[Praag.org] Opponents to a proposed asylum center in the Swedish town of Gullberg came up with a plan to deter Muslim immigrants from coming.Residents in the Swedish town of Gullberg opposed to controversial plans to build a center to house asylum seekers in the town, sent a letter to the Swedish Migration Board threatening to build a pig farm next to the building if the plan goes ahead, reports Sveriges Radio.
The letter, signed by 'The interest group for Gullberg's survival,' outlined plans to build the farm next to the disused school building in the municipality of Mark, with "only an electric fence between the animals and the school, of about 20 meters."
"It's probably an impossible situation for certain religions. Above all Muslims."
Politician Henry Sandahl, from the Mark branch of Sweden's Countryside Party told P4 that though he had nothing to do with the letter, he supported the sentiment:
"It's as big an inconvenience to asylum applicants if they are not comfortable with the pigs as it is for neighbors to get 60 asylum seekers. The principle is the same, they are both a nuisance but on different planes."
