Malmö, Sweden: Growing Muslim Influence
CBN ^ | March 16, 2009 | By Dale Hurd

Posted on 07/08/2009 6:10:16 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

MALMO, Sweden -- A few years ago, the London Guardian newspaper called Sweden the most successful society the world has ever known. But Sweden today is being transformed by a large influx of immigrants from the Middle East.

Sweden's third largest city, Malmö, sits just across the water from Copenhagen, Denmark. To visitors, Malmö seems quiet, nice, maybe a little boring; in other words, quintessentially Swedish. But under the surface, Malmö has serious problems.

Click the player to see the report from CBN News Senior Reporter Dale Hurd followed by comments from Pat Robertson.

On Saturday when Israel played Sweden in a Davis cup tennis match in Malmö, an estimated 6,000 Leftists, Arabs, Muslims and anarchists protested the Israeli presence in the city, and hundreds attacked police. Almost no fans were allowed inside to watch the tennis series, because authorities feared disruptions or possible violence against the Israeli team.

Swedish City's Population One-Quarter Muslim

Massive immigration has made Malmö today one quarter Muslim, and stands to transform it into a Muslim majority city within just a few decades. One of the most popular baby names is not Sven, but Mohammed. Pork has been taken off some school menus. Want to learn to drive? You can attend Malmö's own "Jihad Driving School."

But despite Malmö's usually placid appearance, this experiment in multiculturalism has not gone well. In the Rosengaard section of Malmö, a housing project made up primarily of immigrants, fire and emergency workers will no longer enter without police protection.

Unemployment in Rosengaard is reported to be 70 percent. An immigrant-fueled crime wave affects one of every three Malmö families each year. The number of rapes has tripled in 20 years.

“I think the best prediction is that Sweden will have a Muslim majority by 2049, so we know where that country’s going,” he said.


Can this be true?

One would need to look at the statistics in some detail, but it is very plausible. Consider the following:

Muslim population: young and growing-high birth rates relatively low death rates. Population also growing from immigration

Native Swedish population: older, not growing-low birth rates perhaps less than 2.0 children per couple. Few if any Swedes or their descendants who migrated from Sweden are returning to Sweden. One former Swedish citizen who was his country's ambassador to several countries is now a US citizen (a Demorat of course). If former members of the Swedish foreign service are not living in Sweden, it may speak volumes of where the country is going.

Yes, it can be true. It’s happening all over Europe. Immigration and high Muslim birth rates with low native birth rates. Europe may already be too far gone.

It’s hard to believe that these proud and ancient nations are just letting themselves be overwhelmed by immigration. No reason behind it at all. It’s like a deathwish.

This is sickening! So many country’s are showing statistics like these, and to say the least, its getting a little overwhelming. I think something should be done about it...as far as limiting how many can enter the country.

If muslims didn’t make demands in the new countries they migrate to, then maybe it wouldn’t be a problem. But when they expect you to change to accomodate their way of life, then they can kiss the royal rump!

In college I roomed for a year with a guy from Malmo. If he was any indication, Swedish women (and any other Malmoites) are in deep trouble.

I understand exactly what you are saying. It seems like it is a death wish. The political and cultural leaders seem completely oblivious to all of this.

It started I think when Germany brought the guest workers from Turkey to do manual labor Germans would not do. The Turkish workers were not guests-they stayed.
On a smaller scale, thousand of people from Yemen came to Michigan in the early 1960’s to work-as most people know they settled in the Dearborn, Michigan area.

Looks to me like they don’t have to kiss anything. These countries have thrown in the towel and are actually accommodating the takeover.

It’s more than torpor and complacency; the native Swedes have very few if any children (a problem throughout Europe, no children, no future. A declining birth rate equates to depopulation which equates to self-extermination.) One of the popes at the end of the 19th century considered contraception, no matter how primitive it might have been back then (and abortion was not available as a back up and was still illegal throughout the Western, Judeo-Christian world)as “racial suicide.” I guess his words were prophetic, huh?

If 70% of the immigrant population is unemployed, why would you continue to accept immigrants?

My wife and I have had an apartment in Malmo since when we got married there in 1983. When visiting Malmo, we would often go to Copenhagen and take the last ferry from Copenhagen around about midnight. We felt very safe to walk the streets or through the beautiful parks from the harbor to our apartment.

That has changed drastically and we have not been over there since year 2000 and now just three months ago we terminated the agreement for the apartment just for the same reason as referring to this article. They could learn a lot from Denmark who has a much more stricter immigration politic.

But now with the Oresund bridge it isn't necessary to take a ferry between Malmo and Copenhagen.

With high economic productivity and technology we could have lower populations, more natural land, cheaper housing and ultimately more wealth as bequests concentrate. Instead we are allowing immigration to supplant western populations.

Only with continued immigration. No one but the Japanese are trying a reducing young population without immigration, but they are flubbing it with government control of the economy. No society has tried modern technological (productivity) advancement and capitalism, with a declining population. It could work fine — it’s just not being done.

That said, those of us that like having children (myself included), if we were in a vibrant economy would likely have more children than we do, since we’d be able to afford the space and education for them (even homeschooling costs big bucks — it basically takes one of the couple out of the job market). So if our economy and society were truly free — would we have a declining population of children of native born parents? We don’t know.

But we did fine as a country with 200 million — I’m not sure we need 400 million to be successful. We could just be rich, happy and in a less crowded country.

“Comments?”

- Sweden is in many ways (still) a paradise, not only in the PC Multiculturalist sense of being a place where people of all creeds and races can prosper and live in peace together.

In today’s Sweden, I can enjoy a Thai food buffet for a couple of dollars as well as a traditional, hearty, good old Swedish “dagens” (Today’s special) anywhere in my home city.

I wish things to remain this way and as far as food goes, there’s nothing wrong with kebabs and falafels, but perhaps we’ve let too many of well-renowned kebab master chefs in.
