UK’s Home Secretary: Multiculturalism has ‘failed’

and threatens social cohesion

SEP 28, 2023 8:00 AM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

Suella Braverman has never wavered in telling the truth, even under severe criticism. See HERE and HERE. However, her party and country are run by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who — like his predecessor Boris Johnson — has demonstrated no will to tackle the flood of illegal migrants that have invaded Britain, and continue to do so daily via the English Channel. Nonetheless, Braverman still advances a strong anti-globalist message, which seems to be out of sync with her party’s actions. For some reason, however, Braverman is still tolerated within her party, perhaps to calm the party’s conservative base. It remains a deep mystery why the Sunak government refuses to act in the best interests of Britain, and in accordance with conservative values.

Braverman’s speech was undoubtedly praiseworthy, particularly when she notes that “multiculturalism makes no demands of the incomer to integrate. It has failed because it allowed people to come to our society and live parallel lives in it. They could be in the society but not of the society.”

Most important, however, is the question of what her party intends to do about this, if anything. In Italy, right wing/conservative Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni bemoans suicidal immigration policies and hails the importance of protecting Italy’s culture, yet she has done nothing to stop the migrant influx.

Braverman: Multiculturalism has ‘failed’ and threatens security

Sophie Wingate, Independent, September 26, 2023:

Suella Braverman has declared that multiculturalism has “failed” in Europe and threatens social cohesion in the nation state.

The Home Secretary, giving a speech on migration in the United States, said a “misguided dogma of multiculturalism” has allowed people to come to the UK with the aim of “undermining the stability and threatening the security of society”.

Setting out the “civic argument” against illegal migration, Ms Braverman said: “Uncontrolled immigration, inadequate integration and a misguided dogma of multiculturalism have proven a toxic combination for Europe over the last few decades.

“Multiculturalism makes no demands of the incomer to integrate. It has failed because it allowed people to come to our society and live parallel lives in it. They could be in the society but not of the society.

“And, in extreme cases, they could pursue lives aimed at undermining the stability and threatening the security of society.”

She said “the consequence of that failure” are evident “on the streets of cities all over Europe,” pointing to clashes in Leicester as an example….

Sweden: Two explosions rip through Stockholm,

Turkish Muslim gang implicated

SEP 28, 2023 11:00 AM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

In 2020, Jihad Watch reported that Muslim migrant gangs were terrorizing Sweden with bombings and murders. It hasn’t gotten any better. If anything, it has gotten worse. As a result, amid soaring violent crime in late June, Sweden’s prime minister vowed to change his country’s migration policy to the “EU’s strictest.”

Ever since the former leftist government of Sweden opened the doors in a big welcome to all migrants, Sweden hasn’t been the same — from no-go-zones and sharia patrols to jihad threats and violent crime.

The previous Leftist government handed the present conservative-leaning government a near-impossible task. The once-peaceful country may never be the same, unless Sweden begins massive deportations,

In Sweden, 2 explosions rip through dwellings and at least 1 is reportedly

connected to a gang feud

Associated Press, September 26, 2023:

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Two powerful explosions ripped through dwellings in central Sweden overnight, injuring at least three people and damaging buildings, with bricks and window sections left spread outside.

Late on Monday, an explosion occurred in Hasselby, a suburb of the capital, Stockholm. In the early hours of Tuesday, a blast in Linkoping, some 175 kilometers (110 miles) to the southwest, ripped the facade off a three-story building, leaving debris strewn across a parking area.

It was not known whether the blasts were related to each other.

Swedish newspaper Expressen said Tuesday that both explosions were connected to a feud between criminal gangs, a growing problem in Sweden with drive-by shootings and bombings. Two gangs — one led by a Swedish-Turkish dual national who lives in Turkey, the other by his former lieutenant — are reportedly fighting over drugs and weapons.

So far this year, there have been 261 shootings, killing 36 people and injuring 73….

2nd Explosion Rocks Malmo, Sweden in Less Than a Week

Another explosion has rocked the Swedish city of Malmo, just days after a grenade attack directly targeted a police station.

No injuries have been reported in the blast that happened around 9pm local time outside a restaurant located in an office building in the Rosengard city district, police said. The facade of the building was damaged in the explosion, the Aftonbladet reported.

Police secured the area and a bomb squad was sent to the scene. An Audi was seen close to the area moments before the blast, according to reports.

The office building is located near the police station in Rosengard where an explosion rang out Wednesday. Several cars were damaged when an assailant detonated a hand grenade outside a precinct.

