Swedish police have recently expanded their list of so-called “vulnerable areas,” where crime and extremism run rampant. RT talked to locals and observers about the problems in these troubled areas, widely known as “no-go zones.” Sixty-one neighborhoods throughout the country were identified in the latest Swedish police report as vulnerable areas, with 23 being categorized as particularly vulnerable, up from 15 last year. These hotspots are “characterized by a low socio-economic status where criminals have an impact on the local community,” according to the police definition.
These deprived neighborhoods have largely immigrant or foreign-born populations, with a higher unemployment rate compared to native Swedes. These neighborhoods also serve as a breeding ground for radicalization and Islamist extremism. According to the Swedish Defense University, 70 percent of jihadi fighters that left Sweden to join Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) terrorists came from these “vulnerable areas.”

Swedish people dont like confrontation, they ignore evreything thats happening around them. They wear blinkers and only see what they are doing. Its the most frustrating thing about living here. There are alot of multicultre areas with very few problems. The areas with the biggest problems are where the muslim immigrants live. The swedish and the muslim immigrants live in the same country as each other , they live in the same citys as eachother, but belive me they are living in different worlds. Something very scary is happening here and for reasons unknown the swedish goverment is allowing it to happen.

Now Europe will die of politeness.
Way to go champs!
When they have guns it's an invasion, not immigration.
In most democratic countries, the media should be critical of those who hold power. In Sweden, however, the media criticize those who criticize the authorities. Criticism is not aimed at the people who hold power, but against private citizens who, according to the journalists, have the "wrong" ideas.
TV4 and all other media refused to report that it was Muslims who interrupted the prime minister because they wanted to force Islamic values on Swedish workplaces. When the Swedish media reported on the event, the public were not told that these "hijab activists" had links with Islamist organizations. Rather, it was reported as if they were completely unknown Muslim girls who only wanted to wear their veils.
The Swedish media are politicized to the extent that they act as a propaganda machine. Through their lies, they have created possibilities for "post-truth politics". Instead of being neutral, the mainstream Swedish media have lied to uphold certain "politically correct" values. One wonders what lifestyle and political stability Sweden will have when no one can know the truth about what is really going on.

This is awful, my entire family live in Europe in three different countries and they keep telling the media is full of it....fancy that...
I have this conundrum and it has something to do with the media sensationalising stories to get people to buy into the "outrage" .
You should know by now the media exaggerates every story they tell.

So the 'live' pictures we see of immigrants (mostly men) landing on the beaches
of Spain and disappearing into the town are manufactured?
The vehicles driving into markets boulavards, pavements and people are only
in peoples imaginations?
The raped women are lying?

How is this possible doesn't Sweden have strict gun laws?
Also, everyone who migrates has really good intentions. Just watch CNN.
"According to the Swedish National Police Agency in 2006, there were a total of 656,000 individuals who had a license for one or more guns;[11] 6.5% of the population. There were 2,032,000 guns or 21 guns per 100 residents. Of the 2,032,000 guns, 959,000 were rifles, 726,000 shotguns, 122,000 combination rifles, 88,000 pistols, 55,000 revolvers, 3,000 automatic guns and 78,000 weapons parts."
