Aided by a politically correct culture of “tolerance,” and, of course, the stigmatization of anyone who speaks out as an “Islamophobe.” For a minute, I thought this report was talking about the United States.
“Government Report: Islamists Building ‘Parallel Society’ in Sweden Aided By PC Culture of Silence,” by Liam Deacon, Breitbart, March 4, 2017:
Aided by a politically correct culture of “tolerance”, the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) is secretly building a “parallel” society in Sweden by infiltrating organisations and political parties, a government report has concluded.
Surprisingly, the document takes aim at “political elites” for fostering a doctrine of multiculturalism and silence, which can help and facilitate the nefarious ends of anti-democratic organisation like the Brotherhood.
Somewhat predictably, however, the publication of such claims in Sweden – where open criticism of liberal, multicultural ideals is rare – has caused a row, with critics labelling the report “conspiratorial” and claiming it misrepresents Islam.
Published Friday, the document was commissioned by Sweden’s Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB), part of the country’s Ministry of Defence, which is responsible for civil protection and public safety.
The paper’s authors claim the Brotherhood is working to increase the number of practicing Muslims in Sweden, encouraging tension with Secular society, and targeting political parties, NGOs, academic institutions and other civil society organisations.
They also slam the “established structure of values among the country’s political elite [which] places a high value on ‘acceptance’ and ‘tolerance’ of citizens who are in some sense different from the mainstream”.
In the report, the Islamism of the MB is described as a totalitarian political ideology born out of Islam, a religion. This can make it “difficult to oppose what on the surface appears to be (a vulnerable minority) religious rights”, it explains.
Critics, therefore, “run the risk of being called ‘racist’ or ‘Islamophobic’ and because of the situation in Swedish society such classifications endanger people’s careers”.
The press was quick to label these claims inflammatory, and 22 academics and “experts” in religion have published a blog post questioning the methodology of the research.
The academics – from many of Sweden’s leading universities – say it is “almost conspiratorial” to suggest criticism of Islamism is difficult in Sweden. They also insist the claim that the Brotherhood is building a parallel society is refuted in past research.
In response to the blog post, the department has refuted the criticism of their methodology, and the report’s editor, Magnus Norell, told public service broadcaster SVT:
“Had they smoked something before they read it? You just need to read the report. If someone doesn’t accept this, there’s not much I can do about it. It’s proven.”
Controversially in Sweden, the report also links Islamism and poor social integration to immigration.
“Islamists aim to build a parallel social structure competing with the rest of the Swedish society the values of its citizens. In this sense, MB’s activists pose a long-term challenge in terms of the country’s social cohesion”, it states.
Adding: “Migration from Africa and the Middle East is likely to continue in coming years, both in form of relatives and refugees…
“Given that MB’s goal is to increase the number of practising Muslims in Swedish or European territory, there is a great likelihood that a ‘tug of war’ will occur between the majority community and the Islamic community with the MB’s encouragement…”…
Keys says
“Swedish government report: Muslim Brotherhood infiltrating organizations and political parties, building parallel society”
This could be the headline for any Western nation including the USA, if these governments would honestly investigate and report. These are the goals of the Muslim brotherhood; not to mention the goals of Islam, as jihad is the will of Allah.
Article from Mar 6, 2017: The British government has seemingly softened its stance on the Muslim Brotherhood.
http://www.clarionproject.org/analysis/muslim-brotherhood-firewall-vs-extremism
Also from the clarionproject site – the stated goals of the MB:
1. Inform the world about Islam and spread its teachings
2. Unify the world under the banner of Islam
3. Raise the standard of living and achieve social justice
4. Fight disease, poverty, ignorance and hunger
5. Liberate the Ummah (Islamic nation) from foreign rule
6. Establish a worldwide Islamic state (caliphate)
7. Build a new world civilization based on sharia and Islam
None are so blind ……
Tjhawk says
” This could be the headline for any Western nation, including the USA”
Yep, you got that right. Stephen Coughlins book, Catastrophic Failure: Blindfolding America in the Face of Jihad, outlines how Islamic infiltration has influenced our policy and foreign affairs for years. I hope people read this book.
At this point, Islamic supremacism is operating at a level of long term strategic planning that is barely comprehended by the free and open societies, upon which jihad has been declared.
