The number of antisemitic crimes is increasing in Swedish Malmö. The Jewish victims of attack identify the perpetrators often as Muslims — what wonder! The perpetrators, however, see themselves as victims. There are regular attacks against individuals and mosques, for example.

The Swedish news portal Sveriges Radio reports:

The number of so-named hate crimes against followers of religious groups is on constantly rising in Sweden. This is what the news agency TT reports, referring to an analysis from the police in Skåne. According to the analysis, the number of break-ins against Jews has doubled in the past year. According to statements by the victims, the issue of the perpetrators usually has to do with Muslims whose numbers have increased strongly in Malmö in the past years, primarily as a result of immigration.

Many Jews are now considering moving away from Malmö, the chairperson of the Central Jewish Council in Sweden, Lena Posner Körösi, said. However, assaults against Jews have increased all over the country.

Assaults against Muslims also increased in 2008. The chairperson of the Swedish Muslim Council, Helena Benaouda, said that she receives telephone threats daily. Threats, insults and violent attacks against Muslims in the meantime have become daily occurrences. Even attacks on mosques have increased in the past year. Altogether 600 complaints have been filed because of religiously motivated crimes, according to statements by the Council for the Prevention of Crimes.

Surely it has nothing to do with Islam…
