Sweden's dream turns to nightmare as migrant crime soars
American Thinker ^ | 01/30/2016 | Rick Moran

Sweden is one of the most welcoming countries in Europe, taking in more refugees per capita than anyone else. 

But residents of at least one small town outside of Gothenburg, Sweden's second largest city, are beginning to regret that open arms policy.

Mölndal is a quiet suburb of 63,000. But in the last year, more than 4,000 refugees - most of them unaccompanied minors from the Middle East and Africa - have set off a crime wave that culminated in the murder of a social worker in a refugee center that has shocked Europe.

Daily Mail:

The murder of social worker Alexandra Mezher at a home for unaccompanied refugees this week has shone the spotlight on the country’s controversial open-door immigration policy.

The 22-year-old’s mother Chimene, who arrived in Sweden as a refugee, claims the country is no longer safe.

Heartbroken Mrs Mezher said: ‘We left Lebanon to escape the civil war, the violence and the danger. We came to Sweden where it was safe, to start a family. But it is not safe anymore.’

Her husband Bourous, 45, moved to Sweden from Beirut in 1989 and built up a pizza business. Mrs Mezher, who has three sons, said: 'She was not just my daughter, she was my angel. She was a just and fair human being. There were so many who loved her. She was my daughter, my friend.'

She blamed Swedish politicians for a dramatic rise in immigration in Molndal – particularly of unaccompanied children.

Officers in Mölndal say they have had to ignore lesser offences such as drug-dealing because they are so overrun by migrant crime, with gang fights and violent assaults.

If someone is wearing enough loose flammable material to make a large flag, why would they be waving a burning one over their head?

Oh, look - it turns out that the government was the real enemy here by putting people in danger. Surprise, surprise.

What “dream’?

The only idiots who tried to sell this as a ‘dream’ are the liberal morons who dreamed of a muslim takeover of the planet.

Hey Sveeeeeden wants some peace? Round up every last one of these dirty imports and send them back from whence they came.
Yes Joe— Sweden like Germany, like France, Like Britain and like Italy are ruled by stupid morons. Its like inviting ex-cons and child molesters to live in the neighborhood. What a disaster...

See those dirty Muzzies burning the Swedish flag? Take a high pressure fire hose hooked into a deep vat of liquefied raw sewage and spray these cretins with an unholy bath.

It will take many more deaths of social workers before anyone gets a clue in that idiot country. I’m good with it occurring, because I can’t do anything about. They can, and won’t. Carry on teeny boppers.

I didn’t know that (didn’t pay attention as I should have to the article), I thought the Euro media was takng a page from the US media in which they call minority offenders “teens” to make them sound more innucuous.

You just have to love the picture of the dancing monkeys. All they need now are tin cups an a lunatic mullah as an organ grinder and you would achieve perfection.

“didn’t pay attention as I should have to the article”

I’m not sure it was mentioned in this piece or not, but I had read it somewhere else. It’s quite depraved no matter.
