I found this portion particularly interesting:


The Swedish news agency TT said it had received an email warning with a threat to Sweden and its people ahead of the blasts. The agency said the threat was linked to Sweden's presence in Afghanistan, where it has a force of 500 soldiers, mainly in the north.

Further shows that we must withdraw all troops from abroad, because even small interventionist policies can have dire consequences.

"Our actions will speak for themselves, as long as you do not end your war against Islam and humiliation of the Prophet and your stupid support for the pig Vilks," TT quoted a man as saying in one of the recordings.

Vilks depicted the Prophet with the body of a dog in a cartoon in 2007. Most Muslims consider any depiction of the founder of Islam as offensive.

Islam 'Sweden's biggest threat': far-right leader (http://www.thelocal.se/22738/20091019/)

An article by the leader of the far-right Sweden Democrats claiming that Islam is the biggest threat to Sweden since World War II is tantamount to hate speech, according to legal experts.
...

According to Åkesson, “today’s multicultural Swedish power-elite are totally blind to the dangers of Islam.”

He goes on to claim that more than ten Muslim terrorist organizations have established themselves in Sweden, that Sweden has the most rapes in Europe, and that Muslim men are highly overrepresented among the perpetrators.

“As a Sweden Democrat, I see this as our greatest external threat since World War II and I promise to use all my power to change the trend during next year's election,” writes Åkesson.

“It looked as if the man had carried something that exploded in his stomach“ (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/europe/sweden-calls-stockholm-blasts-terrorist-attack/article1834477/)

What kind of exam would this require to find?

As well, when terrorists strike your country based on the your adherence to U.S. foreign policy, does this tend to divide Sweden and the U.S. on foreign policy?... or unite them?
