    Fake News Source

    The Duran is an online news and opinion source with a strong right wing bias. There is evidence they have posted misleading information and they have perpetuated some conspiracies. The source does produce legitimate news with a right wing bias, so we will not place them in the conspiracy category at this time

    The only no-go zones exist in the swiss-cheese brains of the Alt Right and far right nationalists.

    When the vikings divided up Scandinavia, the Norwegians opted for the oil.
    They don't call them dumb Swedes for nothing.

    The Duran is not part of the MSM corporate news... which is a plus. So they're not stenographers writing what they're told, they're real journalists and give their own opinions and analysis of events. If they find their sources were not reliable, they will apologize ...something you're not going to get from the MSM. (Which I never read anyway).

    It's a Cypriot registered paper by English writers, and it prints news articles that interest me without the usual Western slant. I like it. Yesterday the Duran apologized for printing articles by a writer whose existence was questioned after being investigated by Zero Hedge.

    That is why Sweden is going to invade and rule Norway and Scotland. Easy pickings.

    They are nothing of the sort; indeed, they are mouth pieces for RUssia and far right causes.

    That's funny! Actually the Norwegian were smart, they settled the demarcation of the territorial waters with Russia quickly, and have been enjoying the fruits ever since.

    You cannot use reason and critical thinking here. The Duran and Zerohedge are the most reliable sources out there, especially if I'm too blind/dumb/childish to search for myself.

    You are wasting your time with these right wing comics their views are never based on fact or rationale thinking just made up emotional fiction..I was in Sweden last week it seems most Americans know more than those of us who live here, we must be living in a different Europe ..completely exaggerated nonsense there is some concern about immigration but no go zones :truce:? these right wingers need to get out the basement, take off their baby nappies and travel ..Europeans are much more concerned about economic matters than bearded boogie men.

    Every newspaper and journalist has its slant of course, and that's the way it should be. The reason I stopped reading the MSM is that they all follow the corporate line, and if anyone dared write differently, it destroyed their career.

    I assume with the Greek names, that they are ethnically Cypriots, which would explain why they have a more objective opinion of Russia and why they haven't fallen into the Russiaphobe narratives.

    You don't know sheet about Islam, do you? Why don't you ask the Austrians, who barely escaped the fall of Vienna under the Turks? Or perhaps the Balkan nations who lived under Islam for centuries and still cannot overcome Islamic PTSD (the word "balkanization" rings any bells?)? How about Spanish people who banished Muslims after 800 years of Islamic multiculturalism on the Iberian peninsula?

    A Swede posted a video of an interview of a Swedish soldier. He was asked if they were ready should Russia invade. He said of course, we made hotel reservations in Oslo.

    So what ? I don't need to go to antartica to know it's cold or in Sahara to know it's hot. I'm able to read too.

    The irony is, if Russia ever invaded Sweden, it would be to save it from the Islamic churkas/thugs.

    OP is fake news. Amateurishly so.

    My problem is the fact that the Duran intentionally misquoted the Prime Minister in your OP. What's weird is they linked to his actual statement in the article. Here is what he actually stated below

    STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Sweden will do whatever it takes, including sending in the army, to end a wave of gang violence that has seen a string of deadly shootings, Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said in Wednesday.

    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...se-of-army-to-end-gang-violence-idUSKBN1F629L

    No mention of no go zones there. That is his direct quote and the Duran reporter changed the last sentence to say No Go zones. Very shady and inexcusable.

    Good journalism would have been to keep the quote legit then provide proof or mention with detail that the gangs performing the violence was being done by Muslim gangs in Muslim neighborhoods. Soooo.

    OP is Fake news I'm satisfied.

    I'm an European and it's a real concern. Furthermore, about economics, the total failure to integrate muslims, either from a citizenship point of view aswell economic create a burden for economies who welcomed them.
    They're not the only reasons of economical problems, the EU is a monumental economic failure and years of laxism let to many countries a huge debt.
