What makes me extremely upset is that Sweden for decades have been taking care of people letting literally millions of people into our society - and what did we get? Shootings, explosions and violence on our streets. Thanks for appreciating our country.

Every country has an obligation to look after its own people

I visited Sweden for the first time in 1994. Visited for the second time last year. Like the rest of Europe, I noticed that it’s losing its identity. It didn’t feel as safe as it did before and many areas weren’t as nice. Immigration is slowly destroying Europe.

Very true. I stayed in Sweden for one month and all the bad neighborhoods are immigrant ones.

It’s natural for people to get upset when you change their country so quickly. Sweden has the right to be swedish

I am an Indian living in Italy. The problem is everybody talks about rights of immigrants and no one talks about duty of immigrants. You don't go to Saudi Arabia and say I want to stay in bikini. Respect the land that gave you dignity.

As a swede, what I want from immigrants is for them to integrate into our society, get a stable job, make a life for themselves and become a productive member of society. Sadly, a lot of immigrants do not want this. Everyone is welcome here as long as they make a positive contribution to society as a whole.

I am an immigrant from India and it is sad to see what happens to Europe. For example, France was really nice 10 years ago and now it is getting scary to visit there.

I am from sweden and it's not about skincolour or refugee status. It's all about religion and muslims inability to integrate and accept swedish christian/atheistic values.

It was a huge mistake to allow this to happen in the first place

I used to be a political refuge , my parents came to Belgium when I was 15. I’m really thankful to the Belgian government for recognising the problem and giving us the status. As soon as we could work all of us started working , paying taxes obey the law. No I have a Belgian nationality. I think if you a refugee or a immigrant and you don’t obey the low, they should deport you back to your country, I think it’s unfair that taxpayers have to pay his meal in jail !

I lived in Sweden in 1998-9. Uppsala., this is when they were taking in a lot of refugees from war torn regions. The sentiment there, was they welcomed these people, but most of them had no interest in becoming part of the community. Instead they made their own communities, built their own churches, and there was a divide. It didn’t feel like welcoming someone into their home. It felt like people moved in, took over part of the city, and put up a wall. Nobody would like that.

The question no one asks is why can't these people create safe and productive societies of their own? Sweden owes NOTHING to anyone except Swedish citizens. Kudos to them for standing up for their culture and civilization.

Why should Sweden, a modern European country that is pioneer in women's rights, gay rights, import hundreds of thousands of people from Islamic countries who are against emancipation of women, against homosexuality (jail or death penalty, according to their religious book!), against free discussion and questioning of religions??? Why? Thank God that Swedes came to their senses and voted for political parties to stop this nonsense!

No mention of the increase in sexual assult

I fully agree; if muslim women wants to be taken seriously, they must take themselves seriously and get rid if the middle-aged clothing prescriptions, which are not meant for men. No forced marriages. Full educational possibilities for girls and women. No physical punishments nor tortures (also not for boys and men). No cutting in sexual organs. That is pervers.

As a muslim from Indonesia, I personally think limiting the amount of immigrants is a good idea....... like if I travel to Europe, I still wanna see THEIR culture, not the same muslim thing ;/

Yes maybe they should go to the welcoming countries of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE etc.

Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist” -Brother Marion .

My house, my rules. Their country, their rules. Enough said. Be respectful of the host nation if you want to live there.

Every country has the right to protect its own culture.

Every country has the right to reject ideologies that do not align with theirs. I don't think most Muslim people actually understand how privileged they are to live in a country that doesn't encourage their oppressive religious ideologies.

The presenter was a great journalist, he didnt express his opinion or judgement of either side and just reported on what is going on. He did an excelent job!

I'm from India and have been living in Europe since 5 years. I've been staying in Sweden sinec 2 years and I've witnessed a lot of issues with immigrants not adapting to the local culture. Sweden has one of the most beautiful cultures in Europe. Most of Swedish holidays are related to nature. This attracted me to move here and probably settle down here. I'm really happy to be working here and paying my taxes. But to know that my taxes are going to people who are creating chaos really concerns me. I hope the government can solve this mess and restore the Swedish culture. Jag älskar Sverige och jag är glad över att vara en del av kulturen.

I'm from India and I feel so bad for Europe. I hope the continent as a whole wakes up and does something about it. Lots of love to Sweden and the Swedish people. I hope the government becomes as strong as brave as the Vikings, not as weak as the woke clowns of clown world.

