Jihad Watch

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

Sweden took in 162,000 refugees in 2015 — 494 got jobs

Jun 4, 2016 12:31 pm By Robert Spencer

“Fight those who do not believe in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are of the People of the Book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29).

In lieu of the jizya, there is welfare. It is the duty of the Infidels to pay for the upkeep of Muslims, as that Qur’an verse makes clear. UK jhadist Anjem Choudary said in February 2013:

“We are on Jihad Seekers Allowance, We take the Jizya (protection money paid to Muslims by non-Muslims) which is ours anyway. The normal situation is to take money from the Kafir (non-Muslim), isn’t it? So this is normal situation. They give us the money. You work, give us the money. Allah Akbar, we take the money. Hopefully there is no one from the DSS (Department of Social Security) listening. Ah, but you see people will say you are not working. But the normal situation is for you to take money from the Kuffar (non-Muslim) So we take Jihad Seeker’s Allowance.”

Malmo Refugees Welcome Sweden

“Sweden Took 162k Refugees Last Year, 494 Got Jobs,” by Jacob Bojesson, Daily Caller, June 1, 2016 (thanks to Steve):

Just 494 out of the 162,000 refugees who applied for asylum in Sweden in 2015 have managed to get a job, according to government figures released Tuesday.

Refugees are eligible to work while their applications are pending as long as they can show a valid identification document and haven’t been rejected for asylum in the past. A majority of asylum seekers would qualify for a work permit, but the national migration office was only capable of issuing one to one-third due to the high demand.

“There was an incredible amount of people who applied for asylum in Sweden, and for us to be able to register everyone we had to disregard certain areas, and employment was one of them,” Lisa Bergstrand, officer at the Swedish immigration office, told Swedish public broadcaster SVT. “We do what we’ve been told to do.”

Getting migrants off welfare and into the job market has been a problem for most European countries during the ongoing refugee crisis.

Germany announced reforms to its labor laws in May to make it easier for migrants to enter the job market. Migrants are exempt from minimum wage regulations and thousands of  “one-euro jobs” —  in which refugees can work for low wages of between $1.13 and $2.80 per hour — have been created. (RELATED: Germany To Strip Job Protection From Citizens To Make Room For Refugees)

The center-left government in Sweden has proposed a reform to asylum laws to force migrants into the work force. If an applicant can’t support himself after three years in the country, they won’t be eligible for permanent residency if the reforms pass.

    I remember from the UK, the vast majority of “refugee” men did actually have jobs in the black economy, but they “sign on” as unemployed for the extra benefits, housing support and most of all, it keeps the tax man of their backs while they are working as illegal cab drivers and in kebab shops.
    They have to “sign on” as unemployed once every two weeks, outside the unemployment office is a stream of Mercedes and BMWs parked for the 20mins it takes them. I’ve seen it at both Wembley and Hendon, while I would cycle past on my way to work.

      Be aware that the Game of Jobs plays out very differently when Muslims themselves are in control.They change the laws to enable incompetence in every field of employment , hence the civil administration bloats itself to feed on the national budget and also enforce the Supremacist Agenda. Public works are farmed out to management corporations which then (sometimes) engage competent setups to complete essential works while long-term maintenance contracts are awarded to their co-religious incompetents so any shortcomings in services will never be recorded because Muslims can do no wrong.

      The private sector comes under crippling rules to employ incompetents in comfortably commanding positions to oversee lower-ranking non-Muslim professionals and reap a glowing CV of capable management, further elevating their potential for officially enforced appointment as senior directors or Chairmen in the Boards of Corporations.

      Schools with 90+% Muslim staff meanwhile will dutifully award impressive qualifications to Islamic students and ‘balance’ the results after exams to ensure an overwhelming success for Muslims to qualify for tertiary education in institutions where the 90% Muslim lecturers will indoctrinate them further while providing answer scripts for exams to ensure they collect their scrolls.

      This is happening in a few well-endowed nations which are starting to fail. The only uncomfortable thing I have to say for America is ‘may Trump be the one’ because I can see what a sorry state the US (and the world) will be in if any Imam Hussein protege becomes the next POTUS.

      Be able to say God Bless America again.

    By way of information. Jihad Seekers Allowance is a direct and cynical reference to the basic unemployment benefit in the UK which is Job Seekers Allowance – commonly known as the JSA.

    From Anwar Awlaki, ‘The Ruling on Dispossessing the Disbelievers wealth in Dar al-Harb’

    “All of our scholars agree on the permissibility of taking away the wealth of the disbelievers in dār al-ĥarb whether by means of force or by means of theft or deception.

    Our scholars differ on how wealth taken by means of theft and deception should be divided. The majority believes it is ghanīmah. So one-fifth of it should be paid to the Amir to be spent on jihad. Alternatively, the Hanafi’s consider it to be a source of income that belongs in its entirety to the ones who seized it.”

    Note: ” ALL of our scholars agree…” Theft or embezzlement is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.

      Yes–Muslims can use caravan-raiding, piracy, kidnapping and ransom, slavery, street crime, Jizya, and tribute to take money and property from Infidels. This is exactly what the foul “Prophet” did.

      He despised productive labor, and thought it fit only for slaves.

    The vast majority of these migrants have no skills outside of detonating their suicide belts.

