Sweden is a destination and, to a lesser extent, source and transit country for women and children subjected to sex trafficking, and a destination country for men, women, and children subjected to forced labor, including forced begging and stealing.

Identified and suspected victims of sex trafficking largely originate from Eastern Europe, West Africa, Asia, and—to a lesser extent—Western Europe. Forced prostitution remains the most common form of trafficking in Sweden, although reported cases of labor trafficking are increasing. Identified and suspected victims of labor trafficking, who largely originate from Eastern Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, face exploitation in domestic service, hospitality, construction, agriculture, forestry, and as seasonal berry pickers.
Roma are vulnerable to forced begging and criminality and originate primarily from Romania and Bulgaria. The more than 162,000 migrants who applied for asylum in 2015, primarily from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, and East Africa, are vulnerable to human trafficking.
Unaccompanied children are especially vulnerable; more than 35,000 unaccompanied foreign children applied for asylum in Sweden in 2015, primarily teenage boys from Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, and Eritrea. A study published in December found more than half of suspected child trafficking victims identified since 2012 arrived in Sweden as unaccompanied minors, primarily from Africa and Eastern Europe.
Police note street children, especially boys from Morocco, are vulnerable to child sex trafficking and forced criminality. A study found between 4,000 and 5,000 Swedes commit child sex tourism offenses abroad annually. Swedish women and girls are also vulnerable to sex trafficking within the country.
The Government of Sweden fully meets the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking. During the reporting period, the government instituted a national mechanism to identify and refer victims to care and identified more victims. However, the European migration crisis overwhelmed government institutions, hindering authorities’ ability to conduct sufficient screenings of migrants to identify potential instances of trafficking.
PROSECUTION
The government demonstrated limited progress in law enforcement efforts. Sweden’s 2002 anti-trafficking law prohibits sex trafficking and forced labor and prescribes penalties of two to 10 years’ imprisonment, which are sufficiently stringent and commensurate with those prescribed for other serious crimes, such as rape.
In June, the government initiated a legal review of its anti-trafficking law to strengthen prohibitions against, and punishments for, sex trafficking. Police investigated 58 sex trafficking cases in 2015 (including 11 child sex trafficking cases), compared with 31 in 2014. Authorities prosecuted and convicted two sex traffickers, compared with one prosecution and conviction in 2014. They were sentenced to 26 and 30 months’ imprisonment, fined 82,200 kronor ($9,736) each in damages, and will be deported following their prison terms.
The government increased efforts to identify and investigate cases of forced begging. Police investigated 122 cases of forced labor in 2015 (including 30 child forced labor cases), 55 of which were cases of forced begging, compared with 62 forced labor cases in 2014.
There were no prosecutions or convictions for labor trafficking in 2015.
The national anti-trafficking coordinator and national rapporteur noted the ongoing reorganization of the police hindered law enforcement efforts. Observers reported many judges continued to lack sufficient understanding of human trafficking, which may result in fewer convictions and less stringent sentences.
The national rapporteur conducted training for police and judges, and the prosecutor’s office and national rapporteur offered online training for prosecutors and national police, respectively. Swedish authorities collaborated with foreign governments on transnational investigations.
The government reported one ongoing investigation of a government official suspected of involvement in a trafficking-related corruption case; however, it did not report any prosecutions or conviction of government officials complicit in human trafficking. There were no reports of wider complicity in trafficking offenses among government officials.

Britain’s legendary prime minister, including Nobel laureate Winston Churchill, has done so. The Dutch Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders has also done so. Now the Swedish Democrats group leaders in the Swedish parliament, Mattias Karlsson, are singing to those who equate Islam with Nazism
Via: David Baas
On Saturday, the Swedish Democrats held a big kickoff before the church hall on Sunday next week. The party highlights the election and sets up with approximately 1000 candidates.
During the kickoff held in the Concert Hall in Gothenburg, the party’s group leader in the parliament, Mattias Karlsson, spoke to the party mates. In the speech, which involved why it is important that SD take power over the Church of Sweden, the SD summit meant that “the church has become a force for Islamization of Sweden“. As an example, Karlsson mentioned imams invited by the Church of Sweden and read from the Qur’an.
“It’s awful”
“So it is absurd that the Church of Sweden invites people to read high of this book for Christians in our churches. It’s more than absurd, it’s directly offensive, it’s awful. And I think those who support this type of action, those who sanction it – they should be ashamed and kicked from their posts, said Karlsson and met with applause.
Karlsson raised a part in the Quran where it is called upon to kill “unfaithful”.
“Now I know that it is far from all Muslims who postpone the kind of writing in the Quran and it is certain that those who read this kind of texts in the churches do not read these passages and may not be behind either. But to me it does not play that huge role either. Although it is a nice person who reads a slightly less controversial part, it is still from this book.
Similar to Mein Kampf
Karlsson then resembled the Koran by Adolf Hitler’s book “Mein Kampf”:
“I would like to go as far as saying to read high of the Quran in a Christian church when the Quran says that Christians should be killed, almost comparable to reading out loud” Mein Kampf “in a synagogue, Karlsson said allow him to think of dialogue between the church and the Islamic representatives, but that the church of Sweden is engaged in “submission” to Islam.
Mattias Karlsson emphasizes for Expressen that he said “almost comparable”.Photo: SVEN LINDWALL
In a concluding call to his party mates, Karlsson argued that the party should use its power in the Church of Sweden to counteract what he calls mass immigration:
“A voice on the Swedish Democrats in the church hall is a guarantee that the Church will cease to use members’ money to propagate for a mass immigration that means that most vulnerable refugees do not get help because we can not afford it because of a mass immigration that hurts our welfare so that the weakest, the sickest can take a bang, a mass immigration that means that society is torn apart, becomes colder and more fragmented, segregated. A voice on the Swedish Democrats is a guarantee that church money will not be used for that kind of propaganda.
“Genocide of Christians”
Mattias Karlsson explains his likeness with “Mein Kampf” for Expressen:
– I say it’s almost comparable. It is not fully comparable because the letters contained in Mein Kampf, the calls for violence and what led to the persecution of Jews, there is no parallel in world history comparable to that. However, there are a number of letters in the Quran calling for killing, throat, crucifixion, captivity and slaughtering Christians, unfaithful. It’s just what’s happening in the world. There is a genocide of Christians today in the world.
In your speech, you say that all Muslims do not stand behind such letters, but it does not play such a big part for you because the problem is “even if it’s a nice person who reads a slightly less controversial part”. Do you mean that the whole Quran is dangerous?
“I find it hard to imagine that we would buy in another context, say, someone would read from a political manifesto in a church, maybe there are some passages that are nice, maybe about enhanced animal welfare, but there too says to kill those who do not think the same thing, to kill the people standing and reading the book. I think you had difficulty accepting it.
“I’m hard to accept it just because it’s a religious book. I have full understanding that it is not all Muslims who stand behind all parts of the Quran, but the problem is that many major Muslim schools and highly educated scholars say that the Quran can not be interpreted, but it should be interpreted literally and that it is God’s direct word . What is a problem in relation to Christianity where we have Jesus’ love message that comes and takes out much of what is strange and quite awful as it stands in the Old Testament, says Karlsson.

“Poland’s security is more important than imprudent decisions by European institutions,” Minister Witold Waszczykowski told Polish Radio 3’s Beata Michniewicz, referring to the EU Court of Justice’s judgment that dismissed the actions of Slovakia and Hungary regarding the relocation of 120,000 refugees.
Via: msz.gov.pl
“We still believe that this decision, dating back two years, was taken against the law and out of tune with the security situation we now have in Europe,” said the minister. “All those who arrived in Europe at the time were treated as refugees. But they are not refugees, they are illegal migrants who had started off in faraway regions. Second, it’s very difficult to establish their identities. Third, none of them wanted to come to Poland voluntarily,” observed the Polish foreign policy chief. “How come an institution like the European Union can force mass resettlement of thousands of people from one place to another in the 21st century? And worse still, to order a country like Poland to keep them by force and never let them travel around Europe. They do know where to expect better social benefits than in Poland,” said the minister.
The chief of Polish diplomacy said that Poland will argue this point when trying to convince those who endorse the latest decision by the Court of Justice. “Please consider that out of 160,000 only a quarter were actually relocated. There are many countries besides Poland that didn’t comply or that accepted marginal numbers,” he said.
Referring to the European Commission’s plan to bring a case before the Court of Justice if a country chooses not to take in any migrants, the minister stressed that we will defend ourselves. As he pointed out, Poland has been opposed to these decisions for nearly two years, and has been trying to bring the European Commission around to its point of view. Among the arguments raised by Poland he named demographics, the labour market, and Poland’s opening to a huge wave of migration from the East. “Last year we issued Ukrainians with 1.267 million visas,” noted the minister.
Asked about further steps with regard to the Court’s decision and the Commission’s announcements, Minister Witold Waszczykowski replied that we will keep fighting. “We will not implement this decision,” he underscored, adding that he will be raising the issue in all meetings he holds in the near future.

