Hollywood scraps filming after Malmö Jews alert

From The Local.Se

A Hollywood film company was planning to set a movie with a Jewish theme in Skåne in southern Sweden but changed its mind due to concerns over anti-Semitism in Malmö.

The Öresund Film Commission, a Swedish-Danish cooperation helping foreign film companies seeking to film in the Öresund region, received an email from the Hollywood firm in February which raised concerns over the safety of the Jewish community, according to a report in the local Sydsvenskan daily.

”Only problem I see with this project… is the huge problem that this being a Jewish story and that the Simon Wiesenthal center in the USA called the south of Sweden a VERY unsafe place for the Jewish community,” the email read.

The Simon Wiesenthal Centre in December 2010 issued a travel warning urging Jews to exercise “extreme caution” when traveling in southern Sweden.

The warning came following an escalation of attacks directed against Malmö Jews and remarks from Malmö mayor Ilmar Reepalu perceived to lay the blame on the city’s Jewish community for failing to denounce Israel.

Mikael Svensson at the Öresund Film Commission expressed surprise over the film company’s email and its decision to find an alternative location.

“I have followed the debate, but never thought that it could spread to the film industry and this type of decision,” he told the newspaper.

Skåne has become an established location for Swedish and international film makers with several films based in and around the cities of Malmö and Ystad, such as the criminal detective series “Wallander“, starring Kenneth Branagh.

HÖGSBY KILLING RETRIAL

Parents guilty of Högsby 'honour' killing: court

Parents guilty of Högsby ‘honour’ killing: court

Published: 5 Jul 11 11:26 CET |

The parents of the 23-year-old man previously convicted of the murder of 20-year–old Abbas Rezai, are guilty of the crime, according to Göta Court of Appeal, sentencing them both to ten years in prison.

Rezai was found dead in an apartment in Högsby in southern Sweden in November 2005.

Police revealed at the time that he had been scalded with hot oil, hit with a variety of objects, and repeatedly stabbed in the back and chest, with the majority of the wounds sustained after his death.

He was also almost entirely scalped and one of his fingers had been partially chopped off.

The man was allegedly killed because of his relationship with the family’s 16-year-old daughter.

Her brother, 17 at the time, was convicted, whilst the girl’s parents, who were initially implicated, were acquitted, despite police claiming that it was almost impossible that the boy could have acted alone.

However, a few years after his conviction, the son changed his story, now pointing the finger of blame at his parents for the murder.

The parents denied all charges saying that their son was behind the deed and that he has only changed his story, as he is afraid he will be deported to Afghanistan after his sentence is through.

But the sister and another relative in Denmark, who also claimed that the son of the family had wrongly convicted as the sole perpetrator, supported the now 23-year-old son’s claim.

The Court of Appeal followed their line and convicted both he mother and the father of murder. They will be deported from Sweden.

The 23-year-old was convicted of accessory to murder and will serve one year and four months in a high security juvenile detention centre.

He will not be deported from Sweden.

 

 

Swedish fire service sued over affirmative action

Posted on by

I can’t believe it has taken so long for something so obviously reasonable to happen. We all need to hope this suit is successful. Reason must prevail over twisted hate filled ideology designed to destroy Western institutions and civilization. After all, you never hear about affirmative action for white people on basketball teams. Or for midgets. Or for black guys to work at Chinese restaurants. No, affirmative action only applies when you want to make sure a less qualified person takes the job of a white person, ideally a white male, anywhere in the Western world.

From The Local.Se

 

Södertörn’s fire department, just south of Stockholm, is being sued for actively choosing to hire women and people with foreign background, according to Sveriges Radio (SR).

The fire deparment’s gender and ethnicity quota became an unpleasant surprise for Simon Wallmark, who was informed that despite having trained as a firefighter, he was not encouraged to apply for a summer job, on account of being Swedish and male.

“The response I got from Södertörn was that I wasn’t qualified to apply for the summer jobs, because the jobs were reserved for women and people with an immigrant background,” said Simon Wallmark to SR.

