A few years ago, the Guardian newspaper called Sweden the most successful society the world has ever known.
blank_pageBut Sweden today is being transformed by a large influx of immigrants from the Middle East. Sweden's third largest city, Malmö, sits just across the water from Denmark. To visitors, Malmö seems quiet, nice, maybe a little boring; quintessentially Swedish. But under the surface, Malmö has serious problems. On Saturday when Israel played Sweden in a Davis cup tennis match in Malmö, an estimated 6,000 leftists, Arabs, Muslims and anarchists protested the Israeli presence, and hundreds attacked police. Almost no fans were allowed inside to watch the tennis, because authorities feared disruptions or possible violence against the Israeli team. Massive immigration has made Malmö today one quarter Muslim, and stands to transform it into a Muslim majority city within just a few decades. Malmö has been so accommodating toward immigrant Muslims that a local Muslim politician has declared that ‘The best Islamic state is Sweden!' Pray:that the church in Malmö would reach out with the Good News of Jesus Christ to those who have been drawn to the city. (Mt.9:35-38) Source: Prayer Alert |