Malmo waterfront

Rosengard is one of the locations in Sweden described as “a geographically-defined area characterized by a low socio-economic status where criminals have an impact on the local community.” Authorities have long struggled to quell the violence associated with conflicts erupting between various gangs and ethnic groups in recent years.

Rosengård is to a high degree populated by minorities. In 1972, the percentage of immigrants was around 18%, with the majority of inhabitants being working-class people from rural Sweden. Since 1974, there has been a "white flight" out of the suburb as more immigrants were assigned there. By 2012, the figure for those of "immigrant background" was given as 86%.

In other words, it is rapidly becoming a 'no-go zone' right in the middle of Malmo, Sweden's 3rd largest city. Stefan's legacy?

So far, they seem to be just practicing. I fear much worse is yet to come.

Two weeks ago on January 7, an explosion at a suburban Stockholm subway station left a man dead after he picked up a hand grenade which exploded in his hand. A 45-year-old woman was also injured in the blast.

16 Cars Torched Overnight in Malmo, Swedish Police Puzzled for Motive

Maybe the police need some serious help

Sixteen cars have been set alight overnight in Malmo, taking the total number of arson attacks in the Swedish city to over 70 since July 1. Despite calling in reinforcements, police still have not been able to catch any of the perpetrators.

The vehicles were torched at various locations around the city, with the first reports of arson attacks taking place at 20:00 local time. Within an hour nine cars were left burnt out in various neighborhoods. 

“All our stations are overloaded and the whole of the Malmo force is out extinguishing the car fires,” fire commander Magnus Johansson told SVT. “It is a burden for our organization, but also for other people who really need our help,” he added.

The burning of cars continued into the early hours of Friday morning, with a further 11 vehicles torched. A total of nine neighborhoods were affected by the arson attacks.

“This kind of pace [of attacks] won’t be sustained indefinitely,” Southern Sweden Police information officer Calle Persson told the TT news agency, as cited by the Local.

Persson added that no disturbances were reported around the locations where the vehicles were set alight, leaving the police scratching their heads about why the spate of arson attacks are taking place.

“A lot of cars have been burned in a short time now. We don’t know why it’s happening right now. We haven’t had any major social unrest,” Malmo police spokesperson Ewa-Gun Westford said, according to the TT agency.

Over 70 cars have now been targeted in arson attacks since July and the city’s police have drafted in a helicopter from Gothenburg to try and help them capture those committing the crimes. So far police have not made any arrests.

Arson attacks have not only taken place on cars. In April, an Arab school in the city was set on fire by arsonists. The perpetrator almost ran over police in his vehicle as he attempted to flee the scene. The school was opened in 1996, with around 300 children attending the learning facility.

Meanwhile in late July, an explosion at an apartment block rocked the center of Malmo. However, the cause of the blast was unclear. 

The city’s police commissioner Mats Karlsson spoke to the Local in the wake of the explosion and said the authorities were “not been able to see any connection to terrorism.”

"It is unclear who is using that apartment, because it is not the people who are registered at the address, but we have an idea of who it might be. It is still very serious, but these incidents are criminals attacking criminals, it's not something directed at outsiders, at ordinary people," he said.

Nevertheless, it was the 31st explosion in Malmo this year. 

In July 2015, Malmo was rocked by four grenade attacks in the space of a week, which continued a pattern of explosions, shootings and arson attacks which had affected Sweden’s third-largest city. Gang violence was once again blamed for these incidents. 

Gang violence is a pretty ambiguous term. What kind of gangs? Criminal gangs, Muslim gangs, right wing extremists? Police have had over a year to get a grip on this and they, apparently, still have no idea who is doing it. Maybe the police need some serious help.

According to statistics provided by the local authorities in 2015, 31 percent of the city’s 300,000 residents were born abroad and nearly 43 percent of residents have a foreign background.

Immigrants have normally come from countries that have been plagued by conflicts, with sizeable migrant groups from Iraq, Syria, the former Yugoslavia and Somalia. Data from the city’s authorities also states that around 20 percent of Malmo’s population is Muslim.

This is from Peter Hammond's book Slavery, Terrorism and Islam. It is a compilation of observations Hammond has made with reference to the percentage of Muslims living in a given country. It may also be somewhat relevant to city populations:

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris , we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections.

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues.

With Malmo being a city not a country, it would appear that they may be functioning at a level closer to 10%. Nevertheless, the 20% level may give us a glimpse of what is coming if massive immigration of Muslims continues.
