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

Sweden arrests two Muslims accused of jihad terrorism

Jul 23, 2015 3:54 pm By Robert Spencer

SWEDEN-police“Around 300 Swedes have travelled to Syria and Iraq to fight with militant groups – including the so-called ‘Islamic State’ and al-Qaeda.” They almost certainly don’t consider themselves Swedes, but as citizens of the one supranational Islamic umma. But Western nations, and the international media, continue to ignore that and to think that nationality, at least for those Western nations, is a simple matter of geography and the mumbling of a few platitudes in a stuffy office.

“Sweden arrests two citizens accused of terrorism,” DW, July 23, 2015 (thanks to Lookmann):

Sweden’s security police said on Thursday that they arrested two Swedish citizens on suspicion of committing terrorist crimes, including murder in Syria in 2013.

“Two persons have been arrested in Gothenburg on probable cause on suspicion of terrorist crimes in committing murder,” the Swedish Prosecution Authority (SPA) said in a statement. The arrests were made in cooperation with the Swedish Security Police, according to the authority.

The SPA also said that an arrest warrant was issued for a third suspect.

However, the SPA said it could not provide further information regarding the case due to the sensitivity of the investigation….

Around 300 Swedes have travelled to Syria and Iraq to fight with militant groups – including the so-called “Islamic State” and al-Qaeda – the head of Sweden’s security police told Reuters news agency in March….

        Abu Sven Ibn Al-Hammad and Al-Olaf Insha Allah Abu Ibn Mohammed.

        Even their names need to be inconvenient to write/type/say.

    “Two persons have been arrested” … yeah, right! Two SOMALIAN jihadist person!

    Message for Swedish politicians:

    When there are holes in the ships, stop drilling more holes. Close the holes. Stop importing terrorists.

    Pretty much. And Sweden is a particularly egregious example of PC insanity.

    There are no Swedish Muslims. There are Muslims who live in Sweden. There are also Muslims who live in Britain, I refuse to call them British.

      Caroline Madam,
      Why isn’t it possible for your to accept Muslims living in Britain, Sweden, America as British, Swedish or American citizens? Your laws are on their side. Your heartfelt wishes to drive them out won’t realize. If they are driven them out, where shall these poor creatures go? They are our guests. And no culture across the globe drives its guests away. I feel your righteous wrath against Muslims, but excessive anger will weaken your nerves.

      • Caroline says

        I have no wish to drive out anyone who wants to live in peace with us and adapts to our culture. We have people of many different religions living in Britain, all happily British. Islam, however, is incompatible with western democracy. Those who can!t, or won’t, adapt must feel free to leave. We will never bow down to Sharia.

          Good morning, Caroline Madam!
          It is quite cool this morning. For a long time, we farmers were waiting for rains. Finally Rain Godless cared our prayers. It sent rains in torrents. There is enthusiasm everywhere and you could see happiness in every eye. Everyone is leaving for his farm to cultivate and sow the seeds. What a beautiful thing it is to watch a seed breaking its hard cell and growing up against all odds! As it grows a little up it is one with the tune and flow of the wind.

          However, a person born and brought up in hardcore Islamism has no love and respect for these little but concrete beauties. His intrinsic drive is to completely root out life giving mysteries. He is against the very grain of life. Monstrous disregard of human life is seen when Islam forces little girls (the seeds) to undergo genital mutilation. Islam is against everything human. If it were a faith of peace and creativity, Sharia would never be in vogue. Islam is incompatible not only with British culture but humanity as a whole.

          The morning is so lovely in my village. People are having tea at roadside canteen. Boys and girls are heading towards school with a little heavy schoolbags. Stray cattle under a banyan tree are stretching themselves, shaking off their slumber and laziness and readying to go grazing.

          Always do write against anything monstrous. Long live, Caroline!

    Norway has woken up and it is deporting them. I wish our PM had the balls of Erna Solberg. We need someone like her in Britain. We need the likes of Thatcher and Reagan.

      According to the current legislation in Sweden this cant be done since they are Swedish Citizens.
      Just want to make clear to everyone outside Sweden that these people do not represent anything about Swedish Culture.
      They are in no meaning Swedish,have never been and will never be.

    Yes it really bugs me that they say “Swedish citizens” instead of “Muslim Islamic terrorists who are copying Mohammed, the Muslim warlord pedophile crime-boss”.

    They are not Swedish if they have Muslim names.

    How sweet is Sweden.

    “Seldom has the expression “the fox guarding the henhouse” been illustrated so clearly in the material world.””

    http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/07/21/top-immigration-official-caught-praising-islamic-state/

    A top official in charge of Sweden’s immigration policy has been exposed as a jihadi sympathiser who described someone’s intention to join Islamic State as “beautiful”

    The Örebro municipality offered returning jihadists “psychological help to overcome traumatic experiences they may have suffered while fighting in Iraq and Syria,” with local councillor Rasmus Persson calling for terrorists to be offered jobs so they don’t “feel alienated”.

    Have we not heard about this job business form Marie Hauf in the Obama Administration??.

    Only two? There has to be many more? Go back and search properly.

    The Vikings used to sell other Europeans into slavery to the Arabs.
