Sweden in 2010 Looks Like Germany in 1932

Last year in Malmö, the number of hate crimes against Jews quadrupled in comparison with the preceding year. The grim figures are especially surprising given that, as is usual with hate crimes, many victims do not dare to report them out of fear that doing so might bring on further harassment.
As the same time that this is happening, the city's leading politician, Social Democrat Ilmar Reepalu, maintains that there have been no attacks on Jews and that if Jews wish to leave Malmö for Israel it is not the city's concern.
When the Jewish community arranged a peace demonstration in the town square, participants scattered when left-wing groups, together with Islamist groups armed with glass bottles, eggs, rockets, and Hamas flags, ran them off. The response from Malmö's city hall? None.
And when the Jewish funeral chapel was vandalized? Nothing.
And when burkas marked with the words "Zyklon B" were placed at the Jewish cemetery? Not a word.
And when the synagogue in Helsingborg was set on fire - and when Jewish merchants were harassed? Utter silence.
A dense odor of the 1930s hangs over the streets of Malmö.
On a related note, the Religion of Peace has threatened Matt Stone and Trey Parker with death for their "blasphemous" depiction of Mohammed in a bear suit on last week's episode of South Park, which, ironically, was about how Mohammed is the only figure in the world that can't be criticized .