They have the right to keep their country traditional

Namaste everyone, I'm Arsh, an Indian who has been living in Sweden for 5 years now. I absolutely love Swedish culture, and my favorite festival is Midsommar. It's a beautiful celebration of summer with traditional food, music, and dancing. I've also learned to speak Swedish fluently and have completely assimilated into the culture. I believe it's important to respect and appreciate the culture of the country you live in, and I'm proud to call Sweden as my 2nd home. I also own a small Indian restaurant on the side wise,I'm grateful for the opportunity to live in a country that is so nice with magnificent culture and people.I would also like to add that I am a law-abiding citizen who pays my taxes regularly. I believe that it is important to contribute to the society that you live in. But current immigrant are not trying to adapt culture and trying to force themselves on other.

I fear that Sweden's left it a bit late to address this issue. Denmark took preventative action perhaps just in time and neighbouring Finland has been watching what's been going on and when Ms Marin recently suggested inviting young migrants into her country, she immediately lost the election.

I used to work with successful refugees in the UK and all they talked about was how to lie to immigration people to get into countries, and what to do to get relatives in. And most of the ones I worked with wanted to move to Sweden because it was seen as a better option benefits-wise than the UK. This was over a decade ago

Keep fighting for your country Sweden. You don't want to end up like Britain.

Invite 3rd world. Become 3rd world.

Our "rightwingers" make Bernie Sanders look like Mussolini. When I was a kid in Sweden, everyone knew about Hagamannen (the Haga-man). He was an infamous and feared criminal here who kids would tell horrorstories about. His crime? He had attacked six women and raped three. It was horrendous. I was 10 years old before I experienced someone being shot in my city. It made national news. Now I am 26, and in my city alone we have monthly bombings, weekly shootings, daily robberies and rape. This country has changed so much so fast that it is hard to even believe.

I wonder how the governments and their people in countries like Nigeria, Iran, Egypt, Cameroon, Bangladesh, Pakistan, or Afghanistan, without naming any of the smaller nations, would react if they received thousands of German, Swedish, Finnish, Spanish, Italian, French or British 'economic refugees' on a daily basis...

as an immigrant myself - l think all countries want guests in their country to be like Tarek - learn the language - integrate -respect the laws and culture - it's not unreasonable to ask this of guests to your country -

I just applied to job in Sweden as a Czech citizen, been really exited about the idea of moving to the Sweden, learn the language, meet some locals, might settle in, but after watching this documentary I'm starting to realise that nothing is sugar coated anymore

I visited Sweden once on vacation last summer. We mostly went to lakes, hikes, fishing, etc. Mostly very clean and everyone respecting nature & each other. Sadly the few anecdotal instances of littering or people being rude were immigrants: throwing trash out the car or guys speaking “not English or Swedish” drove a boat trailer into my gf intentionally and don’t say anything (like sorry). I felt bad for Swedes and can understand if Swedes start to harbor resentment after like 2 weeks there.

Great! As a swede i really want sweden to return too a actual good country without criminality on the streets.

Sweden conserve your history your country

I am an ex muslim in a muslim country, my life is in danger but I have never thought to flee my country to go to another cultured country as some of my friends did to live a better life, I live as a non muslim for 5 years and I would still literally die for my county and my people eventhough they wouldn't care about me. And if went to another country and became a citizen I would probably do the same, I get conected to the land abd the origin. It all comes to my pride and love of my country that I belong to. I think people can move to Europe to study, work or live with their spouse if he or she is from there, living as a stranger would be hard u less you move to a melting pot like the US, Canada, Brazil, New Zealand, Australia even the UAE) These countries were either completely built by immegrabts and refugeese or half built by them. Personally, I never believed that people would completely fit in Europe or anywhere where the indeginous people are the majority. Because a lot of people are obsessed with race and skin colour these days. I am not talking about white people only as the media portrayed. I am not white but I am fair. So as I said, they can visit but never would feel at hime if they choose ti live there with the indeginous because it takes some few bad examples to make the anti immigration to fight and hate all the immigrants. there wether they came a week ago or a decade ago or more. In my country, we have European people live and work and even retire here and I can see that they live very peacefully even it's a muslim country. They live very happily and never heard someone from them complain about racism and that's great. Maybe it's in the people But I speak for myself, even I am very aware and I know what to do and wgat to don't, and ready to adapt, I can't go and try to fit in other countires as a guy who can't handle racism abd desrespect .. I got offered a job in Germany but I didn't go because I just don't want Germans to treat me bad and in my head Germans are nice and smart people (I don't see the past, I am talking about the present) so I choose to not to move to Germany to keep that good image in my head about them. I have even started to learn the language but I stopped and just decied to stay here. I want that immage I have for Germans and Europeans to stay clean because people there can be tired of some of immigrants craziness and problems in their countries, so their racism and xenophobia against me would be justified which is wrong but sadly tgat would be the reality I hate to experience as a good immegrant. This is my bold deep opinion, and as I said, even my life is in danger and even my own people can be dangerous and hateful towards me, I choose to stick to my country and find a way to live and grow here. And to be totally honest, some refugeese have started to move here recently and I don't like some of their behaviours too and I am fully aware that things could become much worse and I am ready to stop the bad guys for the sake of my country. So yeah I understand this and I have always understood the culture shock thing and that people usually don't easily get along even with their familes and close ones or same ethnicity and nationality let along with strangers who came with new cultures, religions and thoughts. And you never know ! Those people could come and shake or effect your country/pride.

