On a per capita basis Sweden leads the Western world in welcoming Muslim migrants. You know, the migrants who are so happy to join an advanced Western culture that they assimilate easily into the new culture.
OK, not exactly. Muslim migrants have made Sweden a world leader in per capita rapes. And these same Muslim migrants have brought a crime wave to the otherwise tranquil and extremely naive Swedes.
When you read Judith Bergman’s report about crime in Sweden, written for the Gatestone Institute, you understand the wonders of being tolerant to foreign cultures. And you find it increasingly incomprehensible and outrageous that foreign governments would force Muslims into reeducation camps.
Bergman opens with a public statement made by the Swedish police on August 29. Thus, it comes from an official source:
Recently, there have been serious incidents and serious acts of violence linked to criminal networks, in which several people have been murdered and others seriously injured…
In Stockholm, two people were murdered in the past week, and in Gothenburg, criminal groups have tried to demonstrate power by controlling vehicles entering certain districts. Earlier in August, an innocent 12-year-old girl was murdered... [during a gang incident], and in other parts of the country there are conflicts between various criminal networks and other ruthless crime, as well. On Friday night, a violent riot also occurred in Malmö where several police officers were injured...
One understands that the punctilious Swedes prefer not identifying the ethnicity of the perpetrators of these violent acts-- because it makes them feel more tolerant as criminal gangs take over their cities.
The nation’s police chief also emphasized that the police are seriously outmanned and outgunned:
Sweden's National Police Chief, Anders Thornberg, made what sounded like a plea for help from the rest of society: "Swedish police are in a tough operational situation. It is now a matter of society joining forces behind the police," he said.
"We will continue to fight organized crime with all the tools we have available. Other good forces in society, everything from municipal officials and civil society to law enforcement agencies and not least the general public, also need to focus on facing the current situation. The police must ensure that the criminals are arrested and can be prosecuted. The criminals need to disappear from our streets and squares so that no more ruthless crimes are committed…
"The everyday life many police officers face when they go to work right now is worrying and very tiring. We work intensively, around the clock, despite this, the severe violence continues. The police are there 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We do not give up and we do not back down, but the situation is currently very stressful."
Very stressful… I bet it’s very stressful.Yet, they allowed it to happen. They imagined that these refugees would simply become more like them. They never imagined that said refugees would turn into culture warriors, an invading army whose purpose was to destroy the weak and decadent Swedish civilization. As for where they might have learned this-- past history might have given some clues.
Bergman adds that some crimes are being covered up, even by the police:
The police statement did not mention that two boys were raped, tortured and nearly buried alive in a cemetery close to Stockholm. The atrocity added to the growing number of so-called "humiliation crimes". These are crimes where the victim is not only robbed, but also violently humiliated to demonstrate the power of the perpetrator.
Another such humiliation crime, for instance, took place in Gothenburg in October 2019, when a criminal gang forced their victim to kiss the gang leader's feet, while they filmed him. After that, they stomped on his face until he lost consciousness.
As noted, the pusillanimous Swedes are sacrificing their children to a stupid idea-- the notion that boundless tolerance will naturally be greeted with gratitude.
A Swedish columnist explained the situation:
"Sweden is losing control of its own territory," Ivar Arpi, a Swedish columnist, recently told the Danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende.
"These heinous crimes and humiliations are connected to a ghetto culture... Journalists do not like to write about it, politicians do not want to talk about it and researchers do not want to touch it. There is a systematic ignorance."
Systematic ignorance-- the law of the ostrich. Stick your head in the sand and pretend that it’s not happening. Or better, refuse to identify which ethnic group is responsible for all of the crime.
In the riot that took place in Malmö on August 28, an estimated 300 people burned car tires, shot fireworks and threw stones at the police. The riot occurred close to Rosengård, a so-called "vulnerable area", populated mainly by immigrants. Video footage posted to social media showed the rioters shouting "Allahu Akbar" and "Jews, remember Khaybar, the army of Mohammed is returning" -- a reference to the massacre of the Jews of Khaybar by the Islamic prophet Mohammed and his followers in the year 628, in what is today Saudi Arabia. The Official Council of Swedish Jewish Communities released a statement in reaction to the riot, saying:
"Unfortunately, this is not the first time a crowd has chanted similar threats against Jews in Malmö. The Council of Swedish Jewish Communities takes this incident extremely seriously and calls on the police and other responsible authorities to prosecute those individuals who have thereby committed incitement against an ethnic group."
