there's a first time for everything.

[September]

Yesterday afternoon during the christmas shopping in central Stockholm, a suicide bomber blew himself up and a car nearby, close to one of Stockholm's most crowded streets. Luckily, he didn't kill anyone else but himself, but this is surely a warning and a wake up call for most of us. This is the first time something like this has ever happened in Sweden, and people are in shock. We've always thought that things like these wouldn't happen in this safe and calm country. Guess we were proven wrong this time. And this might just be the beginning.

Lars Vilks is a Swedish author and artist. He's mostly known for his parodic drawings of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and this is probably the biggest reason to the bombing that happened yesterday. Another thing that caused this was the fact that we've still got soldiers in Afghanistan, and the muslim society wants us to get them out of there even if they're just there to maintain calm and peace in Afghanistan.

What kind of world are we living in, when even one of the most peaceful places suddenly turns into a target for terrorists? What can we do to stop it? Nothing. Just rely on the police, the politicians and... just stay inside.
