In Sweden's fourth largest city Uppsala, several hundred Muslims demonstrated on Friday, September 7, outside Upsala Nya Tidning (UNT), protesting against artist Lars Vilks' picture of the Prophet Muhammad as a roundabout dog and against the newspaper for publishing the drawing.

Police say there were approximately 550 demonstrators, while the Muslims themselves claim over 1,000 participated, among them a Christian priest and three left-wing politicians, all ethnic Swedes, one of them a member of Parliament and another one a Communist. According to the Uppsala Mosque, an ethnic Swede converted to Islam outside the newspaper building after the demonstration.

The Muslims were shouting things such as "respect Islam", "respect our Prophet" and "respect Muhammad", their posters saying "Stop desecrating our Prophet", "Rights + Freedom = Islam", "Freedom of the press or freedom of suppression", "Don't kick someone when they're down" (a typical Swedish left-wing catchword) and "We demand religious freedom" (which Sweden already has since 1951).

Muslims never complain about the stoning in Muslim conterys.

I can't fucking believe that these third world pigs demand respect for their insane ideology in Swedish! Go home! This is not your land and never will be. If you try to force us to bow to your wishes we will fight you and defeat you as we always did in the past.

LOOOOOOOOOOL! detta var det roligaste jag sätt. respektera muhamed, repektera muhamed!

Respektera våra lagar, och sluta begå brott och sluta skicka ut era skit ungar på gatan när de inte har respekt för svenska folket eller landet. Jävla muslimska idioter.
