Along the way I spot a curious coincidence in the case of Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter:

Canada’s SunTV broadcaster Michael Coren and Jihadwatch’s Robert Spencer discussed the statement the London beheader made immediately after he murdered British soldier Lee Rigby. The killer was fairly calm after just hacking a man to death with a meat cleaver, presumably because he felt justified by the commandments of the Koran to kill the perceived enemies of Islam.

In Sweden, five days (so far) of Muslim rioting has caused some in the socialist country to wonder about the wisdom of welcoming so many unfriendly immigrants from violent societies.

Political correctness causes harm to the thought process, but there is some progress here. For years, we have read about unspecified “youths” burning down the town. But now, at least RT News, a Russian outfit, is describing the mass arsonists as “immigrant teenagers.” Progress!

Perhaps in another decade the press will admit that Muslim immigrants are the problem.

The video following is improved by the remarks of Lars Hedegaard, the publisher of Dispatch International, a pro-free-speech newspaper in Denmark that prints the unpleasant truth about diversity rather than the government-approved PC swill of the mainstream press. Hedegaard is an expert on Muslim violence, having narrowly escaped a Muslim assassination attempt. He thinks the efforts of Sweden to create a utopian multicultural society have not been successful at all, as shown by the recent outburst of violence.

The 2005 “civil unrest” in France went on for 20 nights, so the Koran-inspired violence can have legs. Sweden may be just at the beginning.

Interestingly, another video from RT News reported that the Muslims riot for the money, not some vague incident that offended them. Yep, they have the socialist do-gooder government figured out to a T, that the result of a violent upheaval will be lots more welfare spending piled on to solve the problem of alienated youth. Of course, that response will just engender more rioting.

Here’s the text that accompanies the first video:

‘They don’t want to integrate’: Fifth night of youth rioting rocks Stockholm, RT News, May 23, 2013

Youth gang riots in the Swedish capital Stockholm have entered fifth straight night. Hundreds of mostly immigrant teenagers tore through the suburbs, smashing windows and burning cars in the country’s worst outbreak of violence in years.

John Derbyshire's post below refers to Jared Taylor's interview with Frank Borzellieri--here it is:

Sadly, perusal of the Rush Limbaugh archives for yesterday and Wednesday (in other words, since the Amnesty/Immigration Acceleration Bill was cheered out of the Judiciary Committee) discovers not one word about it or immigration. The other scandals have excluded this much more important issue.
