“What I want to avoid and what we should be extremely careful about is not to connect crime automatically to skin colour or religion or anything else,” Löfven said.
Most Hindus are also “brown,” and most persecuted Christians worldwide are also brown or black, so clearly, pointing out the truth about mass Muslim migration has nothing necessarily to do with skin color or racial prejudice. Löfven, like other globalists, is evading the truth in order to avoid being called “racist” and/or “Islamophobic.” He and his colleagues do this at great cost to freedom, human rights, and the rule of law.
Most troubling is how easily Löfven can go from complete denial to admitting that the problem with Muslim migration is “crystal clear.” But he did it under pressure from his political rivals. Just days ago, Löfven flatly denied any link “between migration and gang activity, after deputy national police chief Mats Löfving claimed gangs move to Sweden just to engage in crime,” as we pointed out on Jihad Watch.

“Swedish PM U-Turns, Admits Connection Between Migration and Crime,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, September 12, 2020:
Prime Minister Stefan Löfven has U-turned and admitted that there is a link between migration and Sweden’s rising levels of violent crime.
The Social Democrat leader admitted that there is a connection between crime and migration during a debate in the Swedish Riksdag on Wednesday.
Mr Löfven said: “With a large migration, where we cannot cope with integration, then there is also a greater risk of the kind of problems that we see. It’s crystal clear.”
The prime minister’s statement came in response to questions posed by populist Sweden Democrats (SD) leader Jimmie Åkesson, who slammed the Swedish leader for refusing to admit any connection between migration and crime as recently as earlier this week, Nyheter Idag reports.
“What I want to avoid and what we should be extremely careful about is not to connect crime automatically to skin colour or religion or anything else,” Löfven added.
Åkesson went on to state that his argument was regarding immigration policy and its link to crime, not skin colour or religion. The populist leader said: “I want to hear Stefan Löfven take responsibility and say ‘I was wrong’.”
The admission by Löfven comes after deputy national police chief Mats Löfving sounded the alarm last weekend over the growth and influence of migration-background clan gangs across Sweden.
“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 had said….

I wonder how comfortable lofven feels on that fence?

Paris: already convicted of sexual assault on a vulnerable person, Mohamed A. “professional, sympathetic and conscientious” tried for rape

France specifically bans any and all mention of race, ethnicity, or religion in statistics, only foreign-born immigrants can be differentiated. This is problematic since virtually all Muslim immigrants have French citizenship, so the names of the perpetrators are often the only thing to go by

“Prime Minister Stefan Löfven has U-turned and admitted that there is a link between migration and Sweden’s rising levels of violent crime.”
Wow, he’s perceptive!!
Rod says
In fact, Mr Lofven referred to “problems”.
The “violent” and the “crime” were inventions by your home-grown Islamophobic propagandist.
Are you people happy to be lied to? Or don’t you notice? Doesn’t that mean you’re stupid?
I’d be more interested in a comparison between the past life of Sweden’s leader, and the serial sexual assault history of the leader of the USA. That’s what I’d call “problems”, or even “crime”.
Giacomo Latta says
stupid? Hey, careful with the abuse, hypocritical Antifaman.
Giacomo Latta says
As for ”serial sexual assaults” please cite the statistics of convictions of Donald Trump and those of migrants to Sweden. Zero versus pick-a-number of greater than one a day. That’s what I’d call ”problems”, or even ”crime”.

with politicans such as stefan lofven there is no doubt why Sweden is going third world. The West is full of this style leadership.

Defiantly is too late !!, Sweden is done totally, next is Germany and France , England is following and Italy , Holland, this tragedy for Europeans, generations to come ..

According to the feature article:
“Mr Löfven said: “With a large migration, where we cannot cope with integration, then there is also a greater risk of the kind of problems that we see. It’s crystal clear.””
I’ve got news for you, Mr Löfven.
You *could* cope with integration / assimilation – if the migrants wanted to integrate / assimilate.
Muslim migrants do *not* want to integrate / assimilate, ergo, no-go zones, etc.
Wake up and smell the Swedish meatballs – before they all become halal…

Westman says
Exactly right.
And there is a non-color, non-ethnic way to identify the groups that will cause trouble – they don’t pick up the litter in their neighborhoods though it costs them nothing; yet will scream that they are victims of poverty, other citizens, and government.
Christopher Watson says
I haven’t been to an IKEA for about 6 years. Don’t tell me they sell halal meatballs!
mortimer says
Reality has come crashing in for even the most adamantly pig-headed Swede.
Muslim criminals are a disproportionate part of the criminals in Sweden.
Leftards should now stop denying to themselves (and to the electorate) the truth that Muslims have a doctrine of hatred directed from Muslims against the dirty kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’. Swedish Leftards should stop lying about the CIVILIZATIONAL WAR that Islam is waging against Sweden, against Swedish culture, against the Swedish constitution, against Swedes themselves.
The Swedish Leftards created a system in which it is hard for them to lose the political mandate for governing and in which the criticism of the government is easier to censor.
Unopposed by a real, vociferous opposition, the Swedish Leftards have felt free to wreck the country.

It’s either Löfven had an epiphany or the penny finally dropped.

I’m always glad to read about these slow learners finally waking up and seeing things as they are. It is slow progress, but it is at least some progress in the right direction. Unfortunately, there are still so many slow learners and sleepwalkers in our societies who haven’t yet woken up.

