The Death of a Swedish Town: How leftist ideals annihilated Molndal.

After delivering his laugh line that Bernie Sanders would make "a good candidate for president -- of Sweden," Senator Marco Rubio declared during the last Republican presidential debate on January 28^th that "We don't want to be Sweden, we want to be the United States of America."

More than simply saying that we do not want to be Sweden, we need to learn from Sweden's tragic mistake of becoming an open border sanctuary country for refugees from some of the most dangerous areas of the world. According to the United Nations Refugee Agency, "between 2010 and 2014 Sweden received, on average, the highest number of asylum-seekers compared to its national population."

Swedes enthusiastically embraced their open door policy as an article of faith. According to an autumn 2014 Eurobarometer survey, "No fewer than 72 percent of Swedes said they were either fairly positive or very positive towards immigration from countries outside the European Union."

In 2015, this open border trend continued.  Sweden welcomed more than 160,000 asylum seekers, which exceeded any other European Union state per capita. This total included 51,338 asylum seekers from Syria, 41,564 from Afghanistan, 20,857 from Iraq and 5,465 from Somalia.

Sweden has paid a very heavy price for its generosity and devotion to leftist ideals. Sweden's social fabric and sense of security are unraveling as a result of a refugee population that has gotten out of control. In the last few months, Sweden has begun to wake up -- but it appears to be too late.

Case in point is the Swedish town of Mölndal. With open arms, the town accepted more unaccompanied refugee minors than anywhere else in Sweden, mainly teenagers whom had arrived in Sweden without their families. Last autumn, the town was welcoming 400 refugee minors every week. The total for all of 2015 exceeded 4000.

However, what may have begun as a well-intentioned humanitarian gesture to provide places to live and support to refugee minors, has caused the town to descend into utter lawlessness. The longtime residents of the town, a suburb of Gothenburg, Sweden's second largest city, do not feel safe anymore for good reason. And the lawlessness has spilled over to Gothenburg itself.

One Gothenburg police officer with more than three decades of experience told MailOnline that there were "violent gangs roaming around the streets and the use of knives and other weapons have become normal, rather than a rarity as it used to be."  Robberies, violent assaults and sexual harassment of girls are becoming more commonplace. The officer identified the gang members as mainly young men from North Africa. "They will do anything to get money -- steal a person's wallet, iPhone, jewellery (sic)," he added. "And then they will attack their victim and kick them half to death."  

Now, after a fatal stabbing, Molndal, the most welcoming place for teenage refugees in Sweden, is beginning to seriously grapple with the tragic consequences of its open door policy. On January 25^th, Molndal became the scene of a brutal murder committed by one of the teenage refugees, a 15-year-old migrant boy from Somalia. He stabbed to death a 22-year-old social worker, Alexandra Mezher, who was working at the care home for unaccompanied refugee minors where her attacker lived. She was trying to restore peace after a knife fight had broken out between her murderer and another immigrant at the residence. The Somali murderer is in police custody and will be tried as an adult, Swedish authorities have announced.

What adds even more poignancy to this tragedy is that Alexandra Mezher was herself of Lebanese-Christian origin. Her parents had migrated to Sweden from Lebanon more than two decades ago, leaving a civil war there behind. But unlike what we are seeing with today's refugees from war-torn regions of the Middle East, North Africa and Afghanistan, Alexandra's parents made something of themselves in their adopted home. And their daughter wanted to give something back to Swedish society by becoming a social worker and helping the newly arrived teenage refugees from North Africa and other faraway places to adjust to their new home. In return, one of those refugees in her care stabbed Alexandra Mezher to death.

Alexandra's mother blamed the Swedish politicians whom had allowed the immigrant situation to get so out of hand:

"We left Lebanon to escape the civil war, the violence and the danger. We came to Sweden where it was safe, to start a family. But it is not safe anymore… She was not just my daughter, she was my angel."

It is little consolation to Ms. Mezher's family that Sweden is finally deciding to deport as many as 80,000 immigrants, nearly half of those whom had entered Sweden seeking asylum last year.  Whether this will be successful, considering that some immigrants are likely in hiding and others are not apt to leave quietly, remains to be seen. However, something meaningful must be done to reverse the tsunami of third world migrants that Sweden's government allowed to engulf their country. Otherwise, a political backlash and increasing violence from anti-immigration protesters will heighten Sweden's already precarious state.

