Asylum seekers are now 2-3% is Swedens population. If the US did the same thing that would mean 10 million people. (Israel, next door, has taken in zero)
The people coming in now are completely different from Balkan refugees, Persians and Lebanese. In the case of the Balkan refugees, they were European. And the Persians were fleeing from an Islamic theocracy - they didn't share their values. Ironically, it was a women of Christian Lebanese descent who was murdered by these new arrivals:

Bildt mentions Spotify and Minecraft, but the new arrivals are making a different use of modern technology: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/sweden-facebook-gang-rape-live-streamed-men-court-a7548371.html http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/sweden-facebook-gang...
Carl Bildt has his head in the sand. Look at these most-wanted pictures from Sweden and Denmark:

Try not to notice any patterns, since that would be crimethink.
- tobltobs 10y agoWhat pattern special to Sweden or Denmark do you see in your Interpol links?

- BrandoElFollito 10y agoI do not believe they are specific to these countries. I had a look at France (where I am from) and that are no Jean-Marc Duponts. This is a metric like others, with its shortcomings but it has its use. I would be honestly delighted to see a competitive one about, say, volunteering in pediatric hospitals showing that there are no Jean-Marcs but rather plenty of Mohameds. The positive metrics, so to speak. One which is neutral (do not volunteering in the streets for instance whet you need to be "alike" in order to be accepted) but something truly showing integration. I do volunteer work and, sadly, do not see such trend.
- redsummer 10y agoMono-ethnic modern states have high levels of altruism and 'civil society' - Japan, Finland etc. Multi-cultural societies don't since there is less trust and more us-vs-them mentality.
- leereeves 10y agoWhile the pattern is obvious, it's also easily explained. It's easier for foreigners (particularly those from outside the EU) to flee the country and thus be sought by Interpol.
- fensipens 10y agoThe new ones are always "completely different" from the old ones.. until someone digs up old articles that say the same thing about the old ones.