I think whoever wants to emigrate into a country must accept and assimilate into its values. He can still practise his native culture and religion but such practices should not be so overt until it changes the landscape of the host country. Sweden, like any country, have to protect the rights of its citizens.

Going from one of the lowest gun crime rates in Europe to the highest is also an 'unwelcome' rise.

Yes, when you try to change the composition of a country. There is usually backlash. Not suprising. This is the same for all countries.

Why don't we send them to Saudi Arabia, Turkey, UAE, etc. ? Why Sweden?

It’s so disingenuous to conflate anti immigration sentiment with racism, the Swedish people have a right to decide, ,unfortunately it's too late for Sweden because they’ve taken in the only group of people who never integrates

it is mainly the middle east countries he is talking about. they can never integrate into western culture.

Im of turkish origin, born in Sweden...for those whos not familiar to swedish society, and the change we seen last 10-15years, would never imagine and would never understand how and why Swedes are so destructive to themselves and their country. Its a terrible change, the safe, human and beutiful Sweden I was born in, is now a country with several no go zones, skyrocketing crimerate, gangrelated violence. Ppl dont dare speak out of being labled rasist and lose everything, its a terrible development that will not benify anyone in the country.

As a Dane, it is beautifull to see our brothers and sisters waking up from their sleep.

The Swedes are a calm people, great sense of humour and very relaxed about sex or sexual relationships. Same with their attitude to religion, believe what you want but don't make a big fuss about it. Those attributes make Sweden (Denmark too) the absolute worst places to send people who are brought up to despise such values. It never, ever was going to or could work, the mentalities are so different it was plainly obvious (well,should have been) the Muslims arriving would not ask for meatballs and ABBA music, they would DEMAND mosques and that the Swedes adapted to their values, rather than the opposite. It is such a pity - if not criminal - how naive or sadly calculating the Swedish MPs have been. The Swedish culture has been destroyed. I cannot believe Swedes in authority positions are that naive so yes, it must have been a deliberate decision to do this to Swedish culture.

Why has only Islam and Muslims problems everywhere? I am also an Immigrant living in Europe. Nobody has an issue with a Hindu, Sikh, Jain and a Buddhist immigrant!

8:33 "what's the cause?" "I can't exactly say what's the cause...but people talk..." you can feel a chill come over the room, when he asks, and the woman refuses to answer the question because she's on camera. How terrible that she is made to feel afraid to point out the obvious: that Middle Eastern and African Muslim men with low education and no respect for the West are coming to Sweden and committing crimes. But she can't say that on tv, people will call her racist.

Europa är värt att försvara.

There is a very old saying in Greece which I'm afraid I cannot fully translate but it goes like this: if you give roof to the ungrateful and ,soon enough the ungrateful will kick you out and take your roof as theirs. Looks like Sweden has that happen to the majority that is.

I am swedish and I think the problems have grown out of proportions, I moved to a neighboring country because it didn't feel safe anymore. Christian values & muslim are not very compatible and these frictions are apparent in society, unfortunately :/

Multiculturalism is bound to fail. The question is: when will the politicians be held accountable?

