A man in Sweden who was praised for cleaning up after last year’s Easter Qur’an riots by Swedish media has been arrested after being accused of participating in the riots himself.

Over Half a Million Swedes Can No Longer Afford Basic Necessities
With prices having skyrocketed across all sectors, likely as a result of massive COVID-19 government spending compounded by the economic fallout from the sanctions against Russia over the war in Ukraine, an increasing number of Swedes are falling into poverty and are unable to afford basic necessities.
Despite the fact that absolute poverty in Sweden has decreased since the 1990s, the gap between the high and low earners continues to increase. Today, over half a million Swedes now find themselves unable to pay for the most basic expenses, with more and more people having to turn to charitable organizations in order not to starve, SvD Näringsliv reports.
‘Superdiversity’ in Malmö
The Swedish city that’s the canary in Europe’s coal mine.
With a population of roughly 350,000, Malmö, which is located on the other side of the Örebro Bridge from Copenhagen, is, after Stockholm and Gothenburg, Sweden’s third largest city. It has the country’s highest unemployment rate and one of its youngest populations – both of which can be explained by the fact that in Sweden, which is perhaps Western Europe’s most heavily Islamized nation, Malmö is perhaps the most heavily Islamized city. Its high Muslim population is also the reason why Malmö has been known for years as the rape capital of Sweden – which, in turn, has been known for years as the rape capital of Europe.
Stockholm on Edge As Gang War Erupts
Two bombings rocked apartment buildings in Stockholm, Sweden, in the morning hours of Monday, January 2nd. Public broadcasting station SVT reports:
“On Monday morning an explosion happened in an apartment building in Vällingby, in western Stockholm. According to SVT sources, a well-known rap artist is among the four arrested for the bombing. Another explosion happened early in the morning in Bagarmossen in southern Stockholm. In all, five people have been arrested.”
Swedish Kids a Minority in Malmö Schools
It is suggested that students generally would do better in Malmö’s schools if they were allowed to take classes in their native language instead of in Swedish.
The majority of the school kids in the Swedish city of Malmö are of foreign origin, which means “new integration challenges” for all, according to the city’s own researcher on the integration of immigrants.
Samnytt.se reports that two thirds of the children in Malmö are of immigrant background, a proportion which will directly impact the language of instruction…
Sweden: Two Independent Muslim Schools Forced To Shut Doors Over Islamist Ideology
Following rulings from an administrative court, two independent Muslim schools in Sweden which function outside of the state’s traditional educational system will not be allowed to continue their operations after Swedish security services warned that students risked being radicalized by Islamist ideology contained in course material.
‘Wholly unremarkable’: the suburban couple in Sweden accused of spying for Russia
For the leafy Stockholm suburb of Nacka, it was a rude, pre-dawn awakening: wailing sirens, two Black Hawk helicopters clattering overhead and special forces in combat gear fast-roping through the windows of an imposing white villa – all at 6.01am.
The raid late last month by Sweden’s security service, police elite units and army, lasting little over a minute, targeted a Russian couple suspected of carrying out “illegal intelligence activities” against Sweden and the US for more than a decade.
It took place just days before the trial began in Stockholm of two Swedish brothers arrested last autumn and accused of selling secrets to Russia’s intelligence services.
Sweden says it’s set to hit NATO’s defence spending target — unlike Trudeau’ government which maintains Canada’s Deadbeat status as policy
Within two years, Sweden — the formerly neutral Nordic country that’s soon to join NATO — will meet the Western military alliance’s often-debated defence spending target of two per cent of gross domestic product.
The country’s top military commander, Gen. Micael Bydén, told CBC News that Sweden is also restructuring its armed forces to make it more of a “wartime organization” to be ready in case the conflict with Russia escalates.
That’s pretty bad, I hear Sweden’s armed forces are even more woke than Canada’s.
Why did Sweden turn Right-wing?
Swedish politics’ Rightward shift has dented the country’s image as the spiritual home of the liberal Left. Indeed, such was the success Sweden’s Right-wing coalition that the New York Times proclaimed that ‘Sweden is becoming unbearable’ on the day of the election.
