Terror in Sweden/getting harder not to be a racist
15 years ago
General
Saturday a 28 year old Swedis-Iraq man set off a car bomb and later blew himself to death in Stockholm. Sweden and us Norwegians feel like brothers and sisters, we call Sweden søta bror (Not sure if it should be cute brother or sweet brother in English). When Sweden is attacked we Norwegians feel hurt too, despite or massive mockery of each other in sports (specialy handbal and ski) we feel like one.
The right wing parties has warned about this for years but we have just laughed of them, now it has happened. It is making me wonder if every arab I see is an exstremist and though I would never vote for them, the right wing parties suddenly seems a lot more tempting and less crazy (some of them at least). Being gay, I already had a restrained sight on muslims, due to some violence and attacks in oslo, but now I'm starting to think all muslims are angry extremists and terrorists. I know they are not, but i can't help it, specially not after the rejected immigrants rioted and burned down a waiting facility where they wait to be send back home. The strange thing is how the gowerment always supports refugees and immigrants, granting them several benefits we "real" Norwegians don't have, like promising all of them a pension of 300,000 NOK a year ( ca 49.850 USD), because they don't have time to build a pension by working, however, most Norwegians has to make due on ca 230,000 NOK a year (ca 38.219 USD). Also, they are cutting on care for the eldery to fund a number of Islam schools.
All this together is giving me a very bad attitude towards muslims, and arabs, specialy since the more we give them the more they demand. I know it's very wrong to judge everyone all that, but I can't help it. When native Norwegians can't take their dog for a walk without the risk of it getting kicked by muslims (happened to someone i know so often she had to get rid of the dog), and gay men can't hold hands in certain parts of Oslo because they might be attacked, it's gone to far. The trouble is that they all settle where the prices are low, making it almost like ghettoes where more than 90% of the people are immigrants of 1. or 2. generation. In certain Oslo schools 99% of the children does not speak Norwegian as mother tounge, leading them to develop bad Norwegian skills.
I could go on and on about this, not only muslims and arabs, but people from Romania, Somalia and other places to.
I know it's wrong to be a racists, and I try not to think like this, but it's getting hard.
