Sweden, Gang Violence and a New Prime Minister

To force the countries of origin to readmit their unwanted citizens who end up in European countries illegally and who furthermore show no respect by committing crimes, why not use the threat of cutting off all aid financing including development loans from IMF, World Bank, European Bank, UN etc, etc. Frankly, this method could be used to tell those same countries to get their acts together and even to apply some much needed family planning. Developing countries near Europe are full of desperate mothers telling their troublesome and over-testosteronised sons to « go to Europe, they will look after you ».

I'll make it short as so many have written so much. Some interesting, some have said the right thing.
Here we go. If the new PM Magdelana Andersson wants to make a deep impression do this.
Pass new laws that:
1. Deport all those who have committed violent crimes back to their countries with families as long as they are not Swedish citizens.
2. Stop all refugee requests from those countries which are involved in violent crimes.
3. Make new laws encompassing integration and if unable and involved in criminal activities they will be deported back to their countries of origin.
4. Those who been granted Swedish citizenship over the last 6 years if convicted of criminal activities they will be stripped of their Swedish citizenship as well as all their families and deported back to their countries of origin or another country that will accept them.
We do this to New Zealanders and there is a plane once a month back to NZ with these deportees stamped never to return to Australia.
It works well and we reduce these criminal problems they cause in Australia.
Appropriate laws have to put in place quickly.
Good luck Mrs PM

It is sad that they don't want to get to the root of the problem. On the other hand, their per capita figures pale compared to cities like Chicago or Rochester, NY, where I live. Nobody is getting to the root here, either, but these roots are very deep and old.

Sweden was a social left country before unfettered Islamic immigration, and they had nearly no violent crime problems prior to that. There is only one thing that has changed and that is the import of Islamic "refugees."

You can thank Sweden's political leaders, especially the Social Democrats for their lax policies. More immigrants from Muslim countries keep arriving, and violent crime is exploding. Rapes, murders, bombings, you name it. Even the courts often refuse to deport convicted violent criminals. The media is silent as to who is committing all these crimes simply referring to "youths". And now, here come more Afghans.

Golly Vern, you don't think its because so many idiots in Sweden took the mark of the beast do you? IMHO.

I would suggest that readers not shake their heads and think what boobs the (ruling elite) Swedes are. They are just like our wicked ruling elite,. Their answer to dramatically increased crime, drugs, and violence must obviously be stopped by importing additional Morlocks from savage places by "flooring the accelerator ". This is madness. Diversity and Multicultualism are concepts fed to fools by a globalist oligarchy. Please ask the Japanese why they are such a civilisational failure because they protect their unique, and highly successful, culture.

Those who cite SWEDEN as an example of an economically successful socialist country should read this.

Cultural Marxism in practice?

A warning to Biden? It's exactly what the Dems want!

Islam is the problem; it is aided and abetted by left wing policies. It's that simple.

Sweden's situation should be a wake-up call for America, especially for the Biden administration: unlimited immigration is dangerous for democracy. Let's begin by strengthening out southern border.

Interesting how all of the comments I read here are by persons who think Sweden's leaders are out of touch with reason and reality! What proportion of the normal indigenous Swedes think the government is helping the country by bringing in more and more third-world individuals?

The Socialists-will never admit to a link between third world migrants & their urgent situation.
The country / the electorate has has chosen to give up their beautiful country to the third world, Islam & peoples with no idea of civilisation.
It has now gone too far & I doubt that any current politician has even the inkling of an idea, let a alone a policy, to step back from the the brink.

RIP Sweden & her culture.

I lived and worked in Sweden during the sixties. It was a very safe country with wonderful people. It is so sad to this beautiful country overrun with immigrants that have no ancestral or cultural connection whatsoever. It is hard to understand why these left- wing governments and weak leaders ever allowed this alien culture to enter the country and reside there. This unfortunately has happened throughout most of Europe and the UK. Anyone with common sense knows this state of affairs is not only destroying the safety of the indigenous population but the ultimate goal is to turn these countries into satellite Islamic nations and none of the western leaders seem incapable or have no intention of doing anything to stop it.

The reality is that those who have immigrated born outside of Sweden despite the possible difficulties of adaptation still have a kind of memory that living in Sweden is better that where they come from.
However, those born in Sweden of immigrated and perhaps integrated parents do not understand least know, the hardship their parents have experienced. They have a mix of spoiled children syndrome with desire and thirst of an ancestral culture (especially Muslims) which they unconsciously crave not understanding the emotional ramifications of those mixed frustrations.

Start by sending them all back, in other words Toughen Up ya Pansies.

"Vulnerable areas are a center for organized crime" is still just plain PC speak. The reality is organized crimes creates "vulnerable areas." The Swedes still can't call an ace an ace.

About time the politicians in Sweden started acting for the people of Sweden instead of appeasing the criminal element that they have allowed into the country and stroked them instead of hammering them.

