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

Sweden’s “immigrant resettlement assistants” fired for recruiting for Islamic State

Feb 23, 2015 10:19 pm By Robert Spencer

ISIL-1Hey, everyone knows that jihadis just need jobs, and then the peaceful, noble souls will lay down their Kalashnikovs and pick up their burger flippers, and these “immigrant resettlement assistants” were getting Muslims jobs — so what’s the big deal? So the job was as a warrior for the Islamic State — details, details!

“Sweden’s national job agency fires its entire network of ‘immigrant resettlement assistants’ over fears they were finding them jobs – as ISIS militants,” by Sara Malm, MailOnline, February 23, 2015 (thanks to all who sent this in):

The Swedish government has been forced shut down an assimilation guide service after discovering that several aides may have been trying to recruit newly arrived immigrants to ISIS.

The assimilation guides, a service provided by the Swedish state job agency, have been accused of taking bribes from migrant job-seekers and making ‘recruitment attempts to militant fighting groups’.

The state job agency, Arbetsformedlingen, has fired the entire network of assimilation guides with immediate effect following the reports.

‘We have received indication that there have been instances of recruitment attempts or contact-making situations related to various militant fighting groups,’ Arbetsformedlingen’s general director Mikael Sjöberg told Expressen.

A spokesman for the state job agency said Saturday that the alleged recruitment drive might be linked to the Islamic State

The ‘immigrant assimilation guides’ were introduced four years ago to aid newly arrived job-seekers and help them integrate into Swedish society by providing a link to their old culture.

The guides have been working for private companies which, in turn, have been hired by the state-run job agency.

Around 32,000 job-seekers currently have a coach assigned under the scheme.

The decision to shut down the program has been made following a noticeable increase in complains from job-seekers, and several indications of criminal activity, including bribes, fraud, blackmail, threats and possible recruitment activity.

‘It’s to do with loans or gifts, like tablets, mobile phones and sometimes cash, in order to get connected to a specific assistant,’ Mr Sjöberg said.

He added that the Minister of State for Employment, Ylva Johansson, and government representatives have been informed.

The Swedish intelligence service, Säpo, has confirmed that they have been contacted by the state job agency, but have yet to launch an investigation….

      Will they face the same type of hypocrisy from the Useless nations as Israel has had?

      So far, I have not seen Saudi Arabia being condemned for building (or starting to build) a wall between Iraq and S. A.

      I think if Israel did not exist, heaven forbid, the Useless nations would have no reason to exist.

    Good to see Swedes have not completely laid aside that old Viking decisiveness, as they fire their “entire network of ‘immigrant resettlement assistants’ over fears they were finding them jobs – as ISIS militants,” It’s a relief to discover that multi-cultural passivity can be overcome! Whew! There may yet be hope for Germany, France, UK, & other Europeans–& even the USA!

      Sweden is done for unless it stems the flood of Muslim immigration. This action, it appears to me, merely changes the faces implementing the inherently suicidal policy.

      Firing the filth was NOT enough. They should have been heavily fined. All of their financial assets seized (everything they own was given to them by Sweden) and kicked back to the hell hole country they came from.

    • Oliver says

      Feb 24, 2015 at 6:38 pm

      Dewdds–I agree with you.

      Also, notice the disconnect-The ‘immigrant assimilation guides’ were introduced four years ago to aid newly arrived job-seekers and help them integrate into Swedish society by providing a link to their old culture.

      Integrate into Swedish society; a link to their old culture.

      Meanwhile, Muslims can have their schools, but an Orthodox Jewish Rabbi, ins Sweden, “liberal” Sweden, is being mercilessly fined for the SEVERE CRIME OF HOME SCHOOLING HIS CHILDREN, AS THERE IS NO RELIGIOUS JEWISH SCHOOL IN THE AREA WHERE HE LIVES.