If we can’t comprehend or discuss the problem, we can’t resist it.
Coughlin often discusses how useless ( and islamically influenced) our “Countering Violent Extremism” approach to intelligence and policy has been.
I am deeply concerned about the loss of Flynn. I think it was literally the day after he stated publically that he was eliminating “Countering Violent Extremism” that his conversations with the Russians were leaked.

@Keys
“…Article from Mar 6, 2017: The British government has seemingly softened its stance on the Muslim Brotherhood….”
Couple of years ago there was a petition to stop sharia courts in the UK, Theresa (sharia)May was home secretary then. Then there were ~85 sharia courts. When she came to power there were ~100 to 105 sharia courts. Now, according to estimates (I believe by the Christian Institute) there are about 115 to 120…
Errr…. Theresa May is the one who is **always** wearing a hijab when she meets with Muslims.
PS: “softened”?
I’d say the butter went from room temperature to melting – halal butter of course 🙂
Tjhawk says
I feel queezy. I think I’m suffering from islamonausea.
Keys says
DFD, agree “softened” Is not the proper descriptor.
I melt softened butter in the microwave for popcorn. If I leave it in too long, the softened butter bubbles with heat and creates a disgusting mess.
Thank you for your response to my comment with the estimates of Sharia courts in Britain. At that rate soon Sharia courts will outnumber British courts.
underbed cat says
HIjra is migration. Command to all muslims. Follows sharia law. Muslim brotherhood is preparing, against host countries to bring sharia….many methods are used including terror….but in order for any of their plans to work, they need to silence the public by labeling anyone with knowledge as hateful, racist, which again is following sharia law of slander (even if truthful) it is a united group with a goal to take the minds of the non-believers….it calls it self a religion….they say they are peaceful, tolerant and just…have many support organizations, collect sakat, and funds from foreign sources….and unless this is all understood soon by many it will never be seen as subversive activity at unparallel planning and deception of the global OIC.
Carolyne says
I believe that Barack Hussein Obama and some others, i.e. Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and John McCain has put in place a “Shadow government” which is destroying American democracy and the presidency of Donald Trump, and thanks to MSM is getting away with it. I thought that electing Donald Trump was our last chance, but now I realize our last chance was lost when Barack Obama was elected President.
jayell says
Oh dear oh dear, where have we heard about this sort of thing before? And how many times before? We know that they target the poltical and legal sectors first, then the Education sector yet (cf. the Trojan Horses in UK schools). Have they been over-promoted in the police yet, like our late-lamented (i.e., he’s now behind bars) Chief Spt. Desai of the Metropoiitan Po,lice (aka SuperThug)? It’s just like an aggressive cancer that gets into the system and spreads until the whole body is infected bit by bit. If you catch it early, you’re in with a chance. If you let it embed itself, you have to be prepared to do major surgery. And if, like Sweden, you refuse to recognise that you’ve got a disease………
Tjhawk says
Sweden will be a gigantic experiment for the world to see. I hope there will be some reality based analysis on the results.
Even scientific research can be skewed depending on who is funding the research.
DFD says
@Tjhawk
I like the way you said that: “…can be skewed…”
Ever had of all the greenhouse effect studies? CO2, plants and microbes love it – and these in turn are badly needed by the life forms above them. All life, at least on this planet, is fundamentally composed of Carbon, and most life forms (apart from anaerobic bacteria) require Oxygen. Without CO2 this planet would be as lively as the moon.
Scientific research my foot! BTW, I forgot how the qualification or quantification for Volcanos went, but years ago I read that the average sized one (don’t ask) kicks up more green horse gases and toxins per hour than mankind has produced or generated in its **entire** existence.
Well, compliments upon your scepticism. It’s intellectually healthy.
Jeanette says
Liberals won’t even discuss whether Islam is a problem, and we have tens of millions of liberals in America. May liberal women be the FIRST to see that Muslim razor blade headed for their private parts.
John A. Marre says
Don’t forget that they have an extremely high fertility. They don’t need to spend their entire days doing what someone tells them to, for money (work). Once they are established, they send for their first wife, then, in a few months, the second, etc.
Swedes don’t have a lot of babies, partly because they have to work to support the Muslims who don’t work, and their numerous babies.
