Talk:Jackie Arklöv
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Confirm these facts
Found this on a blog:
| “ | After his military service in Sweden he went to France in december ´92 to join the foreign legion. It only lasted a few weeks. It was there he decided to go to Croatia. Jackie was hooked up with a HOS-unit stationed around Mostar. After 15 months in Bosnia he went home to Sweden but left only a couple of months later for Bosnia. He got caught one night by Bosnian soldiers, after having wandered over a street that marked the front-line in Mostar in a drunken stupor. For obvious reasons, Arklöv was recognized by many from his time as a camp guard in the city of Capljina and was convicted. | ” |

[edit] Nazi
He has recently stated that he finds the fact that he was a nazi "absurd". I, however, don't have the time to correct this myself. Would someone else please make the effort of finding a source for that fact? Cambrant 19:01, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

- I can only speak in rumors here. but this guy was pretty infamous as "the neo-nazi negro" during my younger years in Sweden during the 80s/90s. one of the legends surrounding his name was that he had gotten himself sterilized not to propagate his race. The .se entry in wikipedia states (loosely translated) "Arklöv has been active within Swedish neo-nazi circles, but have during his recent imprisonment attempted to distance himself from the connection, saying that he thought it strange to have been a neo-nazi, but at the same time a negro. Using the same argument, nationalsocialist organizations deny that they would ever have let him be a member." Here's a link to a thelocal.se where they briefly discuss his neo-nazi past [2] "Arklöv has renounced his previous neo-Nazi ideology while in prison." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Poposhka (talk • contribs) 21:21, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, and here is an article in Swedish. [3] In an interview with TT (Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå) he says (loosely translated by me): "Jag är på ett sätt glad att jag sitter inne. Annars hade jag kanske aldrig kommit till insikt, säger han." "I'm sortof happy that i'm locked up. Otherwise i would never have come to reach this insight, he says"; "Arklöv tycker själv att det är konstigt att han varit nazist. Man behöver ju bara titta sig i spegeln, säger han." "Arklöv thinks himself that it's strange that he used to be a nazi. All i have to do is to look in the mirror, he says". "Sin förra idévärld beskriver han som ett osmakligt hopkok av hat och ilska, utanförskap och motgångar och ett starkt intresse för militära frågor, fokuserat på Tredje rikets armé. Därifrån var steget till nazismen kort."; "He describes his previous mindset as a distasteful brew of hatred and anger, isolation and difficulties and a great interest in military matters, focused on the armies of the Third Reich. The step from there to Nazism was short".--Popoi 21:30, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
