Some people’s balloon never lands. These besotted multiculturalists live in a fantasy world of their own making. Probably even as they are being beheaded by a returning jihadi, they will be congratulating themselves in their final moments for being “welcoming” and “non-judgmental.”
“Breaking: IS terrorists to get free license and housing in Sweden,” translated from “Nu klart: IS-terrorister får gratis körkort och bostad i Sverige,” Fria Tider, October 18, 2016 (thanks to Fjordman):
Muslims who return to Sweden after joining the terrorist organization Islamic state, IS, in the Middle East can be offered tax benefits which include drivers education, free housing and even debt restructuring.
Radio Sweden spoke to Christoffer Carlsson, author of a report for the national coordinator against violent extremism, which gathers examples of how the terrorists are to be “reintegrated” into Swedish society with the help of state funds.
“It’s directly through social, economic and material means. You need to be able to reintegrate into the job market, you may need to have a driver’s license, debt settlement and shelter. When people leave, they want to leave for something else, but they do not have the resources to do so, so it is difficult for them to realize their plans,” says Christoffer Carlsson.
Without these kinds of benefits at the Swedish taxpayers’ expense, there is a risk that terrorists “do not succeed” in leaving the Muslim extremist environment, stresses Carlsson.
Anna Sjöstrand, municipal coordinator against violent extremism in Lund, also participated in Radio Sweden’s report. She points out that one cannot deny the terrorists tax benefits just because they made a “wrong choice.”
“We cannot say that because you made a wrong choice, you have no right to come back and live in our society, said Anna Sjöstrand to SR.
Why not, exactly? The Islamic State is at war with Sweden. What evidence does Anna Sjöstrand have that the returning jihadis will not continue to pursue this war?
“Municipalities prepare for defection from violent extremism,” translated from “Kommuner förbereder för avhopp från våldsbejakande extremism,” Radio Sweden, October 18, 2016 (thanks to Fjordman):
Around 140 Swedes have so far returned after having joined the violent groups in Syria and Iraq. Now several municipalities are preparing to work with those who want to defect. This could include offering practical support to defectors.
One of the few known cases where someone defected after having joined the IS is in Lund. Although violent extremism existed in Lund before that, this case raised the issue of what to do when Swedes began to travel to Syria and Iraq to fight with extremist groups.
“When the subject first came up, we thought ‘Oh God, how should we handle this,’ but pretty quickly we realized that we should deal with this in the same way. This is a concern like any other concern whatsoever,” says Anna Sjöstrand, who is the municipal coordinator against violent extremism.
Lund’s conclusion is that defectors from violent extremist groups should be handled like defectors from other environments, such as organized crime. After an investigation of the person’s needs, the municipality can help with housing, employment or livelihood.
This approach is supported by a report by the national coordinator against violent extremism. The report’s author, Christoffer Carlsson, says that a person who wants to leave extremist environments often needs support to be able to do it.
“It’s directly through social, economic and material means. You need to be able to reintegrate into the job market, you may need to have a driver’s license, debt settlement and shelter. When people leave, they want to leave for something else, but they do not have the resources to it, so it is difficult for them to realize their plans,” says Christoffer Carlsson.
“If they do not receive support, the risk is great that they will be unable to leave the extremist environment, but instead fall back into it,” says Christoffer Carlsson.
“Then they might make an attempt and fail because they do not have anything holding out another chance to them, so instead there is always something to go back to, namely the group they left,” says Christoffer Carlsson.
Malmö, Borlänge and Örebro also have similar views on how to support defectors. Last year, the Municipality of Örebro received some criticism for offering an internship to a young man who returned after having been in Syria.
Anna Sjöstrand, municipal coordinator against violent extremism in Lund, does not agree with the criticism. It is wrong to assume that people have to serve any punishment; they should all have the same support, she says.
“There may be such criticism, but for me it is difficult to think along those lines. They get the same help as others who seek help from us. We cannot say that because you made a wrong choice, you have no right to come back and live in our society,” says Anna Sjöstrand.

The defectors, terrorists or other classifications of Muslims, as far as they believe, have made the right choice in being part of the take over of your country Sweden, and also all countries.
Anything goes in the name of Jihad, money or no money, licence or not, and part of Jihad being Islamic warfaring in all its various forms.
That is in the minds, or actually is the mind of most Muslims, and it is a high percentage most.
The people in charge of Sweden, are what?
Same applies here, in England, and it seems like Jihad is spreading, and transforming as it goes.
It’s all horrible stuff.

Holy jumpin’ Jededia!

