It's not true that Muslim immigrants are not integrating with modern technologically-literate Sweden. Many are making increasingly sophisticated use of social media: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/sweden-facebook-gang...

Re: Facts about migration and crime in Sweden
#62According to the official statistics on The Swedish Crime Survey, the sexual violence rate in Sweden remained about the same between 2005 and 2014. The refugee crisis began around 2014, and since then, the rates for sexual violence went down in 2015[1] something you never see mentioned on certain parts of the internet. 2016 saw an increase in crimes, but still less than pre-immigration levels in 2014. Also the Swedis…

Re: Facts about migration and crime in Sweden
#63It's a bit simplistic to speak only about migrants. In the case of Islamic terrorism, I've heard it commented that recruits come from the children of migrants rather than the migrants themselves. This certainly seemed to borne out by the London 7/7 bombers and the Charlie Hebdo attackers to name two cases. Prison populations in western countries also seem to have disproportionate numbers of ethnic minorities. I also…
... authorities commonly seem to want to accentuate the positive and sweep any negativity under the rug.
Like the Trump administration, and the Hungarian government... No, wait, they do the exact opposite. I guess all authorities are not the same after all? And it's not just black and white either. Governments around the world consist of people with incredibly different backgrounds and political agendas. There is no single "authorities".
It is a common refrain these days that governments are trying to hide the facts to advance some kind of shadowy globalist agenda. It's good to be critical, but you need to be equally critical of sources that claim to be telling you the real truth.
Your comment contains three claims, and they're all either "I heard" or "seem to have". We should try to do better.

#64This Vice reporter has an excellent tweetstorm that covers the inaccuracies of both the left and the right regards to Sweden.
It starts here. I've scraped it with some regexs:

Thread: Both left and right are talking a lot of nonsense about the situation in #Malmo. I was there four weeks ago, reporting on the fatal shooting of 16-year-old Ahmed Obaid, an Iraqi-Swede immigrant with a bright future ahead of him. Here’s some actual info for anyone not interested in the shrieking leftist eye covering or racist right wing exaggeration that is surrounding #Malmo atm.
Ahmed (police, family & gang members all agree he was innocent & not affiliated with gangs) was one of three murders in Malmo in Jan 2017. In that month, there were 13 shootings, a small IED explosion and a hand grenade thrown into the lobby of a police station. Statistically this was a sharp increase in violence.
People pretending there's no problem with gang violence in #Malmo need to get real. The problems in #Malmo stem from many things. One big issue is how the Swedish government seems to have pushed its large migrant population in #Malmo into a corner and tried to forget about them.
This, coupled with the lack of employment and easy access to weapons across from Denmark and from the Balkans, has of course created a problem. The unemployment rate for foreign-born men between 16 and 64 in #Malmo is 30%. That compares with 8% nationally. (despite what the Trump lot with their half mast Pepe hard-ons and Wotsit fingers might claim).
A lack of skilled work, discrimination, housing issues, failed assimilation and ridiculously lenient laws toward violence (sorry lefties) all plays a role in the very real problems Malmo is facing. There’s also a huge lack of support for the police in #Malmo from the Swedish government. They don’t have enough officers, are under resourced & with Sweden's laws their power to lock up criminals they do catch, is diminished.
Police in #Malmo seized ~600 weapons in 2016. Some semi-auto rifles & hand grenades. From ’16 there’re also 13 currently unsolved murders. Whilst reporting in #Malmo, I spoke to the family of Ahmed Obaid, a gangster parading around the streets in a bullet proof vest and with a policeman about all of this. They all agreed, that yes, there IS a big problem in #Malmo and it is being largely ignored.
Unfortunately it’s now blown up (excuse the pun) in a way that isn’t currently shedding light on anything of substance. You have the right wing pretending there are no go zones (there’s aren’t, that’s bullshit), non-stop rape and daily explosions, and you have the left who’re pretending it’s all milk, honey and racist propaganda. Ignoring the situation in #Malmo doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, and exaggerating why doesn’t make it so.
TL;DR - #Malmo has a problem with gang related violence, but this cannot be blamed entirely on immigrants, it also cannot be ignored.

This political correctness can have a serious backswing when people go to vote. As we have seen in US, and as we will see in Europe.
I understand that one motivation behind not providing crime breakdowns by ethnicity is to avoid providing information that might be used without context to justify hate.
But it is also a little racist to try to hide the problem, as if criminality is inherent to the ethnicity and cannot be solved, so may as well be ignored.

#67A Swedish Police Officer ranted on Facebook about crime and migration in Sweden a few weeks ago.

Translation: I'm so fucking tired. What I will write here below, is not politically correct. But I don't care. What I'm going to promote you all taxpayers is prohibited to peddle for us state employees. That tends to drive in a non-career and non-individual pay. Even though it's true. I don't care about all of this, will soon still retire after 47 years in this activity. I will now and every week to explain in detail what for employing me as investigators / investigator on coarse mcu police in örebro. It's not going to be good with the opinion or other leftist kriminologers perception in the general debate.
Our pensioners is on its knees, the school's a mess, healthcare is an inferno, the police have totalhavererat etc etc. We all know why but no one dare or wants to peddle the reason, due to the fact that Sweden always lived on the myth of prudes ultimate society who have osinnliga resources to be at the forefront when it comes to be the only politically correct option in a dysfunctional world that beats Knot on their own by destructive behavior in different name of. Here we go; this I've handled Monday-Friday this week: rape, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, rape-assault and rape, extortion, blackmail, off of, assault, violence against police, threats to police, drug crime, drugs, crime, felony, attempted murder, Rape again, extortion again and ill-treatment.
Suspected perpetrators; Ali Mohammed, mahmod, Mohammed, Mohammed Ali, again, again, again Christopher... what is it true. Yes a Swedish name snuck on the outskirts of a drug crime, Mohammed, Mahmod Ali, again and again.
Countries representing the weekly all crimes: Iraq, Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Somalia, Syria again, Somalia, unknown, unknown country, Sweden. Half of the suspects, we can't be sure because they don't have any valid papers. Which in itself usually means that they're lying about your nationality and identity.
Now we're talking just örebro municipality. And these crimes occupies our utredningsförmåga to 100 %.
So it looks here and has been like for the past 10-15 years.
Return next Friday with a statement for the past week 🇸🇪

#68The level of government level censorship in Sweden is concerning. Maybe worries over negative reaction in the native population are used to justify hiding crime statistics, but I think it will lead to a violent backlash eventually. It's shocking to me that "grenade attacks" have virtually become an every day occurrence. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_grenade_attacks_in_S... Refugee centers have already been…

CTRL+F "device" and you'll find 16 occurrences.
These are IEDs. This is terrorism. Where did they learn to make them?

It's totally irrelevant that the crimes has decreased. The point is that a majority of all violence and sexual crimes is performed by immigrants (as confirmed by Sweden's most famous crime professor GW a couple of days ago).
Why are you so afraid to see that immigrants are over represented in this category of crimes?