      But Muslims can have their schools. or home school; and as this points out, as “newly arrived immigrants” and have; tablets; mobile phones and sometimes cash. Obviously, not as poor as one would be led to believe.

    They better have a rock solid case. When you fire somebody in Christian Democratic socialist Europe, the gubmint will decide whether the firing is just, and what the separation costs are to the employer. These unemployed Moslems could be in for hundreds of thousands Kroner each, if they get a sharp trial lawyer.

    It’s kinda like with the Geerts Wilder, Oriana Fallaci and Mark Steyn trials: that you told the truth is irrelevant to the crime, the crime is whether the statement is unpleasant and destabilizing.

      There is no way to fix “stupid”. Europe is lost and our liberals are copying them. Liberals have done a pretty good job of ruining two generations here to.

      • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

        Feb 24, 2015 at 4:47 pm

        I know this is an older thread so you probably won’t see this, but I’m reminded of what Dennis Praeger said in the run up to the 2012 election. He observed how odd it was that America was embarking on the socialist state path even as it was starting to fall apart in Europe, where a high tax centralized power state had enervated the population.

        Me, I attribute that to the apparently limitless power of fictive reality, as packaged and sold by our news entertainment industry, which is just as bent when it comes to Moslems, which is even more dangerous than political economics.

      That is it. It shouldn’t take rock-solid cases to get rid of these miscreants who continuously abuse our human rights to pursue their evil agenda. Human Rights and libertarians must get out of the way until our governments re-establish our traditional values.

    I’m confused. Is Jew hating ISIS or real Islam?

    It’s just not that clear where Obama wants that line drawn.

    Jews need to be killed like all Kafir, it’s just not clear if it’s ISIS or regular Islam that needs to be quoted while cutting their heads off.

    Obama, please guide us in Muslim hatred and violence. You are our leader.

    Oabma, When killing a jew, should we quote regular Islam or must be pretend to only be ISIS?

    Ask most people in government immigration jobs what the ‘Trojan Horse’ was, and I doubt if 5% of them could give you a coherent answer. It used to be that hostile ideologies had to fight their way into your country through a wall of blood and steel. Now, they simply immigrate and live on state support.

    That’s a whimper of resistance, but the dog’s nearly dead. I foresee a time when the dhimmi Swedish Government will allow muslims a years jihad service in the middle east before returning to work in Sweden, employment position guaranteed on return.

    • Matthieu Baudin says

      Feb 24, 2015 at 3:24 am

      Yes I remember Charles. The radical platform of Olaf Palme at the time of his assassination may have created havoc in Sweden at that time however those (democratic and Marxist inspired) reforms were at least reversible. By contrast, what the Swedes are lumped with now is a whole population of non Swedes (and non Europeans) inspired by a backward religious ideology, who feel that they are there to stay through hell or high water.

  11. Matthieu Baudin says

    …”The ‘immigrant assimilation guides’ were introduced four years ago to aid newly arrived job-seekers and help them integrate into Swedish society by providing a link to their old culture.”…

    This is ‘Post Modern Speak’ for ‘jobs with a separate development focus’. Having seen the very notions of assimilation and integration hollowed out over many years, Swedes now have to live in a nest fouled by their self reverentially ‘enlightened’ leadership.

  12. katnis says

    Feb 24, 2015 at 3:18 am

    Is it just me or does it seem like every attempt to assimilate the muslims is an epic failure? I wonder why? Could it be that the muslims don’t want to assimilate???? Could it be that they never had good intentions in the first place? Could it be that they hate us and everything we stand for, and that they don’t appreciate the government programs we set up to support their transition, and that they are just using us for the time being???? When will we learn?

    • Charli Main says

      Feb 24, 2015 at 5:49 am

      Muslims don´t immigrate to assimilate into the culture of the host country, they immigrate to replace the host country culture with Islam and Sharia.
      Unlike other immigrants, Muslim are not looking for the chance of a new life in a new home. Muslims want to turn the host country into a copy of the Muslim shit hole they ran away from.
      Immigration is a religious duty for Muslims–ITS NOT A SEARCH FOR A BETTER LIFE.

