What would have happened had the police not arrived in time, Allah only knows. By the way, the man was under threat of court punishment for instigation feud, but luckily the guy was lucky. A bit later, I was reading about how, at the beginning of February, pro-ISIS flyers had been distributed in Knivsta commune calling to destroy the unbelievers. The court judged this was not instigation of mass murder of non-Muslims, nor instigation of hatred against an ethnic entity.
Oh, one more story, unbelievable as they come – recently, a company mediating interpreters to Swedish Migration Board banned their staff from wearing crosses. To substantiate, they said the symbol of faith demonstrating a religious preference had upset the asylum seekers – by that, the officials were allegedly displaying their attitude towards Moslems, considering Christianity more important than Islam. Crazy, isn’t it? Alas: whatever the feelings triggered in the interpreter by the burqas and scarves of those desiring to be Swedes, no one no longer cares in Sweden... . Thankfully, the translation bureau cancelled the stupid rule after it reached the media.
By the way, when it comes to the apartment market, the Swedish Migration Board has cleaned it out – for young native Swedes, leaving parental home is an impossibility, as they have nowhere to move. But at the moment this is not an issue as priority regarding new apartments is given to choosy asylum seekers (rather often, the latter may be demanding ever larger and comfier spaces, better location, national food, climate etc) and the wives, children, uncles, aunts etc etc soon to follow.
Endlessly, one might write about the enriching effects of multikulti.
My heart is not of stone – as a white European lady, compassion is in by my Mother’s milk. Still, common Estonian sense combined with caution regarding strangers will override the urge to save the whole world. Good intentions may have a bad end – no matter that an Estonian minister, in the election campaign, was seeking to showcase the Nordics as a bride especially desirable.
