Don't act gay in Malmo, don't wear revealing clothes and especially don't be a Jew here
Saying “you’re an islamaphobe”is a cop out way to not face the real issue, but crime in malmo is a real issue and there is a real issue surrounding immigrants in Sweden
1) Quite worring to know this city has segregation of immigrants - it means they are against integration to society to the point they has to be localized away from locals;
2) Maybe numbeo just deletes comments by islamophobes, but the only mentions of muslims here from commenters saying "The city is fine, you bigots" - anyone else just complains how they don't feel safe in the city.
Well I cannot believe your a human, you deserve no place for humanity and your just a shame.
Actually its one of the best.
So wrong and false, that you litterly think that Malmö should not be in europe.
Like, A person said that ''Was attacked by zookeepers who mistaked me for a monkey''. What? Swedish people are very smart, why would they think you were a monkey, humans are smart.
And another commment said ''I cannot believe this city is in Europe'' You have clearly never visited Sweden in your life.
Americans are so dumb to understand.
Shame on Sweden for allowing this to happen.
Figures from the 2013 Swedish Crime Survey (SCS) show that exposure to crime decreased from 2005 to 2013.[4] Since 2014 there has been an increase in exposure to some categories of crimes, including fraud, some property crime and sexual offences according to the 2016 SCS.[5] Crimes falling under threats, harassment, assault and robbery continued to climb through 2018.[6] The increase in reports of sexual offenses is, in part, due to campaigns to encourage reporting, combined with changes to the laws that broadened the legal definition the definition of rape.[7]
Violence (both lethal and non-lethal) has been on a downward trend the last 25 years.[7] The figures for fraud and property damage (excluding car theft) are in contrast with the numbers of reported crimes under such categories which have remained roughly constant over the period 2014–16.[8] The number of reported sexual offences clearly reflect the figures in the 2016 SCS, and car related damages/theft are also somewhat reflected.[9][10] The number of convictions up to 2013 has remained between 110,000 and 130,000 in the 2000s — a decrease since the 1970s, when they numbered around 300,000 — despite the population growth.[11] Consistent with other Western countries in the postwar era, the number of reported crimes has increased when measured from the 1950s; which can be explained by a number of factors, such as statistical and legislative changes and increased public willingness to report crime.[12]
Now yes, Malmo has some big issues, but it is literally the most dangerous city in Sweden
