It’s about Muslims from the Middle East, which include Arabs, many of whom are war refugees. They refuse to assimilate. They have done what the Swedish government has bent over backwards to prevent for many decades: they have assembled into large, semi-autonomous ethnic communities within their society.
The Swedish government provides, at taxpayer expense, Swedish language school which is 40 hours per week for five months. The curriculum not only covers language, but civics instruction, household money management, history and culture. This is to prevent ethnic ghettos like we have in the States—Liberty City and Calle Ocho in Miami, for instance—and the resultant black markets. Many Muslims refuse to go to these classes on the grounds that it is indoctrination counter to their culture. They have tied this up in the Swedish higher courts for years. No other immigrant group has ever done this before in the history of Swedish immmigration.
At the same time, the Swedish taxpayer goes to great expense to provide night classes in the Mid-East cultures, history and language—taught by immigrants from those cultures—in order that these people and their children will not forget their culture while assimilating into Swedish society. The islamic religion can be practiced freely in Sweden and today there are many mosques for religious observation and instruction.
After the mandatory 5 months schooling, the immigrant is sent to the State Employment Service where they are either found jobs somewhere in the country or, if their work skills are insufficient, they are sent to schools to attain skills, after they are academically and vocationally assessed. Because this requires from 35 to 40 hours of the immigrants time per week, all immigrants receive money for rent, food, transportation and other necessities in amounts much more adequate than the welfare received in the U.S—all at Swedish taxpayer expense..
Muslim communities have shut down schools in Sweden—denying both Muslim and Swedish children their classes—simply because pork products, a mainstay of the Swedish diet—is one of the many s chool lunch options which include foods appropriate to the Arab culture. The Swedes are very conscientous about their immigrants, much more than the US is.
Not all Muslim immigrants behave this way, of course. All immigrants interested in a permanent Swedish residency permit are offered these same services. It is mandatory by law to attend these classes. Many Muslim immigrants are greatful for these services as was I when I immigrated to Sweden. But there are enough resistant Muslims to be a real pain in the ass and many Muslim immigrants are cowed by their political and religious leaders to get involved in this recalcitrance.
It is a sad situation and the Swedish people who, throughout the twentieth century, have had a reputation of humanitarianism since the 1930’s, are now losing patience and voting in more nationalist right wing politicians than they have since becoming a social democracy in the 1920’s.
It is the opinion of a growning number of Swedish citizens that that a large number of Muslims have immigrated into Sweden specifically to disrupt another Western democracy.
It’s a bloody tragedy.
