#4I am a Swede and can say that SVT is not a trustworthy source of news. Pretty much no swedish media is. SVT is a bit like Fox news but for the left and we have other news groups in Sweden that are like Fox news for the right. That is the state of the Swedish media.
SOURCE: 52% voted for the greens (left) and pretty much the overwhelming majority of what's left voted red (left) in a recent scientific poll.

#5These sentimental pieces do not help. At this point it's fair to say that europeans know the struggle of (legitimate) refugees.
The actual solution is to end the war in Syria, instead of waiting for the rest of the country to flee, and then boast about how humane we are.

And I am a Swede and would consider taking your comment with a huge grain of salt.

#7Why do refugees need to go to as far as Sweden to escape war? Why wouldn't they stop at the nearest EU country, or even closer to Syria?

#8My take from the article:
1. the "Syrian refugees" are actually very different people with different backgrounds.
2. most lived the very calm lives until they lost home and family in the war
3. they seem to be trying to adjust to the new life and a new culture. but can you really do that without a job and some Swedish friends?

Of course, as long as the media report world views that confirm your political opinion it's probably the best media outlet in the country. Am I right?

#10It is hard to understand the hard situation that this people has, and is still, living.
But when I read about how this guy says "As a child, I used to watch a cartoon on TV. The show featured the main character Nils and his friend Mårten the goose." I can feel totally related to him. It is just a TV cartoon, but it is also a treasured memory of Sweden that I had as a kid.
It is worth reading the stories of this people and thanks to this article it is easier to truly feel their humanity.
