years. It is as if
the U.S. were to accept 150 million.
As Europe braces itself for new terror attacks, its political
establishments face a choice: Will they finally start listening to their
citizens' growing concerns over Muslim mass immigration and the spread of
political Islam, or will they dig in and try to perpetuate decades of failed
multicultural policies?
Sweden, perhaps leading the way, seems to have chosen the latter. As
part of the country's so-called December Agreement, six of the eight
political parties represented in parliament (Riksdagen) have simply
decided to exclude the Sweden Democrats [SD] -- the only party to oppose mass
immigration and defend Swedish culture -- from the parliamentary process.
Are British Salafists Gaming the System?

Claystone,
however, is no ordinary think-tank. It is run by an imam who says that Osama
bin Laden was a "martyr" who would enter paradise, and describes
Jews as "apes and pigs" and "enemies of God."
One of
the more important ways to fight extremism -- and isolate those who
radicalize young Muslims -- is to stop providing extremist groups with public
funding and the cloak of political and academic legitimacy.
On January 6, British MP Yasmin Qureshi hosted the launch in the House
of Commons of a report by the lobby group Claystone. The report, entitled,
"Rethinking Radicalization and Extremism," argues that
"extremist ideology" is not the root cause of terrorism, yet
it posits that proposed government legislation to limit freedom of expression
(for extremists) is expected to galvanize recruits to terrorist causes.
Claystone has received a great deal of press in the past few months. In
November 2013, the British media widely reported the release of another
Claystone study, which claimed that Muslim charities were subject to unjust
scrutiny because of suspicions they were "involved in radicalisation and
extremism." The study, which was featured on both the front page and
editorial section of The Times, relied exclusively on Claystone's
report. The Times described Claystone as "a London-based
think-tank specializing in Muslim issues."
