(<strong>Riksdagsval<\/strong> = election of parliament) The Swedish Democrats (The party\u2019s Swedish name is <strong>Sverige<\/strong> <strong>Demokraterna<\/strong>) was founded in 1988, but we haven\u2019t noticed it until now, this past year. In 2009 and even 2010 we have been made aware of their radical, right-wing politics through amongst other things Youtube videos. If any of you have studied the basics of the first and second world war you should know what situation Hitler rose to power in. (A financial crisis, for those of you who have forgotten or never knew.) Well, today\u2019s situation isn\u2019t quite that bad some might say, but the horrors of politics are getting pretty close. No wait! I didn\u2019t really mean that&#8230; the Swedish political parties aren\u2019t mass exterminating Jews or any other group of people&#8230; yet?<\/p>\n<p><span>According to the Swedish Democrats, Swedish politics should aim to get rid of all of Sweden\u2019s immigrants, even the ones who have received Swedish citizenship. They are trying to spread propaganda like \u201cBy 2050 there will be more Muslims in Sweden than <em>Swedes<\/em>\u201d Again, anybody who has studied comparative religion knows that Muslim is the term for somebody who believes in Islam. You can be a Muslim and a Swede! Just the same as the prejudice \u201cthe fact that you come from Iraq makes you are a terrorist\u201d anybody should know that that is absolutely not true!!! The same thing applies to all our other prejudices, which makes them so dangerous. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Since I am quite young I would like to ask all of you who have ANY thought whatsoever on any similar matter. It is always, first of all interesting to listen to other people\u2019s arguments and why, but also to get another perspective on an important matter. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Swedish Democrats made a video where their racist views are absolutely no hidden in any way. Sorry for being partial on this matter, though I\u2019m not going to apologize for my opinion! They have exaggerated every \u201cfact\u201d used in their propaganda video, they use the \u201clets all stick together against the big bad Muslim terrorists who are stealing our country away from us!\u201d tactic. Many others and I have found this extremely appalling and we were all horrified at the number of people who would give them their votes according to the opinion polls. I\u2019ll try to keep this blog up-to-date on the upcoming <strong>Riksdagsval<\/strong> and how things develop on the Sverige Demokrater front. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This autumn there will be an election of parliament in Sweden.
