Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Muslim refugee in Sweden: The mosque is half-empty, they all went to Syria to wage jihad

Oct 25, 2014 12:33 pm By Nicolai Sennels

SDpoll(The latest poll from Sweden puts the EU-critical, anti-immigration party, the Swedish Democrats, at 16.7 percent — 4 percent higher than the election just one month ago. And this percentage does not include the 2-3 percent who do not dare to say that they vote SD when asked in polls.)

The author, the Afghan refugee Zulmay Afzali, asks the very relevant question: How is Sweden preparing for this? The fact is that Sweden has made extreme cuts in its military, in order to be able to afford Muslim immigration… If you have time, also watch my friend Kent Ekeroth’s prophetic speech from 2013: http://youtu.be/Qa4LtSgOeao

Translated by Nicolai Sennels for 10news.dk (click to subscribe and donate):

On Friday, 26 September, I attended the usual Friday prayers in a mosque in Norrköping. It’s a pretty small mosque with room for around hundred people. It’s usually so crowded that you stand shoulder to shoulder with your Muslim brothers when performing prayer.

This day was different. I looked around while I listened to the Khutba (Friday sermon). There were 50 people in the prayer room, mostly older men. I turned to my Afghan friend next to me and whispered, “It’s almost just you and me who are younger here. It seems that the younger one have stopped going to the mosque, it feels so empty.” My friend looked at me and said, “But do you not know?” “Know what?” I wondered. “Most have gone to Syria and Iraq for jihad. They have joined the Islamic State.” …

It is almost four years since I came to Sweden to seek asylum and thus protection. What I heard in the mosque made me seriously concerned about the safety of myself and the Swedes. I managed to escape from drug barons and the brutal murderers of the Taliban, but from what I heard this Friday in the half-full mosque, I’m not sure how long I am safe in this country.

What happens when these warriors come back to Sweden? Men who participated in the most cruel and brutal assaults on other people, the civilians in Iraq and Syria. Could they perform jihad also here in Sweden? I see it as an entirely feasible reality. How is Sweden preparing for this?

I became even more worried a few days later, when I spoke with a man I met at the gym in Norrköping. He told me that jihadis, members of the Islamic State, now come to Sweden disguised as asylum seekers. I wondered what they would gain from it. He replied: “When the time comes, they will rise up and call to jihad also here. Zulmay, you must understand that the Islamic State is not a joke, they are real. They send so-called ‘sleeper cells’ into the country and where they are building up their power.”

    You know long ago during the years of the Cold War the communist threat was blown out of all proportion due to propoganda. A report like this back then if it were about communists would be laughable. There was always zero chance of communists doing anything serious from inside against, let alone taking over any modern advanced country. In our modern era things have changed completely and we are in not a Cold War, but a Hot War with Islam. And, unlike the “communist threat” of old, they really HAVE infiltrated and are making plans and carrying them out with deadly results in example after bloody example! And in the most bizarre turn of events of all, the mainstream media and most politicians and powers that be do everything they can to defend and enable this enemy to free peoples, doing everything possible to shut down open discussion of their ideology, motives, and reasons for doing what they do! There was no such insanity when facing the communists way back when. It’s all a strange course of events, but if you follow the money trail where it may lead, we’ll find many players benefiting from this bizarre paradox. And NONE of them are the ordinary citizens of free democratic countries that are being colonized by moslems.

      Violent jihad, it’s in the Koran:

      It is not Islamophobia if they really ARE trying to kill you.

        There is no Islamophobia since a phobia is an irrational fear and for a non-Muslim to fear Muslim jihadists and terrorists is very rational. Also, Islam is a religion and political system, not a race, so to not like Islam is not racism. Several European countries, including Sweden, will be Islamic Republics before the end of the century unless there is a civil war.

      Words from someone who’s ignorance renders his every utterance a load of utter and complete rubbish…… Try studying the cold war, and the antics of the soviets before making an ass out of yourself… whoops, too late!!

      “You know long ago during the years of the Cold War the communist threat was blown out of all proportion due to propoganda.”

      The 60% of Cambodia who remained after Communist Pol Pot was finished would disagree with you.

      The other 40% could not be reached for comment.

