The issue of sustaining their economic ideology does not stem from Islamists that have immigrated to the country. In the south of Sweden their are many immigrants from all religions and countries that have settled there. Their immigration laws do not always automatically give them permission to work and they are a strain on the resources. However, more Swedish people draw from the coffers than the immigrants. Like many other nations, there is an anti-immigrant sentiment amongst some of the Swedes. They promote themselves as progressive and immigrant friendly when the average Swede may not always agree with this policy (especially older Swedes). There have been clashes and terrorist threats but not so many. Several in Sweden thought that i was from the Middle East and I was treated accordingly. It was an eye-opening experience: 14 yrs of professional education and training, move there to work in their health care system, pay more in tax a month than most of them take home and be systematically discriminated against because I have dark hair and dark eyes. It taught me a lot not to judge based upon a person's appearance or what i may percieve them to be. In another time and place I may have been brought to the nearest tree and hanged because of unfounded hatred based upon my looks and nothing more.

It is an interesting country and the culture is very different. Some things I really like, others I did not. Their commercials are like the superbowl commercials and they are so bloody funny. They are quite clever. I do not know how long they will be able to maintain their "social democracy"SOn Tue, Jun 21, 2011 at 8:36 PM, Travis <baconlard@gmail.com> wrote:
