| Sweden will have a particularly tough time in coming years. That time is already here, let's hope a change of course can be made soon. Sweden's irresponsibility and malfeasance should really be of concern to the whole world, as in some ways the country has become like Afghanistan under Taliban rule, in the providing of a safe-haven for and cultivation of terrorists. (yes, that sounds crazy, and it is, but it is the conclusion one must draw unfortunately) Sweden has a revolving door for terrorists. Literal terrorists are moving in and out of the country unchecked. It is absolutely insane. An in addition to that, Sweden has become a hugely fertile breeding ground for ISIS fighters. http://foreignpolicy.com/2015/02/23/from_the_welfare_state_t... ---------- ...we found links to terrorism or intelligence threats, which we judged that the person should not be granted asylum in Sweden. Then it is up to the Immigration Bureau to weigh that risk against the right to asylum. Many remain in the country,” Sjöö remarked.
Excuse me? Oh yes. In this country, even an internationally red-flagged terrorist can be granted asylum. By the bizarre Swedish logic, a person at risk of “inhumane” treatment or death sentence in his home country qualifies for protection. And as for terrorists? Open doors and open hearts. Here’s an article from neighboring Denmark(http://www.dagens.dk/udland/mist%C3%A6nkte-terrorister-f%C3%...) where they, for good reason, express grave concern over the extreme naivitee of Swedish immigration policy. At least 20 internationally known terrorists were granted asylum in Sweden in 2014 alone, which is a problem for Denmark too considering its capital Copenhagen being only 20 minutes away from Malmö, one of the immigrant hotbeds.
The capital of European ISIS recruitment remains Gothenburg, however. Sweden’s second largest town produces more ISIS-fighters than the entire United States. This baffling statement sounds made up, but it it’s not.(http://swedenreport.org/2015/02/04/more-isis-fighters-from-o...) “A pantry full of cannon fodder for ISIS”(http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article20427940.ab) is the headline of this remarkably frank (by Swedish standards) article about the muslim-dominated no-go zones around Gothenburg. The headline is an actual quote by one of the residents of the area. I encourage you to use the translate-feature in your browser and read the article in its entirety for a chilling insight into the total meltdown of societal control of these areas. ---------- ^ http://swedenreport.org/2015/03/23/sweden-facing-systemic-co... http://swedenreport.org/2015/05/18/police-yes-there-are-no-g... There does appear to be some growing sanity in the electorate though. http://www.thelocal.se/20150820/swedens-nationalists-lead-po... |
Put yourself in that situation for a second. I really resent Islam as a religion because its at odds with our culture and values, but I'm willing to let go of that resentment in the hopes of helping some of these people. And hopefully the 2nd or 3rd generation of these immigrants will be completely absorbed and integrated into Swedish way of life. If you escape that kind of situation, at the ending of the day, a normal person would feel some gratitude to the country that took them in.
Either way, this policy is a stark contrast with what the utopian US "freedom" policy has done for that region, but of course, it not without its rough edges.
