Muslims are a category that is not included in the population statistics. The (1998:204) Act on Personal Information (Personuppgiftslagen) contains the general rules on the right to register personal information. There is a general prohibition to register (among other things) such “sensitive personal information” as ethnicity, religion or other belief and information concerning health and sexual life including sexual orientation." Therefore it’s not easy to assess how many muslims are in Sweden. Source: Personuppgiftslagen (1998:204), http://www.notisum.se/rnp/sls/lag/19980204.htm |
