The Swedish migrant crime story that Donald Trump didn't tell

Most Swedes recognise immigration is necessary to sustain economic growth, and the recent immigration has been a boon for the economy over the last 10 years.

They are "in uncharted waters now", Booth says. "I don't think they know how to deal with it but my hunch is they're Swedes, they're smart, they're modern, they're humane – they'll figure it out. That's what I hope."

In Malmo, says Booth, the most striking and urgent problem is actually anti-Semitism.

"The Jewish community is being hounded out of the city," he's being told.

Annika Henroth Rothstein is a political columnist for Israel Hayom and the Washington Examiner, based in Stockholm.

She is also the backbone to Horowitz's documentary – he interviewed her on the link between migration and crime, which she has been writing on for some time.

"[It was] adapted to a specific audience," she said of the film, which she said was too "dystopian". "I would not use that tone. I don't use expression like 'the rape capital of the world'. I don't know that to be true.

"There was a lot of hyperbole [from Horowitz] in there. I only stand by what I said… I think the discussion we need to have in Europe - that isn't helped by any kind of hyperbole because the issues are grave enough and the situation is dire enough to stand on its own."

She sticks by what she told Horowitz. She laments that Trump was not clear in the way he talked about it. "His inability to put together coherent sentences is sometimes a little bit frustrating, however, I'm hoping this will result in something positive."

The spotlight is now on something she has been writing on for years, but she says Sweden does not want to talk about: the problems in society caused by migration.

As a Jewish writer she has a particular perspective: her children have been the victims of anti-Semitic attacks at school from Muslim students.

"The facts on the ground are that we have imported a lot of anti-Semitism, that's how I experienced it firsthand."

As she started writing about the issue she realised society was changing more broadly, she said.

Economically the level of migration was unsustainable, due to the country's generous welfare benefits. And she saw a "clash of cultures", a very liberal society with "institutionalised' gender equality that had imported people from areas that were not liberal and did not have the same views on gender and equality.

"The problem is the culture of silence that exists in this country has made sure that we are afraid to educate the people who arrive here, we are afraid to set certain standards, to make certain demands on what it takes to be Swedish."

This was to blame for the level of sexual assaults, she said.

Sexual assaults by migrants were covered up and allowed to "fester" she says.

"My fear, as I see it all over Europe now is we have far-right parties growing, exponentially. They don't even have to campaign because of this and it scares me half to death.

"[Sweden' far-right] party was affiliated with the Nazis during the war but they are now a socially accepted party. I can't blame any of the hundreds of thousands of people who vote for them, who see it as the only alternative because they are desperate and fearful. I recognise that fear in myself because I am fearful when my children are victims of anti-Semitic attacks in their schools and that is not taken as seriously as, for example, someone speaking up against Muslims.

"Society is gung-ho about welcoming all refugees, and they are not accepting that it comes with a set of responsibilities and a set of problems. If we are trying to blend these two cultures then we have to do it actively.

"It is not about scale. This idea that women are getting raped left, right and centre is just not true.

"But I see liberal ideas dying before my eyes because of nervousness, a cowardly attitude towards just dealing openly with affront on human values. That's the problem I'm trying to address."

With the help, in a way, of the leader of the free world.

"Maybe Trump by accident has been able to open the floodgates of something that has needed to be opened for a long time," says Rothstein.

"I hope so. I'm doubtful. But it's really important not to put this on his lap. He is the symptom, he's not the disease."