The Authority for Youth and Civil Affairs, MUCF, provides guidance on how adults should talk with newly arrived immigrants on issues related to health, sexuality and gender equality. Among other things, it is important to teach immigrants what they can do and should not do.
Via: friatider.se
“Youmo in Practice“, as the guide mentions, is aimed primarily at adults who meet so-called young new Muslim immigrants arrivals.
Sweden government has given the Ministry for Youth and Civil Affairs the task of drawing up the script.
Guidance should facilitate adults to dare to talk about health, gender equality, sexuality, “rights”, norms and relationships with young new arrivals “in an inclusive way”. According to the authorities, it can be difficult for Muslim immigrants to build relationships in Sweden.
“Many young new arrivals therefore need tips on social codes for contact creation and the context in which they can find new friends. In addition, young new arrivals may also need support in navigating how Sweden is interconnected across gender borders,” the Swedish Youth and Civil Affairs Agency writes in its new guidance and continues:
“In many parts of the world, boys and girls do not go to school together, are friends or do something as intimate as hugging when they greet each other … New norms for social interaction are of course confusing and may need to be recalled for a lighter to be able to find oneself and to create new relationships. An obvious thing as eye contact may need time to be sorted out. What does eye contact mean in different parts of the world? Who has an eye contact? What does it mean to hold or to beat down your eyes? “, it says in the scripture.
Lena Nyberg, Director General of MUCF, told Metro that it is about cultural crashes when people from other countries and other countries come to Sweden.
And after all the sex attacks on Swedish festivals, it has become important to inform immigrants about what is acceptable.
“One of many parts is to argue with young girls and boys about what one gets and can not do,” says Lena Nyberg to Metro.
The script also states that “masculinity contributes, among other things, to more and more boys and men who practice violence and commit sexual abuse.”
In spring 2016, the Youth and Civil Society Authority was commissioned to develop and disseminate a website with information on health and gender equality focusing on “sexual and reproductive health and rights”, SRHR, aimed at young new arrivals. The website was launched in spring 2017 and has been named youmo.se. In addition to Swedish and English, it is found in the languages that are the most overrepresented in serious sexual offenses: Somali, Arabic, Light Dari and Tigrinian.

One streets shootings a day, Just in the summer, which is the worst period, eleven people died , showing figures at SvD . The newspaper calls it a “bloody summer”.
Via: friatider.se
81 shootings with 46 injured and eleven dead. It is the result of shooting only during the summer in Sweden this year.
June, July and August account for about 40 percent of all shootings that occurred in 2017.
The total number of Casualties between January and August of this year amounts to 202, with 31 deaths. It is “a one streets shootings a day”, according to SvD.
Worst is the metropolitan area of Stockholm (79 shootings), South region with Malmö (61 shootings) and the region West where Göteborg is included (21 shootings).
And it has become much worse over the years.
“Before 1990 there were about four murders a year in the country, after the 1990s it was between 8-13 up to about 2014 and 2015, when it increased up to 30 murders a year across the country, since it has sustain it high level, “says Gunnar Appelgren at the Stockholm Police to SvD.
In May, a survey from DN showed that Muslim immigrants are behind 9 of 10 shootings in Sweden. Out of 100 people involved in assassination and murder attempts where firearms have been used, 90 of them have at least one foreign-born parent. The vast majority of men, around 80 percent, have their roots in the Middle East and Northern Africa. Most come from Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Turkey, Somalia and Eritrea.
In late June, Expressen published a survey of organized crime in Stockholm. Of 192 gang criminals, almost all, 94.5 percent, had at least one foreign-born parent. The country of origin that stands out is Iraq, but many also come from Bosnia, Lebanon, Somalia, Syria and Turkey.

Turkey controls 900 mosques in Germany and feels free to say that a “liberal mosque” in Germany is “incompatible” with Islam.
Via: Giulio Meotti
Can you imagine Germany offering Iraq, Syria and Egypt to build “200 new churches” to reconstruct the derelict and dispossessed Christian communities there? No, because in the Middle East, Christians have been eradicated in a forced de-Christianization.
Christians in Germany will become a minority in the next 20 years, according to Die Welt.
We risk losing not only our churches, but more importantly, our cultural strength and even confidence in the values of our own civilization.
Jan Fleischhauer, a journalist of the weekly magazine Der Spiegel, coined an expression to define the free fall of German Christianity: Selbstsäkularisierung (“self-secularization”). It is the Church being liquidated?
The German Bishops’ Conference just released the data on the decline of Catholicism in Germany for 2016. In one year, the German Catholic Church lost 162,093 faithful and closed 537 parishes. From 1996 to today, one quarter of the Catholic communities have been closed. “The faith has evaporated,” said Cardinal Friedrich Wetter, the Archbishop of Munich and Freising from 1982 to 2007.
Christians in Germany will become a minority in the next 20 years, according to Die Welt. Around 60% of the country is currently Christian, with 24 million Catholics and 23 million Protestants. But that number is falling by 500,000 a year through deaths alone. “Those statistics are embodied by what visitors observe in German cities on Sunday: largely empty churches”, the Catholic theologian George Weigel wrote.
German Protestantism is facing the same crisis. Die Zeit revealed that in 2016, 340,000 Protestants passed away, and there were just 180,000 baptisms. Some 190,000 people left the church and just 25,000 people chose to join it.
In his most famous lecture, Pope Benedict XVI famously said that the West, including those who do not accept transcendence, should act “etsi Deus daretur“, as if God does exist. The old-fashioned Christian society will never come back, but it is critical for even a secular West to stay based on — and profoundly inspired by — its Judeo-Christian values.
The next stage seems to be a German cultural and religious landscape dominated by atheists and two minority religions: Islam and Christianity. If the secularists do not take Western Christian heritage — or at least the Judeo-Christian values from which it sprang — more seriously and start defending it, both atheists and Christians will soon be dominated by the rising political and supremacist religion, Islam. A prominent Muslim fundamentalist organization in Germany, banned by the federal government, calls itself “The True Religion” (“Die Wahre Religion“). They apparently think they are overtaking Judeo-Christian values.
There are dramatic instances of Christian decay in Germany. In the diocese of Trier, for example, site of the oldest Catholic community and the birthplace of Karl Marx, the number of parishes will drop from 903 to 35 by 2020, according to bishop Stephan Ackermann — a decrease of more than 90%. In the diocese of Essen, more than 200 parishes have been closed; their number has fallen from 259 to 43.
A demographic decline is also involved in this religious crisis. “Christianity is literally dying in Europe,” said Conrad Hackett, head of the researchers who drafted a Pew Forum report a few months ago. In Europe, between 2010 and 2015, Christian deaths outnumbered births by nearly 6 million. In Germany alone, there were about 1.4 million more Christian deaths.
This decline also apparent from the recruitment crisis for the priesthood. The official website of the German Catholic Church, noted in May that the dioceses of Osnabrück and Mainz did not receive any new priests this year. The archdiocese of Munich last year drew only one candidate. Throughout the Archdiocese of Munich today, there are only 37 seminarians in the various training stages, for about 1.7 million Catholics. In comparison, the American diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska, currently has 49 seminarians for about 96,000 Catholics. In the U.S., Christianity is strong; in Germany it is literally dying.
A German architect, Joaquim Reinig, told Die Tageszeitung that to integrate Muslim immigrants better, churches should be demolished and replaced with “highly visible mosques”. It might sound a bit crazy, but it contains a dramatic truth. In his book The Last Days of Europe, the historian Walter Laqueur wrote that “Germany had some 700 little mosques and prayer rooms in the 1980s, but there are more than 2,500 at the present time”. If, in Germany, Christianity is evaporating, Islam is proliferating.
The Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs (DITIB) just opened a new mega-mosque for worship in the German city of Cologne. The new German mega-mosque has a 1,200-person capacity and the tallest minaret of Europe. According to Deutsche Welle, “Christian leaders bristled at the idea of Cologne’s famed Dom cathedral sharing the skyline with minarets”. When the mosque was planned in 2007, a citizens’ initiative was launched to say that “we want the cathedral here, not minarets”. The Muslim authorities then announced the plan to “double” the number of mosques.

The Turkish authorities not only wanted to build a mega-mosque in the city hosting the largest cathedral of Germany, but these also had the sense of irony to commission architect Paul Böhm to design the mosque. Böhm’s father and grandfather were in fact the two most radical and admired church architects of their generations. In the “new Germany”, nobody had asked Böhm to design a new cathedral.
Since he took power in Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan has built 17,000 Islamic prayer sites there. The Turkish president is committed to the construction of mosques in European capitals as well. Turkey controls 900 mosques in Germany and feels free to say that a “liberal mosque” in Germany is “incompatible” with Islam, according to the daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. That is why the 57 percent of Germans fear the rise of Islam in their country.
When Chancellor Angela Merkel opened her country to mass migration in 2014, she apparently did not see any cultural problem in accepting more than another million Muslims.
In the words of Erdogan, however, “Our minarets are our bayonets, our domes are our helmets, our mosques are our barracks”. Islamic regimes are, in fact, offering to fill the empty spaces in Germany’s religious landscape. Saudi Arabia proposed building 200 new mosques in Germany, “one for every 100 refugees”.
Can you imagine Germany offering Iraq, Syria and Egypt to build “200 new churches” to reconstruct the derelict and dispossessed Christian communities there? No, because in the Middle East, Christians have been eradicated in a forced de-Christianization. In Europe, Christians are also becoming extinct by a process of “self-secularization”. We risk losing not only our churches, but more importantly, our cultural strength and even confidence in the values of our own civilization.

