Islam not integrating in Sweden

Sweden struggles to integrate Muslim immigrants: "Once a thriving industrial town with full employment, Malmoe has seen many of its plants shut down since the 1990s. That, combined with a never-ending stream of foreigners arriving, has led to rising juvenile delinquency and rampant unemployment.

Of the town's 280,000 inhabitants, a third are foreigners and 60,000 are Muslims.

'We are an open city. We see these immigrants as a resource for our society,' Malmoe's Social Democratic mayor Ilmar Reepalu told AFP.

'The problem is that we have welcomed too many immigrants at the same time,' he said, pointing out that last year Malmoe took in more Iraqi asylum-seekers than Germany, Spain, France and Italy combined."
