Congrats. Those few lines proving Yanks ARE as dumb as they seem. You've even got an ex-Brit (Bernard Lewis) trying to rewrite history on the Turkish genocide of Armenians after even writing a book saying one and a half million Armenian christians were murdered because they were christians (God alone knows how many Greeks or from the Balkans they butchered over the centuries for the same reason) then denying what he'd written ! Stick to crappy sports like baseball and yank football (played with hands....says it all....)
I am not a brit.I am Turkish and I am sick and tired of one sided fabricated genocide stories when there are all those tragedies and loss of life happened in Turkish side.
You cant find western sources for these kind of things because they dont have a reason to service it over and over again like they do about Turkey.
Turkish history is full of repeated acts of genocide. Turkey's treatment of the Armenians served as the basis for Germany's treatment of the Jews.
I had heard that a few of the Saami women were sterilized, but I have never heard of anything such as genital mutilation. Many swedish churches did however refuse to perform marriages between Saami and the swedish people at one time. Prominent scientists warned that it would taint the swedish gene pool. In 2010, after his party had just won their first seats, Jimmie Akesson, leader of the Sweden Democrats, dressed himself in the natational costume and went to a service in Stockholm cathedral. But the bishop's sermon was about multiculturalism, so Akesson left in the middle of the sermon. The Sweden Democrats have been running advertsiements showing an old swedish women be pushed aside by a stampede of muslim women rushing to get welfare money. The party won 340000 votes, which was 5,7 per cent of the total. Akesson told journalists, "European countries have to get rid of this naive idea of multiculturalism as a melting pot." The Sweden Democrats have not yet been able to have any influence on immigration, as the other parties have formed a sort of coallition specifically excluding the Sweden Democrats. The ruling government has partnered with the Greens, who are the most pro-immigration party. Akesson called it a big setback. But the Sweden Democrats have played a part in other policies, blocking the sales of a telecommunications business. The party has emphasised crime prevention, and care of the elderly, which although still connected with the immigration issue, has allowed it to appeal to a wider range of voters.

I would like to point out that Södertälje (a fairly small Swedish town) has received more Iraqi asylum-seekers than the entire USA since 2003. This despite the USA being the one to occupy Iraq, and Sweden being a much smaller country.
Don't worry Viv . He has found somewhere in Sweden that had one Iraqi immigrant . None have entered the US . Who wants to visit Hell on Earth ?
The Iraqis in Södertälje may be mostly Christians, but nearly all the Middle Easterners in the rest of Sweden are not. One wonders how long it will take for Sweden to become majority muslim, and swedish Christians begin to be persecuted, like they are in Iraq and Turkey. The muslims will try to dismantle the secular swedish state. This type of struggle can already be clearly seen in Turkey.