    And there is very little demand for jobs like that in Europe.

    In fact, the ONLY one I know of that actually PAYS Muslims to detonate their suicide belts is…

    You got it!

    ISL.

    Time for Europe to round up every single Muslim migrant and deport them all back to Syria.

    I was shocked when I first time I went into my boy’s grade school for a parent-teacher meeting, and saw everywhere banners extolling multiculturalism and banners extolling diversity. My thought was, before inculcating our children with this, shouldn’t we first prove that multiculturalism and diversity work, that they are good things? But it goes without saying that they don’t mull such cynical questions at the graduate schools of education at our universities. Here’s a proposal, instead of giving teachers a raise for getting their Masters and PhDs in education, why don’t we lower their pay upon receiving such degrees? That would ease up on the nonsense in our schools. You don’t people around your kids who hang our at creepy joints like universities. Praise Allah.

    And dear fellow commentators Ramadam starts Monday, so in particular Swedish & UK farmers watch your cattle. You can bet your life many will be stolen and later slaughtered in the streets of our ‘civilized societies’ Keep a close watch on the alternative news. The weeks of Ramadan are weeks for slaughter of animals and people, and we let the devils in!

      Ramadan

      Muslim on Muslim Islamophobia time.
      At first sighting of daylight, fearful werewolves and vampires run away fast.
      Muslims in contrast, cower in fear of being caught in daylight breaking their fast.

      Muslims need not fear Allah but, rather their own Muslim neighbor.

        Jun 9, 2016 at 8:10 pm

        🙂

        Of course, such a conclusion would need to be made palatable to PC culture – the report would be called something like “islamophobia in the work market – how muslim migrants in Sweden are discriminated against”. Having it being “never mind their lack of skills, they came for the welfare” would be too honest.

    Being called the ” Swedish model “, by the Primeminister (statsminister) Stefan Löven. Saying that we are is building Sweden.
    As if it was not already being built and that´s the reason why so many are coming from the not developing arab world. Elderly, retired, as well as younger arriving endlessly. Mostly muslim males. The women wearing veils and such. No real refugees.
    The Minister of Finance saying the barns are empty. Then later sayng we are loaning in order to build Sweden. No shame.
    The infamous ” swedish model “. ” We manage “, some ” experts ” saying. ” Working together “.
    Strange that elderly also are coming. Still it´s being said, that we need to work more in order to get good pensions and that there is lack of flats, doctors, nurses, teachers, policeofficers.
    Probably the pensions will be low and lower than today, that many arriving from the not developing arab world.
    Probably that´s why some politicians saying we will have to work till we are 75 or longer. Some joking till we are 90 years old.

      Sounds like Germany’s (?) Merkel: Wir schaffen es! = We achieve it!

        Yes, exactly. Prime Minister Stefan Löven (2014 -), said he has been working close together with her.
        Former PM Fredrik Reinfeldt (2006-10 and 2010-14), saw her lots. Watching football together.

    WELCOME …Muslims from Hillary’s Arab Spring fiasco —

    I suppose that some of these Muslims are families facing a genuine hardship and possibly escaping war zones as well, but with politicians so eager not appear Islamophobic in front of the voracious demonizing News Media we can be certain that vetting new arrivals (if even possible) is the last thing considered.

    When polled 7 out of 10 Swedes say they would be happy to take a second job to pay for the migrants! Spoof!

    And the joke goes on – and when their children grow up they’ll be happy to take a second job for the migrants and their families too!!

    It’s a very good arrangement – they take in the first lot of migrants who request to bring their spouses. And once their children are grown – the migrant couple finds spouses for each of them – back in Somalia or now Iraq or Syria – the newly weds come back to Sweden to raise the family – with 70-80% living almost entirely off the state.

    Try to change it – and the Left will take to the streets to fight for the migrants’ right – to see it remain.

    ::

    ‘That’s so Racist!’

    Anyway this is the way the rules stand for the immigrants currently there – but it looks like the center Left is going to get tough on these new migrants – if they haven’t found a job in three years they won’t be eligible for permanent residency! Bet the migrants are quaking in their boots!!

    ::

    Walks Like a Duck

    It appears that Sweden is concealing the real figures – for the percentage of immigrants who are benefits claimants. The figures used date back some years – citing computer problems in densely packed migrant areas as reason for the omission – there are no updated figures to be had.

    An indication of deliberate manipulation – of Sweden’s spending on immigrants that has gotten completely out of control!

    Europe is now under the thumb of the unscrupulous and immoral Left politicians. They don’t have any allegiance to their nation or people. This ‘Leftards.’ is the cancer for all nations they have managed to infect . They are characteristically pro muslim and anti native . These Leftards are the true TRAITORS for any and every nation they are born in. Every nation is now suffering from this cancer only excepting the islamic states. Communism and islam are similar cancers for the current civilisation.
    We have to think of a new word order to survive defying and overcoming the cancer of communism and it’s flipside , islam .

    Many jobs have disappeared or been changed through improved technology–this does not destroy society; often, it advances it.

    Remember, entire industries spring up where there is innovation–just a handful of scientists and engineers worked in computers 50 years ago–now it is a huge market.

    There is no point in returning to a world where most have to work in the fields just for subsistence.

    Islam rejects Bi’da–innovation–the free West does not.
