Sweden has had this year’s first national trauma. On 31 March an elderly couple were going to park their car outside a supermarket in Landskrona, a town in the south-west of Sweden. They found a parking lot for disabled persons, but it was occupied by a young man in his twenties. The old man honked in order to make the young man move. The young man, later found to be Ahmad Akileh, born in 1986 in Lebanon, got offensed and a quarrel began. Akileh threw the old man, 72 years old, onto the hood of his car and punched brutally. His wife, 78 years old, saw the abuse and went up to help her husband. She was also assaulted and got punched so hard that she fell to the ground and hit her head seriously. The young man fled. The following day the old woman died from her injuries. The national trauma was a fact. How could a young man do such a horrible thing to an elderly couple?
Some of the local companies promised to give a sum of money to the person who could help the police to find the perpetrator. The rumours started. Landskrona is a town that has severe problems with unemployment, mass immigration, segregation, and crime is on the increase especially among the young immigrant gangs. People don’t dare to go outdoors alone in the evening anylonger.
After some days Akileh was found. His mother said directly that it wasn’t his intention to kill the woman. It appeared that his wife, his new-born daughter and a brother also had been in the car at the scene of the crime. Apparently, they had done nothing to help the old couple, for example helping them or calling the police.
The leaders of four local Muslim associations held a press conference to deplore the “accident” and warn that it could “cause xenophobia”. Indeed. That’s the real news angle here. That’s the ticket: A purely hypothetical outbreak of violent attacks on Muslims always trumps actual violent attacks on non-Muslims. And the Swedish press suddenly forgot about the victim and started writing sobstories about the perpetrator. “Now he cannot hold his little baby anylonger” and suchlike articles were to be found, and one in the tabloid the Expressen.
It is as usual utterly important for the press to emphasize that this was a crime perpetrated by an individual and that is very uncommon and will probably never happen again. It could have been anyone, they state repeatedly. This way of trying to smooth things over when the setting involves immigration cannot be seen in other matters. It is not the case when it comes to a crime of violence towards a woman. Then it is always a symptom of the patriarchal society that all men participate to build and uphold. So all men are on principle guilty when one woman is abused. Different reasoning apparently applies for different topics.
A “ordinary” conclusion in the politically correct media is that the blame almost must be put on the political party the Sweden Democrats. This has become a common dodge for the media in order to have a scapegoat when immigrants are involved in something negative. This accusation was especially suitable, since the Sweden Democrats had got more than 20 per cent of the votes in the recent election in Landskrona. So it simply must be their fault, something that was stated in the subsequent debate!
On the Internet the name of the perpetrator was published early, in contrast to the politically correct media where the perpetrators always are kept in the dark particularly if he is an immigrant. On the Internet people could also say the truth behind the criminal development in Landskrona and elsewhere, i.e. that the mass immigration has caused precarious situations in Landskrona and in a considerable number of other places. But this fact is absolutely unmentionable officially. The on-line publication led to a debate according to which the hatred on the Internet was alleged to be spiteful. At last this alleged hatred seemed to be even worse than the crime itself. Now the media’s role had turned into defending the perpetrator. This poor guy had been so maltreated and slandered on the Internet.
On 5 April there was a manifestation in Landskrona against the violence. But TV4 called it a manifestation against racism. In consideration of the perpetrator? So the attacked woman had not been exposed to a racist crime? The low-water mark is the tabloid Expressen that finally accuses everyone who is against the murder of being racists. Or how should their article otherwise be interpreted?
Would the wrath in Landskrona have been exactly as severe, if the suspected perpetrator had been blond and blue-eyed?
The newspaper makes excuses for the violence and tries to blame those who are against it. Sweden’s national trauma has consequently led to a medial trauma and it might be the last straw.
Very good summary, Cavatus!
Thanks. I tried to make it short, but it is almost impossibe.
I know what you mean, Cavatus. Sometimes you just can’t keep quiet about things like this any longer.
“his wife … and a brother also had been in the car at the scene of the crime. Apparently, they had done nothing to help the old couple, for example helping them or calling the police.”
Perhaps because they were too preoccupied with egging him on. Arselifters are generally cowards when alone and prefer to operate in packs, so I suspect his brother might have been involved rather than being a spectator.
“The leaders of four local Muslim associations held a press conference”
Another common arselifter ploy. They perpetrate violence then close ranks behind claims that they shouldn’t be blamed.
“Now he cannot hold his little baby any longer”
Yes, that’s a real shame. Too bad it doesn’t matter to the media that the victim can no longer hold his wife (as another report so succinctly noted).
“that is very uncommon and will probably never happen again”
Oh, yes! Meanwhile in Sydney –
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/04/07/2865928.htm
And that’s just one of thousands that will “never happen again”!
Disgusting act but a perfect summation of the Marxist forces at play in covering and excusing this kind of behaviour, and indeed, turning the situation around so that people are actually supposed to feel sorry for the perpetrator rather then the victim.
“Now he cannot hold his little baby anylonger” – definitely couldn´t hold his baby before; needed his fists to hit a man of 72 and kill his wife. The most disgusting sentence I ever read in a newspaper – and believe me, there are some fine specimens of journalistic brutality against victims where I live (Germany), too.
I cannot express how sorry I am for the brave dead woman and her husband and her bereaved family and friends.
Isn’t it just precious?! Poor, poor misunderstood Muslim can’t hold his baby, boohoo… The Swedes are such haters… and rasistnazifascistislamophobes. How dare they accuse him of anything?! It was just a slight misunderstanding, he didn’t mean to beat the cr-p out of the old couple. Just to teach them a little lesson to not bother the people of the Master Race/Religion!
Yes, clearly the poor arselifter was disabled. Why else would he be parking in a spot allocated to the disabled?
Mental disability can be just as bad as physical disability.
A very good summary of the case and an excellent analysis of the dire media climate in Sweden. It seems like most journalists are viewing reality through coloured and distorting glasses.