One thing is for sure. We do not want to be Sweden, despite President Obama's lavish praise for that country when he visited Sweden in 2013. In fact, he said he would blend right in politically. He has proven his affinity for Swedish policies in wanting to open the door to admit more refugees from Syria and other troubled countries in the Middle East region without a foolproof vetting system in place.

We have already admitted Muslim immigrants who want to see Sharia law practiced in the United States and freedom of speech suppressed. Somalis, whom the State Department arranged to be resettled in Minnesota, admitted openly in an interview that they were fine with killing anyone who insulted their prophet Muhammad. Dozens have gone abroad to fight with jihadist groups such as ISIS and Al Shabaab. Yet President Obama wants to open our borders wider to admit even more potential jihadists.

Moreover, similar to the crime problem that Molndal has been experiencing from refugee gangs, a sheriff of one county in Minnesota testified to a congressional committee about the "specific emergence of Somali gang-related issues we are having in my county…We are clearly faced with a challenge that requires an innovative approach including new investigative tools and focused resources."

We certainly don't want to see American towns and cities follow down the same destructive path that Mölndal, Sweden embarked upon. But unless President Obama's disastrous immigration policies are stopped in their tracks, we could well be facing a similar fate.

Read all, but I do wonder if Rubio has learned from his error(s).

[hal ogen]

Multiculturalism is a self-loathing desire to commit suicide.

[LMAO]

They say a conservative is a liberal who was mugged.

No greater example of this than what’s happening in Europe.

The problem with all liberal ideas is eventually reality kicks in

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Behold kiddies! A CONQUEST in action; i.e. a sack, rapine, killing. The fruits of egalitarianism, tolerance, pacifism, love, peace, joy, puppies and kitties and for the children. Coming hear soon and covered up(we are a large nation) by the media and sick politicians.

The article avoids mentioning the underlying cause-Islam. -tom

Politicians change their positions for political expediency more often than from conviction.

Alexandra Mezher was herself of Lebanese-Christian origin. Her parents had migrated to Sweden from Lebanon more than two decades ago, leaving a civil war there behind.

Let me get this straight. Lebanese Christian fled Lebanon due to religious warfare among Sunnis and Shiites and Christians, while Christians were being purged from their millennia long-homeland? And she wanted to work with Muslims helping them enter her new country?

Read all, but I do wonder if Rubio has learned from his error(s).

Rube and the other Washington pols and hacks live in the DC Bubble where they're not exposed to crime in the streets and towns and cities being seized by anti-American foreigners.

Thank God the Founders saw fit to provide the 2A. At least we can defend ourselves from the foreign savages.

"No fewer than 72 percent of Swedes said they were either fairly positive or very positive towards immigration from countries outside the European Union."

Perhaps they were thinking of Norway?

[Tennessee Nana]

yeah ironic isn’t it...

she was born in Sweden...she thought she would be working with children...you know elementary school aged...

I read somewhere that she had told someone she wasn’t happy with what she got instead..

these are so called “minors” ...under 21...but “undocumented” so who knows how old they really are...

they are also called “teens” ...a kid used to be a “teen” until he was 20, 21 the age of majority, an adult...

actually in New Amsterdam/NYC of the early 1600s the Dutch went by their homeland age of 25 to determine a male was a man, old enough to marry, and hold positions of local governmental power..

and Obama goes older than that to 26 as the age a “child” can be on their parents health insurance...

so let’s use Obamas choice of age and assume these males are old enough in the US to die for their murders..but prefer to call themselves “minors” so they can commit crimes with impunity...

WELCOME REFUGEES !!!

you better be praying Rubio doesn’t win...

[Boogieman]

“The Somali murderer is in police custody and will be tried as an adult, Swedish authorities have announced.”

Ah, good, so he’ll do about 5 years in a cushier pad than the refugee center.

The problem as I see it with the cancer of ‘multiculturalism’ is that it accentuates and encourages a focus on the differences between people at the expense of consistency and unity in a culture.

Multiculturalism is corrosive, divisive, and destructive. It only has value to those who wish to destroy a culture.

