'Islam must adapt to Swedish values or leave': Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch sparks row (youtube.com)
It's happened. 20 years ago we said they should curb what we called ‘mass immigration’ (and were called racists by everyone for mentioning this idea). We said if not, it will go so far the response will either be cultural override or a strong, equally problematic and ugly response from the right (Breivik style without, we might hope, violence). A generation later, this has come about. If it had been a reasonable amount of immigration, they would be enjoyed for their exoticness and different ideas and what they bring to Sweden, but they allowed so many only a strong opposition can happen. Instead of saying, we value our immigrants for the diversity and colour they bring, they have to say ‘get out or adapt.’ The thing is, they're already in the country. And they were invited under very different pretenses and expectations. There was no demand to adapt to Sweden. Now it's just as unfair (but understandable and perhaps basically necessary) to do what Sweden now is doing.