A suggestion, for Sweden as well as the US: reinstate "banishment/exile" as a common punishment for crime, and every time you catch a "migrant" committing a serious crime, *banish* him/her -- to Mauritania, which is a Muslim country willing to take them in. In short, *throw the bums out* and don't let them come back.

"I plan to lift every stone to break segregation and push back the violent crime which is plaguing Sweden..."
The first step, as will eventually be seen even by Leftists, is to realize some cultures are not fit to be associated with. The behavior of native born Swedes is a far cry from gang rapists who come from the Middle East on the government dole. These people need to be segregated, and deported, and Sweden, as well as all prosperous nations, need to be much more selective in choosing who they let into the country.

Well they cannot blame it on Israel and the Jews.
It strange the haven't yet.
I have said it before "the Koran is a guide book for violent behaviour against non Muslims". Exchanging peoples that create beauty in literature, medicine, the arts and science for violent bomb makers is not a fair exchange. Sweden's future is dire.

Are certain minorities the problem?

Simple solution, it is called deportation, revoking citizenship, and sending parties back to focal points from which they came- including family members for minors. There is no standing for allowing and permitting such activities, if there are no consequences. There are obligations to protect the rest of the citizen-body, which includes migrants who sincerely wish to live as members of the nation, in which they have chosen to reside, and been allowed to become functioning members of society: do not all these people matter too?

God help Sweden. Will we look at Sweden and be warned? I'm not holding my breath. All those fit, healthy, young men crossing the English Channel each frighten the life out of me, but will the UK government do anything about it? Apparently not.

They are paying the price for their naivety. They believe that everybody behaves the same. That could not be further from the truth. And now they are learning this lesson.

The Swedes wanted to change the World!
Now the chickens are coming home to roost!

The Swedes are getting very artful with all the doublespeak to avoid addressing the real problems caused by the clash of cultures. Muslim immigrants do not assimilate well into other western cultures as evidenced around the world for hundreds of years.

No place in this article did I see the words "Islam" or "Muslim". Have fun with your problem Sweden, just don't talk about it.

Sweden is reaping what its virtue-signaling governance has sown. After years of ignoring the source of the problem, the inconvenient facts of unrestricted immigration are finally being recognized. Now we will see if a once proud people will stand up and deal decisively and effectively with the real issues.

Well, at the risk of seeming misinformed, I would venture to say that there is something here that they simply are unwilling to admit. Namely mass migration of members of a mostly peaceful religion, which sometimes is not very peaceful. But the politicians are afraid to criticize or stop.

From Muslim countries but that would be called Islamophobic by those liberals. I'm Liberophobic. With the erosion of Christianity crime will escalate. Poland is right about Brussels and the Evil Union. The same banking groups and families that financed and propagated Hitler.

Possibly more the result of overpopulation, gang violence has become the alternative to earning a living, why labor if you can steal and get high and blackmail governments.

Unfortunately Sweeden imported communities instead of individuals and it's very difficult to introduce a country culture in communities. Those communities will never feel included in sweedish society, they educate their children as they were educated depending on their background. If they came from violent areas the children will be educated in violence. The same is bound to happen all over Europe, particularly in France, and everywhere whenever migrants arrive packed in communities. Those migrants stick toghether for survival and feel more at home. Apparently the "bright" politicians do not understand migrants' social behavior

The gang members who are caught should not be put in prison paid for by the taxpayer but sent back to the countries they came from and serve their sentences there. The children used by the gangs need to be given a good education and taught to respect others lives and beliefs. No more Political correctness it's quite evident where that leads.

To be expected, that's only the beginning of New Normal. Many ppl knew that balkanisation would be inevitable. Wait for U.K. next, then Germany, France and so on and so on ... good luck! As Nobel prize Obama used to say "Nothing to do with my peace religion".

Well, can't blame guns for this mess!
Can't blame it on climate change either.
Sweden barely has the fortitude to confront its denial. Accepting, let alone admitting its multicultural policies are a failure is a positive first step. But creating and enforcing a solution also means a shift towards traditional law & order.
Don't hold your breath.

The only real solution for Sweden is to simply export the troublemakers to other places where public conveniences are not generally available. Then they might appreciate the good in the country they entered.
The birthrate for Sweden is around 1.846 which represents terminal cancer for the country, unless something is done about it.
It must be mandatory that all migrants particularly Muslim migrants entering the country should sign a form with PUNITIVE damages that they will
1. Do their utmost to be assimilated.
2. Regard religion as a personal matter of free will and choice.
3. Embrace equality of genders in all respects.
4. Regard and treat the discriminatory and violent doctrines and teachings of Sharia as inapplicable and ineffective for today.
5. Accept the equality of Muslims and non-Muslims.
6. Uphold the separation of state and religion.

