94% of Gang Members in Sweden Are Immigrants: Time to Face the Truth About Immigration and Crime - "The fact that 94% of the gang criminals in Sweden who are part of organized crime are immigrants or children of immigrants is quite the issue. However, in spite of the evidence, the Swedish government continues to double down on the same immigration policies that have been proven to fail."

PeterSweden on X - "Sweden is lost.
▪️A taxi driver from Eritrea is in court for r*ping a customer. Authorities don't want him deported as he "risks inhumane" treatment. ▪
️An Eritrean man avoided deportation after r*ping a 16 year old girl because the attack didn't "last long enough" according to the Swedish court.
UNBELIEVABLE."

PeterSweden on X - "Can't make this up.  The Swedish Green Party is campaigning to INCREASE migration.  They outright say that Sweden needs more people to pay tax to uphold the welfare state.  And guess what?  They are doing good in the polls and look likely to be part of the next government.  So it looks like the people in Sweden wants to open the borders."

Visegrád 24 on X - "BREAKING: Swedish police officially confirms that their colleague was beaten to death at the World Cup fan zone in Copenhagen. He was a father of 2 young girls The African migrant who attacked him is a repeat offender who had already been sentenced for previous violent assaults"

Visegrád 24 on X - "BREAKING:  More info has been released about the killing of the Swedish football support and off-duty policeman Christian Zedig who was attacked by an African migrant while watching Norway-Ivory Coast at a fan zone in Copenhagen. The African migrant was:
- Charged with rape in 2013
- Sentenced to 7 years for attempted murder in 2017
- Charged with assault in April 2026
Today’s court hearing also revealed that Christian is being prepared for organ donation and that security guards had detained several of the African attackers but that they had been let go minutes later.  Why do we let violent migrants remain in our countries? Why isn’t every foreign criminal deported?"

Sweden's immigration taboo - "In 2021, a study was published with the goal of giving a broad characterization of rape offenders in Sweden (Khoshnood et al., 2021). But this study received some unwanted and unexpected attention. What was the issue? The researchers had found that the majority of rape convicts had immigrant background (either first- or second-generation). A female graduate student at the University of Gothenburg then filed a complaint to the Swedish government’s ethics review appeals board (“Önep”)... While the authors had an ethics permit to handle and analyze the data, the complaint alleged that they did not have a permit to analyze specifically the hypothesis regarding immigrants. This resulted in a lengthy investigation of the authors. To be clear, the goal of the study was not specifically to inquire into the perpetrators’ national backgrounds. Instead, the aim was to provide a broad characterization of rape offenders in Sweden. To do this they analyzed a large set of descriptive variables: year of birth, sex, educational attainment, socioeconomic status, number of prior convictions, type of prior convictions, psychiatric diagnoses, resilience, standardized test performance, school achievement, and, finally, country of birth. Immigrant status was but one of many variables; one they incidentally found had significance. Önep (the ethics review appeals board) alleged that the authors lacked ethics approval to handle the “sensitive personal data” in the paper (Albinsson, 2021). Importantly, in this context, “sensitive data” should not be understood in the usual sense of personally identifiable information (PII). Of course, individuals may not be identifiable, and their anonymity should be secured. But, since their analyses were all of aggregate-level trends, personal identifiability was of no concern. Instead, “sensitive” in this context is more properly understood in the sense of the topic and results being politically sensitive. Indeed, the investigation documents show that one of the critiques of the researchers was that they had insufficiently explained how their research would “reduce exclusion and improve integration” of immigrants. The case dragged on for a long time. But, according to the most recent news in 2023, the chief prosecutor decided to close the preliminary investigation. The authors were not found guilty of anything. Yet lack of guilt is only a partial consolation. The authors had been pulled into a stressful case that dragged on for years. The authors recently published a new study, similar to their prior research of rape offenders. In this study, they provided a characterization of firearm-related homicide offenders (Khoshnood et al., 2024). They analyzed the exact same explanatory variables as previously, except for one noteworthy difference: immigrant status was not considered. There is no mention of why immigrant status was excluded as a descriptive variable in this later study. They used the same register data, so it was certainly available in the data. We can only speculate why. Perhaps it was an editorial decision by the publication, or—more likely I think—the authors were simply not willing to face further social backlash, or risk their precarious academic positions as they are being watched with more attentive eyes. While immigration is widely considered a controversial subject, how countries have responded varies markedly. Sweden’s relative reluctance to openly sharing information about immigration stands in stark contrast to their neighbor, Denmark. This is despite the fact that immigrants are far more numerous in Sweden, making it an even more relevant public matter. For example, the Danish Ministry of Finance have published multiple reports regarding the net financial contribution of immigrants to public finances. No such analyses are issued by the government in Sweden. Annually, the Danish statistical agency (“Statistics Denmark”) publish a report about immigration which includes, among many other things, statistics regarding criminality. The Swedish agency responsible for crime statistics (“Brå”) have published a few reports detailing crime statistics in the context of immigration. The most recent Brå report was published in 2021. But the latest report before that was published more than 15 years earlier, in 2005. They are therefore very few and far between. The difference between Denmark and Sweden goes well beyond frequency of publication. Unlike the Brå report, the Danish report includes analyses at the level of country-of-origin. Furthermore, publicly available and easily accessible nation-of-origin conviction data is provided by Statistics Denmark, which anyone is free to look at and analyze. Brå, the Swedish agency, do not provide raw crime data that one can freely navigate. They only provide statistics and graphs of some pre-defined metrics, which do not include much in the way of immigration-relevant facts. Conspicuously absent in Swedish immigration research are detailed breakdowns by country of birth... But this reluctance to publicize country-level results did not always exist... Indeed, if you look at the LINDA database (Longitudinal INdividual DAta for Sweden), country of birth was available in the data set for decades prior to 2007 (see Table A2 in Edin & Fredriksson, 2000). Furthermore, if you go far enough back, the 1996 Brå report did provide country of origin results.  This taboo permeates Swedish institutions and is often enforced even when country-of-origin data is available... In a democracy, citizens should have reasonably free access to such information (provided that anonymity is ensured), and citizens may draw policy conclusions from facts in accordance with their own values... Ethics review boards in Sweden are highly restrictive with respect to what may be published when you deal with these so-called “sensitive” variables. Beyond the government’s unwillingness to properly inform the public, and the unreasonable restrictions enforced by ethics boards, the broader Swedish milieu can be hostile to unwelcome findings"
This is why left wingers refuse to collect and/or publish data - so there can't be politically inconvenient findings. It's easier than waging lawfare on those speaking truth to power
Time to accuse right wingers of suppressing research and muzzling scientists!