As if Sweden’s struggles with so-called “underage refugees” were not enough, new hits just keep on coming. Of late, the problem of sexual relations between employees and inmates has sprung to the media’s attention, intensifying the debate.
Via: sputniknews
The town of Åmål has launched an investigation into a local refugee accommodation, where a female employee reportedly gave a lap dance and had intimate relations with minor inmates. According to Swedish national broadcaster SVT, the problem of sexual proximity between underage refugees and personnel may persist in other homes as well.
A video published by SVT, shows a female employee give a youth sitting in a chair a lap dance during an unknown celebration at a refugee accommodation. In addition, SVT’s informants revealed several cases of intimate relations between staff and inmates.
“This is not okay, of course. Such an approach to children they work with does not look professional,” Maria Björklund, the head of a unit at the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (IVO) told SVT.
Ivan Stipic of Åmål Municipality pointed out that it is unacceptable for staff to celebrate and imbibe alcohol with people under their patronage. According to him, an incident was reported to social services, which in turn will decide whether to file a police report.
In another related case, a YouTube video uploaded by the signature Videomannen explicitly suggesting sexual motives in female refugee volunteers incited the ire of the women’s network Vi Står Inte Ut (“We can’t stand it”), which unites volunteers in the asylum industry. The video, which utilizes screenshots and photos from the network’s own Facebook group featuring middle-aged women posing with “refugee children,” some of which appear to be in their thirties, sparked a controversy, yet was denounced by female activists and subsequently reported to the police, Swedish news outlet Fria Tider reported. Vi Står Inte Ut is known for demanding amnesty for all underage refugee children residing in Sweden.
In late May, the National Forensic Medicine Agency released its first results of age tests on request from the Migration Board. Around 76 percent of the “underage children” surveyed proved to be 18 and over, which indirectly bolstered previous assertions that many asylum seekers were deliberately posing as minors to obtain more benefits. Nevertheless, the Swedish government does not intend to tear up resident permits issued on wrong grounds.
“Once you have made a decision, it applies. And if you’ve been granted asylum, so yes, you have the right to stay in Sweden,” Swedish Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson said during a parliamentary interview. At the same time, she agreed that it would be beneficial to use a more correct decision-making basis.
In 2015, Sweden received a record 35,000 asylum applications from “lone children,” followed by 2,200 in 2016. In 2016, “unaccompanied children” cost Swedish taxpayers 26 billion SEK ($3 bln), with the bill expecting to land at 19 billion SEK ($2.2 bln) this year, according to the Swedish newspaper Expressen.
Sweden’s neighbor Norway, however, has no qualms about having second thoughts. Last year alone, Norway revoked the citizenship it had erroneously granted to 65 people, with another possible 500 to be examined this year.

Ten men arrested for raping a woman at age 30 in a stairwell in Fittja. The police suspect the gang targeted “particularly vulnerable women”.
Via: Emelie Nilsson
The rape lasted for several hours in Botkyrka municipality, according to the victim – a woman in her 30s.
– It has been implemented in a public space, but I do not want to go into detail. The woman was bothered afterwards, says Prosecutor Markus Hankkio, who heads the preliminary investigation.
– Ten Muslim immigrants suspected of serious rape. there of them are people among the ten who may not necessarily have been involved in the sex, but help instead.
The female plaintiff’s attorney, lawyer Elisabeth Massi Fritz, writes in an email to Metro:
“It’s a terrible rape that led to a very difficult torture-like trauma to my client. This is one of the hardest rape targets I encountered during my 26 years of operation. ”
The rape must have been completed one evening in mid-August last year.
But only in mid-June this year the first suspects could be arrested. Even though the police had secured tracks that could be matched by the NFC, National Forensic Center.
“There are long processing times at NFC and it went on time. In late autumn 2016, a few people were met after comparing samples of rape with DNA profiles in their records, says Mark Hankkio.
“Unfortunately, police have had much else to do and have not had the resources to work on the case until now, at the spring. Then you took a number of people in June.
Could not you suspect suspects of serious rape in just over six months due to lack of resources?
“Yes, but at the same time, the plaintiff’s state of health has not been the best either. She also needed some time to get rid of this. Then the police have worked to get further suspects in the meanwhile. It’s always good to have additional people heard suspiciously, “says Mark Hankkio.
In mid-June, four men, aged 18-24, were suspected of serious rape. Three of the men were arrested, and in the summer another five men were suspected of crimes. As late as last week, a tenth man was suspected of involvement in the group violence.
According to data from Metro, from a source of transparency to the investigation, up to 20 people may have participated in the rape. But at the moment, the police are not looking for further suspects.
– No, but we know there are more people who have been in the spot. But they are currently unable to identify who they are, says Mark Hankkio.
Some of the suspects have told them to know each other, but none of them should have previously had any connection with the victim.
“The suspects have a slightly different attitude to what has happened, but everyone denies crimes,” says Mark Hankkio, who does not want to tell why the woman was in the place.
Several of the suspects have been convicted of crimes in the past.
Accusations concerning the suspected group violence are expected to arrive in October.
– The investigation period is set to September 21, but more actions remain. Then it will probably take another week, says Mark Hankkio.
Five of the suspects of the gang rape:
Man, 21 years old:
Formerly convicted of theft and drug offense.
Male, 24 years old:
Earlier convicted of, among other things, threats to officials, drug smuggling, human rights and sexual exploitation of children.
Man, 18 years old:
Formerly convicted of abuse, violent opposition and attempted violence against civil servants.
Man, 19 years old:
Formerly convicted of theft and drug offenses
Male, 22 years old:
Formerly convicted of drug abuse, robbery, illegal driving and attempted gross fraud.
The police suspects: The gang in Fittja focused on “particularly vulnerable women” – and raped them.

If the United States in 2015 had received the same proportion of immegrants as Sweden, in relation to its population, the US would have taken in 5.2 million of them.
Via: Nima Gholam Ali Pour
The survey covered the period 2011 to 2016 and concerned more than 10,000 reported crimes relating to sexual offenses.
That traditional Swedish bathhouses in Sweden today are associated with rape and sexual abuse was something unthinkable before the migration crisis in 2015. Both the Boston Globe and alternative media should please stick to statistics and facts.
Recently, The Boston Globe’s Astead W. Herndon wrote an article criticizing U.S. President Donald Trump’s ways of gathering support for his statements and proposals. While it is basically true that politicians should not only rely only on the media, Herndon’s understatement Sweden’s problems is dishonest at best.
If one mentions problems in Sweden relating to migration, it is important to describe what is really happening. Sadly, Sweden’s refugee policy has made Sweden less secure. In 2015, Sweden received 163,000 asylum seekers. The same year, the United States received about 70,000 asylum seekers. Sweden, however, has a population of ten million, while the United States has approximately 323 million. If the United States in 2015 had received the same proportion of asylum seekers as Sweden, in relation to its population, the US would have taken in 5.2 million. Would it have threatened U.S. security to host 5.2 million new asylum seekers in one year? Probably. That is what happened in Sweden.
The US already has a rigorous vetting process, but Sweden has a weak one — only slowly improving. In addition, because many “unaccompanied refugee children” lie about their age when they reach Sweden, the National Board of Forensic Medicine (“Rättsmedicinalverket“) has been instructed by the government to do medical age-assessments. These are made at the request of the Swedish Migration Agency (“Migrationsverket“), this, after the asylum seekers’ consent. The National Board of Forensic Medicine began performing these age-assessments in March; reporting on their activities on September 4, they found that in 83% of cases, the investigated person was not a minor, but 18 or older.
The problem of asylum seekers lying about their age is that these adults of unknown backgrounds have been sent to primary schools and high schools with children and placed in different homes with them. Sweden’s liberal migration policy has jeopardized the safety of Swedish children.
As a result of the migration crisis, since 2015 Sweden has been forced to introduce border controls. This activity, along with deporting illegal migrants and violent disputes in asylum accommodations, has claimed a large part of the resources of the police. In June 2016, the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency, surveying fires at asylum accommodations, found that only 11% of the fires were started from outside the asylum home. The resource-crisis of the Swedish police has resulted in more municipalities forced to hire private security companies. In spring 2017, Radio Sweden sent a survey to Sweden’s 290 municipalities. 200 responded, and of these, 140 stated that their security costs had increased, and of these, 35 responded that their costs had increased directly because of the lack of police officers.
In 2005, Sweden enacted a new law concerning sexual offenses, that broadened, under Swedish law, what was considered rape. In 2013, this law was extended even further to include even a passive response as a rape.
While the increase in the number of reported rapes should not be interpreted as Sweden having a “rape epidemic,” in June 2017, for example, Sweden’s public broadcasting television reported that in just a little over a year, 15 unaccompanied Muslim boys from Afghanistan were convicted of gang-rapes of other boys in Sweden. In a police report published in 2016, dealing with sexual assaults, the police stated that:
“In cases where the crimes were committed by perpetrators in a larger group in public places and in swimming pools, the perpetrators were mainly young people seeking, or recently receiving, asylum in Sweden”.
In the same report one can also read that:
“All investigations in Stockholm and Kalmar from 2014 and 2015 have been closed down due to difficulties with identification or lack of evidence.”
Another scary fact is that in 80% of the reported sexual assaults in the traditional Swedish bathhouses where Swedes go during the harsh winters, the offenders were of foreign origin and most lacked a Swedish national identity number.
The survey covered the period 2011 to 2016 and concerned more than 10,000 reported crimes relating to sexual offenses.
Certainly, one should criticize articles that exaggerate how insecure it is in Sweden, but it is equally wrong to minimize the extent to which unvetted mass-immigration has created an insecure situation for women, especially at bathhouses, swimming pools and gymnasiums.
That Sweden has not managed to handle migration properly, and that the conditions for conflicts exist, is not something that alternative media or Donald Trump have made up. Nearly one-fifth, or 18%, of Sweden’s population are now foreign-born. At the same time, unemployment in July 2017 among Swedes born in Sweden was 3.9%, while unemployment among foreign-born Swedes was 21.8%. This disparity creates conflicts within Sweden’s civil society that should not be neglected. The reason many foreigners do not get jobs in Sweden is because often a person needs to be highly educated. Those who come to Sweden through asylum immigration are simply not well-educated enough to meet the demands of its labor market. The question soon becomes: how much asylum immigration can Sweden manage before spending gets too big and social problems become too heavy?
The Boston Globe is making a mistake when it minimizes the enormous crisis through which Sweden is going.
That traditional Swedish bathhouses in Sweden today are associated with rape and sexual abuse was something unthinkable before the migration crisis began in 2015. Both the Boston Globe and alternative media should please stick to statistics and facts.

On Wednesday, social services, politicians and ideals gathered at the Fryshuset in Stockholm to discuss efforts against honor-related violence and oppression.