  13. Sam says

    Feb 24, 2015 at 5:10 am

    This may not be due to Islam. This maybe due to other factors that need to be studied, studied, and discussed without mention of the religion of peace. During this study moderate Muslims must be protected against Islamophobes. It just can not be Islam damn it!

    • FarmerMike says

      Feb 24, 2015 at 9:20 am

      Yes, Sam; I agree there are “other factors that need to be studied.” But those “other factors” do not at all exonerate Islam, which is a “death cult,” like a venomous snake that has been thrown into our midst.

      Meanwhile, I see those “other factors” as arising from the US managers’ desire to level out capitalism’s “boom & bust” cycles, by adopting the “permanent war economy” model (c. 1950). And then–when the USSR collapsed in 1989– deliberately “allowing” the 9/11 attack on the US in 2001, so that the US would have a new “designated enemy” to annually war against.

      A result is that a corporate state has arisen to manage US & global affairs.

      At the same time, we citizens in the US are also being managed, or dumbed down by the managers of the corporate-owned media, by politicians, by the “core curriculum-type” of education, with the result that most of us cannot handle intelligent discussion & analysis of politics, economics & cultural change. Thanks to Robert Spencer for bringing us JihadWatch, where many of us can begin to publicly air our views, & read others’ views, be criticized, & make replies, & together we gain clarity.

      Why is the corporate state doing this to us? Because the corporate state, & media, etc., are the managers and beneficiaries of the permanent war economy. Who was it that got billions on Wall Street? And who had to bail them out when they couldn’t handle their billions?

      Speaking of inability to handle affairs, it may also be that the corporate managers of the US & global state, have made a miscalculation, have misjudged, & invited too many Islamist jihadists into the House of the West, threatening to bring the whole civilization down by means of the “Third Global Jihad.”

      We cannot afford to be passive sideline observers. We are the target. This is our fight.

      This is why I’m campaigning to impeach Obama, the chief enabler of this Third Jihad.

    The left-wing nut jobs that run Europe seem hell bent on destroying every native European culture through mass immigration. The Jews changed their ways to fit in with us.
    the Muslim colonizers expect the european natives to change are way of life to fit in with them.the only people who gain are treasonist politicians who would sell out their own people and turn their country into a third world dump to stay in power.

    I call it the “Immigration Industry”.
    In Denmark too, but especially in Sweden, immigration has become an industry in its own right.
    Buiding asylum centres, new housing, language, education etc etc, to such a degree that some areas are becoming dependent on the influx of immigrants and the accompagnying state subsidies, and this alone ensures the vote of a large part of the population for the political parties promising more immigration.

    And yes, here they want to “rehabilitate” the retuning ISIS so they can get over “the terrible things” they was FORCED to do. Yes, this country is runned by MORONS!!
    And no, I did NOT vote for this IDIOTS!!

    Applying Barack Obama’s mentally retarded logic, if the Arab Muslims had had jobs in 634AD they wouldn’t have gone rampaging out of Arab, begun their massacre of millions, destruction of the Persian civilization, invasion of the Levant, North Africa and Spain. If they had had jobs the Turks would not have invaded Anatolia and later south-eastern Europe. This is the idiotic logic that CNN’s Chris Cuomo regards as Obama hitting the nail on the head. More and more CNN becomes a propaganda mouthpiece for Obama, with the Obama-fawning Fareed Zakaria looking more stupid and less credible with every passing weekend. The primary value now to watching CNN is to see what the enemy is saying.

    Once again I have the opportunity to feel ashamed of my country. A shame that grows deeper and deeper for each time.
    BUT, fortunately, there are more and more, stronger and stronger signals in our environment pointing at a cleaning-up of the present mess.
