Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch is currently visiting Sweden at the invitation of Sverigedemokraterna (the Sweden Democrats), the only mainstream political party in Sweden that opposes mass immigration and the Islamization of Europe.

A Swedish reader has translated an article from Aftonbladet about Mr. Spencer’s visit. The translator remarks that the Islamic spokesman quoted by Aftonbladet — Mohammed Kharraki, the president of Sweden’s Young Muslims — is a thoroughgoing Islamist and an anti-Semite.
Note: this is a news article, and not an editorial. Such is the Swedish MSM:
Islam-hater speaks for the Sweden Democrats
Almedalen — The Sweden Democrats are using Almedalen to propagandize against Islam — with the help of the American Islamophobe Robert Spencer.
“He is one of the most dangerous ones,” says Mohammed Kharraki, president of Sweden’s Young Muslims.
The author Robert Spencer believes that a Muslim lobby seeks to destroy the Western society. He argues that the West is threatened to be forced into Islam. Today he speaks in Almedalen for the Sweden Democrats.
“Will take over Europe”
“The Muslim collective would like to expand its influence in the West in order to establish enclaves in Western Europe. As in Malmö, where Islamic law rules, in reality,” said Spencer on his view of Sweden.
You see Islam as a real threat to the West?
“Yes, of course. Islam’s goal is to dominate, not to be dominated. So said the Prophet Mohammed. There are countless witnesses who have heard Muslim leaders express that Islam will take over Europe and the USA,” he says.
SD’s International Secretary, Kent Ekeroth, agrees:
“Jihad is a long-term threat to Sweden and Europe. We already see tendencies: demands for Sharia law in Sweden, adaptation by the community, and violence in the wake of a large Muslim population in Gothenburg and Rosengård, he says.
“How do you regard the fact that Spencer is accused of Islamophobia?
“Islamophobia is when you have an unwarranted fear of anything, but our fear of Islam is not unfounded, and this Robert Spencer will explain,” says Kent Ekeroth.
“Strong racist views”
But Mohammed Kharraki, president of Sweden’s Young Muslims, is critical:
“Robert Spencer belongs to a group of debaters who have very strong racist views. He tries to paint a picture of Muslims as a threat to society,” he says.
