Newfound diversity! That's an amazing phrase! Muslim men raping young blonde girls is progress?

Dunno, man. My family lives in Scandinavia, most of my childhood friends, I travel there once per year, I read Norwegian, Danish and Swedish without a problem, I follow television from that part of the world. I think I may have a clearer view than stateside alarmists - particularly as I've seen them lie again and again.

Not a slow down, not a "temporary ban" a la Trump.... but a complete END.


Predictably, the leaders of Europe are heading further and further to the left, however, doubling down on the commitment to putting the citizens of the Middle East and North Africa ahead of the desires of the citizenry.


The results of that are being seen across Europe, as right wing parties (the only ones willing to talk about the issue) are making steady gains and coming dangerously close to power with each election. To the point where centrists and leftists have to console themselves with, for example, the fact that far-right parties ONLY come in second place in an election.

In that case we need to reduce our immigration. There is no way in hell Americans should have to work longer to support people who aren't Americans.

How about next time you go back to the land of Volvo, find out what rights Swedes have. Take a look at their Constitution.

Can one use deadly force against an attacker? What kind of handguns do most Swedes own? What level of health care can one get with a few weeks notice. Whilst employed and in retirement.

Let us know.

And yet, the Sweden Democrats have traded first place in the polls for the past couple of years. Surely the people of Sweden (except your "friends" who are probably like-minded multi-culturalists like yourself) have their finger on the pulse of something that you're missing.



Sweden has also moved to restrict the reporting of ethnic background of criminals. Sweden took in the equivalent of 2% of its entire population in just one year from cultures that are absolutely and diametrically opposite of everything Sweden purports to stand for.

There are grenade attacks in Malmo. Reports of police being unable to enter certain neighborhoods. Article after article of absurd results in criminal cases largely involving unprecedented sex and gang rape attacks of women by "southern" men......


"Stateside alarmists" are not subject to the self-imposed censorship from the land that LITERALLY is responsible for the phenomena known as "Stockholm Syndrome."

Posting "by omission", as well?

You're certainly entitled to your point of view.

Sweden has been destroying its culture since the 70's through destructive immigration policy, bringing in people who have no intention of becoming Swedes or assimilating. These are mostly Muslims from the middle east and north Africa. At this rate in a few generations, Swedes will be a minority in their own country.

By the way, Islam is a religion, not a race.
Not true at all
Sweden immigration
45% Europe (95%+ non-islamic)
20% Other (95%+ non Islamic)
30% Islamic (80% as some countries under here have millions of non Muslims and are just majority Islamic)
5% for variation.
