My definition of Skår

Some words are not in my Swedish dictionary. Apparently, This is because they are considered to be Norwegian. So, I make up my own definition.

Agape versus Jihad

Jihad is holy war against infidels. Agape (agapazomenoi) means to treat with affection. No a priori connection need exist between the subject and object of the affection. It is used in contrast to philia (an affection arising from friendship, brotherhood or other contexts of a non-sexual nature) and eros, an affection of a sexual nature.

I watched a video by a Swedish couple living in Muslim neighborhood. They mentioned being approached by the neighborhood kids to inquiring whether they were Muslim. They started to explain that they weren't very religious at all, when they were interrupted by their own little kid. He shouted defiantly saying in effect: No! We are Christians.

The following video is from a program on SVT:
