Those are givens, yet the truth is in Sweden most new immigrants are not wealthy, they come from regions that follow strict Islamic law, they come from areas where women's rights are far from the standards of Sweden and like with most visible minorities they find comfort in moving into areas with more people like them.

This is surprising to you? Chinatown, Italian neighborhoods, etc...

Let's see: Muslims don't work, they abuse the welfare state, they have a special rape problem, the more they repress women the happier they are, they don't try to adapt to new societies but instead try to change those societies (into something bad), and of course the ever-present threat of some hideous archaic version of Sharia law suddenly overriding the nation's own laws, leaving the rest of the society completely helpless - in short, they are not making an effort to become "good Swedes" but instead stubbornly hold on to their own backward ways.

Your words, interestingly enough.

What's really going on is that people don't like strange semitic languages pollutic public spaces, brown young men dating their daughters, alien smells from exotic cooking invading their appartments. They're always too loud, too visibly unswedish, unpredictable, inherently violent, they congregate together with suspicious ease, and maybe worst of all they actually believe in their religion instead of just sort of kind of believing like any modern civilized person. And maybe they just don't act grateful enough for getting to live in such a great country.

Those are certainly factors, I did mention racism is a part of this problem as well.

You can just jump on the racism card anyone criticizes a real issue of immigration and adapting into different cultures, but I don't see a black/white issue here, its much more complicated than just an issue of intolerance towards a minority.

The fact is there are big problems in not only Sweden but in most of Europe with immigration, simply because its a culture clash. But I guess you see a happy problem free Europe with gum drop lollipops and rainbow kisses when it comes to immigration, and that all who criticize the immigrants of Europe are ignorant racists.

See I can generalize too.

Btw where do you live?
