'Diamant Salihu'.

Journalist was born in Kosovo. :') It's always an immigrant journalist that writes about these things in notoriously racist-against-Swedes Sweden.

For the story he has pursued for the last decade is, in effect, one giant, unsolved murder mystery: why has Sweden, long the envy of the rest of Europe for its peace and prosperity, suddenly seeing so many gangland killings?

Why, in a land that prides itself on welcoming migrants, are so many gang members from migrant communities? And is it Swedish society that is the ultimate culprit, or the migrant communities themselves?

rofl, proglodytes gonna proglodyte.

Society has become much more segregated. Swedes welcome people from every corner of the world, but don’t actually want to live with them as neighbours.”

I wonder why.

Salihu doesn’t blame it all on racism, however. In his new book, for example, he writes of gang-plagued areas where single mothers are often raising eight children alone. Many gang members he interviews, meanwhile, don’t blame society or their parents, but “actively choose their lifestyle”. “They’ve had all the opportunities, with siblings who’ve graduated and got good jobs, yet still they’ve chosen the bad path.”

lol

To complicate matters, many gangsters also have bolt-holes in the Middle East, where family connections sometimes shield them from arrest. Al-Jubouri issued his “comeback” video from Iraq, while Foxtrot’s leader, Rawa “The Fox” Majid, fled to Turkey six years ago, taking citizenship to avoid extradition. He reportedly owned a luxury flat in Istanbul, from where he continued to wage gang feuds remotely before then apparently fleeing to Iran.

'Bolt-holes in the Middle East'

But while Sweden’s gun killings have now dipped – last year saw 45 – Salihu fears the underlying cause for the violence continues to lurk. He also points out that the gang footsoldiers are now attracting far more dangerous paymasters than common criminals. A year ago, Swedish officials accused Iran of recruiting local gang members for attacks on Israeli interests in Europe, including Israel’s Stockholm Embassy, where a live grenade was found in the grounds.

The situation escalated to the point where these criminal organizations are being used by Iran as a foreign mercenary army inside Europe. :')

Swedenese must be a special kind of logic.
