Muslim AK-47s and Bombings Turn Sweden Into War Zone
[Front Page] This isn’t terrorism. It’s a war. And it’s going on every day in Sweden.

Sweden is reeling from a wave of shootings and bombings with 268 shootings just this year so far. And that's in a country of 10 million people which has crime numbers on par with some American cities.

"Sweden may have the answer to America's gun problem," Vox declared in 2016. Or maybe not.

These shootings aren't being carried out with handguns, but with AK-47s. The weapon so often used as a boogeyman by gun control advocates, but rarely featured in everyday gun violence, is a staple of Sweden’s gang war scene. Along with hand grenades and other explosives rarely seen in America.

A call by the police last year asking gang members to turn in their grenades worked as well as expected.

There have been 187 bomb attacks this year. In just 1 week in August, there were three major bombings. Much of the violence is concentrated in Malmo which experienced 58 bombings in 2017.

Malmo has a sizable immigrant and Muslim population. And it’s a center of gang violence.
In fact, the Muslim immigrant population pretty much is the gang violence problem. Will it be Iraqis, Kurds, Syrians or another Muslim nationality that gets to harvest this lucrative field?
Swedish authorities and its media rarely discuss or name the perpetrators, but the latest shooting left Jaffar Ibrahim, a 15-year-old boy, dead. Jaffar was shot in a Malmo pizzeria and had been part of a family of Syrian refugees who migrated to Sweden in 2016. Services for him were held in a mosque.

#5 Jesus Christ. The richest countries. The smallest, most manageable populations. The most homogeneous demographics. The most liberal cultures. The most magniloquent constitutions.

Not an ounce of fucking sense.

#6 
My great grandfather left Sweden in 1879, but it's still shocking to see what has become of the country.

Agree with #5. If any country should have had everything going for it, it was Sweden. To throw all that away for some passing fashion is just incomprehensible.

#7 ..when you throw away God and make yourself your own god, things have a tendency to 'go down hill'.

#8 not all the gangs in Sweden are moslem but moslem gangs are the ones that are best armed

there is a big Turkish sunni gang and a Syrian sunni gang and an Iraq/Iran shia gang -- a lot of the shooting and bombing is intragang

ethnic self identification in gangs is similar to what happens in the US

#10 The foolish idea -- a mad dream, actually -- of multiculturalism infused by identity politics accounts for most of this.