(Only slightly) off topic, but my attention was grabbed by this article. https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/world/on-lebanon-s-shores-the-poor-board-deadly-dinghies/ar-BB197tMf?ocid=spartan-ntp-feeds, all about poverty in Muslim dominated Lebanon. We’re told that Muslims in Lebanon are moaning about how terrible things are in Lebanon, and many are determined to pay people smugglers to get out of the place, in search of a better life. ‘He fled Lebanon because of the grinding poverty, to try to find us some money,’ wailed one lady, whose husband disappeared at sea, in search of ‘a better life.’ My understanding is that Lebanon was once majority Christian. It was then a prosperous and thriving country. Apparently Beirut was once hailed as ‘The Paris of the Middle East.’ However, many years of civil war later, Lebanon is now apparently Muslim dominated. I feel for the agony of the Muslims interviewed, as they struggle to feed their families on a pittance, but really? Aren’t they living under the Islamic system that so many of them fought for? Are they really totally incapable of looking at Islam objectively, and asking now why has Islam delivered only poverty and misery to its followers in Lebanon. And why is it the responsibility of an infidel, kaffur country to look after them and their families? One thing particularly struck me, looking at the photographs of two Lebanese Muslim men, both moaning about how they couldn’t afford to feed their families. Both men were puffing on cigarettes. If both their families are starving, how come they can both afford to smoke?

If these Mohammedans were really so poverty-stricken, they would not be able to pay smugglers thousands of dollars to get them into Europe. And yes–most of these “poor migrants” have the latest stylish clothes, athletic shoes, and cell phones.

Prabhakar R Shetty says
Democracies are facing a strategic relentless and cruel invasion in the form of immigrants. They know how to screw you completely with your own laws and get away with murder, rape and violence. Call it out and withdraw their voting rights. Suddenly the politicians will sing a different tune. Act swiftly because the problem will escalate fast. Of course they will claim to be VICTIMS .

What Mr Lofven said:
“With a large migration, where we cannot cope with integration, then there is also a greater risk of the kind of problems that we see. It’s crystal clear.”
What CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS alleges he said:
Löfven can go from complete denial to admitting that the problem with Muslim migration is “crystal clear.”
I think it would be obvious to most people that this is a blatant lie. In fact, Mr Lofven has not used the term “Muslim” at all.
But jihadwatchers are apparently dense enough to accept such garbage as rational commentary on current affairs.
Can’t you see that any self-respecting journalist guilty of such nonsense would find themself out of a job immediately?
Can’t you see that this sort of dishonesty served up to you is insulting to your intelligence?
Giacomo Latta says
Antifaman,
Sorry I missed your comment on the previous thread about Ali striking a random Swedish woman and pushing her to the ground.
So if, in terms of religion, who do you think is part and parcel of the mass migration to Sweden, assuming you believe that exists? All those bloody Presbyterians coming in fro Scotland? All of those bloody Zen Buddhists coming in from Japan? A few simple subtractions from the world of possibilities quickly leaves you with Islam. Anyone with an IQ of yours + 1 would be able to look at the countries of origin (Syria, Afghanistan, Morocco, Tunisia and the like) then arrive at the conclusion that the overriding ”religion” is Islam. Are you trying to claim that there might be one non-muslim amid the trouble-makers and that therefore a false claim is being made? I suggest you return to the liberal university of your choice and take a course in Philosophy or Computer Science specializing in logic. Clearly logic has never struck you in the head and pushed you to the ground.
Rod says
Sorry Giacomo, abuse is no better a debating technique than it was the last time you tried it. But don’t give up – your fellow jihadwatchers are sure to be impressed.
Have you tried applying your logistical skills to the US homicide statistics? Any numerate Swede would be happy to assist. Like most Europeans, he’ll be greatly amused at the idea of Americans worried about violent crime in Sweden.
Giacomo Latta says
What abuse? I’m still looking for words in my reply that called you a self-deceived simpleton or other phrases that are currently coming to mind. So go ahead and cite the specific word.
Go ahead and cite accurately the homicide statistics of the US and Sweden. Just a vague reference to them on your part tells no one of anything other than you imply that homicide statistics would make the US look bad. A ”debater” such as you who offers nothing but unsubstantiated conjecture is third-rate at best.

Most immigration into Sweden right now is Muslim. The idea that Löfven’s comments had nothing to do with Muslims is disingenuous–but when would we expect anything else from “Rod” here?
James Lincoln says
gravenimage says,
“Most immigration into Sweden right now is Muslim.”
100% correct. Unfortunately, Löfven’s does not like to identify the immigrants as muslim, even though the overwhelming majority of them are…
gravenimage says
Unfortunately true, James.
Rod says
Isn’t it “unfortunate” that Lofven isn’t given to overtly racist, bigoted, divisive language. How could he ever have been so respected as to become the PM?
Unlike the sainted Donald!
OLD GUY says
The islamic/muslim migration invasion will definitely bring crime and hate to your neighborhood.
You don’t have to look far to see what happens when you bring these migrants into our cities.
They destroy the neighborhood, business close, crime levels go through the roof, trash and garbage cover the streets property values go down and the safety of local citizens becomes serious.
Where is the logic in helping people who hate you and won’t become part of your society at the expense of your citizens?

Sweden’s Prime Minister makes sudden U-turn, admits connection between mass migration and crime
……………………
Will this admission lead to any real action? I hope so, but it is not clear.
Christopher Watson says
There will be no change whatsoever. Sweden’s PM will continue to deny it till the day he dies. Left-wingers always blame the right, the Church, their own workers, Father Christmas (if he’s available). Sweden will become a moslem state within 2 decades. Many Swedes can escape to their country houses. But not all Swedes are wealthy. Swedes with modest incomes will suffer abuse and constant verbal attacks.
OLD GUY says
The wealthy Swedes may not escape to their country homes for long either. Most dictatorships take it from the top also. Once they are bleed dry of their wealth they will be enslaved or murdered if they can’t escape the country.