Tjhawk says
This reminds me of an elaborate case of nest parasitism or brood parasitism. This is where a bird, usually larger and more aggressive, lays its eggs in the nest of another species. This works because it exploits the parental instincts of the host species. Being larger and more aggressive in food seeking, the parasite fools the host into thinking that the parasite is the most deserving of the efforts of care. In fact the parasite often shoulders the host offspring out of the nest, to fall to their death.
The sad end game to this is that the little songbird parents will work themselves to death raising the parasite and their parental instincts don’t allow them to realize what has happened to them.
ECAW says
Good description. You’d think humans were far enough up the evolutionary tree to react with reason rather than just instinct though….wouldn’t you?
gravenimage says
I hope so, Andrew.
SuperSwede says
It’s a well known phenomenon that we call “cuckoo babies”. The problem is that the imported cuckoos won’t survive without the Swedish parent birds who support them so it will be interesting when we are no longer here to do that. Nordic Somalia?
Halal Bacon says
If all you have to do is open up the Quran, how is anything possibly misrepresented?
underbed cat says
Exactly. Each and every time I hear the words radical or hijacked or misinterpreted doctrine. you know it is spoken by someone who has not read the Quran. It exposes the misinformation that seems to be unquestioned while the tactics lies within the pages to be clearly understood. Leaders should turn to the experts of the doctrine, that are not constricted by sharia laws and should be the source for knowledge how all this operates and not the operatives themselves.
Jeanette says
Be sure it isn’t one of the recent whitewashed versions of the Koran, with passages that serve as warnings to non-Muslims deleted.
Westman says
It’s amazing the masters of Sweden would be in such denial about the effects of immigration on Sweden – particularly when modern technology shows the results to the world, not only in Muslim riots and car burnings.
Take a look around Malmo on Google Maps Street View. You can navigate as if you were driving. Notice the trash in the gutters and by sidewalks when you are in the “immigrant” areas. The occasional car with flat tires that the police are afraid to tow is also interesting.
Of course, Pope Francis would insist that being poor makes one’s back, arms, and hands inoperable and unable to carry one’s trash for disposal – or simply have enough civic pride to clean up one’s street. Perhaps a politician could run on the slogan, “Make Sweden Beautiful Again”.
DFD says
There have been such brave and courageous individuals indeed. The Nazi mace swung, and thus they shut up, and some even had to resign. Shouting “Nazi, Nazi!” works all the time.
ECAW says
No one yet, including Robert Spencer, has commented on the most remarkable aspect of this, that the report was produced by a branch of the government. Could it be that the odd ray of light is penetrating their bunker and they’re slowly approaching to that “Oh Christ, what have we done?” moment?
SuperSwede says
It is quite remarkable that it is Sweden’s Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) who has ordered the report. The agency normaly deals with different catastrophy scenarios and how to prepare for them or avoid them. Like forest fires that cover large areas, flooding, how to prepare for a nuclear accident.
And now the MB. It really says a lot. I wonder what information they have recieved to order this report. It didn’t just come out of nowhere.
DFD says
Try that, this gentleman and his colleagues.
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/01/26/swedens-army-chief-warns-the-country-will-be-at-war/
In Germany several retired generals have sent **open** letters to Merkel, about the risk of civil war. Though the Swedish general speaks about a war outside Sweden, in Europe – he has to, hasn’t he?
Further, in Germany there’s Rainer Wendt, head of the police union. He held a speech at the Konrad Adenauer Foundation/Trust, nearly 30 minutes, its full of irony, and even sarcasm. He is severely, intensely critical of the entire Merkel regime and her coalition partners. He already wrote books. One can only hope that he too will no suddenly commit suicide, as several prominent anti jihadists have recently done.
Here is his speech, though, German only: https://youtu.be/no-Fc931mUI (Though, as a Swede you may understand a good chunk of it anyway. Particularly since he speaks slowly and very articulate)
Needless to say, according to the German media, they are all Nazis. Of course.
BTW, here’s something for grin: Many Germans have redefined “Nazi”, it now stands for
— “N.A.Z.I = N_icht A_n Z_uwanderung I_nteressierte” —
That’s difficult to translate literally, it means: “No interest in getting colonists in (or) rejecting immigration”
SuperSwede says
Thank you for the link, I will watch it later and hope that I remember enough of my high school German to understand what he says.
