This is being reported in several places and I am posting a synopsis.

Last night in what the government called a highly coordinated and almost military-like operation Muslims across the Gothenburg, Trollhattan, and Stockholm area attacked and burned 80+ cars, some structures, and possibly even a church in Gothenburg.

The Swedish PM Stefan Löfven reacted to the attacks by saying, "What the fuck are you doing?" which has been moderated by the media to, "What the hell are you doing?"

Various leaders of the Sweden Democrats Party responded to the attacks with calls for the arrest and deportation of the Muslim attackers and their families. The Sweden Democrats are expected to become the #2 party in Sweden after the upcoming elections and political analysts are now entertaining the idea that the Sweden Democrats may well become one of the first majority parties in Swedish history.

Even the leader of the Moderate Party, Ulf Kristersson, took an unusually hard line saying: "These are no 'protests', this is sabotage. Sweden has tolerated this far too long. It has to end!"

Police report two arrests.

Odd. None of the reports I read say anything about their religion. Or even skin colour for that matter.

In western Sweden, there has been a series of coordinated arson attacks. In Gothenburg, at least 60 cars have been set on fire by masked Muslim youths, with rocks and firebombs thrown at police in Trollhättan. Are we to tolerate this behaviour on account of them being migrants?

Because no one on Twitter has an agenda and always posts accurate information, right?

Wait...what? You mean this isn't another case of Multi-cultural enrichment?

We do at least hear this:

$1:

Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said: "It looks like very coordinated, almost like a military operation."

So if this isn't another case of diversity being Sweden's case, what else is it?

In an attempt to answer the question "if it is a coordinated attack" as suggested by the Swedish Prime Minister, "who's coordinating it?" I look around.

The leftist Guardian newspaper suggests this possibility:

"The coordinated nature of the attacks made some suspect an attempt by the far right to whip up anti-immigrant sentiment ahead of the election, in which the anti-immigrant Sweden Democrats are vying to become the country’s largest political party.

Daniel Riazat, an MP for the Left party, said on Twitter: “I would not be surprised if far right extremists were involved in some way.”

They also say this:

"Sweden goes to the polls on 9 September with violent crime high on the political agenda after a , largely in deprived areas with large concentrations of immigrants."

The BBC told us this:

"The masked young people broke car windows before pouring flammable liquids inside, Swedish media said. They were also seen throwing stones at police officers."

I'll tell you this:

It's happened before.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22656657

2013

"The riots began on Sunday in Husby, a deprived, predominantly immigrant area in the north-west of the capital.

It is believed they were sparked by the death of an elderly man nearly a week before, who was shot by police after he allegedly threatened to kill them with a machete."

So a pattern of car-burning riots occurring out of no-go zones in Sweden and perped by what the media calls 'youths in masks' is increasing this time with an election approaching.

From this we must ask ourselves which makes the most sense?

1. The Swedish opposition has some found a way to exploit the tendency of "youthful" denizens of Sweden's no-go zones to burn cars and riot in order to increase support for their party.

2. Sweden screwed up when it allowed these no-go zones to get large. (BTW, one hears they're majority Muslim. Somebody should check that.) This possibility suggests that largely Muslim populations of Swedish no-go zones are just doing what they apparently do from time to time - only moreso. And perhaps the 'moreso' is explained by the fact the no-go zones keeping getting bigger and stronger, while Swedish law gets weaker.

You've been fooled by your cognitive bias before. I would wait until a proper reporter finds the facts and reports them. I would consider nothing on Twitter trustworthy.

Here's the facts. Tell me which ones you doubt and what you prefer as a "proper reporter." I'll look around for you.

This isn't the first time car-burning riots have happened in Sweden.

In all cases the perps come out of no-go zones.

These zones are majority Muslim.

This is only the largest example not the first.

But if this isn't another example of multicultural enrichment, what is it?

As to being fooled by cognitive bias...ever heard the one about glass houses?

True and the Ex-Muslims are harder on the group of asshole thugs than any of us.

In a separate statement, Sweden's national police said reasons for such fires are hard to establish and can have different motivations, including provoking authorities, hiding traces in connection with criminal activities and insurance fraud.

Such fires are "not a new phenomenon," Emil Eisersjo of Sweden's national police said. "There is a tendency for a hike in connection with the end of the school year, the beginning of the school year and in the winter when fireworks are on sale" ahead of the New Year.

Systematically setting cars on fire has become a associated with gang violence in suburbs in Sweden's major cities.

Last year, 1,457 cars were 'deliberately' set on fire across Sweden, compared to 1,641 in 2016, according to the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency's figures.

Last year in February, two days after US President Donald Trump's baffling comments linking crime to immigration in Sweden, riots broke out in the immigrant-heavy northern Stockholm suburb of Rinkeby.

Dozens of youths clashed with police after they arrested a suspected drug dealer in Rinkeby. The rioters threw stones at police, burned cars and looted shops.

Still, nothing about 'Muslims'.

Could be. Could be a Coptic Christian too.

Point being, you guys want to believe something so badly you don't care if there is proof or not.
