They so desperately want it to be true. You get a feeling of genuine sadness when they are proved wrong.That quickly turns to anger as they try to twist half truths and massage stats to support their anti immigration rhetoric.

But I have to ask why are you dismissing the factual content of the crime rates in Sweden? Do you deny there's a problem? What's your angle?
You are right to defend bigotry and racism where it exists but that's not what's being discussed here - in fact that's not the issue at all here.

There's a Times link just above.
That Times link tries to hide the true picture, they say that Sweden is one of the safest countries in the world. That can't be right. Luckily, we have true press, with exact picture what's happening;

https://www.svd.se/svenska-attacker-med-granater-sticker-ut-i-varldenAnvändandet av handgranater bland kriminella i Sverige saknar motstycke i världen bland länder som inte är i krig. Det skriver polisen till regeringen i en delrapport som SvD tagit del av
Google translate:
The use of hand grenades among criminals in Sweden is unprecedented among countries that are not in war. The police writes in a report to the government that SvD has taken part of.
SvD, Svenska Dagbladet:
Format: Tabloid
First issue date: December 18, 1884
Political alignment: Independent Moderate (liberal conservative)
Not really right-wing nutjob wannabees, or infowars.

It's difficult to take those who claim there is seriously when they are so happy to twist, for example, the sexual assault stats (because they know that'll get the best emotional response from people) to suit their anti immigrant agenda.If they were happy to let facts speak for themselves, we could be having a much more productive conversation.
We can infer that the reality does not fit the anti foreigner narrative well enough if they need to make things up.