    Swedes, wake up. The jihadists will return to blow you up and burn you down.

    They will be more dangerous than ever. Farewell to Sweden. Hello Emirate of New Afghastlistan.

    These guys came to Sweden, full of hunger, they were well received, good food, shelter, work, education for children, free wealth-care, etc… And then they decide to fight against all these good things… Why? Only I can understand these actions by big envious, hate in their hearts to the civilization that shows them that Islam is bullshit….

    If half of the people from this mosque have left to fight for ISIS, then my question is, what was being preached by this mosque that made them join ISIS???

    How ironic. Didn’t Sweden stay out of WW2 because they’re anti war. Now they’re an incubator for savage, radical non Muslim hating scourge.

    Dear Sweden:

    When those Muslim jihadists return – if you let them! – they will start beheading you.

    Be smart and forbid them to return.

      Problem with the PC, pacifist Europe is that they don’t learn fro their mistakes as the muslims run amok & anti-semitism grows. They’re like the Eloi in ‘Time Machine’ the Morlocks come into their groups round up a bunch of them, take them to the underworld for a feast.

    Interesting article, but I have to criticize the accompanying graph. It is incomprehensible and resembles nothing so much as a bizarre little flower garden! No rubrics! Help!

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      The graph seems to be a visual representation of the share of the vote currently held, or recently held, by the various political parties in Sweden. The little images at the top of each column are the symbols of the parties. The Swedish Democrats – who are the most Islamoresistant – are the yellow column, fourth from the left; their symbol is, if I recall correctly, a particular wildflower which is Sweden’s national flower.

        Oct 28, 2014 at 5:09 am

        Thank you, dumbledoresarmy, for your response. Poor Sweden, non? Too little, too late. We in the USA can enjoy a peek at our own future if we really take a hard look at Sweden or the UK or France or Norway or Denmark or Holland…well, I could go on, buy why bother? Dismal. Bloody, freakin’ dismal.

    I love movies. They are instructive as a powerful arm of propagandistic manipulation and, of course, fictional – even many touted as documentaries. NOT to be considered a reliable source of knowledge or education. But they are interesting reflections of the society where they find their markets.

    Movies reveal through fictional dramatic situations and writing certain societal aspects that one might not easily glean from news media and books.

    Lately, I have seen a number of Swedish movies and a television series (“Wallander” – the original one, not the dreadful BBC version that nonetheless also reflects opinion of the Swedish “everyman”) made since 2000, and in them there are indications that a significant number of everyday Swedes are absolutely raging (in their understated, Swedish way) about immigration policies that virtually beg Islamists to come and partake of Swedish largesse and tolerance.

    This has resulted in a wildly escalating crime rate, significant negative economic impact and, finally, a sense of disenfranchisement of a lot of thoughtful Swedes. I suspect that most of Sweden is just hopping mad, like quite a large majority (around 70%, as I recall a recent poll showed) of Americans, about these suicidal policies. And, like these seething Americans (I am one), they feel impotent, powerless to change laws that powerfully impact life and liberty in undeniably negative ways.

    Such is the Utopia (a Swedish word and concept, if I’m not mistaken) the Left has rammed down the throats of thinking people across the world. The Utopia envisioned by the Left is simply totalitarianism in a pink dress.

    • PAthena says

      Oct 26, 2014 at 11:16 pm

      “Utopia” is not a Swedish word but one coined from Greek meaning “no place.” I think it was coined by Sir Thomas More, but I will have to check in the Oxford English Dictionary.

      • quotha raven says

        Oct 26, 2014 at 11:39 pm

        Thanks for the correction. After I posted that about utopia, I thought…hmm…maybe I’m confusing it with “Upsala”. Oops.

        “no place”, huh? How very interesting! I’ll consult my OED as well. Cheers!

    The UN needs to set up a prison nowhere near Europe for these people. When they come back, catch them in the airport then off to jail. Then deny their reentry for good. They should also make a law stating that if a member of the household does this, the household will lose their welfare benefits. These countries need to let them go and not take away their passports. They can stay. This is not going to stop. These Muslims are so ungrateful. Obama is not a patriot to the U.S. he is going to allow this to happen here too.
