"A Beacon in the Twilight of Civilization", a Letter from Sweden, Eurabia burns

As Paris burns - Muslims Riot for Fifth Straight Night , Jihad comes to France (see pics).

Nothing happens for decades, decades happen in a day.

I am in receipt of an email from a man who fled Sweden.
YOU MUST READ IT. I deleted his last name, everthing else is unedited. Please read it all.

Subject line: A beacon in the twilight of civilization

I like your blog. It is refreshingly free of
compromise and attempts to tell both sides of every
issue. I share your values all the way, and I am
especially appreciative of your support for Israel.

Where I come from, Sweden, being a Jew is almost like
trying to be anything except a muslim in the nexus of
islamo-fascism. Jewish students are assaulted on a
regular basis in schools, and even Jewish teachers are
bullied by students without any reaction from school
administrators. Jewish students in public schools use
code words when talking about, e.g., bar mitzvah or
going to the synagogue. They try to use Swedish family
names instead of their Jewish names, and they
certainly try to avoid wearing religious symbols in
public.

Anti-semitic violence is at an all time high. Last
winter an anti-racist rally in Stockholm, organized by
leftist groups and muslim organizations, culminated
with a raging assault on a small group of Jewish
teenagers. Other anti-racist events have been held on
the same day as Jews commemorate the victims of the
Kristallnacht, but the organizers have purposely
chosen to locate their events as far away as possible
from the Jewish commemoration ceremony. The Swedish
supreme court has even ruled that it is not racism if
a muslim speaks in defamation of Jews, but it is
racism if a native Swede does it.

Islamo-fascism is spreading like bonfire among muslims Swedish_cartoon_1
in Scandinavia. I have tons of anecdotes to tell about
this.

I came to America three years ago, much because I wanted to give something back to the country that has stood so relentlessly by Europe's side against
totalitarianism. Today, many Europeans have turned their back on America, and more do it every day. Some are scared by the onslaught from islamo-fascism, but
they still try to find a reason to blame America for it. It is a sad thing to witness, and it infuriates me at the same time because Europe was the cradle of modern, Western civilization. Today, it seems almost as if Europe is going to become the grave of that same civilization.

It was not easy to come here, though. As a
conservative college professor I soon realized that I
had left the lion's den only be hurled into the snake
pit instead. I taught for three years at Skidmore, a
small liberal arts college here in upstate NY that
does its best to put two meanings into "liberal". It's
a long story that I won't bore you with now. Suffice
it to say that I soon discovered that the venom that
is slowly killing free society in Europe is also being
injected into America, little by little, day by day.

Postmodern collectivism opens the door for
totalitarianism and tyranny. It is the greatest threat
to free society. It must be stopped. You are doing a
great job at it with your blog. Keep it up!

I couldn't agree more with Sven. There is definetly alot of anti-semitism in sweden and I myself am affraid to tell other students at school about me being jewish. It´s really sad that anti-semitism has become accepted in the swedish society and I think that the issue is just growing worse. Therefore I have accepted that there is nothing I can do about it rather than living as an outcast, after I finish school I will hopefully get a chance to move to the US and I really hope that the Americans won´t be as intolerant, uninformed and full of prejudice as most Swedes are.

Hopefully, you won't have to go to most US universities, because they are as uninformed, intolerant, and full of prejudice.

This is off-topic, but I found it from a link on LGF. I thought you might enjoy it (or at least sigh).

A comparison of Jewish and Muslim Nobel Prize winners:

Europe is sinking in the sewer of dhimmitude. Muslims are protected from all forms of discrimination, then allowed to attack anything that offends them. The barbarians are within the gates and are demolishing the structure. The residents are sleeping a drugged sleep and wish not to be disturbed.
