I come from Switzerland, we're anyway called racists by the rest of Europe, so who gives a shit? But we are an immigration country, almost 1/3 of our population are foreigners (if we also count the fully integrated ones/2nd/3rd generation who may even have a Swiss passport it's even about 40%).

The first wave of immigrants were Italians (because of a high percentage of unemployment in Italy), the 2nd wave were people from former Jugoslavia (because of the Balkan war), the 3rd wave were/are people from all over Europe (because of business reasons and then settling down/marrying a Swiss). All this groups integrated here in Switzerland very well (for the 2nd wave it took some time). The reason is because we all share a similar European-Christian culture. The only sub-group of the 2nd wave which still causes trouble are those from the Muslim parts like Albania.

Now, the new wave of refugees come from a completely different social background, from a Muslim culture which is hundreds of years behind our culture in development. They can not integrate, it's impossible. It's a fact!

What has this to do with Sweden? Well, although Sweden is much bigger than Switzerland, the size of population is comparable: Sweden has approx. 9 mil. and Switzerland 8 mil.
