Well, a closed gene pool ends up with an inbred, stupid population.

Nonsense. The US did not bring in immigrants to promote diversity.
What made the USA special is that we at one point(I don't honestly know if 'we do' anymore) appreciated immigrants. The reasoning behind this was diversity.

A whole country is not a closed genepool. What a stupid thing to say.
Are you seriously suggesting that my people need genes from an other continent in order to stay healthy?

Interesting but total BS set of stats, how can 'non western' stat for proportion of crime suspects be 4.54, and then in the same stat include actual 'non western' countries be higher? How come it doesn't amount to 100% in total for the set of statistics? You are western or not, surely?

That's because they probably really do breed in.
That's like saying that every Dutch person who has no immigrant blood is born with birth defects. You are full of BS.
It's like saying that Angolans need European genes in order to prevent them from becoming retards. Good luck promoting that.
I think the point of calling these particular ghettos, "no go zones" is because they are getting much larger and they refuse to integrate into the customs of the host country. They are Basically policed by the people who live there, and they will not accept the local police to deal with disputes that these people have with each other based on their own cultural traditions. Therefor the police get pushed out, they are not welcome. Hence a no go zone. It may not be a permanent situation, but in some cases these areas are hot for weeks.

But you are talking about it like you have first hand information that contradicts this news story.
No. I'm just doubting the claims in the OP because they sound sensational and come from a perspective that isn't directly from Sweden.
Again. The term "No-Go Zone" is political buzzword speak for "ghetto". But if you were to just call them ghettos, the term loses all its emotional charge because we all know that ghettos, while dangerous, aren't country destabilizing zones. It also puts the policing troubles in better perspective since we here in the states understand how ghettos work and the corresponding policing problems that go along with them. Again, this isn't indicative of a country in crisis though.
I live in a medium sized American town, and there are def places close to me that i will not go without protection. There are neighborhoods where the color of my skin will get me beat down if not killed. You might be braver, but i know i can take you to places here where you will not go without fighting. Sometimes these whole neighborhoods get fired up over some dispute and the local PD tells folks to avoid these parts of town. It is not hard to believe that this happens in other countries too. It pretty much happens everywhere. But lets ignore it in sweden because Trump talked about it.

You spoke about using logical fallacies, yet now you're making it a point to imply (and have outright stated concerning yourself) that one doesn't live in the location, it shouldn't be our concern.
This is a massive logical fallacy, and you're showing the reality that you refuse to learn from the mistakes of other countries.
Just a question: Why do you nearly always insist on destroying a thread with your apologist rantings? That is a sincere question to which I'd like an answer, if you're willing.

Exaggerate claims to a ridiculous degree with a possible kernel of truth at the center. Usually using some form of logical fallacy. Likely a slippery slope fallacy.
For instance. The term "No-Go Zone" is political buzzword (sensationalism) for "ghetto". We have them here in the states and while troublesome don't tear your country apart.
This isn't the political mud pit.

Meaning what? Everyone should be super nice to you as not to hurt your fragile emotional equilibrium?
The word apologist is a profanity?
