This is my surprised face - middle eastern refugees

I not surprised and neither am I surprised that the Swedish are falling for it hook line and sinker - these stories are what they want to hear. A classic case of Confirmation Bias.
From Breitbart:

Migrants Buying Ready-Made Fake ‘Cover Stories’ To Fool Authorities In Approving Asylum Claims
People smugglers and others have been selling asylum seekers “fake stories” in order to better improve their chances of getting a positive asylum claim in Europe.
A new report claims that asylum seekers from Iran have been buying cover stories from at least three separate websites to fool Swedish authorities into thinking they were being politically oppressed by the Iranian regime Sveriges Radio reports.

The Swedish broadcaster spoke to a man who they named Hamid who claimed that the website had sold him a package that included a regime-critical blog that had been up for several years in order to improve his asylum chances.

According to Hamid, the ploy worked as he was granted residency by the Swedish government after presenting them with his “cover story.”

“I was able to buy a regime-critical blog that has been active for several years. I had to take it over and then they helped me to update it as if it had always been mine,” he said.

The cost of a full package backstory costs around £5,350 according to those behind the websites. Reporters from the radio programme Ekot spoke to an individual about buying not only cover stories but visas to Sweden as well.

It is trivial to back-date a blog entry and there are many blogging sites that are free to use - they cover their costs by running advertising. Come here for the free food stamps, subsidised housing, welfare payments. Stay for the jihad.
