We have been pointing this out for years, but Stefan Löfven would have denounced us as “Islamophobic” for doing so.”While anti-Semitism in Sweden was historically associated with right-wing extremism, a 2013 study cited by Paulina Neuding of The New York Times revealed that 51 percent of anti-Semitic incidents in Sweden were connected with Muslim extremists. One in four were perpetrated by left-wing extremists and only 5 percent were carried out by right-wing extremists.”
Yet European authorities and the establishment media continue to blame the rise of anti-Semitism on “right-wing extremists.”
The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).
“Swedish PM Pins Rise of Anti-Semitism on Immigration From Middle East,” Sputnik News, January 28, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
An earlier study established that 51 percent of anti-Semitic incidents in Sweden were linked to Muslim extremists, a dynamic described as “importing a conflict originating in the Middle East”.
In what may be seen as a change of course, Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven has suggested that the rise of anti-Semitism to do has to do with mass immigration from the Middle East.
In an interview with national broadcaster SVT, Löfven lamented the rise of anti-Semitic sentiment across Sweden, which he party ascribed to the Holocaust falling into oblivion. However, he also stressed the influx from the Middle East as one of the reasons.
“It is also so, that we have got people who come from other countries where it is part of the state propaganda to not only be against Israel’s politics but Israel as a country. We clearly stand for Israel’s right to live in security,” Löfven stressed. “And there, in these countries in the Middle East region, children may learn what to believe already at school. So it’s our job to make sure that no, in Sweden you don’t do that. It is not acceptable at all”, Löfven said.
In another recent TV-interview Löfven said that “rumblings” from the 1930s were felt in today’s Sweden and that Europe must take the threat of Nazism more seriously in order not to let history repeat itself. To combat this development, Löfven proposed educating citizens about the Holocaust and sending schoolchildren to Auschwitz to learn the danger of nationalism.
Meanwhile, already in 2017, 18 percent of all high school students reported a consistently negative attitude towards Jews, compared to 55 percent of Muslim students, the newspaper Aftonbladet reported.
A report by the Living History Forum indicated that Anti-Semitism is more prevalent among Swedish Muslims than the rest of the population in 2017, with researcher Henrik Bachner calling it a “blind spot in Swedish research”. Mass immigration from predominantly Muslim countries has been a key feature of the Social Democrat governments under Löfven. Fredrik Sieradzki at the Jewish Information Centre in Malmö described this dynamic as Sweden “importing a conflict originating in the Middle East”.
In 2015 alone, 163,000 people applied for asylum in Sweden, mostly from the Middle East. According to the Migration Board, Afghans, Iraqis and Syrians were the the most numerous applicant groups in 2015. In addition to asylum immigration, there has been ongoing immigration through family reunion. The total number of residence permits issued during the Löfven era has been fluctuating between 120,000-150,000 per year.
While Löfven himself and his party colleagues often resort to Nazi comparisons and racist allegations against his political enemies to the right of the centre, criticism has been directed against the Social Democrats themselves, not least after members of its youth wing, SSU’s Malmö department, chanted slogans such as “Crush Zionism” during the 1 May parade, which were widely perceived as anti-Semitic.
“Stefan Löfven did not notice that, because he was busy warning about the right,” Moderate Party leader Ulf Kristersson said at that time….

Wellington says
Muslim extremists = very devout Muslims emulating the Model Man.
Westman says
Exactly, Wellington. How difficult it must be to be born into a religion that is completely backward in the modern era; where the member can only find peace by NOT following some jihad requirements and whose life is endangered by any making any criticism of those members who carry out violent jihad. It must be like the early days of a communist revolution – go along, or else…..
It’s as if Islam is a brain parasite, controlling its hosts to varying degrees, some dying to promote more infestation.
And Islam’s stated goal has no 3rd Act. When world is secured and the end times come, it will be wine, women, banquet, and servants for the Martyrs and “good” Muslims, forever – we are told by Muslim “scholars”. What a bore….
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
Correct!
And these “very devout muslims” are following regular, mainstream, plain-vanilla islam…

Yes off course muslims are anti-semititm it writen in the unholy Koran get ride off islam ban the koran and strat helping the Jews and the chirstains after all the grand muftey and many many muslims say that hiltler was the great man that ever lived it’s chirstaintey v islam and chirstaintey wil not lose millions off forced conversions under islam or pecefully chirtstaintey
Jule Bacal says
I wonder what would happen in US if Catholics started teaching conversion or death to protestants or Mormons? Would school boards ban them or let them know they are out of line? Suppose a Private school in USA was teaching the nazi bible about the inferior Jew, black, Armenian, disabled as so inferior they must be caged and worked to death? Would we Ban it? I would fight for these things to be banned. As a matter of real fact, I want Mosques banned TODAY because they act as the Government for the world wide State of islam This is no joke and neither is it just another religion of one Allah. They will tell you, its so much more than that. and it is a Government.

‘The New York Times revealed that 51 percent of anti-Semitic incidents in Sweden were connected with Muslim extremists…’ While a clear majority in the West would label anti-Semitic attacks as ‘extremist’ we have learned, in part due to Robert Spencer, that in Islam jew hatred is more the norm than the exception.
Kesselman says
Unbelievable, the question of increased sentiments of anti-Semitism in Europe has for most ppl been obvious: the imported mozzies! The Globalist Liberal Obsessive Beamshy Android Leftists deny it all along. It doesn’t fit their agenda and it runs counter to their efforts to fill up the ranks of the shirtless now that blue-collar Swedes, Germans, et al aren’t that poor anymore and don’t necessarily vote socialist.—A new needing ragged proletariat is most welcome, says the leftist-globalist combine, unaware that they likely will lose the end-battle when Islam in Europe feels strong enough to wipe out their former socialist ally.
somehistory says
Now that he has actually acknowledged this, what will he really do about it?
The Apostle Paul wrote that ‘bad associates spoil good habits,’ and this can be seen in the attitudes of the moslims…who fanatically hate Jews and Israel…rubbing off on to the other students, who might not otherwise show any ill feelings against Jews.
If one notices an increase in rats, that one will also notice an increase in rat droppings and chew marks on food packaging. If one sees an influx of moslims, that one will also see an increase in feelings of hatred against, and acts of violence against, those whom the moslims hate.