I’m fascinated by the swing to the right in Europe- I believe that one issue is the fact that new immigrants do not want to integrate into western society- forcing their norms in the greater society

Sweden people need to make a decision. Whatever you guys decide, your future generations will pay the price. Good luck Swedish people.

when my grandfather came in the 70's from ex yugoslavia he came on sunday and on monday he went to work. Nowdays people have lived here for 10-20 + years and still dont know the language or have a job. Its totally insane

As a Swede, third generation immigrant I have to be completely honest. I'm going to vote for SD again next election. You cannot ignore the constant gang violence occurring all over our country, nor the burning cars in Rosengård nor the 6-children families who don't work and live off of tax money. There is a limit and it has been reached and already was reached a long time ago.

They must go. I don't blame the Swedes for shifting right.

I’m a Saudi myself and even here migrants find it difficult to adopt to the rules no matter what country or culture you came from migration is a bad idea

When I visit Sweden I expect to experience the rich welcoming Scandinavian culture,to feel safe and experience one of the most civilised societies in the world-the same with all the countries in Europe,EU needs a Japanese style immigration policy implemented.

How do I join? Do they have a website?

People don’t want their country completely change. Who would of thought

You need to vote out the people that allow this to happen and allow migrants to behave inappropriately. Human rights for locals too.

As a Cameroonian, i lived in Sweden more than 20 years ago. I was one of the thousands of Cameroonians who were educated by the Swedish government. I cant remember anyone hating the country or trying to commit crimes. We all loved Sweden and did our best to show respect to the country. In our own little communities, we were against those who were trying to demonstrate poor habits in public space. Most of us have moved on to other countries e.g. Cameroon, Canada, USA, UK, etc for other opportunities but i cant remember anyone speaking bad of the people or the country.

Well Swedes, isn't this what you wanted? You criticized Poles for wanting to live in a safe country. What you sow is what you reap, a simple rule.

I was for a year in Sweden 10 years ago and it was the best country I've ever been! Clasic traditional people, clean everywhere, good ecology, just great! Hope it will not change.

God forbid the Swedish defend and conserve their own country, CBS. How dare they, huh? Anything that is in favor of a country defending and protecting itself from danger is considered "right" and "far-right" these days. Shame on you.

If you receive Muslims, you're not allowing just a religion, you're allowing a system that doesn't separate religion and politics.

I remember that I have told a Swedish friend 10 15 years ago or so that you will face the ugly reality and wake up from this “diversity” dream but it will be too late for you guys. And he gave me a shame on you with his looks. I am form Turkey btw and an agnostic atheist. Even in Turkey we have a lot of problems with refugees. Why I said “even”? Because as you probably know majority of our people and refugees are from same religion and they are from neighbor country Syria. You don’t expect a huge difference in culture wise right? You are wrong.. The culture difference is huge even with the people of two neighboring countries. So taking hundreds of thousands of people from “alien” cultures to your country and expecting them to integrate in to your society imo is just naivety. Of course with time many of them will integrate but it will be a painful process and on that process even tiniest percentage that don’t integrate well will cause problems when you consider the number of the immigrants in Sweden. We are social animals and we tend to live in groups like the ones our selfs. Voila now you have immigrant ghettos. Integration is harder now. Anyhow I hope you guys can handle this problem well.

I believe Sweden is still able to save it's great identity

What do people expect to happen when you allow people into a country that doesn't integrate into your culture, values and even dont learn the language, swedes and europe as a whole are so beautiful with rich culture and languages and Europeans want to protect that, that doesn't make them right wing im saying this as a liberal

The problem isn't with the immigrants, it is with the fact that they are not assimilating into the local culture. Violent and sexual crime has gone through the roof in Sweden as a result.

If they want to be Swedish why don't they dress Swedish?

As a student in communist Poland, I traveled to Sweden for summer work to pick strawberries for several years. My aunt also lived there. I remember Sweden as a happy country of helpful people and beautiful nature. I was interested in this country and I had the impression that for many decades the Swedish authorities, especially those from the social democratic party, have been performing a kind of social engineering towards their nation in order to transform it into some kind of utopian society. I have a similar impression now in connection with the mass influx of immigrants to Sweden. It has such a horrendous scale that I find it hard to believe that the authorities that allowed it to happen are not aware of the consequences it will entail. So I am convinced that this is a continuation of this experiment in which Swedish society is to become some new kind of society, some mixture of many races and cultures, whether the Swedish people themselves want it or not.

