Perhaps it is because you are generalizing an entire group of people?

lol by definition you have to generalize.
Come back when you have even an elementary understanding of statistics and population study.

Funny how you simply insult a person's intelligence to elaborate on your point.
Yes, you definitely do make generalizations whenever you are around any form of statistics and data sheets. However, isn't it a bit premature to conclude that the majority of Middle Easterners are violent and 'bad'?
I won't lie- I definitely do find many horrible flaws in the culture of many areas of the Middle East. They aren't exactly the best role model (far from it). At the same time, I chose to examine the article you put and chose to dig deeper: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Sweden#Antisemitism
So we now know that Muslims make up approximately 5% of the population, but were responsible for around 25% of 1.25 million offenses. While I will not remove responsibility off of Middle Easterners, it definitely brings a point that I think needs to be addressed- Is it the Middle easterners who are causing the majority of issues, or the immigrants who are of African origin?
Sweden's population is approximately 9,600,000, meaning there are 960,000 Muslims. What I find interesting is the paragraph discussing the rape issues in Sweden:
"Immigrants discrimination by law enforcement, according to a 2006 government report which may be reflected in the differences between convictions and those simply suspected of crimes.[48] A 2008 Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention report claimed that there was "evidence of discrimination towards individuals of foreign descent in the Swedish judicial system."[49][50] In 2016, Canadian journalist, Doug Saunders, interviewed Jerzy Sarnecki, a criminologist at Stockholm University. He described the claims of Sweden's rape crisis as "very, very extreme exaggeration based on a few isolated events." Sarnecki argued that "the claim that it's related to immigration is more or less not true at all."[51]"
So now we are in a pickle- we definitely know that not all of them are bad, but the ones who are rotten apples aren't a nonexistent amount anymore. Is there truly a way to solve this without banning an entire group of people? I honestly don't think so.
We have given too much attention to extremists and controversial topics. All of this is nothing but fuel for horrible people to rise up and gain power. This is a snowball effect that will not stop until we attack extremists, not try to get rid of them all or defend all of them.
I don't agree with your opinion 100%. yes, Middle Easterners have brought trouble into Sweden and other countries. However, how severe is their damage compared to African immigrants? Also, do you have solution besides welcoming them by the millions or deporting them all? We have now realized neither one will be efficient.
You aren't completely wrong on the situation. However, I think the poor management of the situation has made it quite difficult to truly solve this issue.
