One of the most Muslim cities throughout Europe is Malmö, Sweden.
What does it look like?

(Choose "Malmö")
No I don't wish to say there is no problem. There is. My point is this;
- There is much at stake.
- Distrust those who claim the game is already lost.
Yeah, it’s called Detroit.
Dearbornistan?
Exactly
“Yeah, it’s called Detroit”
- When I was I kid here in Sweden (around 1975), we were informed by our school teachers Detroit was a rich city.
Many parts of the US and the EU are really rich today, but even though Malmö has a bad repututation, I think most people there are better off than average Americans and continental Europeans.
I’ll take Detroit for 500, Alex.............
I was in Malmo in 2000. It was beautiful..............
American cities generally reverse the European pattern where poorer people tend to live in suburbs outside the city center.
“American cities generally reverse the European pattern where poorer people tend to live in suburbs outside the city center”
- True.
American cities are very different to their European counterparts. Especially to those on Scandinavian ground. The most expensive homes in my part of the world are not the incredible mansions found in the countryside (who has the time to live there?), but the apartments close to the waterfront and the Royal Castle of Stockholm (where our Royal family do NOT dwell any longer).
Thank you for posting this remark.
This is an evident sign of Muslim intolerance and if Malmö is to survive as a city marked by Northern European tolerance, such behavior has got to be denounced once and for all, citywise and nationwise.
If the Muslims of Malmö sincerely wish to adapt to Scandinavian ways of life, they are welcome (at their present level).
They can stay here for some time, but daily many of them have to get sent back.
The remaining issue is this:
In what way do they wish to conform?
In no way.
So much left to be done..
I poked around at ten or more places around the city. It looked VERY clean to me and I didn't see any mosques.

Malmo is not a very pretty city. Nothing that would make me say, “yeah, I’d like to go there.”

- I agree, it isn’t much of a city to see and experience.
There are some parts/places here in Sweden which truly stand out like Stockholm, Gotland and Skåne/Scania at large. But few consider Malmö to be one of them.
On the other hand, that part of Sweden, in general (Scania), has quite a lot on offer.
For instance, check out these beautiful private homes:

so sad but we all know the left has a history with Muslims.
“I poked around at ten or more places around the city. It looked VERY clean to me and I didn’t see any mosques.”
- I’m glad you could see that. But, on the other hand, as a son of Thule, I’m not comfortable with the large amounts of Muslim immigrants Sweden, Denmark and Norway let in daily, monthly and yearly.
All the same, I find it ignorant to portray Scandinavia or parts of it as being lost parts of Western Civilization.
We could still steer things right, but we are indeed on the wrong track.

“so sad but we all know the left has a history with Muslims.”
- True indeed.
Another trend in America (not Detroit, where even housing in the suburbs is relatively cheap thanks to a declining regional economy) is for the old, inner ring suburbs to be going into decline, while portions of the inner cities gentrify (thereby driving the poor to the close-in suburbs). You see this phenomenon in DC, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and other cities.
