"How many of those immigrants were taking part in the anti-Israel demonstrations?"

I was wondering if the anti-Israel demonsrations were being led by Moslem immigrants.

What we've been hearing over here is that Sweden has been having problems with radicalized Moslem immigrants.

(My answer:) - I don't think anti-Israel demonstrators exactly are being "led" by radicalized Muslim immigrants, even though native Swedish Communists (the kind of spoiled middle class youth that smash up McDonald's restaurants in order to "save" the Third World from "evil Capitalism") and such Muslims often protest against Israel together.

In Sweden, some radical Arab Anti-Israel activists cooperate with Neo Nazists as well.

European Neo Nazis hate Israel due to their traditional racist ideology, of course, while European leftists hate Israel because of their close ties to the US.

Sweden have not had the kind of problems with radicalized Muslims as the UK or Spain has had.

When it comes to crime committed in Sweden by people from Muslim countries, I don't think it has to do much with radical Islamism. Some think so, but I'm not convinced. It's a little like saying Russian mafia is inspired by Russian Orthodox Christianity.

But, naturally, radical Muslims who don't wish to conform to the Swedish way of life and isolate them self in areas like infamous Rosengård in Malmö, are a problem, without necessarily being involved in crime.