Oh, so it’s not white supremacists? The Leftists will be so disappointed!
Michael Copeland says
“Löfven proposed educating citizens about the Holocaust and sending schoolchildren to Auschwitz to learn the danger of nationalism.”
With respect, Auschwitz does not express a “danger of nationalism”. Hitler hated Jews; his collaborator Mufti Haj Amin al Husseini, thought to be co-designer of the “Final Solution”, hated Jews, because that is instructed by Islam. Jews were not at that time a “nationality”. Hitler’s ideas of racial purity were a strong contributory factor, but again, race is not nationality.
The Left smears nationalism, and seeks to destroy it with open borders, but nationalism is not synonymous with war.

““And there, in these countries in the Middle East region, children may learn what to believe already at school. So it’s our job to make sure that no, in Sweden you don’t do that. It is not acceptable at all”, Löfven said.”
And how is he going to stop them?
They teach it in the mosque, it’s in the koran.
Idealism will get them no where.
What were they thinking?????

The ferocious anti-Jewish attitude of Muslims is just one more of the endless barbaric, totally negative things they bring to our non-Muslim countries, along with the rape gangs, terrorist attacks, child brides, polygamy and all the other crap. I’m glad to see that a Swedish politician is at least saying that Muslims are the main anti-Jewish people in our countries. I mentioned this before, but I heard a leader of the Jewish community here in Australia being interviewed on the radio (it was because of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz) and the growing anti-Jewish sentiment in Europe was discussed and this Jewish leader didn’t mention Muslims at all as the source of the trouble, but went on about neo-Nazis in Germany and how the AfD party was full of neo-Nazis. I don’t know if he was really so dumb that he actually didn’t know that it is mainly because of Muslims or was just too politically correct to tell the truth about things. I thought, what a hopeless “leader” for the Jewish community to have. The way some people can deny reality is breathtaking.

Sweden’s Prime Minister admits that rise of anti-Semitism stems from mass Muslim migration
……………………
Well, this is good–but is Stefan Löfven going to do anything about it?
maemae77 says
You don’t need to blame on the so called extremists when the Quran itself tells it’s followers to commit violence/murder against non-Muslims.
Islam is extreme in itself to non-Muslims. Most just don’t see it because Muslims are hellbent in keeping the western world blind when they work within to conquer.
Any Muslim can do these acts and not be a part of ISIS or any other terrorist organization.
Meet the so called moderate Muslim man.
He will indoctrinate your children on the internet to becoming anti-Americans, have bad morals and even lead marches that cause civil unrest in our country.He will also rape a non-Muslim females, get Jewish & Christian businesses shut down.
They will even use our very own youth as puppets to do it do people don’t realize it’s really them that is actually causing it. Civilization Jihad.

Stefan Lofven, now you wake up? It is your mess. What now? What are you going to do to cleanse your country of this virus Islam? Actually, Sweden, which used to be a very beautiful country with intellectual and beautiful people is ruined, the repair would be extremely challenging. However, Sweden should be an example for those countries which are still committing suicide by allowing those criminals to invade them.
Giacomo Latta says
So, up to the moment Lofven made his statement about Middle East attitudes, from Middle Eastern immigrants, he thought all immigrants had a tabula rasa and it was a wonderful chance for Sweden to incorporate brand new fully modern humans to the Swedish population? Well, now that you have come to your senses, Lofven, what are you going to do about it? Close the border to Middle Eastern ”thought”, in other words, Islam, to put an end to this? Eradicate all vestiges of Islam currently causing Sweden to reek? Well, that’s what you need to do, so go do it. And good luck.

Where is Barbara Spectre hiding? If you don’t know who she is and what she represents then you need to search her name on Google and watch her videos on Youtube. She has blood on her hands. It’s odd Jihad Watch has yet to post an article about her activities supporting open borders and massive 3rd world migration which she claims will change Europe for the better. Barbara Spectre.
gravenimage says
Barbara Spectre is certainly an idiot–but the implication that Swedish immigration policy is run by an American Jewish woman is absurd. Usually those who make these claims do so because they think that Jewish people are secretly running the world.

Well, …duh!!
It never ceases to amaze me how ignorant the progressives can be!!
Moslem: “Sure, our Quran says the Jews are evil and we must strive to hate and kill them, but Islam means peace.”
Progressive: “Peace!? Well then, let me open my arms wide and give you a free place to stay. What’s that in your pocket – it looks like a hand grenade?”
Moslem: “No, no, …I’m just happy to see you!”
Progressive: “Well, good. And did I tell you we’ll give you free money, too?”
How did the progressives get this stupid?
They have become an enemy greater than Islam.

Talk about shouting, “Fire, fire!” ,after the building has burnt down! what a waste of an University Education. Really weird of Sweden. Decades ago they took in ‘proper’ Refugees fleeing the Middle East because they were Christian. Atheist/wrong Nationality etc. Now, for a good few years now, they have been taking in the persecutors of these people It don’t take a “brainbox” to work out that the sh*t is going to hit the fan. I was out in Southern Africa 30+ years ago visiting relatives & my uncle told me, “Not to apply European values out here. The locals will think you a soft target.” That is what is actually happening to the West in the eyes of ALL the Muslims. They see the West to be raped & plundered.
