[S.O.I]

cant find any links or news reports:confused:

[apathy maybe]

A quick news search turns up a couple of articles

"The origin of the riots is the occupation of the building. But that's not really the reason now, now other troublemakers have just joined in, taking advantage of the situation," Westford said.
Those darn trouble makers...

The protests became violent after police on Monday evicted youths who for three weeks had occupied the basement, which also was being used as an Islamic centre.

Some protesters briefly apprehended earlier this week were described as anarchists and there were also reports that football hooligans were involved in some clashes.
Oooh, scary anarchists!

[mo7amEd]

It's still all over the news in Sweden, alongside with what's happening in Greece, but the latest reports say it is calming down.

This can go on for weeks, the youths in Malmö and Rosengård dont like the police...
Three police cars and one big bulldozer used for breaking barricades was broken. The police station in Rosengård was also attacked.
This is not about the Islamic centre really, it is just about the police...there is no "radical muslims" taking part.

oh dear, not looking good for "law and order" is it :D

I can add that this riots take place after a wave of occupations in the Malmö-area and demonstrations. The European Social Forum that took place this september in Malmö did inspire many people to do something.

Hopefully this wave of radicalism will soon spread to Britain soon. But remember to be sceptical about the news, they sometimes have a tendency to play down the importance, or scale of an event to draw attention or support for it away.

Today the riots have spread to the Stockholm suburb Tensta. Several barricades were set on fire and when the police showed up stones and fireworks were trown at them. Several cars were set on fire and the policecars was damaged.

If you understand Swedish;
"Riots in Tensta linked to Malmö-riots"
sydsvenskan.se/sverige/article401125/Oro-i-Tensta-kopplas-till-Malmobrak.html

"Robert Weintraub who is in charge over the youth house "Blå huset" in Tensta says;
- I think this is the begining of a new trend. What has happened in Greece has inspired a lot of people in this country."

The riots continued this night in Tensta when molotov cocktails where thrown at the policecars, several barricades and cars set on fire.
Cars burned all over Stockholm this night.
