Sweden has extended border controls with its southern neighbor Denmark until May to battle the illegal migration flow, after Brussels agreed to extend the emergency border checks
Over one million migrants and refugees arrived in Europe in 2015. The influx of people into the continent caused disputes amongst EU states over how to manage the flow. One of the solutions found by some states was not to allow migrants in.

Sweden, as we all know, has been bombarded with migrants. They've found it necessary to put certain border controls in place in order to combat illegal immigration, which is a very common-sense thing that just about every country in the world does. I felt it important to point this story out in comparison to the recent MSM news about Trump "banning Muslims" or protecting the southern border with Mexico. Nations all over the world protect their borders - even the ones who are doing the most to take in refugees.

Shouldn't your thread title be the title of the article instead of blatant click bait.
I cant find where it says Sweden banned muslims in the article.

Sweden’s controls along its border with Denmark will be continued for three more months when they expire on February 11.
“The need for order and security remains high,” Swedish PM Stefan Löfven told the news agency TT. “We are still in an uncertain state.”
Border controls were introduced in late 2015 to curb the number of asylum-seekers trying to get into Sweden. Despite sharply declining numbers of asylum-seekers, Sweden has chosen to extend the checks.
US President Donald Trump's Muslim ban is nothing new to the rulers of Kuwait.
Syrians, Iraqis, Iranians, Pakistanis and Afghans have not been able to obtain visit, tourism or trade visas to Kuwait since 2011, in a move which seemingly pre-empted US restrictions on seven Muslim-majority countries.
Passport holders from the countries are not allowed to enter the Gulf state while the blanket ban is in place, and have been told not to apply to visas.
Kuwaiti sources originally told local media that the restrictions were in place due to the "instability" in the five countries and that the ban would be lifted once the security situation improves.

I am a White, 52 year old Conservative male, from the South and I have nothing against Muslims in general, only those who use their religion as an excuse to harm others. I don't hate anyone based on their color, sexual preference or their religion, so, no, not "everyone" hates Muslims.
I won't comment on Liberals.

I used to feel the same way. But then I noticed that, as in a few of the videos above, when authority looks the other way or they grow to sufficient number, the true colors shine through and the violence begins. At this point I honestly do not believe there is such a thing as a moderate muslim any more. There are only muslims who lack the sufficient number to act out on their beliefs and instincts. As their numbers grow I fully expect to see them behave the same way as these criminals.
For the record, at least on this subject, I would be very happy to have to admit I was wrong.