Sollentuna Prison, Sweden

The top-of-the-line prison in Sollentuna includes cells with comfortable mattresses and private bathrooms. After prisoners hit the weight room, they can cook up a meal in the state of the art kitchen before kicking back and watching TV on the couch. Sweden's prison authorities are quick to point out that every square inch of the prison can be seen on a security camera.

She obviously didn’t have the same experience as a Lebanese Christian as Brigitte Gabriel did.

[savagesusie]

For a whole ethnic group of people to commit “Menticide”, (”The Rape of the Mind”/brainwashing) especially forcing it on their children, is so evil. It is very sad. The super elites are forcing this on many people with Marxist tactics of demoralization and rules and regulations which make it impossible for most people to fight back. They are slaves-—they are subjects of an evil irrational demonic, satanic elite—the EU has to be obliterated. Local control is the ONLY system with moral control.

Ask yourself “Why” a whole “herd” (they are godless) of people allow their children’s minds to be ROTTED by the government so they “love” their killers.

They have to return to Christianity—the only rational, just, ethic system in the history of the world (Google Subsidiarity).....but the brainwashing in the culture put in by the Leftists in the 50s doesn’t allow children to believe in the Truth. They are brainwashed and denied Classical Education, so they have tribal minds and believe in the most irrational-—worse that the irrational, vile Muslim beliefs, since they have no core religion anymore. They lost their Soul.

We are watching Nihilism, created in Europe in the 1800s, do its final work. “God is Dead” Without transmission of culture (God) to children—there is no culture. Our schools BANNED Christianity starting in the 40s-—the nihilism and ignorance of our children is great now-—their destruction with the vile German philosophy has almost completed its work in America. Children are so ignorant and dumb—like pagan tribes—look how they are tattooed and pierced-—very satanic mindsets of nihilism. No dignity and respect of the human body and Truth, of God’s Design.

We are denying Classical Christian Education (the ONLY kind which gives us the tools to “think critically” and the Natural Family to embed the correct desires and attitudes (love) into children. Without either, culture will rot since it can’t be transmitted (the love, the beliefs). Only the Natural Christian Family embeds individualism and self-reliance (true self esteem and meaning).

With Socialism (even a little bit) the minds of children ROT. (Solzhenitsyn/Shafarevich) Common Core completely destroys cognitive function and flips Good and Evil. Puts a Marxist, sick, irrational lens on everything (which will kill god). It embeds dependency on the hive/herd (group (non) think). Emotions trump Reason for LIFE.

Socialism teaches slavery, dependence by embedding emotions that fear rejection by the “GROUP”—or authority figure. It is the opposite of Christianity which teaches self-reliance (Trust/Faith only in God/autonomy/Free Will) and Love his Creation and LEARN THE TRUTH. Idleness is SIN, The only “tools” to think come from Real Life experiences (in the real world with mother and father) and with Revelation (proven Wisdom of the Ages). The Socratic Method and the Aristotelian Logic-—all embedded into Christianity because of St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas——(funny thing since Thomism is rejected by the antipope today).

Take charge of your children’s minds and education. The State is destroying them deliberately-—just like they did in Europe since they had a top-down system set in place right after WWII. We had the vile Jimmy Carter and the God-banning demonic irrational SCOTUS which gave the satanists power over our children.

[rlmorel]

Ah. She had no idea, she had never lived under Islam. She only knew Sweden, as her parents went to Sweden before she was born.

One has to wonder if her parents tried to explain things to her, but being educated in a socialist, liberal paradise disabled her ability to hear what they were saying.

[rlmorel]

"...Sweden's prison authorities are quick to point out that every square inch of the prison can be seen on a security camera..."

Sounds like a socialist paradise jobs program to me. Someone has to monitor those surveillance videos, right?

[Gunpowder green]

There are a few points to mention, the jihadi freak who killed Alexandra was a 24 year-old “child”, not 15 as originally reported. The authorities knew it was too dangerous for this woman to work alone at night with these men, but would do nothing. Now her employer refuses to let the staff hold a memorial service for he, because that might offend the refugees.

The Swedish authorities are treating this murdered girl like disposable trash... not even worth recognizing or honoring in death.

Sweden claims that they’ll get rid of up to 80,000 refugees, but the fine print says that they’ll do it over several years, in other words, it isn’t going to happen.
