A study by Statistics Sweden finds that foreign-born women had a fertility rate of 2.21 children per woman, while Swedish-born women reproduced at a rate of 1.82 children per woman.Swedenâs overall fertility rate in 2007 was 1.88 children per woman, below the rate of 2.1 children per woman required to replace the population.
Since 1980, the percentage of births registered in Sweden to mothers born outside the country has nearly doubled from 12 percent to 22 percent.
Part of the increase is thought to be related to the increase in the number of foreign born women of childbearing age which has risen from 11 percent of women living in Sweden aged 20 to 40-years-old in 1980 to 18 percent in 2007. According to the report, Swedenâs foreign-born population has increased by more than one million people in the last 50 years and numbered about 1.2 million people in 2007 out of Swedenâs total population of just under 9.2 million.Statistics Sweden projects that Swedenâs foreign-born population will reach 1.7 million by 2050.* ,,,,,,,,Women from Somalia, for example, have the highest fertility rate, averaging 3.9 children per woman in 2007.

Pres fra blogverdenen: “Dutch cabinet gives in: Wilders is no Hitler anymore”
Jeg hĂ„ber virkelig at det holder vand at det var en “lavine af omtale” i blogverdenen der gjorde dette udslag. Man sidder dog tilbage med en bitter fornemmelse, for at det overhovedet kunne lade sig gĂžre at gennemfĂžre denne tilsvining af en folkevalgt med offentlige midler vidner jo om den fremadskridende sclerose i det hollandske demokrati. Dette er ikke sidste gang vi oplever noget lignende, og vĂŠr vis pĂ„ en anden ting: Dette vil ikke mindske iveren i EU efter at fĂ„ stĂŠkket og kontrolleret bloggere som os (LFPC).
Two thousand Dutch schools will receive mail from the state-subsidized Day of Respect Foundation this week. The Foundation is forced by the Dutch cabinet to correct its class material that states that Geert Wilders is to be compared to Adolf Hitler. Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party (PVV) fought bitterly over the last days to have the text withdrawn. […]
Initially the Day of Respect Foundation refused to change its booklet. An international avalanche of publicity, including on many American websites, put tremendous pressure on the Dutch cabinet. Ms Sharon Dijksma, the under-minister of Education, recognized this issue was a no-win situation for her, and put pressure on the Foundation. Therefore, the Day of Respect Foundation will come with a new page that will be send to the schools, asking to use this page instead of the page that states that Wilders is Hitler, and that Wilders has no respect for people that look different. In the debate in Parliament today, Mr Bosma branded the Day of Respect Foundation as a leftist multiculturalist organization that is set up to re-educate the Dutch people. Dutch cabinet gives in: Wilders is no Hitler anymore
Belgisk politimand og dissident i Kafka’sk mareridt
Bart Debie, belgisk politimand, anklages for “racistiske” ytringer han ikke selv har fremsat. Efter en betinget dom pĂ„begynder han en politisk karriere for Vlaams Belang, men bĂ„de politisk og professionel karriere ĂždelĂŠgges da dommen appelleres (LFPC):
[…] While responding to complaints about a pair of drunks, Debie and his policemen were attacked by five Turkish men wielding a baseball bat and a knife. Two witnesses testified to this attack in court. After helping to subdue and arrest the attackers, Debie was called away to supervise a SWAT team elsewhere in Antwerp, and his men returned to the station with the Turkish prisoners, who later claimed they had been beaten and subjected to racism while at the station. Debie believes the beating did indeed occur in his absence, although his ultimate conviction was for creating, as he explains it, “an atmosphere which led other people to say such things” as–get this–“Now we have five lambs here and we can slaughter them.”
Initially, Debie was given a suspended sentence in what turned out to be the first of two trials. “I was very happy with the first sentence,” Debie recalled. The policeman who admitted to making the “racist” comments went unpunished and now serves, Debie told me, on a “team for managing diversity in Antwerp.” Meanwhile, the Turks were never charged for their assault on police.