The government of Sweden decided just last week to go back to conscription. I wonder why. I have a bad feeling about the future of Europe, particularly Germany, Sweden and France.
Keys says
This comment is directed at SuperSwede who says the Swedish government “decided just last week to go back to conscription”.
Do you think the government will conscript Muslims? Wouldn’t that be foolish! Remember Major Hasan!
“Nidal Malik Hasan is an American convicted of fatally shooting 13 people and injuring more than 30 others in the Fort Hood mass shooting on November 5, 2009. Wikipedia”
SuperSwede says
@Keys: The military don’t take religion into account when they draft people. That said, I don’t think they are completely oblivious to what is happening and it will be interesting to see how many of the recruits that have foreing background, if they will keep statistics.

As I have always maintained, the biggest problem in the West is Progressivism. The Mohammedans can be defeated but the Progressives have to removed from power first.
– I still think that Flynn’s resignation was a big loss.
common sense says
The atrocities being carried out by ISIS as barbaric and terrible as they are appear to be the distraction while the infiltration of the MB wins “hearts and minds” of the West with “Islamapohobia” and cultural fear tactics. Unfortunately Muslims have adapted and integrated quite well for a Mohammaden.
avi15 says
Don’t be too hard on the Swedish political elites: it’s really, really hard to admit you are totally and utterly wrong and have been for decades.
Jeanette says
It also doesn’t help the bank accounts of the political elites to lose their cushy positions by admitting their (at best) idiocy.
davej says
This is the strategy operating in most Western countries. They build a parallel education, church, justice system, food system when they are a minority, while breeding as fast as possible, then they will force the original system to submit.
This aggressive strategy is excused by allegations of discrimination and victimization and the host country falls for it based on their “progressive tolerance”. The few who dare expose or oppose it are dismissed as “racists” or “Islamophobes”. Before you know it the takeover is a fait accompli.
Angemon says
Technically, they’re right. Anyone in Sweden can criticize islam, whether with a megaphone on the street or with a blogpost on the internet. It’s the ensuing aftermath that makes criticism of islam in Sweden a taboo issue: the cries of “racism” and “islamophobia” – with the status of social pariah and what that entails – as well as possible legal retribution for “hate speech”.
ECAW says
There is no compulsion in censorship.
Frank Courtney says

Richard Paulsen says
All the time media is saying there is lack of nurses, of flats, of police force, of jobs. Never mentioning the influx of females and males from the third world.
Goes on and on, voters voting the same every election. Looks more as a third world country than an industrialized. As if Sweden needs people from the third world.
The same in most of Europe. Swedish politicians in EU intending to force those with fewer muslims than Sweden to let in. Madness it never is changing. Lots trying to.
dumbledoresarmy says
Swedes who can read English *must* get hold of ex-Muslim Sam Solomon’s books “The Mosque Exposed” and “Al -Hijra: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration”. Ex-Muslim Patrick Sookhdeo’s books “Faith, Power and Territory” and “Islam in Britain” explain and describe *exactly* the same phenomenon.
Ideally, Sam Solomon’s books would be translated into Swedish, Danish and Norwegian – and into Icelandic! – and circulated, as rapidly as possible. If an ‘official’ translation cannot be arranged, just do a quick-n-dirty bootlegversion. YOu want the information to get out, FAST.
Another approach would be to get the books – they’re not that expensive – then read, reread, summarise, try to boil down the main points into pamphlet form, something that can be mailed out to *every* politician and aspiring politician.
Ever since Mohammed and his ‘companions’ turned up at Yathrib (now Medina) pretending to be ‘persecuted’ ‘refugees’, in need of hospitality, infiltration and subversion has been the preferred Mohammedan method, if they don’t have the numbers and resources to engage in a massed mob assault.
dumbledoresarmy says
Perhaps the Swedish Democrats could sponsor the translation of Solomon’s “Al Hijra” and “The Mosque Exposed”.
*Every* member of the party – especially those already in the Swedish parliament – needs to have a copy, preferably translated for them by a professional translator, in their briefcase, or on their smartphone, to be referred to at will.
Additional thought.
