| Sweden: Men convicted of Livets Ord terror plan | |
| 2006-06-14 | |
| Two young men were convicted on Wednesday of planning an attack on the evangelical Word of Life (Livets Ord) church in Uppsala. Stockholm district court sentenced one of the men to three years and six months imprisonment and the other to two years. A third man was jailed for eight months for planning an unspecified attack together with the other two. The three were convicted of conspiracy to commit terrorist acts, among other offences. Livets Ord is a powerful Swedish Christian evanglical movement, which among other things operates large schemes to encourage Russian Jews to move to Israel. Its church in Uppsala has the largest capacity of any house of worship in Europe. The two men convicted of the Livets Ord conspiracy, ages 25 and 22, were also convicted of attempting an act of terror when they last December threw Molotov cocktails at an Iraqi polling place in Kista, Stockholm. The court reasoned that the attack aimed "to instil serious fear among the Swedish people and not only among Iraqi voters in Sweden and among Livets Ord followers." The court also said that if the attacks had achieved their aims, they would have caused serious harm to Sweden. It is a fundamental interest of a democratic state that a parliamentary election can be carried out without disturbance and in a secure manner, the court said.

| #10 May not be muslims in this case. From Wiki: "According to some of its critics it is considered a cult, though much of the cultishness has been tuned down. In a disputed study, forty-three former students of Livets Ord Bible School were interviewed and nearly 50 percent of them had experienced psychosis-like symptoms, and 25 percent had attempted suicide. Also common was anxiety, feelings of guilt, and emotional disorders. There has also been some criticism against donations given to Israeli's which have promoted settlements in disputed territories. The movement advocates Christian Zionism. The teaching methods and parts of the curriculum of schools run by Livets Ord has been under review by the Swedish National Agency for Education on several occasions." |
