These border control comments are cracking me up:
"Sweden, like a silly high school girl who goes on facebook and announces that her parents are out of town and that she’s having a party, is learning the hard way of the consequences of inviting the world into its home."

Sweden is a silly high school girl with The World as her friend, but trouble lurks nearby.

Yes, the bemanningsföretag reform was a terrible decision in hindsight and the unions should have known better. However, its not impossible to see why they (and most of the modern world) got swept up in thinking it was a good idea at the time.

Svea är en liten tjej med jättelånga flätor

Men så en dag hon möter muslimer

Hon blir en kämpe, ja en hjältinna

Ett öde som hon inte riktigt kan förstå

Well, it is more a case about her being "holier than thou" while actually being a hypocrite.
She seems like the person that consider herself as a smart person and always in the right, while being somewhat impervious to critique and probably also causes her stupid comments.
She was a part of Attac before the Gothenburg riots, so she have a history of bad decisions.
As for the current mess, Wallström haven't proven herself to be that smart either when it comes to commenting it.

While I don't hate her, I would find it completly hilarious if Romson got kicked out off her seat as environmental minister before the big meeting in Paris.

Anyways, as some reports come in that one of the attackers had a Syrian passport and was registered as arriving in Greece in October, I am predicting that the current immigration crisis is going to take a new turn and Turkey is going to get smacked around for letting IS terrorist through.

Is anyone here in this thread actually surprised at that? A few of them are bound to get through to Europe among the hundreds of thousands of refugees, there isn't anything that you can do about it. If you don't close the external borders of the European Union that is. What worries me more is that some of the attackers are actually from Belgium, so the group was a mix of people from France, Belgium and possibly Syria and Egypt, as far as we can tell at the moment. Considering the fact that they had suicide vests, grenades and automatic rifles, it means a level of organization that is frankly a little bit scary to think about.

Even more worryingly, usually after an attack like this the head of states come out and say something along the lines of "let's not jump into any conclusions, stay calm, don't act out your anger". Nothing like this was said by ANY head of state as far as I can tell. I stayed up until 4 AM watching and reading the news, and Hollande had a look of a man who is preparing for war.

It looks like the entire political elite of the Western world (and possibly also Russia) underestimated the determination and resources of radical Sunni islamists, who are perfectly happy to kill everyone who is not them, including other muslims. The problem is that no one will view the matter like this in Europe. Decades of "progressive left" labeling any criticism of radical Islam or counter-extremism as islamophobia hasn't helped the matter, either.

I think things are going to get very ugly in the coming months.

Well yes, but that means that the extremists have already twisted our arm and gained an advantage; they've put a leading Western European country in a situation where they are pretty much forced to be aggressive, no other option is even on the table. In other words, pour more fuel into the fire. Since we are not homicidal maniacs, we lose in the long term even if we win some short term battles here and there and they will thrive in this situation. Repeat ad infinitum.

Sounds like a great plan. We know from history that invading and bombing a Middle-Eastern country works so well and absolutely does not produce a few generations of angry, desperate people who would like to see our entire continent burn. Did they also perhaps say that we should just nuke the entire territory controlled by Daesh? Because you know it's quicker than bombing runs and jet fuel is rather expensive.

Who am I kidding, news already broke that US and France have decided to increase air strikes against ISIS.

So following the cultural enrichment France received the other day, I read this interesting piece on IS. It's a good read, like the funny-scary insight that IS fighters are basically larping the Muslim version of Left Behind and the scholar saying that claims about IS being "not Islamic" are PC nonsense (they read the Koran literally, invoke it constantly and let it direct every aspect of their daily lives - their ideology is purestrain Islam as dictated and practiced by the pedo-prophet himself). There's also the bit about how most salafists are not jihadists like IS and don't approve of spreading Islam by the sword, which doesn't mean they are less commited to the establishment of Sharia in a global umma however. They just think it should be done in a more covert and gradual manner (like say, demographic displacement), which shows the naivety of dumb notions like "the refugees [not that most immigrants even qualify for that status] are fleeing IS' terror, of course they want to embrace our post-Enlightenment values like religious and political pluralism." :downs:

And then there's this:

quote:

Choudary said Sharia has been misunderstood because of its incomplete application by regimes such as Saudi Arabia, which does behead murderers and cut off thieves’ hands. “The problem,” he explained, “is that when places like Saudi Arabia just implement the penal code, and don’t provide the social and economic justice of the Sharia—the whole package—they simply engender hatred toward the Sharia.” That whole package, he said, would include free housing, food, and clothing for all, though of course anyone who wished to enrich himself with work could do so.
