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

Number of jihadis in Sweden has grown from 100s to 1000s

Jun 16, 2017 3:30 pm By Robert Spencer

“We have never seen anything like it before,” said Sapo chief Anders Thornberg.

Ain’t that the truth, Thornberg. And why haven’t you seen anything like it before? Because Sweden’s Muslim population wasn’t as large as it now. Indeed, and it is a problem that the Swedish government has created, and for which it bears full responsibility.

“Militant Islamists in Sweden have grown ‘from 100s to 1,000s’ – security police,” RT, June 16, 2017 (thanks to Graham):

Sweden has seen the number of militant extremists among its population surge in recent years, according to the chief of the country’s security police, who noted that the vast majority support violent Islamist ideologies.

“We have never seen anything like it before,” Sapo chief Anders Thornberg told Swedish news agency TT.

“We would say that it has gone from hundreds to thousands now,” he added.

Thornberg said Sapo currently receives around 6,000 intelligence tips a month regarding terrorism and extremism, compared to an average of 2,000 a month in 2012.

In addition, Osama Krayem, a Swedish citizen, has been charged with committing terrorist murders in the 2016 Brussels metro bombing.

Sapo stated previously that around 300 people from Sweden are known to have traveled to Syria and Iraq to join organizations such as IS since 2012.

Meanwhile, a Swedish police report recently added eight areas to its list of so-called “no go zones,” which are described as “especially vulnerable” areas with high rates of crime and poverty that might host violent extremism….

    No go zone….in Sweden…..I’m pretty sure we were told that is fake news.

      Sweden should revoke their citizenship, and bar then from returning. If they aren’t citizens, revoke their visas or residency permits. Otherwise after ISIS is defeated, the returnee Jihadis will wreak havoc on Sweden.

    And the world laughed at POTUS for saying ” last night in Sweden…..”.

      Every night in Sweden is more like it.

    I think the many jihadis in Sweden are due to the many Muslims in Sweden.

    Surprise, or was that the idea from the start? Did the Swedish authorities bring them in knowing this would happen?

      The feminists in Sweden were fed up with the domesticated Swedish men and wanted to import some exiting noble savages to do their exercises on. That was the original idea.

        “The feminists…..wanted ….some exiting noble savages……”

        If only they were “exiting…..”

          Thank you, PC! I can only agree with you. Of cause it should be “exciting” instead of “exiting”. Sometimes my spellchecker outwits me. (English is not my native language)

          Couldn’t resist pointing out the accidental joke that your spell-checker made…..and your English is vastly better than my grasp of any other language; where are you from, if you’ll excuse my curiosity ?

          Thank you again, PC! My mother was from Sweden and my father of another nationality. –

    The extreme naivety of Swedes is matched only by their SUICIDAL IDEATION.

    …………………….

    That’s because Sweden keeps letting in more and more ravening Mohammedans.

    So if anyone proposes that the solution to terrorism is to open the gates to Muslim immigration and provide Muslim immigrants with an elevated special status, one need only reference Sweden to know how it would turn out.

    The world is so politically correct & stupid, only when a western country falls to Islam will they wake up to the danger. Sweden will be the first to fall due to its massive stupidity.

    They are ready to deny black harmless Christians entry visas but too willing to admit terrorists in droves. As you make your bed so lay on it. Soon you will be fugitives in your own country.

    All anyone who wonders how muslims operate needs to do is take a look around the globe–
    muslims aren’t terribly good at keeping secrets for long just ask any of the nutty muslims that
    engineered the over 30,000 terrorist attacks since just 9/11

    Until now Europe’s no-go zones were always denied by politicians and police, leading directly to their losing all credibility.

    The elites have to stop lying to the people and stop GASLIGHTING us!

    GASLIGHTING occurs when they try to tell you that YOU’RE THE ONE WHO’S CRAZY HERE! The migrants are barbarians! NO! YOU ARE A FASCIST FOR NOTICING THEIR BARBARITY!

    How dare YOU call barbarity ‘BARBARIC’ !!!

    They’re addicted to that luchious Swedish poon. And they’re getting it too.

    What possesses a people to surrender their country by inviting hostile foreigners into their country…over and over again? It’s not only the possible threat of embedded “terrorists” but it’s the bigotry and animosity Muslims have toward non-Muslims in general. It’s in the DNA of Islam. Muslims don’t want to assimilate into the culture of Western Civilization, they want to conquer it for Allah. That’s their historical track record which can’t be denied. So disgusted are these Globalist Leftists to what they call “Nazis” i.e., those Swedes who are pro-Sweden and anti-Muslim migration BUT, these Globalist Leftists are ideologically blind to the fact that they are rolling out the red carpet to the conquering IslamoNazis. Or are they? They have to know they are slitting the throats of their fellow citizens and as well as their own. Temporarily they will be “useful infidels” and retain their power/money (like the Vichy Gov’t in France under Hitler) but eventually the traitors to Sweden will be eaten by the crocodile. I guess they don’t care because they have nothing to live for.