Fascinating experience of US actor James Woods –

“But on the other hand, it’s not like after thousands of incidents of terrorism in the past 20 or 30 years, that you know, we have to worry a lot about like Swedish terrorists, OK?”
Ugh,such a disgusting act. It’s time that the beautiful swedish people stand up and take back their country. If not,the wonderful heritage of sweded will be lost forever. Racism be damned,this is survival. It may as well be genocide. Tighten immigration laws,export all “asylum seekers” who do nothing but drain resources,murder and rape the swedish people,and stop all of this bleeding heart left wing crap. Until people stand up and voice their anger and frustrations,this will continue until sweden is a muslim nation. It’s up to you,people. Sit back and go extinct,or fight for your rights and your people!!!
I found this report about arselifter crime in Sweden on another site –
http://barenakedislam.wordpress.com/2010/04/22/sweden-muslim-immigrant-violence-is-out-of-control/
These young heroes that saved the girl’s life live don’t live far away from where I live, actually. They were later rewarded by the local municipality for their courage.
Cavatus, that’s good to hear. I only hope the arselifters aren’t out looking for revenge.
The defence lawyer is trying to make it look like an accident. “It wasn’t his intention” and states that the old woman had such bad and weak veins so it wasn’t the perpetrator’s fault anyway!! He wants him to be completely freed. And in court the prosecutor decided to remand the perpetrator in custody once more, which lead to anarchy in the courtroom. The mother threw an object at the judge, there was spitting on officials and a threatening grudging among the perpetrator’s family and friends. So much for that religion of peace!!
LOL! Cavatus, the way they behave is hysterical. They do that here too. Then they wonder why they get long prison sentences!
If only he could be executed. That would shock the arselifters no end.
And so they get away with murder, as usual.
Two can play at that game. Note, I’m not advocating anything here.

I am not Sweddish or German…I am FRENCH…You know, France…that country that USED to be free, happy, with nice countrysides and Eiffel tower.
As many people from Scandinavia or Germany often come in France for holidays you certainly have seen how it becomes here…What France is becoming. We have the same problems than you but here it is far more serious…it is DRAMATIC…
By 2050, or maybe before, we’ll be an ISLAMIC nation…I am sure, absolutely sure, one day Chariah will rule here…and European people will be obliged to convert or die…all freedom, joice, will die…woman won’t be allowed to go out without the burka, and all the horrors that come with the extremist version of Islam…
Look at US, people of EUROPE, my brothers, my cousins…Look at US the FRENCH and REALIZE that WE ARE YOUR FUTURE !!! The SAME THING is gonna happen in Germany, Italy, Sweden, Netherlands and all one day…
Wake up, brothers ! Wake up ! May our exemple be USEFUL so that the suicide and disparition of France culture be useful to the other European people…We have in common several thousand years of history…all the European culture, please save it, cause we won’t do that, it is already too late for us.
A real (it’s not simulation) broken hearted Frenchman…
All is not lost. The LDF are responding to the threat –
http://madaboutmahound.blogspot.com/2010/11/ldf-throws-down-gauntlet-to-arselifters.html
What the French need to do is get more of the news out to an international audience so that everyone is aware of what’s going on. Invite others over to help too. The EDL will be over in a shot. So will the Dutch and Germans. And most likely the Italians and Spanish too.