It’s about families that force their children and teens to live as the family dictates, without freedom. Forced Radicalised and violence are common elements of the suppression of honor.
Carina Rennermalm is former Rector of Rinkeby School and thinks she is seeing trends in increased honor in the Järva area. For example, because more children in pre-school age wear hijab.
It has even gone so far that parents with immigrant backgrounds choose schools that they consider to be Swedish because they do not want their children to be affected by “Swedish values”.
“I have also had many parents who have just come to me and said they do not choose school here because they do not believe in the values they call Swedish values,” says Carina Rennermalm.
“It is extremely important that we ensure that every school in Sweden is based on a democracy mission, ensuring that the curriculum is followed and that each student’s equal value is respected,” says Åsa Lindhagen (MP) Social Council.
When the government presented its legal package on Tuesday, 100 million was proposed against honor suppression in 2018. A survey of how common suppression of honor is to be done also.
“We know that it’s a big problem and therefore we have said it is important to do a survey, but we will not wait for a survey to act,” says Åsa Lindhagen.

Muslim asylum seeker who raped and killed daughter of EU official ‘carried out a sex attack on a 12-year-old girl in his home country before heading to Europe’
Via: Allan Hall and Sara Malm
An Afghani Muslim migrant charged with the rape and murder of a German medical student also allegedly raped a young girl in his native country, local media reports.
Hussein Khavari is currently standing trial in the south-western German university city of Freiburg over the death of 19-year-old Maria Ladenburger last October.
It has now emerged that Khavari might have carried out a similar attack in his native Afghanistan, raping a 12-year-old girl.
While Khavari was locked up in investigative custody, he allegedly told a fellow prisoner that he carried out the rape in Afghanistan when he was just 14.
A Freiburg police officer confirmed the story to the district court during Khavari’s trial, where he has admitted to killing Ms Ladenburger, whose father is a senior legal adviser to the European Commission in Brussels.
According to the police, the parents of Khavari made a settlement with the parents of the raped girl to keep the incident unreported.
It has also emerged that Khavari had been arrested and sentenced to ten years for attempted murder in Corfu in 2013 before coming to Germany seeking refuge in 2015.
Khavari threw a 20-year-old student 25 feet down a cliff on the island of Corfu in May 2013. The woman was severely injured but miraculously survived the ordeal.
Khavari did not report to parole officers after his early release from the Greek detention centre and authorities issued a search warrant for the Afghan migrant, but only in their own country.
German authorities criticised the Greeks for “negligence”, claiming that if they had known about Khavari’s past, he would have been flagged when he applied for asylum and not allowed into the country, which in turn could have prevented the grisly rape and murder of Ms Ladenburger.
Yesterday, Khavari broke down and asked for forgiveness at his trial in Freiburg District Court, Germany.
Khavari wept as he recalled how he smoked hashish the night he ambushed 19-year-old, admitting that he raped her and drowned her in the knee-deep water of a nearby river.
He said he took her to the water to wash her blood from his body and clothes and claimed the incident had destroyed his life.
He broke down in court and added: ‘I want to apologize to the family of Maria’.
Reading from a statement he went on: ‘I beg your pardon. I want to apologise to the family of Maria. I wish I could undo it. What I have done, I am sad for from the bottom of my heart ‘.
He says he dreams of what he did every day as he wiped tears from his face.
‘I live with the agony of what I did and this torment destroys my life,’ he added.
He claims he dragged her into the river ‘because I wanted to wash her blood from me’.
Prosecutors dispute his account of the murder and say he planned it beforehand.
Khavari was born in Ghazni in Afghanistan and claimed to have been 16 when he arrived in Germany in 2015, because ‘because the situation is better here for under age migrants.’
Ms Ladenburger, who was studying medicine at university, would helping out migrants in various shelters and homes in her spare time.
Her body was found in the Dreisam River in October 2016, less than one mile from the student accommodation where she lived.
The killing sparked frenzied new waves of hatred and fear of refugees.
Even the leader of the country’s police union said her death would have been prevented had the open door asylum-seeker policy of Chancellor Angela Merkel been less lax than it is.
The anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) party was to piggyback on the killer’s arrest to highlight what it says are the dangers of unregulated immigration. It calls Maria a ‘victim of Merkel’s welcome culture.’
Sixteen days of hearings have been scheduled for the trial, with a verdict expected in December at the earliest.

“Not long ago Professor Koopmans found that as much as seventy percent of Muslims find Islamic rules more important than secular laws.” — Geert Wilders Research also points out that 11 percent of Dutch Muslims in the Netherlands are prepared to use violence on behalf of their religion. That is a 110,000 people, twice the size of the Dutch army!” – Geert Wilders I personally believe there are extremist people and moderate people. But I do not believe in two kinds of Islam. There is only one…. You get your head chopped off should you wish to interpret Islam….People who want to come to the Netherlands from Islamic countries should think: this is not a place we want to go to! And we do not do this to bully Muslims, but to keep the Netherlands of the future a free Netherlands.” -– Geert Widers

Party for Freedom leader Geert Wilders is deeply concerned about Muslim integration. In our series Islam in the Netherlands he is warning about the “perishing”of our culture. “It is not five to twelve or two to twelve, it is almost morning!” The leader of the second party in the country is pondering about very far-reaching measures.
Geert Wilders (54) is not surprised at the shocking poll results released by daily newspaper De Telegraaf. The fact that only thirteen percent of the Dutch population feel that the problem of integration will solve itself is a writing on the wall, according to him. And that only eleven percent of the Dutch see Islam as an enrichment proves in his opinion that what he has been calling for years. “If I had said that three years ago, I would have had tens of thousands of police reports thrown at me. But people are completely fed up with it. ”
How do you explain the figures?
“Decades ago, a few thousand people from Islamic countries would stay temporarily. But temporarily turned out to be permanently. Those thousands of guest workers became hundreds of thousands. And in Europe millions of people by now. Back then those people were called upon to integrate and assimilate. But Islam, the word says it already, seeks to dominate. Not long ago Professor Koopmans found that as much as seventy percent of Muslims find Islamic rules more important than secular laws. In Europe almost weekly innocent people are slaughtered in name of Allah and Islam. Proudly. We have been declared war and we refuse to defend ourselves.”
Who is responsible for this?
“I think that probably the worst of all is that Western European politicians have allowed this to happen. Last week Sybrand Buma of the Christian democratic party CDA was suddenly critical of Islam. That is like a bank robber who, twenty years after the robbery, has spent all the money and apologizes for doing so. He is the one who did it. CDA has been in power in the Netherlands for 50 years. ”
Is it not a bit blunt to say …
“No!”
… that Muslims do not integrate?
“I am talking about Islam. But research also points out that 11 percent of Dutch Muslims in the Netherlands are prepared to use violence on behalf of their religion. That is a 110,000 people, twice the size of the Dutch army! ”
But perhaps many Muslims in fact take Islam less serious and profess their faith behind the front door, peacefully. Secretary Asscher of Integration said in this paper last week that those people should not be held accountable for terrorist attacks.
“Do you know, secretary Asscher and Prime Minister Rutte are two sides of the same coin. After the second attack in June, Rutte said that Muslims are double the victim, because they are not only victims of attacks, but also blamed for it as a group. For all I care everyone is free to get all teary-eyed but we will perish if we continue. It reminds me of what happened after the murder of Theo van Gogh. Some people, even members of the Royal House, went to a mosque as a first response. That is total cowardice. We are the victims.”
Who are we? Does it not also include those Muslims not engaged in fanatism? This way people are categorized into a group they do not feel connected to at all.
“Then take your distance from that group. Of course I do not say that all Muslims are cheering at an attack. But I can hardly listen to it, the terror attack commemorations in Parliament. I think we have had ten to twelve this year. I am attending, out of respect for the relatives and the victims and will continue to do so. But every time Rutte reads the same a4-format paper, only altering the name of the city and country where the attack took place. The man does not show any action. ”
How do you liberate yourself from the Islamic yoke in your opinion?
“Leave Islam.”
So people must renounce their faith?
“There is nothing they must do. But I would tell: freedom is such a splendorous thing. You do not have anything like it in Islam. I can not force people to leave Islam. They must above all realize what is going on in their minds. But the real concern is what happens in the public space. What is happening in my country and whether we should have more or less of that. ”
There are also Muslims who were born in the Netherlands. The country is just as much their country as it is yours.
“For those people that could apply, but not to Islam.”
But according to the constitution it does, a Muslim born here is considered Dutch. According to the Constitution he or she has an equal right to express what the Netherlands should look like.
“We live in a free country. But in my opinion Islam is not a religion. It is a totalitarian, dangerous and violent ideology, dressed up as a religion. People are allowed to think whatever they like, but I also have the right to say that Islam should not be included in the constitutional freedoms.
Can a Muslim not just be moderate?
“According to the Quran that is not possible. I personally believe there are extremist people and moderate people. But I do not believe in two kinds of Islam. There is only one. One that is impossible to reform. And even if it would be the case, we can not afford to wait for another 150 or 300 years. I think it will never happen. You get your head chopped off should you wish to interpret Islam.”
What do you think should happen?
“Recognize the problem. Dare to say that Islam does not integrate. Define Islam as a violent totalitarian undemocratic thing. And stop immigration from Islamic countries. During cabinet Rutte II, a 100,000 Muslims were added. These are not all terrorists or bad people, but it is 100,000 times more Islam entering the Netherlands.”
There was a war. People were on the move, lost their homes.
“That was not the case. If they were refugees, they would have stopped in the first safe country after Syria. By the way, this is also part of the solution: all Syrians must return! Tomorrow! Why not? That country is safe. This is our country. Why would a Syrian be able to return from the refugee camps in Jordan or Lebanon and not from a refugee centre here? ”
Because the land is in ruins and dictator Assad uses poison gas against his own people for example.
“There are many countries in the world that have not very pleasant regimes.”
Back to the Netherlands. We also have a constitution in this country that protects such things as freedom of education and religion. Should that be altered?
“I do not see the word Islam in any constitution, but in jurisprudence Islam is considered to be a religion.”
Do you want to put into law that Islam is not a religion?
“We will have to see about legal possibilities Can it be done, how can it be done and what way can it be done. But it’s definitely worth studying”
So you want to ban Islam?
“I do not rule out that this may be necessary in the long run. It will concern the expressions. You can not ban an idea, that’s impossible. You can not ban communism either. ”
There is religious freedom in this country. But you want to record that Islam is not a religion.
“In my opinion it is not part of religious freedom. That is my political wish. How to execute such a thing is wish number two. ”
That is very useful for a politician if he makes a statement. What should we think of?
“That is what we have to look into. I have now lifted a tip of the veil. ”
Many people will be startled when they read this.
“We are not going to collect Qurans from people’s homes. What is going on behind their front door is their business. We are talking about public space, but it is too early to say anything about it now. ”
Does this not make it very casual?
“No. I have ventilated this for ten years.
“Some things you mention you have. But banning Islam is something different.
“If it is possible to put it into law, we will put it into law. But it will be about expressions. Recently we have also drafted an administrative detention bill for jihadists. I realize all problems will not be solved tomorrowby closing a mosque. You must make it unattractive in this country to profess Islam. People who want to come to the Netherlands from Islamic countries should think: this is not a place we want to go to! And we do not do this to bully Muslims, but to keep the Netherlands of the future a free Netherlands.”

