    Swedish security police raid mosque in Goteborg

    STOCKHOLM (AP) — Sweden's security police raided the administrative office of a mosque in the country's second largest city , the force said on Sunday.

    Security police spokeswoman Sirpa Franzen said Thursday's raid against the Bellevue Mosque in Goteborg was prompted by prosecutor Agnetha Hilding Qvarnstrom, who heads the investigation against three men arrested on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States.

    Mosque officials weren't immediately available for comments.

    Franzen declined to say if the raid was connected to the arrests and wouldn't give more details. The force only confirmed the operation, following a report in a GT tabloid.

    The men, of Somali and Iraqi origin, were arrested as around 400 people were evacuated from an arts center and were initially suspected of plotting a terrorist attack. However, the charges were later changed to preparing murder and the prosecutor said it related only to one individual.

    The arrests and evacuation of the arts center — which is located beneath the city's landmark half-mile (930-meter) Alvsborg bridge — spread jitters across Sweden, which saw a suicide bomber blow himself up on a pedestrian street in Stockholm in December.

        I WISH. I live in Sweden. When i watch people walk by my kitchen window, I see more hijab scarf heads and ugly bucktooth peanut headed somalians than Swedes. I see maybe 2 Swedes for every 200 muslims who walk by.

      Until we come to grips with the fact that Muslims are not people as we understand them to be, and until we begin to treat them like the plague they are we will lose the war against them and their murderous ilk.

        We are people , we are 2+ billion people, we are come from all nations, cultures, ethnicities and heritage, We are American, European, Asian, Hispanic and we are growing and spreading b/c try as the western world does to spread such vile hatred and false lies and information about what Islam is or is not, educated open minded people can see through all of that media political crap and seek the truth for themselves and come to realize that what they thought they knew about our religion was not true at all and that it is a peaceful , beautiful practice of faith in God that will get them to the paradise!

      Sweden, how's that liberal immigration policy working for you?
    • Chris  •  8 mths ago
      @James: Wow... pretty extreme... but are you "moderate" Muslims listening? Yeah, uh, how about standing up and making a public statement about how these terrorists are wrong, instead of whining about being patted down at an airport? I think the West wants your "religion of peace" to kind of.... oh, I don't know, maybe fight back at the very Muslims who cause the discrimination against you, if indeed you are a "moderate" Muslim... Do something about it amongst your religion or shut up and get frisked and take off your burqua. Which, by the way, your cross dressing men use as disquises to hide their bombs. Never saw a UNIFORMED US troop in my time cross dress as a woman to take down his enemy. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, OR SHUT UP AND TAKE YOUR PAT DOWNS AND QUIT WHINING. Or, just move back there and blow yourselves all up. Pay attention Muslims. People are sick of your crap, and you "moderates" are doing nothing about it.

      Send them back. Let them live in their own countries which is being managed according to their believes. Let them know why is wrong using a book written 1400 years ago as the base of their laws and life. Even a good Muslim believes Allah is superior, Quran is his book, and the ones who don't believe are second class, low level citizens.
    • TERRY  •  8 mths ago
      Tear mosque down, deport or execute all muslims that cause the slightest problem.
    • InfidelHere  •  8 mths ago
      Good! The sooner people realized that we are in a WAR with "true" MUSLIMS (since these animals declared war on us well before 9/11), the better. Our PC media likes to use generic terms like ‘radical’, ‘extremist’, ‘fundamentalist’ or ‘links to Al Qaida’ which in fact they are describing those "good" muslims that are carrying out the Koran's instructions to fight, punish, tax, and KILL Non-Muslims. When over 60% of their ‘holy’ (cough-cough) Koran itself is dedicated to the specific treatment of Non-Muslims…we really shouldn’t be surprised by all of the cancer that continues to perpetuate from the ideology of Islam. At least Sweden is not sitting back and allowing this cancer to spread!
    • James  •  8 mths ago
      OK, folks---I've had it. I propose that all Muslims be deported from the Western world. Their living in the white man's lands is not going to work. I suggest future legislation include burning down all mosques and firing squads for Muslims who will not leave immediately. Police should comb the streets searching for middle-eastern-looking people and take them to jail until they can be deported. Get these murderers out of our universities, out of our society and out of the USA and Western Europe. They do not belong. Fundamentalism of any stripe is wrong, ignorant and dangerous. Even fundamentalist Christianity, which should be outlawed as soon as we wipe the world of Islam from our society. The time has come. Bronze Age religious belief systems serve no purpose in today's world. The governments fostering this type of religious promotion are the real guilty ones---the U.S. included.
    • InfidelHere  •  8 mths ago
      Keep it up Sweden - NEVER, EVER give in to "true" ISLAM. Why? Islam does not mean simply "peace" as muslim apologists tell us. It means you only obtain their version of "peace" THROUGH "surrender and submission", a name which defines its purpose for all! Islam is equal parts a repressive religion and dictatorial political system. If you'd like a contemporary comparison, apart from nomenclature, time, and place, Islam is indistinguishable from Nazism. Hitler's Mein Kampf and the terrorist/pedophile muhammad's koran are astonishingly similar as were the men's lives who authored them. If you are interested in this comparison, there a number of sources dedicated to these ‘prophets' proclamations.

      these radical far left countries destroyed their countries....sweden/england/swiss/netherlands...for bringing in these radical muslims
    • Youcan'tfoolme  •  8 mths ago
      Islam is not a religion of peace. It was conceived by a super ego thirsty for power and control. Even from the beginning, much blood was shed by those who would not accept it. In many instances it was thrust on individuals and whole villages under the threat of death.
      Not that Christianity has done any better. The final analysis is that religion will continue to divide us. All religions are incubators where many mentally deranged individuals find a cause and, together with their feebleness of mind, become dangerous extremists.