Having left police work, Debie decided to run for a seat on the Antwerp city council and, as he put it, “make Antwerp safe that way.” He ran as a member of Vlaams Belang, the Establishment-reviled conservative political party that (1) seeks Flemish independence from Belgium, and (2) opposes the Islamization of European culture which Left-wing elites in both Belgium and elsewhere in Europe actually encourage in part to help increase their own constituencies. And Debie won.
It so happens that after Debie was elected, prosecutors appealed his verdict.
Hmmm. I wonder why? Could it be part of the Belgian government’s ongoing campaign against Vlaams Belang, which, as the largest political party in Belgium, presents an continual threat of secession to Belgium (home, after all to “united Europe”) and opposition to Islamization? Even now, two of the leading members of the party, Filip Dewinter and Frank Vanhecke, are facing legal battles of their own to retain their political rights and viability against other completely bogus charges of “racism”-the favored bludgeon of PC Belgians desparate to retain centralized power.
In Debie’s case, this second time around in court, prosecutors got the racism conviction they sought-again, for remarks Debie didn’t make during the station incident Debie wasn’t present for.
And what does a convicted “racist” in Belgium do to make pay his debt to society? So far, Debie has paid fines of E30,000. He long ago lost his police career, and after this recent conviction, the government of Belgium actually stripped him of his political and civil rights for 12 years locally and five years nationally. All of which sounds, frankly, more Old Soviet than Old Europe. […] Diana West: Diana West: Postcards from Europe: Totalitarianism, Belgian-Style
Debie er nu lĂžsladt efter blot fĂ„ timer i fĂŠngsel, men begrundelsen er endnu uklar – muligvis mĂ„ han nu bĂŠre elektronisk fodlĂŠnke (LFPC).
[…] Vi omtalte den forhenvĂŠrende politimand Bart Debies problemer med det belgiske retsvĂŠsen forleden: IdĂžmt fĂŠngselsstraf for ‘racistiske’ udtalelser han ikke selv havde fremsat, men lĂžsladt efter blot Ă©n dags afsoning. Med tabet af sin karriere har Debie betalt en hĂžj pris, men der kan ikke vĂŠre nogen tvivl om at han derved bliver guld vĂŠrd som whistleblower med mulighed for at fortĂŠlle ubesmykket om den beskidte virkelighed i gadehĂžjde.

@LFPC Nej, ifĂžlge UPI har parlamentet faktisk stemt om ophĂŠvelsen af loven: The anti-blasphemy law dates back to the 1930s in the Netherlands and had been the focus of controversy as a number of comedians faced possible censure under the law for making jokes about the Islamic faith. Opponents of the law such as Socialist Party official Jan de Wit argued that the law unfairly protected religious followers while ignoring others’ right to free speech. “The law was already a dead letter, but it is was principally wrong that believers should have more protection than non-believers,” de Wit said after… Read more »
@Johansen: IfĂžlge The Volokh Conspiracy (som er en af mine favoritter) har regeringen ikke afskaffet blasfemiparagraffen helt gratis. Der bliver nemlig foreslĂ„et en udvidelse af hate speech forbuddet, sĂ„ det i praksis ikke gĂžr nogen forskel. BĂ„de hate speech love som § 266 b og blasfemiforbud som § 140 er problematiske, nĂ„r disse udvides til at forbyde angreb pĂ„ religioner eller forhĂ„nelse af disses medlemmer. Begrebet kollektiv ĂŠrekrĂŠnkelse af trosfĂŠllesskaber er ganske enkelt uforenligt med princippet om ytringsfrihed. Hvis man har lyst til at hĂŠvde, at muslimer, kristne eller ateister er parasitter er det selvfĂžlgelig mindre pĂŠnt, men det tilkommer… Read more »
Jeg lÊste ogsÄ historien pÄ GoV, men kan ikke lige her og nu genfinde den. Som jeg husker det var det dog en planlagt stramning af loven der blev opgivet, ikke en opgivelse af blasfemilovgivningen som sÄdan.

