Humanitarian Sweden
"Back in 1975, the year when politicians decided that Sweden was to become multicultural, the Swedish population stood at 8,208,442. By 2014 it had grown to 9,743,087 -- an increase of 18.7%. This growth is entirely due to immigration, as Swedish women on average give birth to 1.92 children compared to the 2.24 average of immigrant women. One should, however, keep in mind that in the statistics, second-generation immigrants are counted as Swedes."
"Sweden's recent population growth is without parallel. Never before in the country's history has the number of inhabitants increased so fast. Sweden is now the fastest growing country in Europe."
"Over the past 10-15 years, immigrants have mainly come from Muslim countries such as Iraq, Syria and Somalia. Might this mass influx explain Sweden's rape explosion? It is difficult to give a precise answer, because Swedish law forbids registration based on people's ancestry or religion. One possible explanation is that, on average, people from the Middle East have a vastly different view of women and sex than Scandinavians have. And despite the attempts by the Swedish establishment to convince the population that everyone setting foot on Swedish soil becomes exactly like those who have lived here for dozens of generations, facts point in an altogether different direction."

Sweden's transition to a haven for Muslim emigrants from countries of the Middle East and North Africa, has led to its almost complete transformation. The customs and practises of an entirely alien population have been mass-imported into a formerly homogeneous society. And now it is the indigenous population of Sweden who appear to be the aliens, crowded out by the presence of an often-hostile enclave where Muslims now resent the presence of Swedes among them, and if they happen to be Jews, the threats are very real.
If Sweden had decided to welcome people fleeing conflict and the general unrest with violence in the Middle East, it is amazing that they failed to focus on the plight of the most vulnerable of those people; Christians, Yazidis, Kurds eager to escape the existential threats they live under in the malign presence of oppressive Muslims who deem them disposable human beings. At the very least, the focus could have been on women, women and children, and families. Instead, the vast majority taken in appear to be men and mostly young men.
And then there are people streaming in from Afghanistan. Like the family of eleven people with their 106-old grandmother, Bibihal Uzbeki, a frail, disabled women whose son and grandson exercised enormous physical effort to carry her out of Afghanistan to a hoped-for opportunity for a new life in Europe. And whom, most unfortunately, the Swedish Migration Agency chose to turn down her request for asylum.

"My sisters were crying. My grandmother asked, 'Why are you crying'?'Evidently many European countries routinely deny asylum to Afghans coming from areas of the country that the Europeans deem to be safe. "The reasoning from the migration agency is that it's not unsafe enough in Afghanistan", explained Sanna Vestin, head of the Swedish Network of Refugee Support Groups.
"If I knew who was the enemy [in Afghanistan], I would have just avoided them."
Mohammed Uzbeki, Bibihal's grandson
And Mohammed Uzbeki acknowledges the difficulty in proving his family would face a specific enemy if they were all to be expelled from Sweden. They are all awaiting word whether or not their asylum applications will be accepted or rejected. Those whose applications are rejected may appeal, a lengthy process for their applications in various stages of appeal, apart from the rejection of the grandmother's application.
Mohammed cites the presence of the Islamic State group, the Taliban, al-Qaeda, the Pakistan Haqqani network and suicide bombers all of which present to him and his family ample reason why they fear returning to their country of birth when they would much prefer remaining where they are, in the small village of Hova, in central Sweden. They had lived in temporary exile in Iran, but Iran, a Muslim country, failed to offer them permanent security.

"In 2016, some 250 shootings (random, fatal and non-fatal) were registered by police in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. In 2014, that number came to 200, indicating that Sweden is experiencing a drastic rise in such incidents."
"We don’t really know why yet, but what we can see is that the increase comes as we also see a rise in gang-related crimes and a growing number of criminal networks,” Manne Gerell, a criminologist at Malmö University, told The Local, after Swedish public radio first wrote about new research he is involved in."
"One study which is yet to be published suggests that Sweden experienced four to five times as many fatal shootings per capita as Norway and Germany in 2008-2014, two otherwise similar countries. Previous figures have shown that deadly violence in general is going down in Sweden, but gun violence has gone up."
Gerell also singled out Malmö, Sweden’s third-largest city, as the one place where shootings are becoming particularly common."
"Malmö stands out,” he said, noting that the southern city is somewhat more exposed to social problems and poverty in comparison to both the capital and Gothenburg."