Much of this nervousness can be put down to the growing influence of the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats. While not directly in power, the party’s political support for the Right-wing coalition means that they can exert pressure on their more moderate counterparts to reconsider Sweden’s experiment in mass immigration.
Sweden ditches ‘feminist foreign policy’ … Justin Trudeau Hardest Hit
Sweden’s new foreign minister has ditched its pioneering “feminist foreign policy”, saying the label has become more important than its content.
But Tobias Billstrom said “we will always stand for gender equality”.
The previous left-wing government launched the policy in 2014, becoming the first in the world to put gender equality at the heart of its dealings with other nations.
The self-labelled “feminist government” had ruffled feathers globally.
Sweden: Deadly Gun Violence Reaches All-Time High in 2022
“It is no longer a secret today that much of the problem of gang and network crime with the shootings and explosions have been linked to migration to Sweden in recent decades,” Gothenburg police chief Erik Nord
Following its 48th deadly shooting which took place days ago, Sweden, once considered the most peaceful society in Europe, has registered more deadly incidents involving firearms in the first nine months of 2022 than were recorded during the whole of 2020, a year which previously held the record for the most people shot dead.
Nazis! They’re All Nazis!
How the bibles of the leftist Anglosphere spin Sweden’s “far-right” turn.
Sweden Is Becoming Unbearable,” read the headline on Sept. 18. Well, yes, Sweden is becoming unbearable: thanks to the mass influx of Muslims into the country over the last few decades, its rape statistics are the highest in Europe, youth gangs burn cars in the streets of its major cities, and no-go zones — where even police and firefighters fear to tread — are proliferating. But because the headline was in the New York Times, the article wasn’t about the dramatic, destructive way in which Islam is reshaping a once almost ridiculously peaceful country. No, it was about the purportedly horrific fact that the Sweden Democrats (SD) won 20 percent of the vote in the Sept. 11 elections.
Sweden Votes Right: ‘All I Want Is for My Kid Not to Get Kidnapped and Peed on’
Two Bombings in One Night? That’s Normal Now in Sweden.
My country just voted in a right-wing government. The almost 500 bombings since 2018 may have something to do with it.
Yesterday morning, Swedes woke up to news of a kind that has become all-too familiar: During the night, powerful bombs exploded at apartment buildings in two different towns in southern Sweden.
… Among shooting suspects, 85 percent are first- or second-generation immigrants, according to the newspaper Dagens Nyheter, as immigrant neighborhoods have become hotbeds for gang crime. National Police Commissioner Anders Thornberg has described the violence as “an entirely different kind of brutality than we’ve seen before” and his deputy, Mats Löfving, says that 40 criminal clans now operate throughout the country. Spreading fear are “humiliation robberies,” targeting children and youth, in which victims are subjected to degrading treatment by assailants, such as being urinated upon. Just this week, four men were sentenced for robbing, beating and urinating on an 18-year-old, who was also filmed by his tormentors.
Sweden and the revolt against the evasive elites
Across the Western world people are rising up against their dishonest rulers.
So now we know: nowhere is immune to the populist surge. Not even Sweden. Not even every European liberals’ favourite welfarist state. Once considered the happy country of Europe, an oasis of technocratic calm in an often unpredictable continent, now even Sweden has been rattled by populism. In last week’s election the Sweden Democrats, a right-wing nationalist party, emerged as the second largest party in parliament. And this has shaken not only the political class in Stockholm but liberal elites around the world. It’s a ‘dramatic shift’, says the New York Times. ‘Astonishing’, says Deutsche Welle. An ‘earthquake’, insist leftist observers. They sound like the troops of an embattled army watching their last patch of territory be conquered by the enemy.
How the Far Right Bagged Election Success in Sweden
Campaigning on issues like immigration, religion, crime and the cost of environmental rules, the Sweden Democrats, a party with neo-Nazi roots, grew its support.
STOCKHOLM — Magnus Karlsson, 43, works in information technology and is about to start his own company. Articulate and thoughtful, he follows the news carefully, both in Sweden and globally.
But fed up with what he considers the complacency of the Swedish political establishment toward issues of immigration, crime and inflation, he voted last week for the Sweden Democrats for the first time.
The New York Times is scared.