Interessante oplysninger og betragtninger.
Utroligt at Holland af alle lande har skippet blasfemiparagraffen.
Jeg er tilhĂŠnger af en udvidelse af ytringsfriheden, hvilket vil sige afskaffelse af krĂŠnkelsesparagrafferne/mundkurvslovene: blasfemiparagraffen og racismeparagraffen.
Injurier og trusler skal der derimod slÄs hÄrdt ned pÄ.
@HelgeD-H Nu mĂ„ du endeligt passe pĂ„, for i visse lande kan man faktisk blive retsforfulgt for hate speech alene for at udtale, at muslimerne overvinder os ved reproduktion. Mark Steyn kom i ufĂžre, fordi han formastede sig til at citere Mullah Krekar for at muslimerne formerer sig som moskitoer. Vores egen § 266 b sondrer ikke mellem sandfĂŠrdige og lĂžgnagtige pĂ„stande men kriminaliserer ytringer pĂ„ basis af et vagt forhĂ„nelses- og nedvĂŠrdigelseskriterium. Jeg har netop lĂŠst to bĂžger, som har gjort et stort indtryk pĂ„ mig. Den ene er The Tyranny of nice af Kathy Shaidle, Pete Vere og… Read more »
Gamle befolkningsfremskrivninger fra 1980, som viser befolkningsudviklingen for fremtiden for etniske danskere isoleret set, vil vise sig at give de mest retvisende oplysninger og vĂŠre det mest pĂ„lidelige materiale. Efter forudsĂŠtningerne fra 1980 ville befolkningstallet i Danmark falde, og der skulle bygges fĂŠrre skoler. Op gennem 90’erne, med den Ăžgede indvandring, blev de “gamle” befolkningsfremskrivninger fra 1980 skrottet og revideret, nu skulle der bygges flere skoler. I dag blandes ĂŠbler og pĂŠrer sammen i det officielle materiale om befolkningsfremskrivningen fra Danmarks Statistik. Og det kan end da vĂŠre befolkningsfremskrivningen skal revideres nok en gang, nĂ„r EUrabia Ăžger indvandringen og nĂ„r… Read more »
Det skal ogsÄ medtages i hvilken alder de fÄr deres bÞrn. Hvis alle indvandrere og deres efterkommere fÄr deres 2.2 bÞrn, nÄr de er 20, mens de oprindelige svenskere fÄr deres 1.8 bÞrn, nÄr de 30 Är sÄ gÞr det en enorm forskel over sigt. De tal kunne vÊre interessante at fremstampe.
Sidste mand lukker og slukker. Denne seneste demografiske fremskrivning kan vel nÊsten kaldes dÞdsstÞdet til den Svenske nation og nationale kultur. Becares, det kan da vÊre den i et par generationer vil leve videre nÄr Svenske flygtninge fejrer hÞjtider under de fremmede himmelstrÞg de nu engang har valgt at flygte til.
1,7 millioner.
Det er jo sindsygt – sĂ„fremt jeg lĂŠser det korrekt. FOr dette tal vil jo, som du ogsĂ„ angiver, ikke indeholde dem der er fĂždt i sverige, altsĂ„ alle de nuvĂŠrende indvandrer og de bĂžrn de fĂžder de nĂŠste fire Ă„rtier. Og hvor de jo har en hĂžjere fĂždselsrate end svenskerne. Og selv de 1,82 er jo nok hĂžjt sat for etniske svenskere – dette tal indeholder jo ogsĂ„ indvandrere der er “Svensk-fĂždte”
“may you live in interesting times” mĂ„ vĂŠre mottoet som regeringen har besluttet sig for skal gĂŠlde for alle fremtidige generationer.
