Well, in practice, it's like this. You can complain about christians as much as you want. You can call them whatever you want, and I even saw the former Minister of justice, Tomas Bodström, on TV saying that all christians should be wiretapped because of a hightened risk of hatecrime. And on the RFSL(gaylobby) yearly gay/pedophile/trans-parade they even threw darts at images of famous christians. However, if you say anything negative, and I mean anything negative about Islam or any other religion, your a islamophobe, or other *phobe. This of course also applies to homosexuality, "thanks to" the very strong gaylobby in sweden you risk up to 4 years in prison, if you say anything negative about homosexuality as an act, and I do not mean that you criticise them as people but to question that homosexuality is not something you are born into, but rather a lifestyle, could land yourself in jail.
Your english translation of the swedish phrase is way, way off. "Sexuella abnormiteter", is just what it says, Sexual abnormities, or even sexual perversions. So the DA wanted to sentence a preacher for saying that Sexual abnormities is a deep tumour on society, to four years imprisonment. The highest court in sweden freed the man with a statment saying -We would like to imprison him, however, we can not, for the EU court would free him.