Who are we? Does it not also include those Muslims not engaged in fanatism? This way people are categorized into a group they do not feel connected to at all.
“Then take your distance from that group. Of course I do not say that all Muslims are cheering at an attack. But I can hardly listen to it, the terror attack commemorations in Parliament. I think we have had ten to twelve this year. I am attending, out of respect for the relatives and the victims and will continue to do so. But every time Rutte reads the same a4-format paper, only altering the name of the city and country where the attack took place. The man does not show any action. ”
How do you liberate yourself from the Islamic yoke in your opinion?
“Leave Islam.”
So people must renounce their faith?
“There is nothing they must do. But I would tell: freedom is such a splendorous thing. You do not have anything like it in Islam. I can not force people to leave Islam. They must above all realize what is going on in their minds. But the real concern is what happens in the public space. What is happening in my country and whether we should have more or less of that. ”
There are also Muslims who were born in the Netherlands. The country is just as much their country as it is yours.
“For those people that could apply, but not to Islam.”
But according to the constitution it does, a Muslim born here is considered Dutch. According to the Constitution he or she has an equal right to express what the Netherlands should look like.
“We live in a free country. But in my opinion Islam is not a religion. It is a totalitarian, dangerous and violent ideology, dressed up as a religion. People are allowed to think whatever they like, but I also have the right to say that Islam should not be included in the constitutional freedoms.
Can a Muslim not just be moderate?
“According to the Quran that is not possible. I personally believe there are extremist people and moderate people. But I do not believe in two kinds of Islam. There is only one. One that is impossible to reform. And even if it would be the case, we can not afford to wait for another 150 or 300 years. I think it will never happen. You get your head chopped off should you wish to interpret Islam.”
What do you think should happen?
“Recognize the problem. Dare to say that Islam does not integrate. Define Islam as a violent totalitarian undemocratic thing. And stop immigration from Islamic countries. During cabinet Rutte II, a 100,000 Muslims were added. These are not all terrorists or bad people, but it is 100,000 times more Islam entering the Netherlands.”
There was a war. People were on the move, lost their homes.
“That was not the case. If they were refugees, they would have stopped in the first safe country after Syria. By the way, this is also part of the solution: all Syrians must return! Tomorrow! Why not? That country is safe. This is our country. Why would a Syrian be able to return from the refugee camps in Jordan or Lebanon and not from a refugee centre here? ”
Because the land is in ruins and dictator Assad uses poison gas against his own people for example.
“There are many countries in the world that have not very pleasant regimes.”
Back to the Netherlands. We also have a constitution in this country that protects such things as freedom of education and religion. Should that be altered?
“I do not see the word Islam in any constitution, but in jurisprudence Islam is considered to be a religion.”
Do you want to put into law that Islam is not a religion?
“We will have to see about legal possibilities Can it be done, how can it be done and what way can it be done. But it’s definitely worth studying”
So you want to ban Islam?
“I do not rule out that this may be necessary in the long run. It will concern the expressions. You can not ban an idea, that’s impossible. You can not ban communism either. ”
There is religious freedom in this country. But you want to record that Islam is not a religion.
“In my opinion it is not part of religious freedom. That is my political wish. How to execute such a thing is wish number two. ”
That is very useful for a politician if he makes a statement. What should we think of?
“That is what we have to look into. I have now lifted a tip of the veil. ”
Many people will be startled when they read this.
“We are not going to collect Qurans from people’s homes. What is going on behind their front door is their business. We are talking about public space, but it is too early to say anything about it now. ”
Does this not make it very casual?
“No. I have ventilated this for ten years.
“Some things you mention you have. But banning Islam is something different.
“If it is possible to put it into law, we will put it into law. But it will be about expressions. Recently we have also drafted an administrative detention bill for jihadists. I realize all problems will not be solved tomorrowby closing a mosque. You must make it unattractive in this country to profess Islam. People who want to come to the Netherlands from Islamic countries should think: this is not a place we want to go to! And we do not do this to bully Muslims, but to keep the Netherlands of the future a free Netherlands.”
This interview was published in De Telegraaf today , the largest daily newspaper in The Netherlands and was translated by the Party for Freedom.
Party for Freedom leader Geert Wilders is deeply concerned about Muslim integration. In our series Islam in the Netherlands he is warning about the “perishing”of our culture. “It is not five to twelve or two to twelve, it is almost morning!” The leader of the second party in the country is pondering about very far-reaching measures.
Geert Wilders (54) is not surprised at the shocking poll results released by daily newspaper De Telegraaf. The fact that only thirteen percent of the Dutch population feel that the problem of integration will solve itself is a writing on the wall, according to him. And that only eleven percent of the Dutch see Islam as an enrichment proves in his opinion that what he has been calling for years. “If I had said that three years ago, I would have had tens of thousands of police reports thrown at me. But people are completely fed up with it. ”
How do you explain the figures?
“Decades ago, a few thousand people from Islamic countries would stay temporarily. But temporarily turned out to be permanently. Those thousands of guest workers became hundreds of thousands. And in Europe millions of people by now. Back then those people were called upon to integrate and assimilate. But Islam, the word says it already, seeks to dominate. Not long ago Professor Koopmans found that as much as seventy percent of Muslims find Islamic rules more important than secular laws. In Europe almost weekly innocent people are slaughtered in name of Allah and Islam. Proudly. We have been declared war and we refuse to defend ourselves.”
Who is responsible for this?
“I think that probably the worst of all is that Western European politicians have allowed this to happen. Last week Sybrand Buma of the Christian democratic party CDA was suddenly critical of Islam. That is like a bank robber who, twenty years after the robbery, has spent all the money and apologizes for doing so. He is the one who did it. CDA has been in power in the Netherlands for 50 years. ”
Is it not a bit blunt to say …
“No!”
… that Muslims do not integrate?
“I am talking about Islam. But research also points out that 11 percent of Dutch Muslims in the Netherlands are prepared to use violence on behalf of their religion. That is a 110,000 people, twice the size of the Dutch army! ”
But perhaps many Muslims in fact take Islam less serious and profess their faith behind the front door, peacefully. Secretary Asscher of Integration said in this paper last week that those people should not be held accountable for terrorist attacks.
“Do you know, secretary Asscher and Prime Minister Rutte are two sides of the same coin. After the second attack in June, Rutte said that Muslims are double the victim, because they are not only victims of attacks, but also blamed for it as a group. For all I care everyone is free to get all teary-eyed but we will perish if we continue. It reminds me of what happened after the murder of Theo van Gogh. Some people, even members of the Royal House, went to a mosque as a first response. That is total cowardice. We are the victims.”

Austrian Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka is resisting EU efforts to increase his country’s migrant quota, claiming that 90 per cent of the Muslim asylum seekers in Austria end up on welfare benefits and strain the system.
Via: krone.at
The Austrian Interior Minister once again railed at attempts by the European Union to send more migrants to Austria, saying that the vast majority end up claiming benefits, Kronen Zeitung reports.Sobotka says “Austria has borne the main load from 2014 to 2017. Our system is simply overwhelmed,”
Sobotka says “Austria has borne the main load from 2014 to 2017,” and “Our system is simply overwhelmed”.
He added: “If you look at the asylum seekers, you can see that 90 percent are migrating to the needs-oriented minimum security system,” and said it was still of great importance to maintain border security.
“We had up to 15,000 refugees per day on some days, today it is an average of 30.
“It is important to keep the pressure on those who bring migrants illegally to Europe via the Mediterranean and in other ways.” he added saying that if the European Union fails to keep up the pressure it will be a sign for people smugglers who will double their efforts to smuggle more migrants into Europe.
He warned that if the European Union fails to keep up the pressure it will send a signal to people-smugglers, who will double their efforts to bring more migrants into Europe.
The EU’s migrant redistribution plan has been controversial in many countries, and some like Hungary and Poland have rejected the plan entirely. Hungary held a referendum on the issue last year in which the vast majority of Hungarians voted to reject the proposal as well.
Hungary and Slovakia made an appeal to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) claiming that the distribution agreement was invalid as it did not have unanimous consent from member states and their citizens.
The ECJ rejected the appeal last week, but both Hungary and Poland have maintained that they will still refuse to take in migrants.
It was also revealed this week that foreign-born mothers are drastically overrepresented among those who claim child care allowance in Austria, with one-third of all claimants coming from foreign backgrounds.
In the capital of Vienna, foreign-background families account for 55 per cent of claimants, costing taxpayers millions of euros.
Heinz-Christian Strache, chairman of the anti-mass migration Freedom Party (FPÖ), said the figures “show how deeply we are in a crisis of fairness”.
Strache urged the Austrian public to vote out the current Austrian People’s Party-Social Democrat coalition, “before the Austrian population exchanges”.

