I think far right neo nazi's are idiots, but I don't entirely agree with the multicultural society either. The new rise of the far right was to expected with Europe for the first time ever being a place people migrate to and not from, also lots of internal migration for the first time ever. If you want to peer into the future just look at the USA, even a 100 years after they arrived people are still being made out to be irish, italian, polish etc. Conflict is a characteristic of migration.
On one hand I am all for freedom of people moving wherever, doing whatever to improve their lives. Nobody is "stealing" jobs. You can't "steal" a job. But it is very frustrating to see rise of crime, people not being able to speak properly in the language of the country they are in (or English even) and people behaving generely against the culture you were raised in.
I also really, deeply, hate the sense of entitlement some people in rich countries have. They think (usually poor, uneducated people, nazi types who are of no added value) that they are entitled to shit by birthright. Makes me furious. But it's logical ofcourse, since the foreigner are doing the same labour as them.
Situation reminds me of American history, where in the South the landowners riled up the populace against the blacks, when in fact the poor southerners had more in common with black slaves then with the white landowners that were exploiting both.
Here is the thing, multiculturalism is nothing new in Europe, it's not a failed project as some people like to think of it.
When it comes to SD, they claim that they want to keep Sweden Swedish, they want to protect the culture from being washed down by Muslims.
Now there are certain things that Jimmie Åkesson has said that I agree with, for example:
Sven: Sweden, the problem as a declining population. Immigration solves this problem. To cope with pensions, we must have high work-age population. Why do you want to reduce immigration?
Jimmie Åkesson: The problem is not shortage of labor, the problem is that the existing workforce is not matched to labor market needs. We currently have close to half a million people in the untapped labor supply, while companies are screaming for workers. We must become better at converting and adapting the workforce to structural change. That Sweden has been good at history, but this government has failed miserably.

Here is their campaign tv commercial when they were running up to the Swedish Parliament.

Now multiculturalism is nothing new in Europe, there has always been several cultures within the countries here, just have a look at the origins of languages here for example.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_languages_of_SwedenIn 1999, the Minority Language Committee of Sweden formally declared five minority languages of Sweden: Finnish, Sami language, Romani, Yiddish, and Meänkieli (Tornedal Finnish).
The minority languages have been legally recognized to protect the cultural and historical heritage of their respective speech communities. These communities are given certain rights on that basis, such as school education in their language, and its use in dealing with governmental agencies.
¤ Standard Finnish:
Standard Finnish has been spoken in Sweden ever since the (then provincial) borders were drawn in the 13th century. Sweden has always had a significant migration to and from Finland.
¤ Meänkieli:
Meänkieli or Tornionlaaksonsuomi or Tornedalian language is spoken by a population in northern Sweden. Meänkieli is not intelligible to Swedes. The number of speakers amount to 50,000 or so.
¤ Sami languages:
The Sami languages are actually not one language, even though they are commonly referred to as such. In Sweden, three Sámi languages are spoken, with the other 7 Sámi languages being spoken in Norway, Russia and Finland.
The history of the Sami languages can be traced back at least 2,000 years. In total, they are spoken by a minimum of 40,000 people throughout the four countries.
As a minority language, Sami may be used in government agencies, courts, preschools and nursing homes in the municipalities where it is most common: Arjeplog, Gällivare, Jokkmokk and Kiruna and its immediate neighbourhood.
¤ Romani
Romani chib, the language of Romani people (Gypsies), has been spoken in Sweden since the 16th century. Today about 9,500 people speak it in Sweden. It does not have a geographical center, but is considered to be of historical importance.
¤ Yiddish
Yiddish was historically a common language of Ashkenazi (Central and Eastern European) Jews. The first Jews were permitted to reside in Sweden during the late 18th century. The population has since grown to 20,000, of which an estimated 3,000 speak Yiddish.
Romani and Yiddish have the position of "historical minority languages" throughout the country, and thus the Swedish state acknowledges a certain obligation to preserve them.
Now let's have a look at the culture:Sweden Democrats to restrict immigration sharply since "the multicultural social order" is said to threaten the Swedish welfare model. The party wants to "safeguard the Swedish cultural heritage and the Swedes' right to develop their culture on their own terms."
What is meant by "the Swedish cultural heritage"? Perhaps we think of Astrid Lindgren. If the SD's party leader Jimmie Åkesson looking through her books, he finds drawings of Ilon Wikland, who is a refugee from Estonia. Åkesson singing "Ida's summer show" he does it to a melody composed by Georg Riedel, who was born in Czechoslovakia.
An orthodox sverigedemokrat is probably royalist. The Swedish ruler length has not added a drop of Swedish blood since Frenchman Jean Baptiste Bernadotte became king 1818th Silvia is the fifteenth Swedish queen who was born in Germany.
Particular to the Swedish history - and the Swedish heritage - is that we have always received valuable impulses from immigrants. The first Swedish coins were issued by the English master of the mint in Sigtuna just over a thousand years ago. The Swedish city system was built up by German businessmen in the Middle Ages. Louis De Geer, who was born in Liege, created during the 1600s the first major Swedish export industries.
The Swedish government was built up by foreign experts. Conrad von Pyhy was a German advisor to King Gustav Vasa and laid the foundation for government offices and the judiciary. That the Swedish state finances are in such good order, we can partly thank the Dutch businessman Abraham Cabiljau for. He was summoned by King Gustav II Adolf to settle government accounts. He introduced "the sincere arithmetic", then double-Italian book, which was groundbreaking for Sweden.
Rows of well-known Swedish companies have been created by immigrants, including ABBA and Ballograf, Becker and Bukowski, Bonnier and Gleerups, Cloetta and Marabou, Felix and Findus, Göteborgs Kex and Göteborgs-Posten, Svenska Handelsbanken and Swedbank, Hoganas and Perstorp, Expressen and Swedish Film Institute, as well as Sweden's largest company, Securitas.
Among today's active entrepreneurs, we have such Fernado Di Luca. He came from Italy as a tourist immigrants in 1961 and founded the food company Zeta. Before he launched the olive oil in food shops could only buy it as a laxative in the pharmacy. Akbar Seddigh from Iran have made great efforts in the medical industry.
The recording Scheduler Dorotea Bromberg came as a refugee from Poland, and has introduced several prospective Nobel Prize winners in Sweden. Indian Bicky Chakraborty has saved a number of fine old Swedish city hotel through his company Elite Hotels - where you can really tell someone who cares the Swedish cultural heritage.

What is new is Islam, and that's who people are really referring to.Now to immigration:
Population Statistics:Sweden household census 1990 ........... Sweden household census 2005

..................

DemographicsAs of 2010, 1.33 million people or 14.3% of the inhabitants in Sweden were foreign-born. The largest groups were:

The number of Assyrians in Sweden is about 100,000 – 120,000.
Christian Assyrians are in fact the majority of people from Iraq in Sweden.The fastest growing groups of foreign-born residents in Sweden between 2000 and 2010 were the following nationalities:

Now I am not going deny what you mentioned about crime statistics, but that is no reason to single out foreigners, or to be closer to the picture that they are trying to portray, Muslims, and treat them differently. Men are also over represented in crime but that doesn't mean that all men should be treated as potential rapists and criminals.
Islam's culture is unique to the west which is why it stands out, but I do believe that Muslims can coexist with other Europeans. They key here is tolerance from all sides and that is something achieved through education for example and not political parties such as SD.
