Two Bombings in One Night? That’s Normal Now in Sweden.
Common Sense News ^ | September 22, 2022 | Paulina Neuding

Posted on 09/22/2022 9:17:25 AM PDT by karpov

Yesterday morning, Swedes woke up to news of a kind that has become all-too familiar: During the night, powerful bombs exploded at apartment buildings in two different towns in southern Sweden.

One person was severely injured in Åstorp, where a witness told the press: “People screamed and cried. It felt so unreal.” A resident told Radio Sweden that his 7-year-old had come running into his bedroom screaming, as the blast made their apartment shake.

...

Since 2018, there have been almost 500 bombings—yes, bombings—in what is known as one of the most stable societies in the world.

There’s not just a bombing problem. There are shootings, too.

Sweden, which has a population of around 10 million, has the highest per-capita number of deadly shootings of 22 European countries. Forty-seven people have been shot dead so far this year, which, while far from American levels of gun homicide, is extreme for Europe. Other European countries have come to look at Sweden with horror.

...

Sweden’s foreign-born population has doubled to 20 percent since 2000. No other country took in more immigrants per capita during the 2015 migration wave—from countries like Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. Nearly 23 percent of Swedish adults were born abroad. (At the height of American immigration, in 1890 that statistic was slightly less than 15 percent.) And most asylum seekers have been men. In 2015, for example, 70 percent of those seeking refuge in Sweden were male.

Many immigrants have integrated well into Swedish society, but too many have ended up in segregated suburbs, where unemployment is high and crime is rampant. In an area like Malmö’s Rosengård, for instance, labor force participation among adults is less than 50 percent, and 21 percent of households rely on social welfare.

But the important thing is that the Swedes, as enlightened Europeans — as opposed to ignorant American cowboys, are able to signal their virtue to the world.

Sweden’s foreign-born population has doubled to 20 percent since 2000.

That 10% foreign-born population in the year 2000 was probably composed chiefly of Finns and Norwegians.

I'm guessing that today's "foreign-born" population is familiar with "more southerly climes."

Regards,

Frida of ABBA was "Foreign-Born". Born in Norway to a Norwegian mother and a German Wehrmacht Father.

Every country has its little eccentricities. In Sweden it's hand grenades. Seriously - the author notes that their gun homicides don't reach U.S. levels but I really don't know anywhere outside maybe the more violent stretches of the Middle East where hand grenades are quite that, er, popular. Especially the ex-Yugoslavian M75 grenade according to the linked article.

“They call them “New Swedes”.

I imagine there wont be the old swedes for too much longer. I imagine women who are something other than 5’3 with brown hair and brown eyes are quite the prize for a conquering culture

It’s called the Third World for a reason! America would never do something as stupid as try to absorb millions of its people.

> Sweden’s foreign-born population has doubled to 20 percent since 2000. <

Dr. Peter Hammond made a study of how society changes as the percentage of Muslims increases. Here’s what he says about 10% and 20%:

“When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris —car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam - Mohammed cartoons).

After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning.”

It must be noted that George W. Bush deserves a lot of the blame here. That fool upset the applecart in the Middle East, and that got the whole mass Muslim migration thing started.

“Many” of the New Swedes are integrating into Swedish society

Notice that the author could bring himself to use use even the word “most” - just the ambiguous and euphemistic word “many”

That of course means only a small fraction of the Afghan and African Muslims are integrating into Swedish culture

In a positive note- they should be easy to identify and deport as soon as the Swedes get the courage to do so