Nacka municipality has bought three condominiums in Saltsjöbaden, outside of Stockholm, for a total of 13,950,000 SEK for an immigrant with three wives, reveals SD Nacka on its Facebook page.
Via: friatider.se
It was under strict confidentiality that the social services in the municipality of Nacka acquired three condominiums in Saltsjöbaden for a family consisting of a man with three wives and 16 children.
SD Nacka has compiled information from the public records and minutes from the City Council and concluded that the data, originally made up of rumors, is correct.
In total, the municipality has purchased three housing units in the area of Ljuskärrsberget for 5.5, 3.3 and 5.2 million for the 57-year-old immigrant. The three wives are 40, 40 and 43 years old, according to SD Nacka’s press release.
So far, Nacka municipality has bought housing for a quarter of a billion for new arrivals in Nacka, which is called “Housing Supply for Social Needs”. Originally, you wanted to spend 100 million tax crowns, but prices have since shone a lot.
SD Nacka is strongly critical of the majority’s actions and has voted no to all budgets for housing rights for immigrants. On its Facebook page, the party also raises the big differences that apply to benefits between Swedes and immigrants.
“As a common Swedish couple with children, they have a statutory duty of duty (ÄktB 6kap 1§), if you do not live together, it has one maintenance obligation (ÄktB 6kap 6§). As a migrant to Sweden, you have the right to a homeowner paid by taxpayers, subsistence allowance, establishment allowance (with financial assistance covering excessive costs) and access to our entire welfare system, “the party notes in the social networking website and summarizes:
“SD Nacka thinks it’s all the way up the walls that Nackaborna’s tax money goes to financing housing for foreigners when Swedish families jump around in second homes, young people can not move from home and older people can look for housing on the block.”

The Nord-Vest Private School in Copenhagen, came under investigation by Danish authorities during an unannounced visit after teaching materials were found extolling and encouraging young people to commit jihad. Luqman Pedersen, a Danish convert to Islam, admitted to the authorities that the school wishes to create a parallel Muslim society.
Via: Judith Bergman
Two former teachers at the Nord-Vest school described how the children at the school spoke of Danes in terms of “them and us”. In a school poetry contest, several of the children composed poems that detailed their wish to beat up and break the legs and hands of the “Danish pigs”.
“I teach religion, but I was not allowed to teach Christianity. Instead, a visiting imam from Iraq taught Christianity… I could imagine that some of the boys I taught could have been radicalized,” a teacher said. The teachers tried to alert both politicians and authorities to some of the problems they had witnessed, but no one would listen.
Some Muslim schools in Denmark appear to be employing anti-Semitic teachers, enforcing gender inequality, employing violence against students, offering poor education in general, and teaching jihad.
There are 26 Muslim schools in Denmark. While they operate independently of the public schools, the state sponsors them heavily — as it does other independent schools in Denmark — covering 75 % of their budget. The demand for Muslim schools in Denmark has grown in the last decade, as Muslim schools have increased their number of pupils by almost 50% since 2007; they now cater to almost 5,000 pupils. (It is unknown, however, how many Muslim children learn in the so-called “Koran schools,” where Islam and Arabic are taught after school to those children who do not attend a Muslim day school. Koran schools — as revealed in the Danish TV documentary “Sharia in Denmark“) — are not under any supervision from state or municipal authorities).
Danish educational authorities are currently investigating seven Muslim schools for failing to follow the laws of independent schools, including the requirement that they prepare the students for life in Danish society, and teaching them about democracy and gender equality. That amounts to more than one quarter of all Muslim schools. The first Muslim school opened in Denmark in 1980. Nearly forty years later, Danish politicians appear to be only beginning to comprehend or take seriously the challenges that several of these schools present to Danish society.
Danish news outlets exposed some of those challenges this summer:
The school leader at Al Quds School in Copenhagen, Waleed Houji, posted anti-Semitic images from the Muslim terrorist organization Hamas on his Facebook profile. A class teacher at that same school, Naji Dyndgaard, a convert, wrote anti-Semitic posts on Facebook.
Another school, the Iqra School, is being investigated by Danish school authorities for not preparing children to become part of Danish society. The school’s former deputy leader, imam Shahid Mehdi, ran a website telling Muslims not to have non-Muslim friends. The school also told its students that having a boyfriend or girlfriend was forbidden.
The Nord-Vest Private School in Copenhagen came under investigation by Danish authorities during an unannounced visit after teaching materials were found extolling jihad and encouraging young people to wage it.
The school is also being investigated for the sale of its buildings to Ali Laibi Jabbar in December 2016 — Jabbar is a leading member of the Almuntadar Muslim association in Malmö, Sweden, which is a part of Iranian Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani’s organization, the Imam Ali foundation. Jabbar claims he only bought the buildings for investment purposes. At the beginning of September, the former leader of the school, Luqman Pedersen, a Danish convert to Islam, admitted to the authorities that the school wishes to create a parallel Muslim society; he also told them that the plan of the new buyer is to transform the buildings into an Islamic cultural center, which would include the school.
Two former teachers at the Nord-Vest school, Henriette Baden Hesselmann and Gitte Luttinen Ørnkow, described how the children at the school spoke of Danes in terms of “them and us”. In a school poetry contest in 2008, several of the children composed poems that detailed their wish to beat up and break the legs and hands of the “Danish pigs”. The former teachers described a school culture of intimidation and violence, with the head of the school board yelling at the students in Arabic and beating them. The former teachers added that all their students admitted that they were also beaten at home. The Jew-hatred was unmistakable, as the geography teacher discovered when he almost had to give up teaching a lesson about Israel due to the students’ hostility. Another teacher was told not to draw stars in the children’s books as a way of showing the children that they had done well, since the star was reminiscent of the Star of David. The girls were not allowed to participate in swimming lessons, sports, or music lessons.
One of the former teachers said:
“In general, large portions of the teaching were censored. I teach religion, but I was not allowed to teach Christianity. Instead, a visiting imam from Iraq taught Christianity… I could imagine that some of the boys I taught could have been radicalized.”
The teachers tried to alert both politicians and authorities to some of the problems they had witnessed, but no one would listen.
Following these revelations, several Danish opposition parties, including the Social Democrats, now wish to outlaw Muslim schools completely. According to Mette Frederiksen, leader of the Social Democratic party:
“…it’s not a good idea with Muslim schools. When you are a child in Denmark, it is incredibly important that you grow up in Danish culture and Danish everyday life. No matter how you spin it, an independent school based on Islam is not part of the majority culture in Denmark… Nor do I like the lack of equality in schools and these very hateful words against our Jewish minorities. It emphasizes that we have parallel societies.”
The government, however, is not enthusiastic; it says it fears that closing the schools would be unconstitutional and contravene the European Convention on Human Rights.

