Going slightly OT here but I'm pretty sure that racism/xenophobia against muslims in Sweden is no worse than elsewhere. I'm not saying things are peachy, but incredible seems like an overstatement in this case.

I don't think so either. Sure we have problems, but we did also accept a much larger stream of refugees than most other countries. Friction isn't unexpected. A lot of xenophobia is between different migrant groups.

If anything, I'm surprised how tolerant this society is.
