Sweden Burning? Really?

We live in the age of the refugee. Arguably, no country in the West has been more welcoming to refugees over the years than Sweden has.

How then do you explain what happened last month during Easter when Stockholm, Malmö and other cities were racked by riots and violent clashes between police and mostly Muslim young men?

Lars Åberg, one of his country's leading journalists and a prolific author, has thought and written about these questions for years. Listen as he explains what Sweden has done right, but also what it has done wrong.
