The new normal

The new normal
Like I said in a previous post. The Swedish Security Service has raised the terrorist threat level from level 3 to level 4. So this is the new normal. Police armed with automatic weapon patrolling the streets, like here at Sergels torg. The reason behind it. It started with the Danish/Swedish right-wing provocateur Rasmus Paludan burning the Quran. He was followed by another nutter, Salwan Momika who also enjoys burning the Quran. I was in Stockholm last week when he did that. I was on the other side of the water, but I could hear a lot of screaming and shouting as people were protesting about his actions. All of this upset a bunch of religious leaders in the Middle East, and they started talking about a holy war against Sweden. Swedish authorities also claim that Russia have something to do with all of this by planting fake news in social media. If you would like to know more, check out this Wikipedia article.

I think this will become the new normal in so many places. Very sad.

This has been normal in France for at least 10 years

At least she is smiling at you. Normally I would get bullied or arrested for taking a photo of them.

La mecha ya está encendida y ahora hay que apagar el fuego. No son buenos tiempos, los que se está viviendo ahora.
