Australia has to be positive, model example of immigration, but what has happened/happening in Sweden is dire. This is talk of civil war there soon ? 

Yes essentially we are all immigrants one way or another, but there has been changes in the modern world with on going wars and terrorism creating a very different type of migration. Is it sustainable, what are the solutions ?

Why does it work in some places and not others ?

But even as immigration grows in this traditionally homogenous country, Japan appears to be avoiding the organized far-right backlash that has coursed through the West in recent years.

In Europe and the United States, immigration and national identity seemingly consume all politics; in Japan, despite its reputation as closed-off, homogenous, and xenophobic, a large increase in immigration has mostly been met with a shrug. While anti-immigrant sentiments are widespread, they do not run very deep, or so suggests the lack of substantial opposition.

Whenever immigration,education, health systems & the dreaded COVIDDDDD are discussed it’s been rammed down our throats about how wonderful Sweden is doing Shocked

AA. I have never commented on how many Muslims may or may not reside in Japan, let alone the number of mosques.

I think the question is not the one which should asked. It should be does multiculturalism work and the answer is no.

The reason Japan does not have a huge debate about immigration, is because if you move to Japan, you know you either accept being absorbed into the Japanese culture, or you leave. Japan have the right idea, you keep your own culture, but add the good and positive aspects of other cultures to your own.

Everything from cuisine, fashion, language, and all other aspects of culture, adds to the Japanese culture, but the government does not try to shove multiculturalism down the throat of their citizens. 

Every Australian I have spoken to about multiculturalism tells me they do not want multiculturalism. They want a monoculture, and they want to live in a society which absorbs different aspects of other cultures into the Australian monoculture.

If the governments in Australia stopped trying to feel superior by advocating multiculturalism, and just concentrated on immigration issues, then the population might get on board as they have done in Japan!  
Remember, it might take intelligence to be smart , but it takes experience to be wise

2% of Japanese residents are born outside of Japan.

30% of Australian residents are born outside of Australia.

Watching that video on Sweden ,the issues they face are being replicated here in Australia.

1. Immigration: We are taking in up to 500,000 immigrants annually, how many of them come from different cultures and will not integrate in our Australian culture? Some even bring internal grievous from within their former country with them.
2. When they arrived a fair percentage live off welfare to fund that welfare taxes have to be increased
3. Crime gangs: Many head honchos of criminal syndicates recruit young unemployed teenagers to do their dirty work. A perfect example of that was on Tuesday night 300 metres around the corner from my home where a group of teenagers committed an armed burglary.
4. Big government: to meet their financial obligations governments, especially state governments, have to increase taxation, in Victoria land tax has been introduced at a lower threshold for property other than the family home, my water rate usage per kl has risen 13% in the last year, motor registration has been increased, that is to name just a few.
Sadly, unless we restrict our number of immigrants to more manageable numbers ,we will head down the same path as Sweden.
