Well this is probably too late to make any impact om this story here on ATS. But I would like everyone who reads this to know that the newspaper who published this story, Aftonbladet, is NOT!!! NOT ANYWHERE NEAR!!! a credible newspaper. I live in Sweden and read that paper some times. But I can very rarely take that newspaper seriously. It is common knowledge in Sweden that the newspaper Aftonbladet makes ut stories and has some really horrible pieces of journalism
So please! While Aftonbladet has every right to publish this story it is MOST PROBABLY BS.

Sweden is actually a neutral country when it comes to military battle. Well at least on paper it is supposed to be. Sweden has been neutral through att the battles in Europe for hundreds of years.
We have forces in Afghanistan right now. But I think thats some joint effort where we don't really have much there

Well it could be racism if the article tars a government or whole country for the actions of a few criminals.
Years ago when I lived in Europe I would use this to my advantage. Whenever a native wanted to talk and I didn't I would I would ask what city they were from. They would tell me and ask me where I was from. I would say "Chicago". Without exception, they would [think gangsters and] make some excuse to leave.
