Well, I did promise this week to go back to what I normally write instead of just bashing on about The Sweden Democrats but I promise that this will be my last one (for now).
So, just got back from the Anti-SD demo-march here where I live, was a nice turn out and a little jaunt round town, I think Abbey the dog wondered why so many other people were on her walk though.
So, a few more points that I would like to bring up....and I know that I'm mostly preaching to the converted but all the same, some of these points were brought up today at the march and mirrored exactly what I have been thinking.
First off there was a TV interveiw with one of The Sweden Democrats party members recently where he went into a bit of detail about their anti-islamic ideologies. By his own words he described Islam as a "violent pedophile cult". Hmmm, well - as we know Islamic people have been to blame for such acts but then again so have people of every religion...or non-religion so...invalid?
I have no read the Qur'an but I'm quite sure it dosn't say anything about violence or kiddy-fiddling. The party member then went on to describe how Mohammed, who is a role model for every Muslim was married to a 9-year old girl.
Well, a few points on that - first off, that means that you have to accept that Mohammed was a real person and did everything the Qur'an and Islam said he did...which also means that you believe he was given the Qur'an by word of mouth by the Angel Gabriel and somehow managed to get someone else to write it all down afterwards (he being illiterate at the time).
It also means that you would have to do everything Mohammed did...or? His first wife was in her 40s so maybe you have to go through a few before you get a 9-year old. Also, as far as I know it's not legal to marry a 9-year old and I don't see any 9-year old Islamic brides.
If we accept this as truth then the reason would be that it was the norm at the time - sick by today's standards but not by then so....it's irrelevant!
Pedophile cult eh? I do know one religion that we could say that about....
Anyway - basically this is where the biggest likeness between The Sweden Democrats and the Nazis come in for me....all you have to do is replace the Islamic hate for Jew hate and you've got it.
Well...on the bright side, Sweden has 5.7% in favour of the Nazis and that means the rest were not so...with 20 members in parliment there is 329 who are not and I believe that our Prime Minister has a plan to freeze out any of their racist decisions, we are still a democratic and liberal country.
Democracy, by the way - by the modern sense is something I have a bit of a gripe with....but I don't think of a good alternative - the parliment is voted in but only by a majority vote (over 50%) - who decides that? Why can't it be most votes wins? That was it's still democratic - the majority of the people get what they wanted. Or kind of.
Anyway - with SD in parliment for at least the next 4 years we'll see what happens and with any luck...fuck all!
