First Some Background On Malmo, Sweden, By Steve Harrigan Of Fox News:

“If we park our car it will be damaged — so we have to go very often in two vehicles, one just to protect the other vehicle,” said Rolf Landgren, a Malmo police officer.

Fear of violence has changed the way police, firemen and emergency workers do their jobs.

Because Sweden has some of the most liberal asylum laws in Europe, one quarter of Malmo’s 250,000 population is now Muslim, changing the face and the idea of what it means to be Swedish. Asylum seekers may bring spouses, brothers and grandparents with them. Civil servants say the city is swamped.

“You have 1,000 students in a Swedish school. How many are Swedes? Two,” said Lars Birgersson, principal of the Rosengrad School.

Students arrive at age 10 or 12 from countries like Iraq, Iran and Lebanon with no knowledge of Swedish; some have never been to school at all and many classes require interpreters.

Still, more than half won’t graduate.

“They are not a part of Swedish society, so to speak. It is difficult for them to get inside society,” said Torsten Elofsson of the Malmo Police Department.

However, they are the most rapidly growing segment of Swedish society — outsiders who are already inside, posing a challenge to legendary Swedish tolerance that has now been stretched to the breaking point.

Malmo’s main mosque was recently set ablaze by arsonists. When firefighters arrived on the scene, they were attacked by stone throwers.

Violence That Started Thursday:

According to Swedish media, including the newspaper Sydvenskan, Police responded to a report that a man was chasing children from outside his Malmo neighborhood with a sword. When the police entered, they were attacked, and buildings were set on fire. ( Pictures above and below are from the actual riots ). Firemen attempting to save the burning buildings were also attacked. The situation is ongoing and I am working on getting all the info.
