    Yes. I already pointed out how Trump's timeline on this was all off. This is you howling about a chronological "typo" which isn't exactly the most egregious offense ever considering
    the larger picture Trump was discussing.
    But I guess when you cannot dispute the important points one is left to b(*)tch about the minor ones as a consolation prize, of sorts.

    Sweden itself pretends it has no problems in this regard and in fact a police officer there has become something of a folk hero and national figure just by honestly and blatantly discussing Sweden's non assimilating residents
    on social media. So I disagree that just mentioning the problem is counter productive.
    As for "Christian radicalization" I'm not aware of the world wide problem that has caused (this being the 21st century and all) but if the truth is "fear mongering"
    in your view perhaps that says something about you.

    As long as some people are in denial about the problem, and they are, I see no harm in bringing some back to reality. Sorry if that bothers you.

    Actually, it was Hitler trolling the German population about a Jewish threat to take over the world and the Poles on the march to invade Germany.

    My mistake and I shouldn't try to do too many things at once.
    But if the idea that Sweden has a terrorism problem is disputed it shouldn't be. https://www.rt.com/news/340924-sweden-terror-threat-isis/

    Trump's gaffe was pretty bad but his essential message should not be lost because of it.

    When you're told by the police don't go out at night or you'll be raped, every day is a terror attack.

    How dare those refugees get attacked. What is this world coming to when respectable Nazis are being obligated to attack people themselves rather than have the government refuse to let them into the country

    For god's sake nobody let Trump next to a TV when Amazon Prime's series The Man in the High Castle is being streamed. He'll probably want to immediately establish an Alliance with the Nazi government of Great Britain

    Was considering posting a link addressing that police statement myself. Just because the these attacks aren't carried out with guns, or explosives doesn't mean they're not acts of terrorism.

    That was one town over a specific series of incidents over a year ago, I know you are aware of this.

    I envy you. If I said what you just said I would be stamped a racist and deemed guilty of verbal terrorism against the migrants.

    Sunni Muslims immigrants in Sweden are on the roll. They're even posting their rape crimes on the Facebook. And liberals on this forum cheer them on. Shame. You'd be singing a different tune if those hordes got hold of your female family members.


    Alleged gang rape shown on Facebook shocks Sweden

    http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ed-gang-rape-facebook-shocks-sweden/97633012/


    Outrage and shock are spreading across Sweden over a case against three men of foreign origin arrested on suspicion of raping a woman and broadcasting it live on Facebook.

    Swedish authorities said Wednesday that the case against the unidentified men was "growing stronger" amid an increasing backlash against immigrants in a country that took in more asylum seekers per capita than any other nation in Europe last year.

    "There have been cases in Sweden before where crimes have been filmed and publicized on social media but not like this," said Pontus Melander, chief prosecutor in the case in Uppsala, the city where the alleged incident took place in an apartment Jan. 22.

    The gang rape was a hoax and the girl admitted it.

    Trump should seek a job he's qualified for. I'm not sure what that is, but it isn't POTUS.

    the President was correct, sweden has recently become one of the countries where crime has become a regular occurrence due to immigration.

    he does not need to cite this fact.

    The Swedes are laughing at Trump. They think he's demented.