For a British boy to be killed by a grenade attack anywhere is appalling, but for it to happen in a suburb of Gothenburg should shatter a few illusions about Sweden. Last week’s murder of eight-year-old Yuusuf Warsame fits a pattern that Swedes have come slowly to recognise over the years.
Via: Tove Lifvendahl
He was from Birmingham, visiting relatives, and was caught up in what Swedish police believe is a gang war within the Somali community. Last year, a four-year-old girl was killed by a car bomb outside Gothenburg, another apparent victim of gang violence.
Fraser Nelson and Ivar Arpi discuss the Swedish model for migration on this week’s Spectator podcast:
For years, Sweden has regarded itself as a ‘humanitarian superpower’ — making its mark on the world not by fighting wars but by offering shelter to war’s victims. Refugees have arrived here in extraordinary numbers. Over the past 15 years, some 650,000 asylum-seekers made their way to Sweden. Of the 163,000 who arrived last year, 32,000 were granted asylum. Sweden accepts more refugees in proportion to size of population than any other nation in the developed world — when it comes to offering shelter, no one does it better. But when it comes to integrating those we take in (or finding the extra housing, schools and healthcare needed for them), we don’t do so well.
It may be news to the rest of the world, but gang warfare has been a feature of our country for years now. Stockholm has been witness to Dickensian scenes of young pickpockets and thieves playing games of cat-and-mouse with the police, who feel powerless. Until fairly recently, Sweden was admired for its progressive social policies. Today, one in seven voters supports the Sweden Democrats, a populist party until recently reviled in polite Swedish society.
The problems relating to immigration have been building up for years, but the country’s left and right were united in maintaining employment regulations and rent controls that kept immigrants unemployed in ghetto-like suburbs. As a result, we lost valuable time. Three years ago, there were riots in socially deprived areas of Stockholm, and it’s only got worse since then. A parallel society is emerging where the state’s monopoly on law and order is being challenged. ‘Today, the gang environment is — well, I don’t want to exactly call it the Wild West, but something in that direction,’ says Amir Rostami, an authority on Swedish organised crime who teaches at Stockholm University.
Integrating adults into Swedish society has been tricky enough, but a much more difficult problem is how to deal with all the unaccompanied children. During the Iraq war, about 400 children arrived without their parents each year — and all of them needed a place to live, social support and proper schooling. In 2014, when the number of children arriving annually hit 7,000, there were serious questions about how Sweden would cope. Last year, just over 35,000 unaccompanied children registered with the authorities.
The children are every age and arrive from all kinds of Muslim countries. Afghans and Somalis are currently the two biggest groups. Then come Syrians, Ethiopians, Iraqis, Moroccans and Eritreans. Some are fleeing war; many are fleeing poverty and misery. Strikingly, boys outnumber girls by about five to one. And it’s far from clear how many may in fact be adults — unlike other countries, Sweden doesn’t test for age. Whatever age the applicant gives is accepted, unless it’s ‘obviously’ untrue. The definition of ‘obvious’ is unclear. During one recent interview on Swedish radio, several asylum-seekers confessed to lying about their age to improve their chances of settlement. One, called Dawood, put it bluntly: ‘If I say I’m grown-up, they’ll deport me.’
The cost of accommodating our child refugees is enormous: £160 per child per day. That could be money well spent, if it worked. There are serious concerns, though, about children falling victim to predatory adults who have lied about their age. Earlier this year, a boy of 12 was raped in refugee accommodation by another refugee who claimed to be 15. A dental X-ray suggested the attacker was closer to 19. Later that month, a 22-year-old Swede (herself the daughter of immigrants) was stabbed to death by one of the refugees she was caring for — another adult claiming to be 15.
Such horrific stories raise the fear that the authorities have lost control. This is reflected in the extraordinary rise of the Sweden Democrats. There have also been a spate of attacks on refugee centres, some of which have been burnt down. For many, this seems like history repeating itself — similar attacks occurred in the 1990s, after a rapid influx of Balkan refugees. Such acts cast a dark shadow over our reputation for tolerance.
A while ago, I spoke to Lasse Siggelin, a social worker living in Gotland, who is alarmed at how many unaccompanied children are being placed in refugee care homes that seem hopelessly unfit for the task. Carers are instructed not to talk about the asylum process, or even to ask about the children’s backgrounds. ‘We can’t ask about their home, or about their parents,’ says Siggelin. ‘But such things occupy 90 per cent of their thoughts.’
Child refugees are sent to Swedish schools, but they struggle to integrate and are sometimes placed in separate groups, because of their vastly different learning needs. It’s pretty hard to bond with your classmates if you have to return every night to a care home. Even if school staff want to help, they seldom have the time or capacity to offer a shoulder to cry on. Instead, the children are directed to scheduled appointments with a child psychiatrist. As Siggelin explains, ‘If we don’t acknowledge the hurt and sadness that is there, then there are always people queuing up prepared to lead them astray.’
Those ‘queuing up’ include drug dealers, pimps, gangmasters and even jihadists. Sweden’s care homes have become a rich source of vulnerable young men who are full of frustration and hopelessness and lacking in direction. They may be open to the temptation of easy rewards, or of a path that they are promised will bring new meaning to their lives. There have been reports of Islamic State recruitment drives, not just in public places, but inside Swedish government programmes. Last year my newspaper, Svenska Dagbladet, exposed how some official schemes had been infiltrated by jihadists.
But stories of shocking abuse, the kind that would be front-page news in Britain, are relegated to the inside pages of the Swedish press. Tragically, the reason for this is that there is so much of it. In the last few weeks, we have heard about child prostitutes being pimped out in parking lots, and a Palestinian 15-year-old who, it is feared, was forced into prostitution while living in a care home in Malmo. For some time now, children in care homes have been notoriously easy prey and many of them simply vanish — over the past five years, well over a thousand have done so. These children face a sickeningly high risk of being sucked into a life of crime or even sex slavery. As their abusers well know, there is virtually no chance of anyone coming to look for the ones who go missing.
‘There is basically nothing we can do,’ says the head of Skane border police. ‘In some cases, we don’t even have descriptions of the children. So there is no means of identifying them… no information about relatives. We have nothing to work with.’ Lisa Green, who monitors human trafficking in Malmo, has reported 40 cases of suspected child trafficking to the police over the past few years but says her complaints were not even recorded. ‘Nobody is dealing with human trafficking,’ says Mattias Sigfridsson, head of the police department that deals with missing persons. ‘We have no ability to do that right now — there are no staff.’
In response to the crisis that threatens to overwhelm it, Swedish politics has become more realistic, less romantic. Passports are now being checked on the famous Oresund bridge that links Sweden with Denmark. As a result, the journey time has doubled, horrifying Malmo residents who like to regard their city as a satellite of Copenhagen, and making cross-border business more difficult. These new checks have helped fight other crimes, such as drug dealing and drink driving. (Sweden’s minister for sixth-form education failed a breathalyser test and later resigned.)
And still the authorities struggle to deal with the problem of what to do with migrants whose asylum claims are rejected. Between January and April this year, the Migration Agency handed over some 2,645 cases to the police for deportation. Just 1,255 of these are classified as complete — two thirds were deported by force, while the rest left the country voluntarily. Police estimate they will deport 4,000 people this year, up a third from last year, but not much of a dent in the 22,000 cases currently under consideration. Many, of course, will have been summoned and then suddenly disappeared into the expanding Swedish underworld.
As the refugees have arrived, ordinary Swedes have responded in an extraordinary way; individuals and families have opened up their homes, donated clothes and supplies, invested time and effort. Businesses have also found ways to help child refugees to integrate properly into Swedish society by offering opportunities for work. But with the best will in the world, it’s still a race against time.
‘If you are not prepared, you are unprepared.’ These are the words of Fredrik Reinfeldt, our former prime minister, and perfectly sum up Sweden’s migration crisis. We still hear politicians defiantly claim that our country is a humanitarian superpower — but they don’t do so as often, and they sound distinctly less smug when they do. The Swedish Way might not shine quite as brightly as a beacon to the world. But anyone who wants to find out how not to handle a migration crisis is welcome to pay us a visit.

Submission. That’s what the word “Islam” means. Muslims must submit to Allah, and the rest of the world must eventually submit to Islam. Submission does not necessarily require conversion, but it does require that one acknowledge the superiority of Islam, pay the jizya tax, and, in general, keep one’s head down.
Via: William Kilpatrick
Europe is currently in the process of submitting to Islam, and America also seems destined to eventually submit. If you have young children or grandchildren, it’s likely that they will have to adapt at some point to living in a Muslim-dominated society. It won’t necessarily be a Muslim-majority society because, as history testifies, Muslims don’t need a majority in order to successfully take control of non-Muslim societies.
If and when Islam persuades America to submit, it most probably won’t be through force of arms. The civilizational struggle in which we are now engaged is primarily a culture war. America used to be good at cultural warfare because America once had cultural confidence. The Cold War was in large part a cultural war, and America won it because it didn’t have qualms about demonstrating the superiority of the American way to the Soviet way.
But times change. These days, may Americans would rather shred their culture than spread it. Cultural shame rather than cultural pride rules the day. And, not surprisingly, people who are ashamed of their culture can’t be counted on to defend it. Those who are anxious to pull down statues of Washington, Jefferson, and Columbus are unlikely to put up much resistance to Islam’s cultural aggression. Instead, they will be disposed to facilitate it.
Islam, on the other hand, is full of new-found cultural pride. After the defeat of the Russians in Afghanistan, the overthrow of the Shah in Iran, and the toppling of the Twin Towers, Muslims could once again believe that Allah had destined them to subjugate the world to Islam. At the same time that Americans began to doubt their own cultural heritage, Islam undertook a remarkable campaign to export its ideology to the rest of the world. Enabled by massive oil revenues, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf States funded the building of mosques and madrassas all over the world. While America was investing heavily in new weapons systems, the Gulf States were placing their bets on a weaponized religious system.
And there’s the rub. Buoyed by the initial successes in Iraq and Afghanistan, Americans began to think of the war against jihad as primarily a military affair. In the process of defeating the enemy on the battlefield, we lost sight of the cultural side of the struggle. But Islamists stayed focused on the larger picture. While we were winning the armed battles in Afghanistan and Iraq, the cultural jihadists were winning battle after battle on the culture front.
Indeed, most of the Islamist victories came without a struggle. Key cultural institution in the West simply acquiesced to whatever it was that the Islamists wanted. Hijabs in the workplace? Diversity demands it. Prayer breaks for Muslim employees? Well, no more than five a day. Islam-friendly curriculums in K-through grad-school? Think of it as affirmative action for years of neglect. More Muslim immigrants? It would be against our values to say no.
A culture war can only be fought by cultural institutions—schools, churches, political and civic organizations, and so on. As things stand, however, none of our cultural institutions have shown much evidence that they are equipped to fight a culture war with cultural jihadists. The chief reason this is so is that most of these institutions are still fighting the last culture war—the civil rights struggle and the concomitant war against intolerance, racism, and bigotry. This “old-war” mentality makes it nearly impossible for our cultural and civic leaders to resist Islamization. Because so many Americans still live mentally in a time when intolerance was considered the greatest evil, they have difficulty understanding that an indiscriminate tolerance can father just as many sins.
One way of grasping the vulnerability of our society to Islamization is to ask “Who’s going to stop it?” Where, exactly, are the forces of resistance?
The university? American universities are bastions of political correctness and mandatory tolerance. Most of them are already quite sympathetic to the Islamic point of view. A combination of intimidation (from both Muslim and leftist groups), Saudi money, and multicultural ideology has ensured that when push comes to shove, the universities will line up with the Islamist camp. If present trends continue, American universities will fold to Islam just as German universities once folded to the Nazis.
The media? The media is still trying to find a motive for the 9-11 attack. That’s because it still won’t make the connection between Islamic terror and Islamic belief. In general, media people see it as their duty to put the best possible face on all things Islamic. Scratch the media as a source of resistance.
The Church? As with college administrators, many Church leaders are deeply mired in multicultural ideology. They are constantly on the lookout for offenses against the “other.” Accordingly, American bishops seem to think that “Islamophobia” poses a grave threat to society. Many of them seem more concerned about anti-Muslim bigotry than about the victims of Islamic terror. To prove that they themselves are not “Islamophobes,” the USCCB operates one of the largest programs for resettling refugees from Muslim countries into the U.S. Besides facilitating Muslim migration, American, as well as European bishops, have facilitated the migration of Islamic beliefs. On numerous occasions, prominent clergy have pronounced these beliefs to be benign and peaceful, and thus deserving of a warm welcome. In general, Church leaders see themselves as friends and protectors of Islam. Given their current mindset, the bishops are unlikely to recognize an Islamic cultural putsch, let alone resist it.
Big Business? Corporations also qualify as cultural institutions. Much of our understanding of what is culturally acceptable and unacceptable is picked up in the workplace. This can be a good thing and often was in the past. Unfortunately, many corporations now reflect and magnify some of the worst cultural trends: arbitrary speech codes, draconian diversity policies, transgenderism, and the like. Currently, several large corporations are using their leverage to suppress speech that is critical of Islam. Giant companies such as PayPal, Google, Facebook, and Twitter are actively trying to shut down websites and individuals that provide accurate information about Islamic cultural jihad. The media monopolies are playing the role that the Ministry of Truth played in Orwell’s 1984. All the really useful information about Islam that has been painfully accumulated in recent years is being quietly dropped down the memory hole.
Why are the counter-jihad sites being shut down? Because they supposedly are “intolerant” and “racist.” Here we come back to the “old-war” mentality. The corporations, the schools, the churches, and the media are ready to do battle with racists, sexists, homophobes, Islamophobes, and transgenderphobes, but they lack the mindset that would allow them to resist the long march through the institutions being conducted by determined and skillful cultural jihadists. In short, their energies are focused on evils that have long been in retreat or on non-existent evils (transgenderphobia, etc.). Meanwhile, the much larger threat posed by Islam draws ever closer.
The people who might be expected to fight this new culture war are scarcely aware of its existence. They are too busy championing the cause of newly invented “civil rights.” Fifty years ago they would have been on the cutting edge, now they are on the edge of irrelevancy.
Nowadays, the cutting edge is elsewhere. And when the “cutting-edge” cultural and business elites meet the cutting-edge of Islamization, they will almost inevitably submit to it. That is what they have already begun to do. And as the culture war with Islam heats up, the submission process will only accelerate.

