On Tuesday, I blogged about the explosive numbers of Syrian refugees — now two million — after several years of war but before General Obama’s military strikes. Surely more chaos in the region will cause even more people to flee the danger, and become refugees. One might reasonably fear an Obama decision to admit kazillions of Muslim Syrians to this country to demonstrate his enormous benevolence to the diverse downtrodden of the world.

But the offer from Sweden for resettlement of any and all Syrian refugees is crazy-generous.

Sweden’s 2012 census counted 9,555,893 residents of the nation. An influx of a million Syrian refugees (only half of the number reported) would overwhelm Swedish society with an alien, unfriendly culture.

Sweden already has trouble with violent Muslims who don’t want to assimilate to Western values. In May, rowdy “youths” rioted in Stockholm for five nights. In 2010, a Muslim suicide bomber struck Stockholm, and in immigrant-thick Malmo, firemen need police protection to fight fires in Muslim neighborhoods. Importing a huge glut of Islamic unfriendlies at one time seems suicidal.

RefugeeResettlementWatch has noted US-based resettlement professionals gleefully contemplating mucho thousands of Syrians coming to this country. But hopefully the offer of Sweden — which is closer and is famous for generous welfare benefits — will prove irresistible. It would be better for all concerned if wealthy Arab states like Saudi and the Gulf states would open their doors, but that’s not happening.
