"… On a bitingly cold morning in Stockholm, two days ago, I stood among 200 mourners in a Muslim cemetery, set in a magnificent pine forest."
" They had come to bury a 15-year-old Afghan boy who had been shot dead, allegedly by a gangster of the same age."
" Some 2 million immigrants (20 per cent of the entire population), now live in Sweden, often from the most troubled parts of Asia and Africa and the country failed to plan for the immense difficulties of integrating them into society."
"Many of the offspring of these migrants have morphed dangerously into a lost generation who are effectively stateless."
"Though they were born here, many don't feel remotely Swedish, yet have no allegiance to their parents' homelands, either. Their alienation and discontentment smouldered for several years."
"But in recent weeks it has erupted with a terrifying upsurge in ultra-violent gang crime and, with its hand-wringing justice system, which many feel prioritises young offender's rights over those of their victims, Sweden evidently has no fix."
" Twenty years ago, gun crime was almost non-existent here. Today, the grisly murders we see in Scandi-Noir TV series are no longer fictional. Sweden is awash with real-life crime podcasts, documentaries and books."
"Coming soon to Sweden's cinemas (after special screenings for police chiefs, politicians and criminologists) is Bullets, a docu-drama about a 12-year-old Egyptian boy who lobs a grenade at a police car after being lured into a gang."
"In Stockholm alone, 52 gangs are vying for control of the burgeoning drugs trade, according to a recent police report, and they are becoming ever more ruthless."
" Since Christmas, the spree has reached epidemic proportions in the capital, with 30 shootings and bombings, four of them fatal. Half the suspects are aged under 18."
" The inability, or unwillingness, of many newcomers to assimilate into Swedish culture, adopt its values and learn its language has ghettoised many of the Million Programme estates.
A similar housing policy created the grim banlieu suburbs that surround Paris, marginalising the mainly North African immigrants consigned there. Yet the Swedes failed to heed France's mistake.
"Frida Bergqvist, a former social worker who helped families in Rinkeby-Kysta, one of Stockholm's blighted suburbs, witnessed the depressing consequences. She has been told of flats where the children of large families slept on the floor. Schools in these areas are often substandard, she claims, youth unemployment is sky-high, and though the welfare system is famously generous, poverty is rife."
"While Sweden, as a state, opened its arms to incomers, she also saw many Swedish individuals as less than welcoming. This fostered an 'us-and-them' atmosphere of mistrust and stigmatisation."
" The authorities had worsened matters by abandoning these areas, closing police stations, welfare offices, job centres and other public buildings."
" I'm Left-wing but it's different when you work with these kids,' says Ms Bergqvist, who is in her 20s. 'My attitude has changed. The gang leaders are using them [the children] and I don't think they would with a better legal system.' "
"Making an observation that would have been unsayable in Sweden until very recently, she added: 'There are no white kids in these gangs, and you have to ask why? It's not because they are bad, it is because Sweden has failed them. The kids are innocent. It's our politicians who have blood on their hands.' "

The article goes on to state that Sweden's leftist government built a million apartments, mixing blue and white collar families with immigrant families. The Swedes moved out of these apartment blocks, leaving them to the immigrant families.