When a pathology is declared taboo, it doesn't cease to exist. It continues behind a wall of silence and probably worsens so that the solution is consequently harder to find. Andersson says she wants to end segregation. What does that mean? She's going to force law-abiding Swedes to absorb criminals in their communities whether they agree or not? Naturally, politicians will never admit they made a huge mistake - and betrayed their primary duty towards Swedes - when they welcomed mass migration from countries that don't remotely share Swedish values. The violence is contained within certain parts of several cities which allows liberal Swedes to continue to indulge their consciences with impunity. If Andersson sent ethnic minorities to live in Stockholm's comfortable suburbs, liberals might change their minds. So long as they are insulated from reality, they don't have to.

Thanks Ms Bergman, beautiful Sweden under assault now for many years, needlessly.
The stubborn, suicidal resistance to admit the truth for decades by the Swedish Leftist leadership has had a devastating effect on the "vulnerable" areas, more accurately called "no go zones", a name not politically correct enough for the Swedish authorities to use.

The result of this denial? Parallel societies, where Police giving chase to criminals stop at the edge of the area and do not pursue into the heart of the area for safety concerns for themselves.
To me the Swedish leadership's denial is reprehensible, as an understatement.
Progressive politics is the politics of destruction of everything good, right and just.

And we're talking only violent crime here for the most part in this report. Not the daily offenses large and small against the Swedish citizens of all ages and both genders. Intimidation, theft, assaults, dominance crimes and crimes for sheer entertainment of the perps.

Lastly in my rant here, I'll mention the long, ongoing, abuse of women of all ages, very old to very young, and even young men or boys mostly in the males.
The Western world must wake up to this plague spreading across the globe and act decisively to stop it.

I've been too busy lately to keep up with the very good group of Gatestone writers but appreciate you all very much, the small group I've read at least.
Many thanks and best wishes for the new year.

Confirmed. I am living close to several of those "utanförskapsområden" ("areas where people who don't belong to Swedish society are living"), an euphemistic term coined to suggest that people living there are kept at a distance by ethnic Swedes rather than by there own choice.

It takes a proper idiot not to realise this is the outcome of multiculturalism in Western Nation States. These usually affluent states attracted an big avalanche of uneducated migrants intent on taking the benefits on offer but not willing to make contribution or efforts towards assimilation. Ghettos, no go areas, access to internet accelerated the inevitable outcome, which has been ignored since the motives of France and Germany are greater then the wellbeing of the Nation State they are trying to cancel. There is nothing to do but for Nations patriots to move to exit the EU and adjure their governments in the meantime to protect the indigenous population, changing the laws as needed and revoking permits to stay if called for.

Socialism is the cause for all this. The policy of tolerance for criminals is a proven bad thing. The same problem in the USA under Biden.
Admit it or not, some ethnicities are more likely to be criminal.

Swedens new PM Andersson has stated
"... I plan to lift every stone to break segregation and push back violent crime which is plaguing Sweden..."
Truly I hope her words match her actions.
Humbly suggest she starts reading numerous articles and letters on this topic by reading relevant backdated issues of Gatestone and corresponding letters. In addition it is important to access and analyse statistical data which was once deemed not suitable for public scrutiny. The greater the availability of good quality statistical data and the
greater the number of publicised views the greater the chance that a given problem can be solved.
Never in the past or present have i heard of a particular problem in physics, mathematics, politics, community issues etc being successfully solved by denying its existence!!
In a future Orwellian state this observation may not be true!!

Sweden and its elites chose this path to their goal of a multi-cultural and multi-racial utopia with no regard for native Swedes whatsoever. Only a few years there were ads on Swedish TV essentially telling Swedes that the "new Swedes" were BAME and that the native Swedes had to move over.

So, it begs the question as to whether anyone in Sweden understood what it would mean to commit cultural suicide?

Apparently these bullets are not marked 'to whom it may concern'? what areas in Sweden are safe still, and why haven't the politicians who invited created and ignored this situation been made to live in the immigrant areas too. or better, why haven't the immigrants with their parallel social structures been invited to live in the areas their political patrons inhabit?

Sweden brought this upon itself. Weak-minded and willing to tolerate the different cultural outlooks of many immigrants. Mostly Muslim backgrounds. The Swedes made a big show of how welcoming they are to "refugees" and politicians never once took into account the differences. They thought that everyone would blend in and the country would become a fairy dairy land where all could live in peace and harmony. Unfortunately, all the politicians have managed is to create poverty-stricken ghettos run by drugs gangs and firearms offences have rocketed. But this is just one country in Europe, many more are facing the very same problems. A clash of cultures, combined with the arrogance, naivety, and stupidity of politicians.

Does all this really comes as a surprise to anybody? Only to the blind or woke, which is the same. Welcome the law abiding but expel the enemy within.
