“A total of 98,867 asylum seekers have been given permanent residency in Sweden since the height of the migrant crisis, out of 163,456 who applied for asylum that year.”
The cost of this is exorbitant, though Sweden tries to hide it.
The majority of refugees in Sweden are from Muslim countries, predominantly Syria, Iran and Iraq. Sweden welcomed unvetted masses of Muslim migrants and has descended farther and farther into chaos. No-go zones, gangs, bombings, and the threat of jihad have become features of daily life in Sweden. Years ago, Sweden’s minister for integration, Nyamko Sabuni, warned that Sweden had become a “ticking time bomb” of Islamic violence. In mid-January, Swedish Moderate Party leader Ulf Kristersson slammed the ruling Social Democrats, saying after a huge explosion rocked a Stockholm residential area that the government has lost control of the country.
Chiefly responsible for Sweden’s reckless immigration policy is Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, who “has denied a link between migration and gang activity, after deputy national police chief Mats Löfving claimed gangs move to Sweden just to engage in crime.”
“Peter Springare, 61, a veteran police officer in Orebro, once published a furious Facebook post saying violent crimes he was investigating were committed by immigrants from ‘Iraq, Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Somalia, Syria again, Somalia, unknown country, unknown country, Sweden.’”
“Swedish PM Rejects Police Chief’s Claim Gang Crime Linked to Migration,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, September 9, 2020:
Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven has denied a link between migration and gang activity, after deputy national police chief Mats Löfving claimed gangs move to Sweden just to engage in crime.
Over the weekend, Deputy Police Chief Löfving identified at least 40 criminal clan gangs across Sweden, which he said mostly operate in so-called “vulnerable” areas, often referred to as no-go zones.
“These clans come to Sweden solely with the purpose of organising and systematising crime. They work to create power, they have a great capacity for violence, and they want to make money. And they do that with drugs, violent crimes, and extortion,” Löfving said, according to Nyheter Idag.
When asked about the senior officer’s report during a press conference, Prime Minister Löfven acknowledged the country was facing problems with gang crime, but said: “We will act on what is wrong, what is criminal, regardless of background, regardless of the reason for it.”
“I don’t want to link crime to ethnicity and exactly where you come from; those are separate. But it does not detract from the fact that we have a common task to ensure that we crack down on gang crime,” he added.
Löfving also indicated that children were being trained to become criminals by gangs. That claim was confirmed by Rissa Seidou, a police officer in the Stockholm suburb of Rinkeby, one of Sweden’s most well-known no-go areas.
“It can start with just hanging out with the criminals, then they buy you some soda, then maybe you are asked to hold onto a bag that contains drugs. Later you have to keep watch for the police or you have to hide a weapon,” Ms Seidou told broadcaster SVT….
Kesselman says
The Swedes and especially the PM Stefan Löfven are in total denial mode. But now the country suffers the unbearable outcome of mass immigration from shithole countries. The first responders are of course the law-enforcers and the fire departments.—Sweden’s ambition to be the humanitarian super-power causes now an imminent danger to a civilized society. The only outcome insight will be armed resistance from small groups of ingenious Swedes picking out politicians and leading mozzies.
mortimer says
Prime Minister Stefan Löfven cannot admit that his party is fully responsible for the irresponsible program of bringing in enemies who hate Western civilization. The only result of such migration can be civilizational war.
JIHAD IS CIVILIZATIONAL WAR.

Translation: “Socialists’ ambition to enable a barbarian super-power.”

You can put it that way.
Rufolino says
In 20 years Sweden, in its historical identity, will nolonger exist. The Left, and political correctness will have killed it. With a little help from Islam.
James Lincoln says
Rufolino,
20 years from now the then “20 somethings” will see old pictures and newsreels of Sweden and will ask what happened…
lehi48 says
I would ask Prime Minister Stefan Löfven what PM or Party, certainly not a Leader cedes authority and their Sovereign territory to an immigrant group, who can’t be vetted, who demand people around them live by Sharia even if they’re not Muslim, mete out punishment to those who don’t follow their rules, intimidate the Police and Fire Departments to the point that they are dysfunctional in those areas, and frankly, Mr. Lofven, you haven’t a clue what these people are really doing in your country! Good luck. Just wait for the subsequent waves of Jizrah arrive to reinforce the the established ones. What will become of the curricula in your schools, worship in place of worship other than the Mosque, what will the crime rate be with a large sector of the population refusing to work? Rather than flat out discounting what is told to you why aren’t you setting up a Blue Ribbon Committee of neutral experts? It’s only your Country and you’re the PM
RichardL says
he will be reelected just like Mehrkill in Germany. The only difference between the countries will be that the Sweden Democrats will be allowed to run while the AfD will be forbidden. In Germany, the head of the FBI was fired, in Sweden the head of police is still in power.
mortimer says
The Swedish police who interview, interrogate and snoop on these gangsters know their origin, their IQ, their education, their shoe size, and all the thoughts in their heads.
The Swedish police and prison psychologists are the only people in Sweden who have a grasp of the psychopathy that these criminals have imbibed from Islamic supremacist thought.
I too know these criminals and have spent time studying them up close.
All Swedes should read the following study of Muslims in Danish jails by Danish psychologist Nicolai Sennels:

Sylvia Drummond says
Mortimer – and yet the Prime Minister chooses to insult the experienced and brave chief of police who has brought this matter to the fore. In smooth language the PM is calling him a liar and expecting the population to continue to endure crime on a scale that they are unaccustomed to. They say that a country gets the leaders it deserves and in Sweden’s case, perhaps this is true.

That looks like an important read, Mortimer. There is an abundance of Muslims in jails and prisons and the culture there says a lot about the hellish determination of these people.
gravenimage says
Yes–Sennels is an important source–and a Jihad Watch contributor.
J Morgan says
These Muslims are Hellishly determined. The Devil is very busy.
RichardL says
Löfven has corrected course today: he said there is a link between high immigration and violence. The integration cannot keep up with the numbers to be integrated. It is rubbish, of course, but it sounds quite different, doesn’t it. His head of NOA said that 40 Muslim families have reached a stage where they can seriously undermine the functioning of the whole state. 40 families!

Sweden: Prime Minister rejects police chief’s claim that gang crime is related to mass migration
………….
More willful denial. Sweden used to be one of the safest nations in the world–no longer.
Westman says
Yes, pat that young islamic aligator and give it food and shelter. It won’t change its diet to include Swedes, right?
OLD GUY says
Nothing like letting the enemy into your house. I’ll bet that Sweden leadership thought it would be nothing but love and appreciation from these muslim/islamic people from Iraq, Somalia, Syria and Afghanistan.
Sweden will pay a huge price for allowing this migration/invasion of their country.
The free world needs to take a hard look at the open border idea. Allowing enemies of your society to just walk into your country or home is not a great idea.
