I am a Swede and can say that SVT is not a trustworthy source of news. Pretty much no swedish media is. SVT is a bit like Fox news but for the left and we have other news groups in Sweden that are like Fox news for the right. That is the state of the Swedish media.<p>SOURCE:
52% voted for the greens (left) and pretty much the overwhelming majority of what's left voted red (left) in a recent scientific poll.<p><a href="http://jmg.gu.se/aktuellt/Nyheter/fulltext//journalist-11.cid1078685" rel="nofollow">http://jmg.gu.se/aktuellt/Nyheter/fulltext//journalist-11.ci...</a>
These sentimental pieces do not help. At this point it's fair to say that europeans know the struggle of (legitimate) refugees.<p>The actual solution is to end the war in Syria, instead of waiting for the rest of the country to flee, and then boast about how humane we are.
My take from the article:<p>1. the "Syrian refugees" are actually very different people with different backgrounds.<p>2. most lived the very calm lives until they lost home and family in the war<p>3. they seem to be trying to adjust to the new life and a new culture. but can you really do that without a job and some Swedish friends?
I read the other day that Sweden had to cancel the Earth Hour event where they turn of lights for an hour because the last time they did in 2015 many gang rapes occurred which were committed by refugees. (even 12 year olds were raped)<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Hour#2016" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Hour#2016</a><p><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3499108/Earth-hour-cancelled-migrant-rape-Swedish-town-refuses-turn-lights-protect-women-attacks.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3499108/Earth-hour-c...</a><p>That's what you get when you let young women decide on anything related to the nations security. They are the one's who were holding the "refugees are welcome" signs, they are the ones who overwhelmingly vote for Socialists.<p>I live by the way in the EU so I'm also affected by all of this. Some might say it's heartless but if I saw today a women getting raped or beaten by a refugee on the streets I wouldn't even help her. A year ago she was likely one of those who was calling people like me (I'm against inviting millions to come to the EU like Merkel did) a racist in order to shut us up. Now live with the consequences.
It is hard to understand the hard situation that this people has, and is still, living.<p>But when I read about how this guy says "As a child, I used to watch a cartoon on TV. The show featured the main character Nils and his friend Mårten the goose." I can feel totally related to him. It is just a TV cartoon, but it is also a treasured memory of Sweden that I had as a kid.<p>It is worth reading the stories of this people and thanks to this article it is easier to truly feel their humanity.
Why should Europe feel responsible for these people ?
Europe has a ton of problems with roma people and the poor. Why should a newly integrated Syrian cook should earn more than a middle aged women in Romania ?
The Swedish press and government will publish anything positive about Syrians in Sweden. But they will not publish anything about the massive increase in rapes.
