Enemy within.

Anything that is related to ethnic groups [i.e., Muslims in Sweden] other than their own [i.e., the ethnic group of native Swedes] must simply never become a worry, even if it happens to be worrisome. If it does, the root of the worry must be located in one’s own group’s attitudes, never in the attitude of the minority. This may be right in order to avoid fragmentation and to prevent exposed groups from feeling unwelcome in their country of residence, but it will not promote a reasonable debate about the changes in society.

Heaven forbid that "exposed groups" should feel unwelcome in their "country of residence" (to which they have no allegiance).

This excerpt correctly describes the mechanism of white Sweden’s ethnic suicide -- the Double Reverse Scapegoat phenomenon where the transgressions of completely unassimilable Muslims -- and treasonous Swedish politicians -- are taken upon the backs of native Swedes.

The article from which this excerpt is taken seems to be of some interest in what the translator calls “cultivated circles,” though he is probably being ironic. Apparently the idea of laying the blame for hostile, aggressive, criminal or rejectionist behavior and attitudes on those who actually engage in the behavior or cultivate those attitudes comes as something as a revelation to educated Swedes.

What a concept! Blame the perpetrators!

Ms. Andersson is helping to illuminate the willful blindness of Swedes but the tepid call for “reasonable debate” about what changes have been wrought by Muslim immigration and rejectionism seems flat. In the face of the parasitism, criminality, and sheer effrontery of imported imams and their followers, the option of some righteous fury seems not to be on the table.

To arms! If it’s not too much bother . . . .

This suggests to me that Ms. Andersson -- and I mean no criticism of her in saying this -- must probably be very careful to trim her sails to the winds that blow in her homeland and refrain, like all other Swedes, from anything like harsh criticism of Muslims or official immigration policies.
