Prime Minister Stefan Lofven of Sweden has admitted his country has a problem with anti-Semitism in general and the attitudes of immigrants from the Middle East in particular.**********
Just three days before Mr. Lofven spoke, a group of around 20 masked men hurled firebombs at a Gothenburg synagogue, hours after an anti-Israel march in Sweden’s second largest city.
MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE RANCH:
Three men have been arrested and charged in connection with a brawl involving men wielding long sticks in a Brampton commercial plaza last Sunday that left one man injured. Peel Regional Police were called for a report of a fight between two large groups of men in the parking lot.**********
On Friday, three men, Gurpreet Singh, 20, Karanbir Singh, 22 and Harbir Singh, all from Brampton, were arrested and charged.
LAST WORD: Those violent, misogynistic Lutherans...
Police believe Taher Hashemi, 47, went to the east-end Ottawa hair salon intending to kill his partner, Paravaneh Hamzeh, a hairdresser who was working the day of the attack.
Police allege Hashemi stabbed Hamzeh in the arm and face, then stabbed himself.