He agrees that there is a need for more women and immigrants in the field, but argues that the recruiting should be done some other way.

Out of the 32 people finally hired by the fire department, 10 lacked the relevant education for the job.

The case is now being taken to court by Stockholm-based Centre for Justice (Centrum för Rättvisa).

“This is a case of a Swedish man who has been denied the same chances as others, just on account of being a Swedish man” Anna Rogalska-Hedlund, lawyer at Centre for Justice, told SR. Continue Reading →

The police station in Malmö district Rosengård, in the south of Sweden, was fired upon early Saturday morning.

“At 4:29 a.m. police on location alerted us about the gunshots,” Hanna Berndtsson, Skåne police information officer, told the TT news agency.

No one was physically injured by the shooting.

“There were police officers on the second floor of the building, but the shots were fired towards the first floor, so there were no injuries.”

Security at the police station has now been tightened, and a forensic investigation squad is on location to find out what happened.

Thus far the forensic investigation has revealed that live ammunition was used in the shooting, and therefore an attempted murder probe has been initiated, according to the Malmö police force.

At this moment the police have no information about the type of weapon used, or the reason for the shooting.

“We don’t know the origins of all this yet,” said Hanna Berndtsson.

Rosengård, centrally located in Malmö, is an area commonly associated with social difficulties, and has been the place of several riots and clashes between local youths and authorities in recent years.

Sweden: Court confirms ‘honour killing’ sentence

Court confirms ‘honour killing’ sentence

Published: 23 May 11 14:50 CET |

A Swedish appeals court has confirmed the 18 year prison sentence served to a man in Katrineholm in eastern Sweden for the murder of his adoptive daughter in a so-called honour killing.

The Svea Court of Appeal confirmed the sentence passed to Subhi Othman by Nyköping district court in March.

62-year-old Othman had admitted to killing his daughter in November 2010.

Othman stabbed his daughter on the stairs of the family home in Katrineholm after which he gave himself up to the police.

In interviews he explained that he had killed her as he considered her lifestyle to be “indecent” and that he was faced with no other alternative in order to protect the family honour.

When police arrived on the scene, they found his daughter lying in the foetal position at the bottom of the stairs. She had been stabbed 53 times.

According to a report in the Aftonbladet daily, Othman began hating his daughter after her husband had filed for divorce. Behind the divorce petition was a rumour of infidelity.

The 21-year-old woman and her three-year-old daughter had moved from Gothenburg to Katrineholm, in central Sweden, to live with her parents following the divorce.

The district court found that the murder had been premeditated and especially brutal.

The man will be extradited from Sweden as soon as he has served his sentence.

Demon Mosque: Islamic Hezbollah flag fluttering among the Leftists


Demonstrations in Gothenburg, Sweden over New Mosque

MOSQUE DEMON Do you see the yellow flag in the picture below from the demonstrations on Saturday? The Islamist Hezbollah (Shiite) which controls Lebanon. Hezbollah has close relations with Iran and both hate Israel and see the country as an illegal state and non-nation.

More pictures of Hezbollah

Six countries, including the United States and Britain, officially lists Hezbollah or its military wing as a terrorist organization, but it is not defined as such by the EU or the UN. Hezbollah’s military wing is suspected to be behind bomb attacks against American and French peacekeeping troops during the Lebanese civil war, the bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires and the hijacking of TWA Flight 847 June 14, 1985, which was flying from Athens bound for Rome.

According to Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet, 13 July 2006, Hezbollah has been given its heavy military equipment from Iran, including rocket artillery and anti-ship missiles, which came into use during the fighting with Israel, July-August 2006th This military supplies shipped through Syria to southern Lebanon, which requires the Syrian government’s active participation.

NOTE:

Look at the other pics at the Mosque demonstration here. Remember folks, Hezbollah is a real terrorist organization, the bad guys, whose differences with that of al-Qaida, is in the width of a hair. KGS

Police said that there are concerns that they are being watched. None injured as PI know but a part Gothenburger threatened by the ghetto gangs and extreme left.

