Sweden Accuses Iran of Sending Thousands of Texts Calling for Revenge After Quran Burnings

Swedish authorities said on Sept. 24 that Iran was responsible for hacking into a messaging service and sending thousands of text messages urging people in the country to seek revenge for the 2023 Quran burnings.

The cyberattack was carried out by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which hacked into a Swedish company that runs a major SMS service and sent “15,000 text messages in Swedish” in response to a series of public burnings of the Islamic central religious text in August 2023, according to officials in Stockholm.

Sweden offers immigrants £26,000 to return home

Sweden has announced that it will pay immigrants up to £26,000 to return to their native countries, raising the existing financial incentive by a factor of more than 30.

The Nordic country, which from the 1970s to the 2010s prided itself on having some of the world’s most liberal asylum and integration policies, is going through a “paradigm shift” in its approach, according to its migration minister.

Swedish Study of Gun Violence Ignores Migration, Ethnicity of Shooters

A report from Sweden’s Crime Prevention Council (BRÅ), commissioned by the government to study the increase in gun violence, completely fails to consider mass migration or the ethnicity or culture of shooters in its analysis.

Henrik Angerbrandt, one of the authors behind the study, told news outlet Samnytt that the study did not include the background of perpetrators as it was not considered interesting for the report: “We have not looked at the individual level. We have not looked at foreign backgrounds, and we have generally not examined socioeconomic factors.”

‘Success:’ Sweden Has ‘Net Emigration’ for the First Time in 50 Years

For decades, Sweden had been known as the destination for non-European immigrants because of its welcoming culture and perhaps overly generous welfare system. But now that era seems to be ending. The Swedish Ministry of Justice recently announced that Sweden is on track to register the lowest total number of asylum seekers this year since 1997, having already reached ‘net emigration’ for the first time in half a century, meaning that more people left in 2024 than arrived.

Sweden’s ‘snitch law’ immigration plan prompts alarm among usual suspects

Sweden’s ‘snitch law’ immigration plan prompts alarm across society

Doctors, social workers and librarians are among those in Sweden who have sounded the alarm over a proposal being explored by a government-appointed committee that would force public sector workers to report undocumented people to authorities.

The proposal – which has been referred to as the “snitch law” by some – was among the many measures included in a 2022 agreement struck between four rightwing parties in the country. The deal paved the way for a coalition government involving three centre-right parties with parliamentary support from the far-right anti-immigration Sweden Democrats (SD).

Sweden is turning into Europe’s Islamist hotspot

The threat of IS has been growing; not just in Europe, but the rest of the world too. This year, there has been an increasing number of foiled plots and threats that are coming from Islamic State networks in Africa.
