One should take this as an extreme viewpoint. I have visited Sweden twice in the last three years and never saw evidence of crime or unrest. My wife and I wandered around the streets of Stockholm with no problems at all.

We did not go to Malmo, but a Swedish friend of mine has a brother in Malmo and he denies that this is a widespread problem.

I spend a lot of time in France. There are certain neighborhoods where you just don't go. Outside of those neighborhoods in Paris, you don't see anything special.

I was in an RER station that we were warned to avoid. We were not told that this was a Muslim problem, but I suspect that that is the case. We noticed that the police were patrolling, armed, six officers together, with two dogs. I felt uncomfortable.

I was in France during the end of the car burnings last year and didn't notice a thing. I was apprehensive, but assured when I saw lots of people pushing baby strollers on the streets of Paris.

I suspect that the situation is similar in Sweden. The local government succeeds in limiting the problem to specific areas where these thugs hold court.

How long the situation can be "contained" is the question to be asked.

Thanks for the report.

You must not have noticed that strollers are excellent tools to carry fire bombs, guns and other weapons.

I suspect that Marie Antoinette didn't notice a thing at Versailles.
Until it was too late.

But what you are saying is true of many conflicts. You can be in a beautiful
place...and a few miles up the road Hades is the rule of the day.
And there might not be a clue of what's going on.

Your Swedish friend's brother and his uncle's nephew's wife, etc., you get the picture; must be living in an isolated cave outside Malmo!!!
