Shooting the Messenger in Sweden
When a Norwegian cabinet minister told the truth about Sweden, the Swedish elite sprung into action.
On August 8, I wrote here in praise of Sylvi Listhaug, Norway's Minister of Migration and Integration, who has criticized hijab in her country's schools, warned that there are “wolves in sheep's clothing” in Norway's Muslim community, and complained about so-called asylum seekers who have been taken in by Norway but who vacation in the countries they supposedly fled from. Recently, Listhaug visited Rinkeby, the Stockholm suburb that is internationally notorious for having become one of the worst of that nation's large and ever-increasing number of no-go zones. Listhaug said that she was there to study the nightmarish stew of gang crime, welfare dependency, self-segregation, and Islam that has come to be known as “Swedish conditions.” This explanation of her trip made total sense, since her most important job is to prevent Norway from coming any closer than it already is to those “conditions.”
