This is the best summary I could come up with:


Bomb squad experts have been called in after Swedish cities were rocked by four explosions in an hour, police have said, with the country struggling to rein in a rise of gang-related violence.

Just after 1am local time (midnight BST), police in Gothenburg received reports of two explosions at separate addresses, 10 minutes apart.

“Both sites have been cordoned off and technical investigations are ongoing,” police said, adding that the national bomb squad had been called to the scene.

Sweden has struggled to contain an increase in shootings and bombings in recent years as gangs settle scores fuelled by the drugs trade.

Gothenburg police told Agence France-Presse it was too early to speculate on a motive for the two blasts in the city.

Police have previously said bombs are mainly used to intimidate targets, while shootings are used to kill enemies.

Turns out that a parallel society which barely speaks the native language and doesn't have the same principles leads to ghettos and violent crime.

I'm completely ignorant of the anything Swedish except for clichés, could you elaborate on what you mean ?

I had no idea what that meant either so I googled it.

TL;DR: islamism and right-wing extremism are turning the country into shit.

About 20% of the population was apparently born abroad, and lots of immigrants never properly adapted to the society, so some of them bring islamic values, which clash with developed nations values.

This makes the more feral parts of the society react in counterproductive ways, in other words, right-wingers burning Qur'an books.

Personally, I think Islamic principles do not play well with other societies and letting refugees come in to your country when they practice a religion that beheads you if you draw a picture of their leader is a bad move.

However, I do understand that being targeted by assholes that just want to incite violence, and hate you because you are different, would radicalize a lot of people, specially young and vulnerable ones.

Thanks for the effort and your quality answer !!

But those are multi-cultured bombs, those are good 👍
