‘Multiculturalism failing’: Swedish PM pleas for order as riots engulf Stockholm suburbs
RT ^ | Edited time: May 22, 2013 10:49

Hundreds youths hurling rocks, burning cars and smashing windows for the second day in a row in Stockholm say they are protesting against police brutality and inequality. In Sweden, critics of the multiculturalism policies lash out at immigration laws.

Seven policemen were injured, at least ten cars and countless containers set on fire, and dozens of windows smashed in several heavily immigrant-populated neighborhoods of the Swedish capital on Tuesday.

The police said some 300 people are now taking part in riots, which started in protest against the shooting of a man allegedly armed with a knife in the Stockholm district of Husby. The protesters also cited beatings and ‘discriminative’ derogatory remarks of the officers.

The protester are mainly young, the police said. Of the seven rioters arrested on Tuesday only four were detained, two of them later released, and one turned out to be underage.

All of the men arrested on suspicion of violent rioting and assaulting a public official were aged between 15 and 19, the police said.

Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt on Tuesday commented on the matter, urging a halt to the violence, but acknowledged in the short term that may be unlikely.

“We have groups of young men who think that that they can and should change society with violence. Let’s be clear: This is not okay. We cannot be ruled by violence,” Reinfeldt said as cited by the Local.

He also urged “everyone, including parents and adults” to help restore calm.

“Husby residents must get their neighborhood back,” Reinfeldt stressed, speaking of the district, where around 80 percent of about 11,000 residents are first- or second-generation immigrants. This particular district has seen employment increasing and crime falling in the last seven years, Reinfeldt added, speaking of the “right direction” it has been going.

The world’s MSM does not have the guts to say the word “MUSLIM”.

Diversity is an OBSTACLE to be overcome, not a goal to be achieved.

It does not mention what race or nationally the “youths” are.

I believe that these “youts” congregate in certain places on Friday. They are easily rounded up.

All it says is immigrants so I'm assuming migrant vegetable pickers from Central America?

If you think about it, white liberals have done more damage to western culture then anyone else.

If today's Swedes were more like their ancestors, this would not be a problem...

Never a mention in the article that these are young MUZZIES?

Nothing in this kind of multiculturalism can come to any good.

I want to hear from the only Swede I know here on FR. I want to hear his take on it, and what he's seeing on the ground.

Maybe we can send a battalion of FR's Viking Kitties to aid in restoring order when the riots explode.

If you go to the very bottom of the 1st news accounts posted on FR, you’ll see what appears to me to be a Middle Eastern name. Google Sweden & rape; you should find results indicating a HUGE increase of that crime being committed by Islamics against Scandanavian women for intimidation purposes. This “rioting” was planned just like the various riots in France; the imams were only waiting for a plausible event to blame it on
