stokholm burns for further rioting by young immigrants

Stockholm braces for further rioting by young immigrants
Police in Stockholm were prepared for a third consecutive night of rioting by youths in a northwestern suburb as the disorder reopened the debate about how well immigrants are integrated in Sweden. Seven youths were arrested overnight from Monday to Tuesday after cars were set alight and riot police were involved in running clashes in Husby, a suburb with a high level of immigrants, predominantly Muslims. “It is very similar to what we have seen in London or Paris but not yet on that scale.
But it is a sign of a similar problem; it is a sign of failing integration,” said Per Adman, associate professor at Uppsala University. Sweden attracts one of the highest numbers of immigrants in the EU compared with the size of its population. That has led to a fierce debate about their integration, especially as youth unemployment is particularly high among immigrants.