How 'humanitarian' Sweden's immigration policies went all wrong | National Post - "Sweden has gone from being one of the most welcoming and tolerant nation for refugees and migrants to now offering foreign national adults almost $51,500 to leave the country... Sweden is also making it easier to deport foreign nationals who commit crime. In September, any foreign national sentenced to more than a fine will be liable to deportation... The Nordic Times quoted Migration Minister Johan Forssell, of the ruling centre-right Moderate Party, as saying, “Sweden will now have the Nordic region’s toughest framework for criminal deportations. Those who come to Sweden and commit crimes have forfeited Swedish hospitality and should be deported.”  A “good conduct assessment,” expected to come into force in July 2026, will allow residency permits to be revoked for criminality or misconduct such as failing to comply with laws, posing a security threat or having unpaid debts. Those hoping to become Swedish citizens will face tougher requirements from June. Prospective citizens will have to have been resident in the country for eight years, up from five, and there will be a knowledge test on the Swedish language and society.  Applicants will have to demonstrate “good conduct” and show they have an income to support themselves.  It’s all a far cry from Sweden’s former open border policy.  In 1985, there were 665,600 foreign-born nationals in Sweden, 7.8 per cent of the population. Last year, the number was 2.2 million, about 20.2 per cent.  When Swedish employment minister Ylva Johansson visited Canada in 2015, Sweden was still seen as a progressive, liberal nation. That year was the peak of a migrant crisis in Europe as it was flooded with refugees fleeing wars in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq.  Sweden threw open its doors and saw 163,000 applying for protection, the highest per capita rate in Europe. “My Europe does not build walls,” then-prime minister Stefan Löfven, of the left-wing Social Democrats, said in September 2015.  Two months later, Löfven started building the walls.  In November 2015, at a highly emotional press conference, Löfven said, “It pains me that Sweden is no longer capable of receiving asylum seekers at the high level we do today. We simply cannot do anymore.”...  Part of the debate is the degree to which immigration can be linked to the astonishing levels of criminality in Sweden.  Sweden’s gun crime death rate is the highest in the European Union with Brå, the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention, saying the country had four deaths per million inhabitants in 2025 compared with an average of 1.6 deaths in Europe.  In the past three years, 23 innocent bystanders have been killed, caught in the crosshairs of gangland shootings.  In 2024, Sweden recorded 317 explosions — usually gang-related protection rackets — and Kristersson admitted, “’It is clear that we do not have control over this wave of violence.”  The Global Organized Crime Index depicted local gangs as often being from first- or second-generation migrant backgrounds, usually high school dropouts, and from marginalized areas marked by poverty and unemployment."
Clearly, those who say Sweden has a gun crime problem are lying. Sweden has just steadily broadened its definition of gun crime over the years, so you can't compare statistics across years, or to other countries