The Swedish Democrats, in the wake of this Swedish government report, can start pressing for the Muslim Brotherhood to be *banned* and for ALL its operatives, agents and supporters within Sweden – especially financial supporters – to be tracked down, rooted out, and DEPORTED from Sweden (if they have got Swedish citizenship it must be cancelled; if they were born in Sweden, then they should be sentenced to Lifelong Exile), and EVERY Muslim-Brotherhood-associated mosque must be identified, investigated (including its finances), surprise-searched, and then… shut down and razed to the ground (unless in heritage premises that can be fumigated and restored to proper Infidel use).

According to the American Thinker, Muslims have murdered an estimated 270 million people since the time of Mohammed (far more than Hitler, Stalin and Mao combined), and enslaved another 185 million.
American (and I assume, other) liberals apparently approve of such behavior, or they wouldn’t UNCONDITIONALLY support Muslims.

billybob says
The UK has just come to a different and totally clueless view of the Muslim Brotherhood…
The British government has rowed back from the main conclusion of a controversial 2014 review into the Muslim Brotherhood conducted by John Jenkins, the UK’s then-ambassador to Saudi Arabia, which suggested that the organisation had served as a “rite of passage” for violent militants.
It now appears to agree with an assessment offered by the parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee (FAC) following its inquiry into the government’s policy towards “Political Islam” last year which concluded that political Islamists were a “firewall” against violent extremism and should be engaged with, either when in power or in opposition.
The damaging admission comes in a series of responses from the British foreign office to the highly critical inquiry which were published on Monday.
In its responses, the foreign office agreed that the vast majority of political Islamists were not involved in violence, but rather were the victims of violence themselves.
It also confirmed that political Islamists who self-identify as democrats should be allowed to participate in elections, and that the British government should engage with them, both when they are in power and in opposition.
***
It said: “As events in the Middle East and North Africa have demonstrated, those who are subject to repression, feel disenfranchised, or locked out of the political process may turn to violence if they are unable to change their situation through peaceful means.
“Political Islamist groups, including their senior leaders, have a crucial role to play in ensuring that this happens in the MENA region”
In other words, if you just give in to them, they won’t use violence – for the most part.

That was a very interesting read. Only 12 pages, took me about 25 minutes. Very educational. The Muslim Brotherhood are seditious and must be banned, their influence extinguished. Yes they can be a moderating force – when it suits their goals, but this is just expediency. The Takfiri goal of ultimate supremacy is undiminished.
There was mention of one offshoot from the MB in Britain that evolved to embrace British values. Even so, the Quran, Hadiths, and Sunna remain their core texts like a cancerous tumor, constantly threatening to metastasize. We will never be safe until this tumour is excised. Islam itself must be defeated in the end.
ECAW says
MB’s the name, sedition’s the game.
Jeanette says
It’s been a while since I’ve read the mission statement of the MB, but I don’t believe that being a moderating force is part of their mission!

Terrifying stuff–but just glad to see that there are enough patriots left in the Swedish government to issue such a report. I just hope enough act on this, and don’t go back to sleep there.
Geppetto says
the “established structure of values among the country’s political elite [which] places a high value on ‘acceptance’ and ‘tolerance’ of citizens who are in some sense different from the mainstream”.
Sound familiar? The Muslim Brotherhood very effectively using “their hands” until they self destruct. It’s happening here in America too though the light of truth is beginning to peek over the horizon. “Noon” is a long way off.
dumbledoresarmy says
From the article – “…the document takes aim at “political elites” for fostering a doctrine of multiculturalism and silence, which can help and facilitate the nefarious ends of anti-democratic organisation like the Brotherhood.
“Somewhat predictably, however, the publication of such claims in Sweden – where open criticism of liberal, multicultural ideals is rare – has caused a row, with critics labelling the report “conspiratorial” and claiming it misrepresents Islam.

Interesting.
They commissioned it and published it even though they must have known that a sh*t-storm would ensue.
Now, let’s remember those two Swedish Democrat leaders who wrote that public article stating that “Trump was right” (about the havoc the mohammedan invaders are wreaking in Sweden).
Now, let’s remember that Swedish senior cop who *dared* to post his cri de coeur on FB.
Methinks there are rumblings in the ranks; is the Praetorian Guard preparing to revolt? (I wonder how many Infidel Swedish law-enforcement, and security and intelligence personnel, have been quietly voting Swedish Democrat, over the past five-ten years?).
