But Ms Straaf says it is "not correct" to suggest new arrivals are typically involved in gang networks.

many are perhaps second- or third-generation immigrants

That’s great, so she reckons it’s mainly the offspring of the huge influx of Bosniaks they took in in the 90s during the Balkan conflict rather than the more recent wave of Muslims from even nuttier places in the world. Assuming she’s correct this problem will persist for another 4 or 5 generations at least, assuming no further waves of Muslims to bolster their ranks, and assuming Sweden is still a thing in four or five generations.

And it's only going to get exponentially worse considering Bosniaks are fairly tame as far as Muslims go.

Indeed. But this excuse is common across a lot of Europe and it seems counterintuitive. Attacks in France or U.K., standard response: don’t worry it’s not the recent arrivals, it’s the descendants of the ones who arrived three generations ago. Well that makes it worse surely. If you had to endure unhinged violence from the new arrivals but were confident that it was just a short term thing for the community and their offspring raised in your land would integrate then at least there would be hope. But this is telling you that you previously took on a multigenerational problem and have recently been adding fuel to that fire for generations to come. And this is posited as a scenario with which people should be more comfortable than the alternative. It’s madness!
