Yesterdays tragedy in Stockholm was a surreal awakening that the Sweden of old is since long gone. As such this attack upon Swedish society was just a question about when and not if?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

Sweden has before been the target for Islamic terrorism, the Christmas of 2010 when the islamic militant Taimour Abdulwahab from Tran\u00e5s, who had become radicalized in Luton, that is infamous as a holdout for islamic radicals, blew himself up in central Stockholm in the midst of people doing their Christmas shopping. However\u00a0Abdulwahab only succeded in killing himself and perhaps due the lack of other killed Sweden continued it\u2019s\u00a0apologetic stance towards radical interpretations of Islam. The fear of being labeled as islamophobic and racist is very much a reality in Swedish public life.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yesterdays terrorist didn\u2019t use means that require special skills or connections on the black market, he used a stolen ordinary heavy truck, just like the terrorist in Nice did. (It was later found that the truck also contained an explosive devise that luckily did not detonate however.) Once again this clearly shows that symbol politics with easy fixes can\u2019t deal with the hatred that politically and religiously motivated terrorist unleash against our open society.<\/p>\n

Ironically the Moderate Party the same day as death came to the streets of Stockholm, in form of a stolen truck, gave the Socialist Government green light to vote yes to the EU\u2019s Firearms Directive<\/strong>. All other liberal and conservative parties opposed this. Seemingly good relations with Brussels are more important than standing up for the ideals of individual freedoms and civil rights. Hence the Moderates teamed up with socialists and greens.<\/p>\n

Protection<\/h3>\n

But how can you protect society against individuals who in the name of religion are willing to steal trucks and mow down innocent civilians along a walk street with the intention of killing as many as possible?<\/p>\n

The answer is that you can\u2019t, and definently not through pointless symbol politics aimed only against law abiding citizens. The greatest chances to combat terrorism is through intelligence, improved border control, social efforts in areas that suffers the greatest risk of domestic radicalization and a review of the legal system how we define subversive activities.<\/p>\n

Debate needed<\/h3>\n

Swedish society must have a debate where the boundry lies between freedom of religion and free speech and views when it comes to things like for instance salafist mission activities. What constitutes\u00a0subversive activities? To put yourself in the service of a terror organization, to recruit and finance such activities must be definied as terrorism. Subversive activities and organization of illegal militia are illegal in Sweden and yet a monumental\u00a0leniency has been showed towards such activities. Two men that where recruiting for ISIS and\u00a0financing the organization were recently only charged for fraud, not terrorism, here in Sweden since the legislation of freedom of organization was deemed as more important.<\/p>\n

This debate must in the light of the tragedy in Stockholm be held and it will not be an easy one in a political climate in which every form of\u00a0criticism related to Islam has been labeled as \u201cfishing in murky waters\u201d.\u00a0<\/em>The political paradigme in Sweden must change if not more innocent people are going to die in streets due to acts of terrorism.<\/p>\n