The Danish Law on Seizing Asylum Seekers’ Assets - "The Danish Government’s position is that foreigners who have the means to do so should pay for their stay in asylum centres and costs associated with healthcare. The Minister for Integration has compared asylum seekers to unemployed Danes who, she argues, must sell their assets in order to qualify to receive social benefits. Thus, it appears that, according to the Danish Government, the recent amendment does not discriminate asylum seekers, but rather places them on an equal footing with Danish citizens."
From 2016. Of course, left wingers are usually in favor of endless taxes. Some people compare this to the Nazis seizing the property of concentration camp prisoners. But if claiming asylum is the same as being sent to a concentration camp, then we should stop people from claiming asylum to protect them

The Effects of Immigration in Denmark - "We can account for differences in age and sex distributions the following way. Instead of simply dividing by the total amount of people from each nation of origin, we can scale people counts by the age/sex violent crime conviction curves displayed in the previous section. For example, ten men of the age of 30 would create a far larger denominator than ten women of the age of 60. The results adjusted for age and sex can be seen below. A few facts are evident. First, adjusting for age and sex has very little influence on the nations’ rank order. Those that were previously near the top continue to be so, and vice versa. However, I find that, on average, the rate ratios are reduced by 20-25% when accounting for age, sex and year. This is almost exclusively because of the age differences between natives and immigrants.  Second, it remains the case that the disparities are largely unexplained by differences in age or sex compositions. The top immigrant groups have >6 times greater conviction rates than natives, even when age and sex compositions have been adjusted for (down from >8 in the unadjusted model)... The official Danish report, with results highly consistent with that of my analysis, go further in attempting to explain the disparities. Along with age composition, they also control for various familial socioeconomic indicators. While such controls attenuate some disparities somewhat, they conclude that “the overall picture doesn’t change,” writing: “people from non-Western countries have higher [crime] index than people from Western countries, which cannot be explained by age, socioeconomic status, the family’s educational level or the family’s income.”"
From 2023. So much for the cope that immigrants and their descendants are younger, so their much higher offending rates are meaningless. Given that the official report already corrects for age, it's clear that this cope is even sillier than usual

Denmark Razes Migrant 'Ghettos' - "Denmark is a leading nation in the Europe-wide revolt against failed migration policies. Recently, five Nordic nations (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) agreed to pool their resources to facilitate expulsions of illegals. Elsewhere in Europe, more and more fringe parties are making migration a key topic. In southern Europe, Italy has taken the lead: Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has made deals with Tunisia and Albania to keep migrants out of Italy. Germany, France, Belgium and other West European nations are also witnessing public backlash against uncontrolled migration.  The last time that racially and religiously based demolition of property took place in Europe was the eve of the Second World War. In one such example, Albert Speer’s program to transform Berlin saw between 100,000 and 150,000 Jewish residences leveled to make room for Adolf Hitler’s giant architectural projects. Of course, there is a key difference: Denmark’s clean-up of ghettos does not involve rounding up migrants and sending them to concentration camps. Reducing crime and increasing employment, if this occurs, would be beneficial.  On the other hand, the demolitions set a precedent, both legally and morally. It would be inconsistent with history to say that large-scale religious and racial persecution will never return to Europe. Before the Holocaust, Europeans failed to foresee the extent of Nazi Germany’s atrocities against the Jews, even as precedents were being set in smaller ways.  For decades, the Trumpet has warned that Europe will turn against radical Islam"
From 2023

