Sweden and the Lack of Integration of Immigrants

Hat tip Samtiden. Translation by Fousesquawk.

The Swedish Defense College has issued a new report outlining the failure of Sweden to integrate its Muslim immigrant population. The below article by the conservative Swedish site, Samtiden, is translated by Fousesquawk.

Planning to build the caliphate-with Swedish taxes

Dick Erixon-May 1, 2022

The goal of the Islamists is to segregate and isolate Muslims in the Swedish suburbs. Since ISIS fell in Syria, the extremists have changed tactics. “Now they are trying to build the caliphate  here,” says an accessor in the Defense College’s new report, “Salafism and Salafist jihadism 2.0.”

Many migrants do not want to be integrated in Sweden. Many resist Swedish. They want to tear down what has been built up here over centuries. Though this is hardly news, it is something 7 out of 8 parliamentary parties do not take into account, rather (they) assume that all migrants want to become part of Swedish society.

Job and education not sufficient

For 30 years, the old parties have talked about how “job and education” are the ways to integrate. But what about those who don’t want to work? Those who don’t want to educate themselves? The old parties-who allowed so many to come here- have difficulty in mentally understanding the realities.

With great hesitancy, they have begun to say that immigrants must also “learn the Swedish language”. But everywhere this is brought up, there is strong political opposition, as when Gothenburg this week-after a two-year battle through a Sweden Democrats’ initiative- decided to institute a language test for care personnel.

Want to create a parallel society

In the Defense College’s new report, it shows how the reality looks, which the drivers of migration refuse to acknowledge.

“It sounds very dramatic because you think only about the violent part. But all Islamist movements want to institute a parallel structure. The reason we look at this is that these ideologues want to cause conflicts with our democratic society. That does not have to be terror, even if it is in the most extreme form,” terror researcher Magnus Ransdorp tells Dagens Nyheter.

Rather than build a caliphate abroad, the focus now in Sweden is to segregate and encapsulate immigrants in vulnerable communities.

Utilize association life for active segregation

And they want to utilize Swedish traditions, for example, through associations, to seek public contributions to institute that which struggles against what Swedish politicians want to accomplish.

“Many in these circles are very clever in formulating applications, and they use positive words like democracy, equality, human freedom, and rights. Which, in many cases, results in them receiving either project financing or association grants,” says Linda Ahlerup, one of the report’s authors. 

She points out the lack of municipality control, which focuses on written documentation-not on what actually happens at meetings.

They often look at whether the association has statutes, what one has on paper for activities, but later it isn’t certain that it is reflected in reality. Instead, they should examine what is behind the various applications, set higher demands for feedback, and make unannounced visits to see if, for example,  homework assistance is occurring or something else,” says Linda Ahlerup.

Insights into the driving forces of segregation are lacking. The reason is there is a belief that all migrants want to become Swedish. And to not believe that is, yes, you know, racist.

Therefore, anyone who wants to conduct a serious examination of activities that receive large tax-financed contributions is opposed. There is a strong, feeling-driven aversion to questioning the intentions of migrants. If you want migrants, well, then you must believe that they want to become Swedish.

This lie has to be crushed because before public institutions begin to examine migrants as hard as tax authorities examine Swedish income earners, we will never get it right with integration. They are opposed by segregationist forces who, paradoxically, are still financed by us.

 No wonder integration has failed for 30 years.
