So now you're just making stuff up huh?

Just doing the same thing you were with your slanty statistics. Turnabout is fair play and all.

They "plummeted" from 24 attacks in 2016 to 16 attacks in 2017.

Congratulations! You got my point. Using loaded language like "highly increased" is a really good way to distort statistics, which is why any credible statistician will immediately call you out when you attempt it.

Also, just gonna let you take a quick gander at the number you posted. 16 attacks. 16. In a country of 10 million people.

You really think this is the great crisis you're desperately trying to paint it as with numbers that low? Again, for comparison, if that was a community in America over 1000 of those people would have been shot and killed in the same timeframe as those 16 attacks took place.

That's more than all the attacks from 2002 to 2012 combined

Alright, here's your next lesson in statistics. I want you to go look up what the phrase "small sample size" means and try and understand its impact when discussing statistical trending. Come back after you've done that and we'll continue our discussion.

Also in reference to you pointing out which ethnic groups are responsible... i made no mention of any specific ethnic groups.

Oh, give the dog whistle a rest, we all know exactly what you mean. Don't be fucking dense.

And, if we want to be really pedantic, you *did* specify an ethnic group, albeit indirectly. See, you didn't claim that the attacks were the results of immigrants, you labelled "refugees" specifically. And where are the refugees coming from that Sweden has taken in over the years that we're talking about? You guessed it - Syria.

You could hide behind wormy language if you'd said "immigrants" and left it at that, but that's not what you said. By labelling it as "refugees", you've specified it as one very specific group of people (and, incidentally, not the ones actually responsible for the attacks).

But I know how you like to make excuses for certain groups of people while using any excuse to attack other groups you perceive as oppressive

Apparently not, because seldom do I discuss people in broad groups - I find it distasteful. Even trying to sort through your dissembling via one of the most mealy-mouthed, non-specific accusations I think I've ever seen, I can say right now that you're lying.
