Riots for five consecutive nights in Stockholm, Sweden, are
raising many question marks about the so-called Nordic social model. This is
now a hotly debated theme in Brussels and other cities of Europe. People are
just coming to the conclusion that the model only worked when such societies
remained closed to the outside world, ethnically homogeneous, small in numbers
and rich in natural resources.
The “Nanny States” they have created led to a citizenry that
is over-protected, mild in their ambitions and alien to the rest of the planet.
They only feel comfortable among themselves.
But, these are also very generous societies. They have
accepted large number of refugees coming from Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan and
other troubled parts of the world. The problem is that they and specially their
children do not fit in societies that have always been based on blond hair and
light eyes.
