KRISTINEHAMN, SWEDEN - Kimmie Ahlen was once seduced by the violent underpinnings of neo-Nazi ideology, but today, alarmed by the spread of populism, he has a new mission - teaching tolerance to young Swedes.
With a blond buzz cut, piercing blue eyes and beefy shoulders chiseled in the gym and boxing ring, Ahlen makes an imposing impression.
The young boy who was once teased by his classmates is long gone, transformed by muscles and tattoos on his fingers and neck.
