I don't think it's true for all Iraqis and I am sorry if my comment has a bit too much stereotypes in it.
One thing I like about this forum is that there is a very low level of politically correct self censorship etc.

But the Iraqis have moved particularly to one city in Sweden (third largest, Malmö). This city is now super violent with shootings, arson and gangs. Stories about crime there is in the paper every day. Regular Swedish people leave. It used to be a place where nothing happened but now it is called "little Baghdad". The impression is very much of violent people.
And bear in mind that the papers are all VERY politically correct and censor this as much as they can, but if somebody blows up a pizza place called "



I realise they are not all super violent, but they are definitely more violent than regular Swedish people.

There is a town where a very large part of the population are Iraqis (courteousy of two Gulf wars, they are refugees)... There are regular shootings in this town, restaurants are put on fire and some horrific murders have taken place. Some groups hate each other simply because they come from different religions or towns in Iraq, so they are sworn enemies. There is talk that there are rapes of local girls etc. Obviously not everyone is guilty, but nothing of this sort happened there before this town became "Iraqi".

And it's not surprising they are violent to be honest. First the long war with Iran, then living under the Saddam regime, then two wars, the second lasting almost a decade.

Since they are already in Sweden I hope they will adjust, but it certainly won't happen overnight.