Spain triggers largest migrant amnesty in European history - "There have been at least 1.3 million applications made, more than double the 500,000 the centre-Left coalition government expected... Pedro Sánchez, Spain’s prime minister, said the amnesty was an act of justice but also of necessity, to continue Spain’s strong economic growth and safeguard public pensions by bringing younger workers into the country."
Left wingers are economically illiterate, so they think that net fiscal drags will save their pensions

'The collapse of Schengen' – Over 1 million illegal migrants apply for Spanish citizenship – not 500,000 - "twice as many people are being legalized than first claimed, and importantly for the rest of Europe, those migrants now have the right to freely move through the Schengen zone.  Due to his mass amnesty, The New York Times has now labeled Spain a “beacon of the global left.”...   Vox party leader Santiago Abascal has accused Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez of taking the long-term move of naturalizing millions of foreigners to give himself and left-wing parties an electoral advantage in upcoming elections.  “Pedro Sánchez is willing to rob us of the next general elections by manipulating the census and handing out Spanish nationality,” wrote Abascal. “And it is necessary for us to mobilize to prevent him, after everything he has stolen, from also stealing the elections from us.”... Sánchez has also been accused of passing the law with no democratic legitimacy. He announced that the Council of Ministers approved the decree initiating the implementation of this decision into the state legal order. Notably, this mass legalization was never formally voted in by parliament. Instead, Sánchez forced through an emergency decree.  The politician marketed the decree by talking about people who are in Spain in an “irregular situation” and noted that “again, I feel proud to be Spanish.”  Calls to the European Commission demanding the immediate removal of Spain from the Schengen Area have been met with silence. Illegal arrivals enter Europe through this country every day...   The program on legalization of status stems from a citizens’ initiative from 2024, which was supported by over 700,000 people. The measure was also supported by hundreds of organizations that describe themselves as humanitarian, along with business groups and the Catholic Church."

Meme - Leonarda Jonie @leonardaisfunny: "This is the picture we'll be showing our grand daughters when we explain why women can no longer vote."
Liberal Hivemind @LiberalHivemind: "Imagine protesting like this in the EU parliament on behalf of rape gangs and world subversives. White women are an interesting breed."

Milan overrun by Muslims for Ashura. Women placed in enclosures sparks controversy: “Is this ‘cultural enrichment’ for the Democratic Party?” (Photos) : r/europe_sub - "The scenes evoke a tradition far removed from Western norms—one that shares no common ground and offers no points of contact.  Once again, Milan has been swarmed. While Italy sees a succession of counter-terrorism operations targeting Islamic figures—individuals potentially poised to strike within the country or managing financial flows to terrorist organizations from Italian soil—thousands of Shia Muslims gathered in Piazza Duca d'Aosta, in front of Milan’s Central Station, before marching along Via Vittor Pisani. For a few hours, the Lombard capital became an outpost of Tehran—or any other city under Islamic rule—a scene that clashes sharply with the image of Milan as a modern, forward-looking city and a capital of fashion and freedom. The Ashura procession—an observance commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussein—paralyzed city traffic with a highly symbolic demonstration that inevitably reignited the debate over integration and Western values.  The event was charged with a strong sense of identity, marked by the Shia community's traditional expressions of penance. Political backlash was swift, targeting both the nature of the procession and the silence of local institutions and the political Left. The primary criticism focused on the community's evident and massive display of strength—described by Silvia Sardone, Deputy Secretary of the League and a Milan city councilor, as a sign of the "increasingly massive and worrying Islamization of our country." Participants marched through the city center amidst huge Islamic flags, performing ritual chest-beating. Once again, women have been confined and hidden from public view—fully veiled and forced into enclosures—a form of treatment unacceptable to Western civilization, which has fought for decades for women's emancipation.  “The images of women (all veiled)—separated from men during the procession, placed inside enclosures and positioned behind a black sheet and a truck—are unacceptable,” added Sardone. It is a scene that clashes head-on with the West’s social achievements and which Sardone describes as “yet another instance of blatant discrimination against women—something that has become the norm in many Muslim communities.” Sardone pressed the issue: “Does Mayor Sala have nothing to say about these images? Do Schlein, Boldrini, and the Democratic Party view these scenes as cultural enrichment and positive integration? Will feminists remain silent, as usual, just to avoid confronting the issue of Islamic patriarchy?”  The risk, Sardone concluded, “is that in the name of political correctness and a sham version of integration, we will continue to hide or censor our own symbols, culture, and identity, submitting instead to traditions that do not belong to us and are incompatible with our values—starting with women's freedom.”"

