Swedish Guy Walks Through Malmö with a Skullcap

Sounds like the beginning of a bar joke, but this is a show called "Uppdrag Granskning", which I guess means Mission Scrutiny?

After the recent Paris attacks, Journalist Petter Ljunggren thought about how Malmö has something of a reputation around the world for antisemitism, but nothing to do with neonazi skinheads. He wanted to explore both discrimination against Muslims in Europe and Muslim hatred for Jews. This part focuses on the latter.

Doesn't Swedish sound cool? I haven't listened to the language since I wandered into the original Girl with the Dragon Tattoo screening, having no previous idea what it was about. A friend offered for me to come along when he went to Stockholm on business, but I didn't make it. I doubt I'll ever go.

I've not had a chance to watch it yet but that sounds awful.

I googled because I'd not heard about Malmo. This seemed to offer some hope perhaps:

Malmö's Muslim community supports the city's Jews, local representatives told the Swedish Kvållsposten on Thursday - despite rampant anti-Semitism in the city often perpetrated by Muslims themselves.

On Thursday, Malmö's Jewish synagogue erected a wall around its main complex, after threats, insults, and vandalism were perpetrated against the building and the congregation.

"This is absolutely about anti-Semitism," local Muslim representative Sheikh Salahuddin Barakat stated to Kvållsposten, "and there are probably young people of Muslim background who are behind it. But just because there is a conflict about Palestine does not make it right [for the perpetrators to] act as they did."

Barakat added that he himself is "exposed" by his own religious garb to insults and threats.

"I know how it feels and do not want anyone else to have to deal with this," he said. "The Jews should not feel that they need to move from the city. They are part of Malmö's history and culture."

Barakat made headlines for taking this expression of solidarity one step further last week; he and another member of his mosque presented Malmö Jewish leader Rabbi Shneur Kesselman with flowers, and a note reading, ""To Rabbi Shneur Kesselman, the Jewish congregation in Malmö and all the Jews of Malmö - Malmö would not be complete without you!"

The flowers were accepted enthusiastically, Jewish community leaders said.
