Integration Minister Mats Persson (Liberal Party) said on Thursday that an “expert group” was being assembled to obtain “an overview of Islamist infiltration in Sweden.” He added that like France, Sweden faces challenges “regarding integration and countering parallel societal structures that challenge liberal democracy.”
Swedish scholar Magnus Ranstorp praised this as “a very important initiative,” adding that those who have tried “for decades” to highlight the risks of rising Islamism have often done so “against the odds.”
