I think a lot of Swedes feel divided on this subject. The vast majority of for instance Syrians and Iraqis that are seeking refuge here are escaping essentially islamofascism. Beheadings, bombings, kidnappings, sectarian violence and what have you..

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.
