[quote]The 18-year-old Swedish citizen who was arrested in Kenya on suspicion of trying to recruit young men for terrorist stamped Islamist movement al-Shabaab, going up to the hearing in the court on Monday, according to SVT.
The man sitting in Nairobi's largest prison, where an SVT reporter met him. 18-year-old says he is not long suspected of being a terrorist, is innocent but also that he has been treated well.
The man, with a Somali background, was reportedly arrested on March 28 in the province of Rift Valley in western Kenya. He is convinced that after a court hearing can go back to the Rift Valley to "train".
Swedish Embassy in Nairobi has this weekend been in contact with the authorities.
- They have not been able to get it confirmed that it concerns a Swedish citizen, says Catarina Axelsson at the Ministry's press service on Sunday.[/quote]

He most likely meant an ethnic Swede.
Jeez, you guys sure are antsy to jump on someone with the race/discrimination card, huh.

Please understand there's more to ethnicity than just skin colour.
Oh wait you're American.
Changed to "Swedish citizen" from "Swedish guy" I hope that makes everyone satisfied. Let's stop the derailing, if it's possible...

Somalians who've been in Sweden for decades or the ones who were born there can be considered Swedish when they adapt to the local way of life. But if I were to get a job in Sweden and move there and get a citizenship, I'd still be a Turk, but with a Swedish citizenship.

So, what should the qualification(s) be in order to be a true Swede? Just curious about your answer to this.

You are required to fika a lot, with your mother, sister, father and so on.

I am British, but being British isn't an exclusive ethnic club.

so you're tacitly implying that only one ethnic group in an entire country can call themselves a Swede?
"ive seen many swedes in my time
this one clearly is a fake
and an al-shabaaby one that that"
There's a difference between an ethnicity and citizenship.
Anyone can be a citizen of Sweden, but only a number of people are ethnic Swedes, and they might not exactly be citizens of Sweden either.

Whoa wtf. That doesn't agree with my liberal agenda!!!

If someone saids swede was arrested in Africa, the majority of people (or at least Europeans) think of ethnic swedes, in part because Europe is much more ethnically homogeneous compared to the US.
So yes, the person was a swede by citizenship, but not an ethnic swede.

Might be because, there isn't exactly a clear cut british ethnicity. But you can be English, Scottish or Welsh for instance. Both in citizenship as well as ethnicity.
this thread went to a shit show in 5 posts, god damn
I mean the guy was trying to recruit people for terrorism, fuck him, imprison him, and allow him to never return to Sweden or out of that country he's in now
You should be more worried that this guy got citizenship in the first place, not trying to distance yourselves from him by saying "Oh hes a Somalian, just another immigrant!"
Holy fuck

This will probably just reinforce the anti-immigration agenda in Sweden.

Imprison him in Sweden presumably, seeing as he's a citizen and all.

I believe his point is just that Hellsten's original equation of 'ethnic Swede' with 'actual Swede' is a false one, whatever 'actual' means in this instance.
Swedes are literally terrorists, and not to be trusted.
[QUOTE=Explosions;44473414]Because you can't be a real Swede unless you're white![/QUOTE]
nobody even mentioned race, he was obviously referring to Swedes as people born there.
The fuck is wrong with you lot
