No, not really...
Not unless it shows some dramatic terrorist occurrence happening in Sweden, on Friday, Feb 19, 2017...

Because that imprecision of speech created an international incident.

I know you are willing to forgive stupidity and lack of diplomacy, for the general idea...  but, the world isn't...
Words matter...
What you say has consequences... that, is diplomacy...
A precision of words... and facts... that build trust, and respect...

Sweden, is a leader in refugee cause,  emboldening others to accept the small risk to save millions of innocent lives..... and its government and people are willing to stand up for that cause,....while Trump has us cowering in fear...

We ain't what we used to be...
Right Wing butterflies are huddled under a nationalist safety blanket wanting walls and barriers and immigration bans to keep America safe above all else... hiding behind Lady Liberty's coattails...

Remember when we were the strong, brave, proud leaders of the free world?...

The word "butterfly" cuts so well for the Right, because it reflects their own shame...
This entire administration's policy, platform, raison d'etre, is fear based, nationalism...
A bunch of chicken hawk, butterflies...
...and the world snickers at our cowardice...

Every time you throw out the "butterfly" accusation,.. think about that...
Walls, blocking immigration, fear of terrorists, fear of Mexicans, Muslims, fear of Liberals, the press, science, facts...  fear, fear, fear...

Trump's entire campaign was selling fear.... that's what nationalism is...
Fear of everything that ain't just like you...
He's not only made you believe that, he's made you proud of it...


PS... I get a lot of criticism for my short, sarcastic, posts...  do you like the long one's better?...
...    

The finger spelling spasm?... I did...
May be some others... I'm typing fast...

JOG... your source is some guy no one's ever heard of, on YouTube, compiling a mishmash of clips..
(I saw a guy attacked with a snowball, and another chased by a wheelchair)...

My source is the Prime Minister of Sweden and the Swedish people...
Not a microcosm,.... a macrocosm...

Selective examples do not make a complete picture... any more than "I know a guy, who knows a guy"...



Russia once did a "documentary",... showing breadlines in America, .. lines out the door and down the street...
I forget the exact truth... but the line was really for a record lottery ticket, or football match or something... not for bread...
Not begging for bread,... but for spending money...
The point is.. a picture tells a thousand words,.. but they may not be facts...

Sew, you've accused Trump of misleading with his comments to fit his narrative. Has it occured to you the officials in Sweden are doing the same to advance / defend their agenda?

And I still say if this were being done by Christians against gays, your responses would be off the chart.

Sweden is experiencing severe problems because of their policies. You can sugar coat it all you want but Sweeds are increasingly become unhappy with the arrangement. I told you, our HQ is there, i talk to people there frequently. That neighborhood when the riots occurred are about 2 miles from the hotel we stay in when we send people there.

There are people here,... burning down Mosques, and vandalizing Jewish graves...(maybe Christians?)...
... and I am off the charts about it...
...and I would be off he chart if Muslims did it too...
...or even Atheists...

My neighbourhood seems to be a settling place for Muslims... I've seen an increase in hijabs here.  I'd guess they are now 5 to 10% of my neighbours.
They are quiet, polite, and I don't fear them...
If anything, I feel protective of them.
There are a percentage of gun totin', Trumpeteers here too... I think they are more dangerous...

They are quiet, polite, and I don't fear them...
If anything, I feel protective of them.

I wonder if The Ohio State University students felt that same way right before they got run over with a car and then slashed with a knife.

Or did the shoppers at the St. Cloud Mall, which has become a settling place for Muslims too, feel protective of them right before they were hunted down and stabbed in the mall.

Or did the diners at the deli in Columbus feel that way while dodging a machete being swung at them.

I think between those three, 24 were stabbed or run over. Luckily, no one died which I guess in some warped way gives you fodder to make fun of Trump for thinking we ought to do something about that.

Honestly, people protesting what seems to me are logical and common sense steps to control a potential danger, are willing to cut off their nose to spite their face. It's like they've said, "well some of us are going to get run over, some will get stabbed, and maybe a couple will die, but dammit, we've got to have something to show a win over the Republicans."

These are terror attacks, they are not crimes.
Crimes are committed out of selfish motives, terror attacks are committed out of an ideology intended to disrupt the everyday lives of their enemies.
