This was obvious from the start just looking at their refugee numbers and the fact that they didn't have enough experience with immigration.

This whole thing is a bit of a mindfuck for me because I can't find any logical reason for what Sweden has done. I think the government has actually acted out of pure humanity and accepted so many refugees without thinking through any of it and now they're paying the price.

Compare that with Canada who picks and chooses their immigrants and has a 100-year outlook on the future of their demography.

I hope you don't think they're that stupid. nobody is, they did it and they keep doing it to make more "liberal Muslims", who are just like most Christians today, atheists who don't care really about anything related to the religion itself, they just keep repeating their prayers because they find peace in it, not because they care about God or his commandments or going to heaven.


One could argue from Finnish immigrant population in Sweden that they had experience with immigration. But it was entirely different type of immigration. Skilled trained workers with outside language near same ethnicity and similar cultural background.

It is just that later groups were different. Not that certain ones like Vietnamese haven't integrated well enough without too many issues.
