Sweden’s immigration policy is honourable but has not come without social problems — which in turn herald a political shakeup.
Sweden has accepted more refugees per capita than any other European country. At the height of the European refugee crisis in 2015, Sweden accepted 10,000 refugees per week. Sweden’s liberal immigration policy is honourable, but it does not come without problems. As social problems increase, Sweden’s far right party, the Sweden Democrats (SD) are gaining territory and will likely be the major winner in the next election.
Sweden has 53 areas defined as particularly vulnerable areas, vulnerable areas, and risk areas. 15 of these areas are particularly vulnerable and are primarily located in the suburbs of Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmo. The National Operations Department (NOA), part of the Swedish police, defines particularly vulnerable areas as areas where the safety and security situation is difficult or impossible to control. Attacks against police officers are common, particularly during arrests. The most notable outbreak of violence occurred in 2013 when hundreds of cars and schools were set on fire and police were attacked in Stockholm’s poorer suburbs. Intimidation of witnesses to crimes that could testify in court is common, which undermines the legal system.
NOA also mentions that particularly vulnerable areas in Sweden have parallel society structures, or their own norms, economies, and legal systems. Violence is a regular occurrence and can happen during the day and put innocent bystanders at risk. The level of violence is increasingly deadly, particularly between different criminal constellations. Religious extremism is present in a third of these areas with intolerance against moderate Muslims and individuals travelling to join foreign terrorist groups.

Not being an Islamist victim probably gets the far-right designation too.
Good.
More power to them.
I hope Ragnar Lothbrok comes back - WITH AN ATTITUDE!
I’m pretty sure “far right” in Sweden would be equivalent to a mainstream democrat in the United States....
How long before Sweden gets listed as a terrorist sponsoring state?
This HAD to happen. The Swedes can take only so much and you can BET that MOST of the anger simply isn’t reported.
(1975) - “Hey Johanns! Our country is too homogeneous and white! There’s no crime, no cars burning, no nothing! Let’s import some Africans and jihadists and watch it go to pot! Durka durka durka!”
(yawn) There is no “Far Right” in Europe. There is only “Less Leftist” and “Real Leftist”.
“Sweden’s immigration policy is honourable...”
There is nothing honorable about suicide.
“honourable”
Is that Swedish for “Stupid”?
“Sweden’s liberal immigration policy is honourable,”
No, it is not. It has put their entire society at risk.
The premises it is based on are false. Good intentions are not enough if they result in evil effects.
All politicians claim good intentions.
Socialism always fails.
“far right” = common-sense conservatives
My first thought as well.....why even preface with such stupidity?
No it is NOT honorable, it is self destructive... nothing honorable comes at the price of suicide.
Harry Truman=Far right.
JFK=Far FAAAAAAAAAAAAR right!
IKE=Far, FAR, OVER-THE-TOP RIGHT.
The Donald=Ohmygodohmygodohmygodomygod!! A genuine Hitler he is (and NOT in good way either).
The backlash could be severe.
Sweden’s immigration policy is not honorable. It is a dangerous denial of the existence of evil in this world.
IMHO, Europe has these historical cycles of stasis followed by (often violent) upheaval. If I were a Muslim or one of those excusing abuses by the more egregious offenders, I would start to worry.
We got something like that here, we call it "Congress".
