Malcontents in Malmö

Unknown vandals threw rocks and a firecracker at the Jewish community building in the Swedish city of Malmö , breaking a window in the entrance door. No one was injured, but the incident raised concerns about an anti-Semitic motive in a city where some Jews say they have been harassed by Muslim immigrants. Prosecutor Hans Harding said the investigation pointed  to "a derailed prank by a group of friends seeking attention."  Yeah, right...
Laughing Conservative once had the misfortune to stay overnight in Malmö on his way to a funeral. Even allowing for the doleful occasion, he found it to be a city with that unique blend of superciliousness and  hostility that characterizes many Swedes.
