    Hey guys,

    Just wondering what you think about this?

    While I'm not shocked or surprised that one person jumped him, I'm a bit disturbed by the other Muslims in the room jumping to their feet to shout "Allahu Akbar".

    Absolute mentalists. This mightn't be the "proper Muslim way", but there sure are a lot following this path.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    What were they shouting about "Admiral Ackbar" for?

    Was it a trap?

    Those people do not belong in europe. The police should have at least tasered them.

    As far as I know, Sweden is one of the most atheist and secular countries in Europe and fast becoming one of the most multicultural.

    I'm sure some of you here have read about the rising Muslim population in Malmo, and the issues now facing the region.

    What I sometimes wonder is if multiculturalism can be seen as something of a "soft target" for migrants.

    Can secularism be watered down and twisted to the point that it can actually be exploited by Muslim immigrants?

    Can someone express concern about immigration without being labeled a racist? Surely there is a middle ground between bigoted scumbag fascism and naive PC multiculturalism?

    Meh, it is not really anything to do with concern about multiculturalism. Swedish people have been attacking other Swedish people for centuries. We just notice it more when it fits into the particular narrative of foreigners attacking the native population. When a member of the native population attacks another member of the native population it isn't consider international news.

    It was great seeing that female cop kick someone's ass after they ran in and hit someone's arm. She went for them like an arrow.

    EDIT: Actually that might have been a man with womanly Swedish hair.

    And towards the end, one of the attackers gets floored by another policemanette.

    Now that's the kind of equal opportunities I like to see :)

    It is particularly pleasing to watch based on the way some* women are repressed in the Muslim world.