I feel for sweden we are dealing with something similar in the united states

In my experience here in Ireland, Polish eastern block people came integrated and added to society , the filipinos also, zero issue! Muslim peoples seem to keep to other Muslims for whatever reason, no attempt at integrating with the Irish people

I have a rule of thumb, and it's something i strongly stand for: it's not about who we are letting in, it's about how many. People like Tarek prove you can assimilate and become an integrated part of any society no matter where you're from if you just try. I don't have a problem with the immigrants themselves, but there simply is a limit to how many newcomers you can fit into a country of only 10 mill.

Look at all those doctors and engineers ready to enrich the country

Swedenstan

If someone doesn't work or becomes criminal should go

These people are so docile that they are afraid of naming the problem.

It´s about the enviroment you grow up in. We Swedes are raised to respect others and grew up peacefully in the past. Most of the people that come from the wars they grow up in a environment filled with hate and violence. They respect their own but lack sympathy and empathy or respect towards others beliefs and cultures. Thats just the way many were raised, they grow up with hate because of war.

Save Sweden, save Europe. SAVE THE WEST!

I can understand from both sides. I am a refugee myself, and i came to America with a pair of shoes and clothes on my back. I appreciate America for giving me a chance to live again. I would be dead if i wasn't here. Today, i am a federal servant and will be retired as one when i turned 57. When u r given an opportunity to live again, u dont go committing crimes, do drugs in your host country. U do the right thing, get educations, work hard, pay taxes, and be a good citizen.

Europeans have their own culture and values and they are entitled to preserve it.

I've lived in malmo for 6 months, as a Romanian immigrant (meaning that I got there to a friend who had a construction firm and he needed professional people) I've started working pretty much after 2 days of being there all legal work contract and the like. My point is that the sweedens were cold and distant fake smiles and all. I didn't take it personally, I understand the ideea. What actually disturbed me was the tolerance towards the Muslims and they were ALOT of them. And let me tell you , all I've seen were a bunch of trouble makers (specially the young ones) alot of drug pedaling alot of crime. I've almost been robed by a bunch of them ( my posture and my stature saved me) . They don't want to integrate, they don't like Christians , they don't like the tipe of civilization they immigrated to. Because of all of that I've just left back to my country. NOT because of the sweedens. Because I understand they're point of view. But I couldn't understand why they just roll over and take it when it comes to the Muslim people. P.s. Sweden was one of the most beautiful places that I've ever seen. Expensive a.f. but you get your money's worth.

Swedish citizens should vote for politicians/leaders who can make the country a safe nation again. Criminals, such as rapists, from outside Europe should be deported after being placed in prison for some years. Sweden needs a leader who can undo the terrible and disastrous action that a previous incompetent leader did by allowing people from outside Europe enter Sweden without thoroughly checking the backgrounds.

Why does the press put this as not WELCOME?. Only the Swedes can say if this is welcome or not.

every action has a reaction dont be surprised the far right is rising

Good news. European people need to wake up.

As a Ukrainian I can say that it is very difficult for Ukrainians to work in the EU, I am now under "temporary protection" because of the war, but to stay in one of the EU countries after the war I have to do a work visa if I have a certain specialty such as doctor, engineer and so on, I have a higher education in economics but not engineer or IT but people from African countries, Syria and other Arab countries often come and can’t even read and write and governments take the responsibility to support them, educate them and so on and they stay in the EU easily, for Ukrainians it’s much more harder . Why it’s like that ?

Swedes MUST take their country back, before HamASS do.

It's shocking as an American to see my Viking cousins so afraid to "say out loud" what the problem is due to political correctness. That fear of free speech is destroying them.

Somehow, there's this "enlightened" notion that a country should adapt to immigrants rather than the other way around. My attitude is that if someone is gracious enough to welcome you into their home, then you do your best to fit in.

0:32 you really use a clip of a national day march as an example of a racist or anti-imigrant march?

Funny how most of these documentaries say that "They are well integrated" and then half of the people interviewed either dont speak swedish, or not even english, Or working. Lol

No country should be forced to accept economic migrants. If the country of origin is safe, they should be sent back. If any country object to that by pointing to humanity, just sent the migrants to them. Humanism should be our goal, no doubt. But nobody should destroy their country and it's safety just for pr works

In Denmark the Syrian refugees were at one point demanding. literally demanding they stop serving pork chops and pork meats in restaurants. You should not come to a country and demand it changes for you. That is not the way the world works.
