Iraqi refugees in Sweden

It's ten years since the U.S. led military operation Desert Fox was launched in Iraq. Since then four million Iraqis have fled the country. More than 80,000 have found a safe haven in Sweden, but what are their chances of integrating into Swedish society?

I'm sorry but I need to say that sweden is a country of just 9 millions, 83% swedish! so they can't take all refugees of iraq NO! but I need understand other thing, if UNITED STATES make the war in iraq, why USA don't take all the refugees of iraq and afganistan??? they beginin' the war, then all the refugees it is for them!!!! bye....

Im afraid to say that Sweden is a new and growing moslim country , just like England , Netherlands amongst others. Your leftwing liberal government as well as your people who are too intraverted and dont act against it , are now stuck with them and your standards will fall as you relinquish piece by piece of your constitution. Even your minister(s) wear headscarves now . If your Christian crosses havent gone yet they soon will . Havent they burned enough buildings yet?

@aaliyah44 Because we don't have to and the US government doesn't force yours either. That is a choice of your own liberal government. The US gets the blame for everything bad in the world whether we propitiate it or not. Let me remain you that although Sweden managed to stay neutral during WWII your generation very likely would be subjugated by a NAZI regime. It is your own fault that you take so many refugees, so start taking responsibility for your OWN decisions and stop blaming others.

Man I have never been to Sweden , and I'm not planning too.

Secondly , those are people ravaged by war is it really that awful to give them a hand and help out?!

Believe me when I tell you every Iraqi wishes to go back to his country , but the situations there in the present time is what keeping them out.

I hope you get my point.

Good bless Iraq so you people can leave EU as soon as possible. Go back and build up your country "well educated" covards. Sweden has enough of junk food restaurants so now jobs for you people over here.

haha

non sequitur for a 2 year old comment.

Swedish people are great people and they helped lots of Iraqis and may god bless them for that.

I plead the Swedes not to listen to any racist or ignorant person who is trying to portray the situation as if it's a conspiracy. These are educated people who had to leave the country because of Saddam and the US invasion , they have been oppressed for so long and I'm glad to see some decent people giving them a hand.

God bless.

@Superman10202 Sorry, Sweden was here long before your Wog ass came as an uninvited guest, and it'll exist for a long time after. Time for you to leave, and, yes, we can force you to leave if we make that choice. Get over it and realize that your ass doesn't belong in Europe or in any part of the West. In short, go home!

@rtgoodson for you kind information lam born here and iam tax paying citizen. you fucking swede you people are born racist. no fucker can force anyone to move to Other Country. We immigrants have helped to build this country Since 1970.

@aaliyah44 How about we stop accepting refugees in either country? Honestly, what more can you expect from the US government for Iraq. The country, at the behest of the UN, has sunk trillions of dollars into Iraq, and destroyed our own economy while doing it. Time to move on and get the hell out of there while kicking out the fucking arabs from Europe and the remaining west.