There as been a huge increase of Islamist violent extremists in Sweden. Said Sapo Boss Anders Thornberg in Sunday’s SVT agenda, As he appeals for community assistance to avoid new terrorist council.

SVT Agenda sent extra long Alarm yesterday because of the increasing Islamist radicalization in Sweden.
This summer, Säpo reported that there are as many as 2,000 violent Islamic extremists in the country. It is a very big difference since 2010, which according to Säpo was only around 200.
“It has been a huge increase. It’s a completely different position than we had before, “says Anders Thornberg.
According to the Säpo boss, it is about individuals who confess to the caliphate’s idea and who help with money and logistics.
Säpo sure that the number is correct, but there may be even more that have not yet been found.
Anders Thornberg believes that the extreme increase of Islamist radicalization is due to “exclusion”.
“What worries me is the growth in these environments. It’s hard for us in the security service as it constantly increases because that means we need to keep an eye on even more.
He believes that local communities in the so-called extradition areas need to help to stop radicalization. It includes social services, municipalities, parents, schools and sports movements, which according to Thornberg are those who have eyes and ears in the areas.
“You have to find these individuals and see when they get lost.
In order to combat the Islamic extremists, Säpo has also received unusual help from the police, which, among other things, shares more information than ever with the security service.
“The police provide very large resources to help us get information. We have never received as much information from the police as we get right now. It is necessary for us to put the jigsaw puzzle and identify these networks, “says Anders Thornberg.

Until recently, the very notion that some European neighborhoods were “no-go” zones was vehemently dismissed by politicians and commentators on both sides of the Atlantic as a myth, a lie, a vicious right-wing calumny. But even as Swedish officials were denying the existence of such zones in their own country, they were secretly mapping them out and overseeing a police effort to liberate them.

The Sweden Democrats are on the rise because voters finally grasp the extent and significance of the damage their elites have been doing to their country — and the elites, both in the media and in government, are scrambling to snap into line in order to keep hold on power.
In some ways, the winds in Scandinavia may be turning, but it does not seem as if Stanghelle and his ilk are about to speak the whole truth about Islam, or to apologize for their inexcusable abuse of those who have.
Not long ago, Norwegian journalists were virtually united in representing Sweden, with its exceedingly liberal immigration policy and its strict limits on public discussion of the subject, as a model of enlightened thinking that deserved to be emulated. Meanwhile Denmark, with its far freer atmosphere of debate (remember the Danish cartoons) and more sensible border controls, was almost universally depicted in Norway as a deplorable hotbed of Islamophobia. That appears to be changing. As Hans Rustad of the alternative Norwegian news website Document.no noted recently, the term “Swedish conditions,” which some of us have been using for years to refer to the colossal scale of Sweden’s Muslim-related problems, is actually turning up these days in the mainstream Norwegian media — although the relationship of those conditions to Islam is still routinely underplayed, if not entirely avoided.
Until recently, Denmark, with its far freer atmosphere of debate and more sensible border controls, was almost universally depicted in Norway as a deplorable hotbed of Islamophobia.

Case in point: on August 10, the daily Aftenposten ran a piece by Tarjei Kramviken about an official Swedish report stating that police, during the past couple of years, have been pursuing an organized campaign to “take back neighborhoods from criminals who have set up parallel societies.” But the attempt, the report admitted, has failed. Instead, even more such neighborhoods have sprung up, and the level of violence within them has become more common, more brutal, and more spontaneous. If a police car crosses the invisible border, it is pelted with rocks or bottles.
The neighborhoods in question are, of course, Muslim neighborhoods, and the criminals are Muslims. Although the persons in question are indeed criminals — they carry guns, sell drugs, commit burglaries, and break out into the occasional riot — the use of the word criminals seems somewhat euphemistic. We are not talking about some kind of Mafia that has moved into certain neighborhoods, taken them over, and terrorized the locals. The criminals are the locals. They are the young men who live there. Maybe not every last young man, but a high percentage of them. Some of these criminals, moreover, are mere children. One Stockholm cop told Kramviken about “five-year-olds who give the finger to the police and say nasty things.”
What we are talking about here, needless to say, is not conventional crime and run-of-the-mill perpetrators but the violent psychopathology associated with a certain religion. We are also talking about the notorious “no-go zones.” Until recently, the very notion that some European neighborhoods were “no-go” zones was vehemently dismissed by politicians and commentators on both sides of the Atlantic as a myth, a lie, a vicious right-wing calumny. But even as Swedish officials were denying the existence of such zones in their own country, they were secretly mapping them out and overseeing a police effort to liberate them.
To be sure, they don’t call them “no-go zones.” Just as the British media refer euphemistically to “Asian neighborhoods,” Swedish officials label such heavily Muslim areas as Rinkeby in Stockholm, Rosengård in Malmö, and Biskopsgården in Gothenburg as “vulnerable areas” and “especially vulnerable areas.” Aftenposten‘s Kramviken, while frank about the nature and level of criminal activities in these areas, is careful to skirt the issue of Islam. The word appears nowhere in his article; instead, he focuses on the Muslim neighborhoods’ low rates of education and employment and high levels of disability claims and long-term sick leave.
Kramviken’s piece came a little over a week after a commentary by Aftenposten‘s editor-in-chief, Harald Stanghelle, who claimed to have noticed a rapid shift in Sweden’s public-debate climate over the last year or so, particularly as regards the topic of immigration. Suddenly, mainstream Swedish politicians are talking positively about “Swedish values” and listening to the concerns of ordinary Swedes; Åsa Linderborg, a leftist editor at Sweden’s daily Aftonbladet, has actually apologized for calling Norway’s Progress Party “fascist” because of its support for immigration reform. Stanghelle attributed this sea change to the current refugee crisis, the votes for Brexit and Trump, and the growing success at the polls of the officially reviled anti-mass-immigration Sweden Democrats Party.
Well, one thing is true: the Sweden Democrats are on the rise because voters finally grasp the extent and significance of the damage their elites have been doing to their country — and the elites, both in the media and in government, are scrambling to snap into line in order to keep hold on power. What Stanghelle does not mention is that the same exact shift is taking place, on a smaller scale, in Norway. One example of this shift is Stanghelle’s own essay, in which he writes with apparent approval of what he depicts as the Swedish establishment’s increasing openness to critics of uncontrolled immigration — even as he ignores the massive role that the Norwegian media, including Aftenposten, have played in the creating the disaster for which that immigration is responsible.
There is one word that is at the very heart of what Stanghelle is writing about but that (as with Kramviken) appears not once in his piece: namely, Islam. For years, Stanghelle’s own rag has systematically whitewashed, and outright celebrated, the “religion of peace.” even as it has mendaciously and malignantly demonized its critics. In some ways, the winds in Scandinavia may be turning, but it does not seem as if Stanghelle and his ilk are about to speak the whole truth about Islam, or to apologize for their inexcusable abuse of those who have.

Minister of Immigration Inger Støjberg announced that Denmark won’t accept any uslim refugees under the UN’s quota system this year and will in the future seek greater flexibility in determining how many may resettle in the future – she also commissioned a study to chart the extent of kids being sent on ‘re-schooling’ trips to their Muslim parents’ native country. Out of 308 criminal immigrants awaiting deportation, 202 have disappeared according to the latest police figures.
DPP leader Kristian Thulesen Dahl said his party is ready to form a government after the next election but as an equal partner of the Liberals and without the Conservatives and Liberal Alliance (LA) – the latest Greens poll for financial daily Børsen indicated the five parties on the left would win 54% of the vote if an election was held today, compared with only 46% for the three coalition partners and their parliamentary backer, the DPP.
In its latest Outlook for the Danish Economy, published Wednesday, the National Bank noted a ‘solid upswing with increased labour market pressure’ but warned there’s a definite possibility of overheating.
The rate of inflation is the highest for five years – the consumer price index rose at a stable rate of 1.5 percent year-over-year in August, the the fastest since December 2012.