Inside Norway's migrant rape classes that teach sexual consent - "A picture of a young woman in a short skirt sitting with her legs apart is being used to show migrant men that revealing clothing isn’t an invitation for sex.  The photograph, obtained by MailOnline, is being used in rape prevention classes in Norway to teach asylum seekers appropriate sexual behaviour following the recent attacks in Cologne and elsewhere in Europe.  In classes which may be replicated across the continent, male pupils, mostly of Arab and North African origin, are taught that skimpy clothes do not provide an excuse for rape or abuse... Linda Hagen, the leader of the course, has revealed the challenges she faces in trying to change the mindset of migrant men who have perpetrated sexual assault... Participants in the course often make comments like 'she kissed him, it's an invitation to have sex', and 'if she wants come to my place, that means she's consenting.'   In response, Ms Hagen explains that Western standards are different to those found in some Islamic countries.  Norway has been offering these courses for several years, but in the wake of the New Year's Eve mass sex attacks in Cologne, Germany, other countries affected have expressed an interest in them... Ms Hagen believes that the mass sexual assaults occurred because a hardcore of violent migrants instigated the abuse, and crowds of others - who are not naturally aggressive - followed their lead.  'We can't change men who are violent, as they often have complex problems,' she said, adding that if violent men can be removed from mass groups such attacks can be stopped. The New Year's Eve sex attacks in Cologne and elsewhere sent shockwaves through Europe.  Gang-rape and group sex attacks, known as 'taharrush gamea' in the Arab world, took place across German cities in January and are spreading to other countries.  The Arabic term translates as 'collective harassment'. It is carried out by large gangs of men who crowd around a woman and commit a group sexual assault, either by groping or raping her.  The gang surrounds the victim in circles. While some members take part in the abuse, others may either look on or divert outsiders' attention to what is occurring.  The practice is carried out in public, normally in crowded places where the attackers can find safety in numbers and chaos.  It first came to the attention of the Western world when the South African CBS reporter Lara Logan was set upon by a large group of men while reporting from Tahrir Square, Egypt, in 2011. 'Taharrush gamea' has not just occurred in Germany. On New Year’s Eve, coordinated gang rapes were reported in France, Belgium, Sweden, Finland and Norway, where Ms Hagen teaches.  It has led authorities in a number of other European countries expressing an interest in setting up similar classes across the continent.  Ms Hagen compared educating migrants to controlling an unruly class at school.  When pupils are behaving like 'a single noisy mass', she explained, the situation can be defused by giving attention to 'two students with behavioural problems'. After that, the class can become 'completely normal'...  'In Norway, it's quite common to hug, to entwine, to dance very closely without it necessarily leading to a sexual encounter'... Hero launched the course after a series of rapes committed by foreigners in the southwestern town of Stavanger between 2009 and 2011."
From 2016. Don't these courses perpetuate the "harmful" "stereotype" that migrant men are more likely to commit sexual assault?

Remix News & Views on X - "🇳🇴 A Syrian migrant found guilty of raping a 13-year-old Norwegian girl in a bike shed in Tromsø will serve just six months in prison after the sentencing court ruled that the attacker had a "low IQ" and "a reduced understanding of reality."  Abdelmonem Abdelrazak Al-Yousef was found to have raped the girl in September 2024, less than a year after arriving in Norway from Syria.  He met her in Tromsø city center before assaulting her on a park bench and leading her to a secluded bike shed near the Harbour Terminal where he raped her.  He initially denied meeting the girl, but after semen was found at the scene and traced to him, he admitted to meeting the victim but not engaging in sexual activity.  Psychiatric assessments showed he had a very low IQ, and the court ruled that "the defendant is most likely no further along in development than the victim."  A change to Norwegian law last year removed the minimum prison sentence of three years for rape, allowing the court to impose a partial suspended sentence conditional on probation, meaning he will only serve six months inside."
