''Multiculturalism failing'': Violent riots engulf Stockholm suburbs



"Sweden could be paying a tough price for its policies on immigrants and multiculturalism. A Stockholm suburb erupted into violence for a few hours, as crowds of angry, masked youths from migrant families burned cars, smashed windows and hurled stones at police officers.

What's believed to have fueled the riot was the death of a 69-year-old man, allegedly shot by police in the area last week. The chairman of Sweden's National Democrats Party Marc Abramsson told RT this new trouble highlights old policy flaws."

The original RT headline was: "riots in Sweden continue after police shooting". I just added "muslim" in the beginning, because that's true.

I dont read atlasshrugs2000, never heard of them. I'm a libertarian socialist and don't read that kinda shit. I'm also an atheist, I dislike religion and Islam.

Sorry it you don't want to believe it.
"Anti-multiculturalism stuff" is a knee jerk reaction.

Also, since when has RT been considered an unacceptable source on DU? Yes occasionally they have slightly weirds takes on events, but, from what I know of the V&N foum on DU, RussiaToday is a staple.

This guy is identified as a "National Democrat" which is a minor right wing party in Sweden which believes the races should not mingle.

RT chose to give the guy a platform to spew his crap.

I guess they depend on the basic intelligence of their viewers.
