Stockholm experienced a sixth straight night of riots early Saturday, with cars torched in several immigrant-dominated suburbs, as Britain and the United States warned against travelling to the hotspots.

Nearly a week of unrest, which spread briefly Friday night to the medium-sized city of Örebro 160 kilometres west of Stockholm, have put Sweden’s reputation as an oasis of peace and harmony at risk.
This was said of India but is what Europe is now experiencing from Sweden to UK:
American historian Will Durant: ” The Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. It is a discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilization is a precious good, whose delicate complex of order and freedom, culture and peace, can at any moment be overthrown by barbarians invading from without or multiplying within.”
Arun – Sweden has allowed both the invasion from without and allowing it to grow inside its body as well. Post-WW2 it seemed to be a model society and it’s sad to see how badly it’s screwed itself.
I just checked the website of Svenska Dagbladet, the leading Swedish newspaper along with Dagens Nyheter. I had to scroll long down before I met the news: “21 cars burned in one our in Åkersberga” (25 km from Stockholm city, Åkersberga is not a “suburb”.). A few steps down, the chairman of the social democratic party, Stefan Löfven, said: “The reason is increasing cleavages in the society”.
Once upon a time, a woman was picking up firewood. She came upon a poisonous snake frozen in the snow. She took the snake home and nursed it back to health. One day the snake bit her on the cheek. As she lay dying, she asked the snake, “Why have you done this to me?” And the snake answered, “Look, bitch, you knew I was a snake.” (Natural Born Killers)
