How is Muslim Immigration To Sweden Working Out?

Born a Swede, moved to US and naturalized citizen... I've heard some of the things happening in Sweden and it's extremely sad and scary. When I grew up, it was probably the safest place in our world. It was heaven on Earth. I don't want to move back there with what's going on. Feel bad for my family though.

According to a report by the Swedish news outlet Mitt i, an average of five rapes happens each day in Stockholm. Of the rapes that do occur, only 5 percent of them result in the attacker being sentenced by a criminal court.

It seems to function as a religion as much as any other.
I used to think so. But I have since come to learn that it actually teaches misleading notions of what religion is even supposed to be.

It was quite a surprise really. I assumed for a long time that it was, so to speak, a slightly exotic, Arabic-oriented cousin faith to Christianity. And it really isn't.

Christianity itself isn't a particularly good example of religion, but it still has a much sounder claim than Islaam seems to even aim to ever achieve.

Islaam is all about promoting a makeshift appearance of social commitment by professing solid faith in the truth of Abrahamic monotheism. That is shaky enough for other Abrahamics, but Islaam pretty much insists on taking nothing else seriously, thereby dooming itself to perenial delusions and misguidance.

I can't disagree with the idea that both Christianity and Islam can create social commitments based on shaky existential truths, but ultimately people glean meaning out of both. My concept of religion is that any belief taught rigidly and dogmatically ultimately will fail a good deal of people. It's up to the individual to make what they will out of religion and this appears to occur in Islam considering the many well-adjusted Muslims that live in the West outside the control of the more fundamental and dogmatic versions.

Just looked this up and saw nothing about this being related to Muslim immigrants in several reports. It appears the child found the grenade on a firing range.

What makes you assume this is related to Muslim immigrants?
