		<description><![CDATA[One of the matters that has surprised me most after Migrant Tales scooped more information about the tragic death of a Somali national in Oulu Monday is total disrespect for the victim.  Finland and the Nordic region have not been the same after the April election and when Anders Breivik went on the rampage in Norway in July killing 77 victims. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nemoo.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1170923&amp;post=9294&amp;subd=nemoo&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The reaction and threads concerning the tragic death of a Somali national in Oulu, Finland, Tuesday after three white Finnish suspects entered his home by force reveals the strong divide between "us" and "them."We still have a long ways to go as a society to deal with social ills like discrimination. Paradoxically, tragedies like what happened in Oulu bring us ever-closer to the issue. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nemoo.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1170923&amp;post=9271&amp;subd=nemoo&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Kaleva, the Oulu daily, quotes Antti Räsänen of the police stating that "nothing points to racism [hate crime] but we haven't ruled out that possibility." <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nemoo.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1170923&amp;post=9268&amp;subd=nemoo&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Even if the daily blames the rise of the Perussuomalaiset (PS) party for our country's questionable image abroad, the real culprits are none other than us.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nemoo.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1170923&amp;post=9231&amp;subd=nemoo&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
