RE: Sweden gets first islamist political party!
Why is it that we suddenly have oppose what's been working for us for a long time? Believe in whatever you want but keep it to yourself.

keep it to your self huh?
does that apply to you as well?
Read that back and, yeah, poorly worded on my part. Freedom of speech does apply to all, of course, even the believers in different religions.
What I meant with what's been working for us for a long time is the secularisation of the state and church and how everyone is free to believe and practice any religion they want, as long as it doesn't start to take over and change the free society to something entirely else.
Freedom of speech and thought must be regarded above religion for that type of society to work at all. You have to be able to criticise the things you don't like without being afraid of going to jail. Like in the example of Lars Vilks. He's able to talk about the things he's talking about within the framework of the Swedish society, but he wouldn't have been able to do that in Jasin's society where it would be forbidden to make fun of, or criticise any religion or religious person, etc.
"Believe in whatever religion you want but don't make politics out of it." should've been more proper in this context.
Please let me know if it's anything else!
I have a different theory.
Thumbnail version....any group of people greater than about 200 begins to act irrationally from the point of view of an individual.
