Unless you’re a news junkie, you probably have not heard much about two explosions occurring on a crowded street in central Stockholm, Sweden yesterday. If you heard about the incident at all, you heard that the suspects were unidentified.

Just as everyone thought, police have now confirmed that it was a suicide bombing, which left the bomber dead and two people injured. It would be the first such attack ever recorded in Sweden. Police have refused to comment on the motive.

However,a Swedish news agency broke the politically-correct Cone of Silence. They reported that they received an e-mail threat right before the attack. The sender said that he had visited the Middle East “for jihad,” referring to the country’s soldiers in Afghanistan and a cartoon of Muhammad that torqued off the Muslim world.

Sweden has not raised its terror threat alert, however, police are investigating the attacks as “a crime of terror,” according to spokesman Anders Thornberg:

When we go through the existing criteria and the series of events that occurred it fits well within the description of a terror crime.

Thornberg would not confirm local media reports that the dead murderer had explosives strapped to his body. He also refused to say that the man was a suspected suicide bomber, but he did say that police have “a totally clear picture about that” but were not sharing the information.

He said that, so far, were no indications so far that other people were involved.

I wonder if he’s a relative of New York City Mayor Bloomberg?  The rhetoric’s sure the same.

The attack consisted of a car exploding near the shop-lined pedestrian-only Drottninggatan street. Then, a second explosion hit higher up on the same street. According to witnesses, a man was seen lying on the ground afterward with blood appearing to come from his abdomen.

The exploded car contained gas canisters, per rescue workers.

Ten minutes before the blasts, Swedish news agency TT received an e-mail saying “the time has come to take action.” According to the news agency, the e-mail referred to Sweden’s silence surrounding artist Lars Vilks’ 2007 drawing of Muhammad as a dog and to its presence in Afghanistan, where it has about 500 soldiers in the NATO force.

The e-mail read:

Now your children, daughters and sisters shall die like our brothers and sisters and children are dying.

The man said he visited the Middle East “for jihad,” but that he could not tell his wife or child about it:

I never went to the Middle East to work or to earn money, I went there for jihad.

Vilks’ drawing in a local Swedish newspaper infuriated Muslims. In May, somebody unsuccessfully tried to burn down his home in southern Sweden after he showed a film about Islam and homosexuality during a lecture at Uppsala University.

And how is the Obama Administration trying to protect us from these “man-caused disasters”?

In a speech Friday night,  Attorney General Eric Holder basically said that our government will not start profiling Muslims anytime soon.

During a speech to Muslim Advocates, based out of San Francisco,(of course) Holder informed them that he’s heard from many Muslim and Arab Americans who feel uneasy and singled out by law enforcement.

Yeah, but they sure won’t speak out against Terrorism very much, will they?

Muslim Advocates is one of several groups complaining about hate crimes, alleged rights violations at the hands of law enforcement and the tactics used in anti-terrorism cases.

Recent sting operations by the FBI and Justice Department have thwarted plots against a Portland, Ore., Christmas celebration, Dallas skyscrapers, Washington subways, a Chicago nightclub and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Undercover agents in these cases have let suspects make clear they wanted to carry out an attack and gave them a chance to change their mind, according to the government.

Holder told the group of Muslims and their supporters that he would make “no apologies” for the the way his people handled the case against Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, a Somali-born Muslim accused of plotting to set off a bomb in Oregon.

Those who characterize the FBI’s activities in this case as ‘entrapment’ simply do not have their facts straight or do not have a full understanding of the law.”

Mohamud has pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted murder of federal officers and attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction. After his arrest, an Islamic center where he occasionally worshipped was set on fire.

Critics have called the stings entrapment of people who otherwise couldn’t have carried out an attack and said the government has been enticing Muslims into terrorism.

Muslim Advocates executive director Farhana Khera, who invited Holder to speak to the group, said:

We have very serious concerns about FBI surveillance tactics that are used. We believe that law enforcement has an important job to protect us as a country but they should do so mindful of the rules of justice and fairness that are at the core of our criminal justice system.

Americans are seriously concerned about the Holy Jihad that members of your religion have declared against our country, Farhana.

Holder received thunderous applause and a standing ovation at the conclusion of his speech. Muslims and their supporters attending said they felt reassured by his remarks on protecting the civil liberties of Muslim Americans.

Because, Lord knows, it’s the ugly, barbaric Christian Americans that are to blame for the Terrorist attacks around the world.  Gimme a break.