Unbelievable. They’re bringing TRAINED jihadis back? Just when you think cultural suicide can’t get any faster…
Returning jihadis deserve a bullet to the brain and their bodies fed to hogs.
medaber_emet says
why waste a good bullet
just strave the hogs for few days and then throw the F Jihadi to the hogs
they will arrange him meeting with allllha
Anne Smith says
It would be better if the Iraqis and their allies in the air strafed the whole damned lot as they flee Mosul, take no prisoners and allow no one to escape.
One exterminates rats and these are even worse.
Angemon says
Someone’s making money out of this, that’s for sure – someone will get money from the state to rent a house to the jihadis. Someone will be paid by the state to teach jihadis how to drive. The commissions and study groups who thought those were good ideas will justify their existence. Remember that story about Greece and a hospital having 45 gardeners but no garden?
sog says
Exactly. There is huge gain in some parts of society, such as political access to funds that may be skimmed, Much like our TARP funds where $Billions were skimmed from a $Trillion pot.
It used to be that Scandinavia held the least corrupt societies; Now however, they’re in great moral decline do to some parties taking advantage of the least corrupt that remain. It’s all very sad.
Holo says
The Swedes have gone mad! Muslims who have gone to fight with ISIS are murderers and should be thrown into jail, for many years.

First of all, they should not be allowed to return. Let them rot in that hell hole called the middle east.

Too expensive – execute them. They worship death, after all, let them go to meet their God – and the 72 virgins or whatever.
Bob says
Are they allowed to keep their guns, too?

In the name of the folly that is multiculturalism, the Swedes have solicited, nay demanded these barbarians, their certain, brutal slaughter the breath and scope their nation has not know for centuries. So, farewell fair Swedes you peaceful people, a sad farewell to a country of breathtaking beauty. You will soon look like Beirut, Syria, and Yemen.
You are a vanquished nation.
Those who died in battles to insure a future Sweden that enjoyed freedom, prosperity and peace, surely have died in vain.
Matthew Roberts says
The Swedes are nothing but a bunch of turnips!
davej says
“reintegrate”? Surely if they left to train and fight with Islamic terrorists they were not “integrated” to begin with.
Letting them in the first time was a mistake but letting them back in after training and then subsidizing their existence is a bigger mistake. Aren’t they also setting up an incentive system for others to do the same?
Is it bad parenting that makes some people unable to say no?
John A. Marre says
Sweden will get what it royally deserves.
Carissa says
Anyone want to run away to Sweden with me to open a knife sharpening store? Just think of all the business we’ll get from the recently returned, Swede funded, Jihadi population! After all, they’re gonna need a place to sharpen their instruments for the upcoming beheadings they will inflict upon the docile crowd that was not only dumb enough to admit, but then re-admit them. Sweden has my vote — in a very close contest I might add — for the 2016 National Darwin Award.
Carlos Danger says
Caliphate veterans deserve a military pension courtesy of their Swedish subjects.
Mark A says
What a ridiculous policy.
Fighting for ISIS should result in these jihadis should be stripped of their Swedish citizenship. Instead they are being rewarded for their treason.
Another step on the road to creating Swedenistan.
Mark A says
Despite the rationale offered for this policy by the Sewedish officials quoted in the article, I can’t help thinking that these jihadis don’t really want to be “re-integrated into the job market.”
Anjem Chadoury encouraged his UK followers to treat the JOb Seekers Allowance as the Jihad Seekers Allowance and consider it a jizya payment from the dhimmis to which the jihadis were fully entitled.
I suspect these returning Swedish jihadis have the the same rationale.
Mark A says
I wonder when the regular working, taxpaying Swedes are finally going to say “enough is enough” and put an end to this kind of thing.
billybob says
This is insane! Some of these returning jihadis were cold blooded murders with blood on their hands. Some are undoubtedly serial rapists who actively participated as buyers in the slave markets. Undoubtedly all of them have become inured to violence and killing. What kind of members of society are these barbarians going to make? Even if they don’t kill or rape, they are going to be seen as “war heroes” and an inspiration in many cases by a younger generation of Muslims.

Sweden: Returning Islamic State jihadis to get free housing, driver’s license, tax benefits
………………….
Suicidal madness. They should never let these Jihadi thugs back in. That they are not only letting them back, not prosecuting them for their crimes, but are *giving them benefits at taxpayer expense” is not just insane, but completely immoral.
Karen says
I’m guessing that this clinical, dispassionate viewpoint is only possible because the social engineers involved see nothing especially wrong with ISIS. After all, ISIS is the natural ally of Leftists, for now. Why not reintegrate, at taxpayer expense, those who want to destroy everything Western? From that POV it’s not insane at att.
Sweden is completely neutral about returning jihadists, but will hound, threaten and intimidate parents who home school their children to the point of driving some of them out of Sweden. No, it’s not insanity, it’s the destruction of the Left, and it’s deliberate.

A humane approach, but requires close monitoring by colleagues, family and friends, as aberrant behaviour is a proven. Burden of proving total reform must be borne by the rehabilitated national, or face prosecution for international terrorism.
Srishi says
Presuming they are natural born generational Swedes who got carried away fir a while may deserve a last chance at rehab into society after psychotherapy, for immigrants or first gen Swedes it should be unpardonable.
