Link to Swedish Domestic Politics? :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by Alex (United States), Nov 14, 2014 at 16:47

While I understand that Dr.Pipes' discussions were with the Swedish foreign ministry, the recent blog post on this site concerning "no-go zones" in some of Sweden's heavily Muslim communities makes me wonder whether this ministry has a strategy--however tacit--of assuaging Muslim political opinions at home via foreign policy. '

A similar dynamic seems to have been the case n the UK where former FM Jack Straw invited clashes with Israeli diplomats to appeal to his constituency.
