The obvious impact of Mohammeds early messages must have come from the powerful poetic content and suggestive, repetitie form of the sermons to his congregations. Already in the 50th I met an Islamic missionary in Stockholm - and being an atheist myself thought it very funny that a country sponsoring Christian missionaries all over the world now had to face Muslim missionaries. At the end of the last century labor immigrants from Turkey came to Sweden. In some communities like ours there was a significant part from Turkey and suddenly we discovered that they were Muslims. I was active during this period in local self government and did not know very much about Islam.
