. . .Dissent is powerfully discouraged. In Sweden, whose murder rate is currently twice that of America and where Muslims now constitute over 10% of the population and are disproportionately unemployed and prone to violence, the Swedish press routinely depicts America as crime-ridden . . .Though two-thirds of Swedes question whether Islam is compatible with Western society, this issue is simply not open for public discussion . . .

Recently, the city of Stockholm carried out a survey of ninth-grade boys in the predominantly Muslim suburb of Rinkeby. The survey showed that in the last year, 17% of the boys had forced someone to have sex, 31% had hurt someone so badly that the victim required medical care, and 24% had committed burglary or broken into a car . . .

We might also demand reprocity. A Palestinian doctor in Sweden refused to treat an American tourist just this week. How about we suggest they treat us as we treat them? We give them medical care when they ask for it. We afford Muslims freedom of worship in the west. Is it too much to ask they show the same tolerance to us?

Very good, However, I will add this. In Iraq our churches are burned and our Christians killed. I have seen people wish the same in North America to all the Mosques and Muslims. It is hard not to be angered by it. Why are we tolerating them, when we are obvioulsy not tolerated? This is the question that comes out of this kind of thing. It is human nature to want poorly of one who harms us. The line between forgiveness and speaking up for what is right needs to be distinguished. God bless.
