Sweden: State-funded rifle-shooting practice for Muslim refugees

Jan 18, 2016 9:58 am By Robert Spencer

Relax. It’s just the biathlon. What could possibly go wrong?

Laddade-för-prickskytte

“Sweden: State-funded Muslim ‘Sniper’ Training,” by Pamela Geller, January 17, 2016:

No, this is not the Onion. But it is madness.

Why would Sweden give sniper training to Muslim refugees?

This story from the Swedish publication Allehanda is from 2013, but it is well worth revisiting now. Is this training continuing? Where are the Muslim migrants who have gone through this training now? What are they doing?

Allehanda’s original article now contains this “clarification” in English: “Because of the recent international citations of the 2013 Allehanda article ‘Laddad för prickskytte’, I as News Editor feel that a few clarifications are in order. Several websites refers to the immigration project in Sollefteå as ‘sniper training’. This is not a correct description. The word sniper training implies military combat education which is something completely different from this. Although the refugees in the pictures can be seen holding what looks like sniper rifles, it is in fact biathlon sports equipment. Biathlon is since the 1960s recognised as an Olympic discipline, and the Sollefteå Ski High School runs an international upper secondary school programme for elite competitors. This is where the refugees were invited to try rifle shooting, the only element of biathlon possible in the summer. It was done by the authorities as part of their work with local immigration. I hope this clarifies the circumstances surrounding this article.”

So it supposedly wasn’t sniper training, but rifle shooting, and that makes it OK?

“Charged up for sniping,” Allehanda.se, June 2, 2013 (Google Translate):

It began on a small scale in the fall. But in the spring, interest exploded. Now shoot more than 50 immigrant youths dot on the biathlon course in Sollefteå.

Maria Ibrahim loading rifle and lies down on the green rubber mat. She is aiming carefully and long before she pushes against the classical target of five black dots.

The white caps fall into place one by one. Five hits out of five possible.

– I think this is a good activity, she says.

– It’s fun to learn how to shoot, and we have fun together. We laugh a lot. If this continues into the fall, I will certainly be with!

Over 50 young immigrants have found the biathlon track at Hallstaberget. His Nauclér, which holds the course together with Björn Lindblom and Birgit Höglin, very satisfied.

– Already the sample meeting in March, more than 50 young people from all over the world – Syria, Afghanistan, Africa, South America. And it has persisted. They are interested and very talented, and some come from war-torn areas has never been a problem.

All the young people go to the individual program in upper secondary school, focusing languages. Teacher Birgit Höglin points out several advantages.

– It’s much more than the sport itself, she says.

– Here they talk Swedish in other social contexts, meet new people and hang out in other forms. It is good especially for the vocabulary. Moreover, it is sure discipline and security, is also a useful experience.

His Nauclér agree.

– Very safety is very important. The inches we do not!

    I had thought that Scandinavia had reached the nadir of stupidity. But no, here we are paying Infidel taxpayer money to help them hone their murdering skills. Combine the contents of the Holy Ko-Ran with the fruits of modern weaponry invented and manufactured by Infidels, and the product of such a move is inevitable. But why do Swedish Moslems need guns anyway, the Swedes are quite willing to lay down for them and voluntarily enter Dhimmitude. Liberals, go figure that the name is based on the word liberty.

      Being a liberal must be like becoming a drug addict. On entering the behavior one has the ability, the liberty, to choose. But upon transition one is always keeping one eye out for the next fix or rage, becoming the ultimate conformist under the control of the group’s pusher. And there is, of course, a marked denial about the eventual lethality of trodding the path.

      The Swedes are already dhimmis but maybe the Swedes want to help their new masters export their jihad to the rest of us.

    This gives new meaning to Stockholm Syndrome. I guess now you don’t just sympathize with your captors, you help train them in weaponry.

    Stupid is as Stupid does…

    Their women are being raped and the response is teach the migrants how to kill from a distance.

    Since the Civlil Rights movement I have resisted Blonde or racial jokes. Changing my mind, trying to remember those old Polish jokes and replacing Pole with Swede.

        How many Swedes does it take to help a rape victim? Eleven. One to help the victim to the hospital and ten to point their fingers at her and say she had it coming for not respecting the culture of Muslims.

    Looks like Sweden is well on its way to following the dodo bird to extinction.
    (Sluggard, knot-arse, fools)

    Will they rename their country Swedenistan and remove the cross from their flag and replace it with a crescent moon and star? And they probably need to change the color of their flag, we all know “blue” is a Zionist colour. [ the blue sky and oceans are “Zionist” too that’s why Muslims love the sand – (sarc) ]

    In some towns/cities in sweden the rapefugees also get free memberships in martial arts classes like karate, boxing , kickboxing muay thai etc

    They are facilitating terrorism. I think Swedish politicians are more evil than the terrorists.

    Today the targets have numbered rings. Tomorrow the targets will be very different. Sweden not only imports an enemy, but gives it firearms training as well to giive them the proficiency of a Boer farmer. This makes inviting a fox into a henhose look like an act of sanity.

    Maria Ibrahim might be a Christian, given the first name, but the Poles, Czechs have got it right by only wanting the Christians.

    This self hatred of Europeans is something which can not be explained as stupidity, suicide, delusion or other things but a sickness that does not have a name OR cure. It is a social disease that has not surfaced in history before. What else can go WRONG with Europe I don’t know. Teaching Muslims to shoot? WOW!

  17. Jay Boo says

    Jan 18, 2016 at 7:40 pm

    Maybe they should teach them how to butcher a wild pig instead.

    – I think this is a good activity, she says. I just imagine they are kafirs.

    – It’s fun to learn how to kill, and this makes me fell closer to Allah. We laugh a lot. If this continues into the fall, I will certainly be with!

    ……………………….

    Yeah–I’m sure the very first thing invading Mohammedans are thinking about is joining the Swedish Biathalon Olympic team…sarc/off

    Now all we have to do is see if Muslims flock to cross country skiing instruction in the same way they are rifle shooting. Any one care to wager?

    What next? A Swedish course in butchery for migrants? Giving them the knife skills of the slaughterman would certainly increase their chances of employment. What possibly could go wrong?
