            puritanical  teachings  of  the  Quran.  Once  these  two
            worlds collide, it becomes a question of power. The
            Globalist  notion  that  man  is  good  contradicts  the
            Christian  teachings  that  man  needs  God’s  guidance
            through his Word to be good.
                 In the spirit of globalism, Sweden has accepted
            more  immigrants  per  capita  than  any  other  country.
            Immigration can be good for a country; America has
            been a success as the world’s melting pot because its
            cultural diversity made it vibrant. The migrants were
            able  to  offer  a  positive  contribution  to  the  nation’s
            economy and the number of immigrants were not so
            large as to destroy the identity of the country. Before
            the advent of the large social welfare state, immigrants
            had to contribute to society. The effect of immigration
            on a nation that has generous welfare programs is a
            different thing.
                 When  the  media  in  much  of  Europe  report  on
            migrant crimes, instead of punishing the perpetrators,
            the authorities can prosecute people for hate crimes.
            Chapter  15,  Section  8  of  Sweden’s  criminal  code
            prohibits the expression of “disrespect” towards favored
            minority groups. The law carries a penalty of up to four
            years  of  imprisonment.  It  requires  no  evidence  of
            incitement to violence and lacks any objective standard
            for identifying “disrespect.”
                 A Swedish appeals court overturned the convic-
            tion of Pastor Ake Green, the first clergyman convicted
            under the law, citing free speech protections. The court
            sentenced  Pastor  Green  to  one  month  in  jail  for  a
            sermon that he preached to his congregation in 2003 on
            Biblical  texts  addressing  homosexuality.  If  a  person
