I believe it was a joke on how "Balkan dances" actually originate from Africa. There's also a connection with the Out of Africa theory.

![]() - from 1870 • Prussia, made to look like its walrus-bearded ‘Iron Chancellor’ Otto von Bismarck, is haranguing its neighbours: kneeling on Austria, a sleeping soldier in undress; covering the Netherlands with its right hand. • France, dressed as a fierce zouave soldier, is aiming a bayonet at the heart of the unwieldy Prussian military monster. • Belgium, too small to be anthropomorphised, is being squeezed between France and Prussia (which would become its familiar, if uncomfortable lot in the First and Second World Wars). • England is an old woman, struggling with Ireland, her rebellious lapdog on a leash (although it looks more like a small bear); Scotland is the old lady’s mobcap. • Spain is a rotund senorita, smoking the day away while lying on her back and thus nearly crushing the small Portuguese soldier under her. • Corsica and Sardinia are joined to show a leprechaun-like figure gleefully mooning the map-reader. • Italy, possibly made to look like the great national leader Garibaldi, is holding off pressure from Prussia. • Denmark is a small, swaggering soldier, no doubt hoping to recover Holstein, the territory it lost to Prussia in a war a few years earlier. • Norway and Sweden are together turned into a ferocious dog. • Switzerland is a closed cottage. • Turkey in Europe is “an Oriental crushed by the superincumbent pressure of the other countries”. • Turkey in Asia is a girl smoking a hookah pipe. • Russia is a rag-collector in a patched coat, ‘Crimea’ written on the patch sewn on last.

"If I become a Muslim, I can rape whoever I want!" It is the partyleader Lars Ohly from The Left Party. |

Almost like "Everyone are going with (the Social Democrats)" "Alla" is "all" or everyone/everything in Swedish. I guess you all know what "Allah" is.

This gem was taken during my last school trip to Central America.
Rape has different meanings in different languages. But still... My favorite part is the guy throwing the peace signs up on the air.

The woman was really stupid somewhere in time, maybe she drank too much and made a mistake, but had the courage of taking an adult attitude when she sobered up. She better marry with someone serious and forget about who was the one-night-stander. |
