Islam In Sweden
Swedish contact with the Muslim world dates back to the 7th–10th centuries, when the Vikings traded with Muslims during the Islamic Golden Age. Since the late 1960s and more recently, Muslim immigration from the Middle East, Balkans and Horn of Africa has impacted the demographics of religion in Sweden, and has been the main driver of the spread of Islam in the country. Islam in Sweden increased at most as a result of high refugee influxes, notably during the Yugoslav Wars and the Somali Civil War in the 1990s, Iraq War in the 2000s and Syrian civil war in the 2010s. The Muslim community in Sweden hails from numerous countries, making it a complex and heterogeneous population.
