So, which were the areas that were included in the completely made up "no go zones", and which are the areas that apparently have live grenades lying around the streets, and gang warfare?

The fact that crime rates across the country are low internationally speaking isn't relevant to the discussion at hand, and actually enhances the notion of a "no go zone". If I have a choice to live/work/play in a whole country that's incredibly safe, or restrict myself to a couple neighbourhoods where crime is exceptionally high, the latter becomes and even stronger "no go zone".

The thing is, even WITHIN the most dangerous areas of the most dangerous cities, homicide is comparatively extremely low to many american cities( St-louis, detroit, or even DC.)

 

It’s called a bad neighborhood. Why invent new terminology just for Sweden?

 

How many cases of live grenades on the streets are there really, now? 

Because Sweden has different standards when it comes to murder than the US. So a slight increase compared to average of the rest of the EU is a pretty big deal. Anyway if that small increase in the national murder rate by 100.000 civilians all take place in a few very concentrated areas you could call them no go zones for EU standards.
