Why recent political views on anti-immigration and muslims growing rapidly?
I cannot speak for Sweden or Denmark and or even ALL Americans, but you know years ago when people immigrated to the US, they did so with the intentions of becoming American and most came legally. Today there are more illegals than legals and most of the illegals do not want to assimilate and become American. Then dealing with Islam, when a religions stated intention is to kill all of the infidels (which by being a Christian and an American, I am) it is difficult to ignore the thousands upon thousands of murders committed by Muslims in the name of Islam. So I do not see it as racism to be concerned about the actions of people and keeping a wary eye on them.