New car fires erupt in Gothenburg suburb

Posted on by

From The Local.Se

More cars were set alight in the Gothenburg suburbs on Tuesday night as violence plagued the outskirts of the western Swedish town for the second night in a row.

At least four cars were in flames in Västra Frölunda late Tuesday night, while police and emergency crews faced stone-throwing young people who also pointed green lasers at officers who attempted to deal with the situation.

“My girlfriend saw several young people throw a Molotov cocktail at a car,” one eyewitness told the Aftonbladet newspaper.

Later in the evening, police also received a call that a small cabin and several cars were burning in nearby Hisingen, the newspaper reported.

“One person has been taken to hospital; he had a minor injury to his leg. We don’t know how he got the injury,” Lars Tunefjord of the Gothenburg police told the TT news agency.

Two tram cars were also damaged by rock-throwers during the episode and small fires were also set at an area school.

Two young men were arrested later in the evening on suspicion of aggravated vandalism and were set to be questioned overnight.

According to police, five cars were totally destroyed on Tuesday night, while several more were damaged.

The incident follows a wave of car fires which took place in Västra Frölunda on Monday light.

Muslim population in Western Europe rising

Posted on by

IB NEWS… The population of Muslims in Western Europe has been steadily rising in recent decades, largely due to immigration from the Middle East, South Asia and North Africa.

In Southeastern Europe, much of which once formed part of the Ottoman Empire, Muslims have been present for many centuries, but they are a relatively new phenomenon in the western part of the continent.

On the whole, Muslim’s represent about 5 percent of the population of the EU 27.

Far-right politicians in Europe have long warned that the Muslim numbers will continue to grow due to higher birth rates. Marine Le Pen, the head of France’s anti-immigrant National Front party, who openly discusses the rising number Muslims in France, could conceivably win next year’s presidential election, according to polls.

While the percentage of Muslims as part of the overall population of western European nations are in single digits, a 2009 study by the Telegraph newspaper in the UK estimated that by 2050, Muslims will account for 20 percent of the European Union’s populace. Long before that, Britain, Spain and The Netherlands will reach and surpass that figure. Continue Reading →

Arrest sparked wave of Gothenburg car fires

Arrest sparked wave of Gothenburg car fires

Police in Gothenburg revealed on Wednesday that the torching of several cars in the suburb of Backa over the past few nights was in touched off due to a police action.

More than twenty cars were set alight in recent nights, including a police car and a security guard’s car and police now believe the fires are connected to an arrest made on Sunday night.

The arrest came after a patrol car followed two suspects fleeing on a motorcycle.

The motorcycle and the car collided in a roundabout and the two suspects were injured.

When police apprehended one of the two, he allegedly said, “This is not the last you hear of this”.

“We believe that was what started it. But when we are catching criminals red-handed and it is seen as police aggression, that makes me worried,” said Lars Klevensparr, head of the police in the greater Gothenburg area, to news agency TT.

On Wednesday police in the area upgraded the incident to a more severe level, which enables them to call on all the resources to combat the problem.

“The cost doesn’t matter. We’ll deal with the bill afterwards,” said Klevensparr to TT.

According to the police those responsible for the car first are 20-30 youths between the ages of 18 to 30. Despite wearing hoods to disguise their faces, most are already known to the police.

According to local newspaper Göteborgs Posten (GP), local residents are appealing to authorities to calm things down in the area, which they believe has become increasingly plagued by lawlessness over the last ten years.

“The police are too lenient. They should take a strong line against these youngsters. As it is, they are just laughing at the police,” one resident told GP.

In the last two to three years, things seem to have gone from bad to worse.

“To me it is completely incomprehensible that such a small group of 10-20 people are managing to terrorize a whole neighbourhood through their total lawlessness, “ another resident said.

Things were reportedly calm in Backa on Wednesday following a greater police presence in the area.

“We’ll be around here in Backa a lot more in the near future. We’re not just talking to the youngsters but everyone, young and old. We’re doing everything we can to keep the area calm,” said Björn Mattson of the local police to GP.
