I think Bawer is using some interpol figures from 2003 published in the Economist, which has later proven to be wrong.

Wikipedia states:


In 2003, there were 189 homicides in Sweden [3]. In 2001, there were 169, which gives a rate of cirka 2 murders per 100,000 inhabitants. This figure is in line with most European countries, which also have a level of between 1-2. For comparisments: U.S has 6 murders per 100,000; and Russia: 20.5.

Jihad in Swedish Schools

"Even more news from Sweden's third largest city, Malmö, the evolving tragedy of failed immigration policies and runaway crime rates. Set to become the first major Scandinavian city with a Muslim majority a few years from now, it is the horror story in the ongoing collapse of Swedish society."

Americans of a European ancestry have rates very similar to those of European countries.