Naturally, it’s all intertwined with anti-Semitism, the one hate crime that is becoming more and more acceptable.
So, in the No-Go zones, run by Muslim criminal gangs, police are unwelcome:
In the Gothenburg suburb of Angered, a criminal gang set up roadblocks and manned them with masked armed men who checked the identities of people driving in and out of the area. According to Berlingske Tidende, the roadblocks were set up by a gang centered around the Ali Khan family, who deal in financial fraud and other crimes. The clan has been reported to the police more than 200 times but the police have had to close almost all cases because the gang threatens the victims and witnesses to stay silent.
Also recently in Gothenburg, a teacher at the Lövgärdes School reported two armed men moving around outside the school and notified the police, but by the time they arrived the men had disappeared. When the teacher drove home from school later that day, he was kidnapped and beaten.
The political opposition, the Moderate Party as it is called, wants to crack down.
The leader of the main Swedish opposition party, Moderaterna (The Moderate Party), Ulf Kristersson, now says that he wants to make it a crime to be member of a gang.
"Several children have died only this year in stabbings and shootings," Kristersson wrote in a Facebook post.
"This weekend, two boys were subjected to terrible atrocities in a cemetery in Solna for an entire night. On Tuesday, a teacher in Gothenburg was kidnapped and beaten after contacting the police.
"What we now experience almost daily is not normal -- not for Sweden or for Europe. Almost all of us who live here know that. The development is destroying Swedish trust and cohesion, the violence is threatening the system. The criminal gangs terrorize entire residential areas and kill children and adults who happen to be in the way. They set up their own roadblocks and control people's everyday lives. They are like Sweden's domestic terrorists -- and must therefore be met with the full force of our democracy. Pattern-breaking measures that really lead to change, not just adjustments in the margin.
"Sweden should start by making it a crime to be part of a criminal gang, in the same way that it should be a crime to be part of a terrorist organization. It would thus give the police new opportunities to act against the activities we have seen in Gothenburg in recent days, such as establishing roadblocks or arranging meetings in which various criminal gangs participate."
Of course, the violence is also directed against Christian churches:
In other news, the Västra Skrävlinge church in Malmö was recently vandalized seven nights in a row. Windows were smashed and statues broken, including a statue of Jesus that was smashed to pieces. The perpetrators are unknown, but the Sweden Democrats Party in Malmö has asked the Church of Swedish to look deeper into the matter, adding in a statement:
"Considering the vandalism of Västra Skrävlinge Church that we have seen and the systematic vandalism we see in our cemeteries, this is an area that the Church of Sweden must work with. Unfortunately, there is a grudge against Christian culture among certain groups and the Church of Sweden in Malmö cannot be passive while the Christian cultural heritage is vandalized."
As I said, I cannot understand why some countries believe that Muslim culture is not congenial with their values and why they believe that Muslims must be subject to forced re-education.

I detect both sarcasm and irony in your post, and an allusion to China and its Uighur population.
That said, the woman quoted below has been active in Sweden for close to 2 decades now,and was likely a strong proponent of what were essentially Sweden's "forced" multi-cultural immigration policies and a relentless policy of self-hate for the native Swedes.
"Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural. And I think we are going to be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place. Europe is not going to be the monolithic societies that they once were in the last century. Jews are going to be at the center of that. It's a huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode, and Jews will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role, and without that transformation, Europe will not survive."

The term "gaslighting" is getting a lot of (deserved) popular use of late.
"forced" multi-cultural immigration policies and a relentless policy of self-hate for the native Swedes.
I think we have a winner to the question: Why is Europe disintegrating while right-leaning parties grow in influence?
Somebody tell Ms. Applebaum. No matter how hard she tries, she just cannot fathom what is happening. Smart, smart, stupid.
I've said before that that Swedish men should access their inner Viking. Now, I'd say the Sweden Army needs to forcibly evacuate the Muslims back to where they came from.
Sam L. -
While I dont doubt you mean well, their inner Viking has been subjected to organized assault for well over 2 decades.
And now they're under 24/7/365 full time surveillance.
I think your comment sounds more than a little glib and condescending.
Maybe that wasn't your intent.
Anon? It wasn't.
