The network connects shopping centers, subway tunnels, parking garages and pathways that accompany power and water lines.
Tunnels also lead into passageways used only by the military and connect to an island used exclusively for the military regiment responsible for defending Helsinki.

Is their Muslim problem as bad as it is in Sweden?

BenLurkin :" Is their Muslim problem as bad as it is in Sweden?"

Not Likely !

"Hundreds of predominantly Iraqi migrants who have travelled through Europe to reach Finland are turning back to Sweden,
saying they don’t want to stay in the sparsely-populated country on Europe’s northern frontier because it’s too cold and boring.
Sweden may be just as cold as Finland, but Sweden has bigger Muslim welfare communities.

(continuing)
"On September 19 (2015), several busloads of migrants made U-turns on the Swedish side when they saw more than 500 Finns form a “human barrier”
on the Finnish side to protest against the sudden influx of Muslims.
Anti-Muslim sentiment may be prompting some migrants to leave Finland, where the populist anti-Islamization True Finns Party is the second-biggest political party."

ENOUGH SAID !!
They are as equally protective of their sovereignty from Russia !

The Russians might want to crack open a history book or two. This didn’t go too well the last time they tried it, thanks to Simon Haeyhae and others
