Perhaps you should move to northern Stockholm suburbs like Rinkeby and Husby where violent riots have become somewhat of a norm. Just a few days ago there was a five hour riot that included torching cars, throwing rocks at the police, looting shops and businesses, beating up journalists. The reason for riot? Police arrested a suspect on a drug charge. Same thing happened last August in the same part of Stockholm. Violent riots and 47 torched cars. Same suburb where more than 100 cars where torched during riots in May 2013.

Was there a single riot like that in Sweden that did not involve immigrants? How about honor killings?

Those are completely new categories of violence for Sweden.

> I saw nazis demonstrating in the local town center yesterday, which shocked me.

That's what you get when you bury your head in the sand and choose to ignore the reality.
