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

Sweden becomes new base for “international radical Islamic extremist networks”

Feb 14, 2018 8:51 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Swedish researcher Peder Hyllengren of the Swedish Defence College has claimed that Sweden has become a hub of international Islamic extremism and that hundreds of Swedish residents have built up a vast network of jihadi contacts.

“Hyllengren blamed the political correctness of the Swedish establishment for the inaction in fighting Islamic radicalism,” and he stated that “you risk being identified as racist in a way that you did not see in other European countries.”

Sweden continues to descend into disorder. During the summer, it was described to be on the brink of civil war, with the country’s largest shopping center being taken over as a no-go-zone.

The country’s leaders have been passive observers in the face of an advancing jihad conquest.  Other European nations face the same stages of demise that Sweden is experiencing, unless there is a turning of the tide.

Jihad Watch noted 13 years ago:

Today, in the West, we are witnessing the Islamic stage of weakness, but the stage of violent jihad is coming sooner or later. The reality is exactly the opposite of what multiculturalists claim, who think clashes with Muslims will diminish in time as we “get used to” each other. They won’t. They will become more dangerous, as Muslims grow bolder and work to silence the media and moderates while supporting terrorism. If we fail to understand this, the War against political Islam in 2020 won’t be in Tehran, Riyadh or Baghdad. It will be in Paris, London and Amsterdam, and maybe in Montreal, Sydney, Detroit…

Political Islam has overtaken Sweden, with violence, no-go zones, and Sharia patrols. Now Sweden is becoming a base for international jihad terror activity. And the jihad ideology will continue its advance in every Western nation.

“Expert: Sweden Has Become a ‘Base’ for International Radical Islamic Extremist Networks”, by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, February 13, 2018:

Swedish researcher Peder Hyllengren of the Swedish Defence College has claimed that Sweden has become a hub of international Islamic extremism and that hundreds of Swedish residents have built up a vast network of jihadi contacts.

Hyllengren claimed that jihadi networks have been allowed to operate in Sweden for at least a decade and that Swedish lawmakers have been lagging on proper legislation to deal with the problem, Swedish broadcaster SVT reports.

According to the researcher, Swedish residents have been in contact with Islamic terrorists like Mohamed Belkaid who was shot during a raid in Brussels by police who were searching for terrorist Salah Abdeslam who had participated in the 2015 Paris Bataclan massacre.

Hyllengren blamed the political correctness of the Swedish establishment for the inaction in fighting Islamic radicalism along with “the activism that existed against both the security services and those who tried to lift the seriousness of these issues. This meant that the threshold became higher for both politicians and others to enter this area.”

“You risk being identified as racist in a way that you did not see in other European countries. There, this question was as uncontroversial as the importance of combating Nazism and right-wing extremism. But in Sweden, it took a long time before we could discuss jihadism in the same way that we discussed Nazism for a long time,” he added.

Islamic extremism has seen a dramatic increase over the last decade according to the Swedish security service (Säpo). In less than a decade, the country saw the number of violent radicals rise from 200 to over 2,000.

Last year Säpo chief Anders Thornberg blamed mass migration for the increase of radicals saying: “This is the ‘new normal’ … It is a historic challenge that extremist circles are growing.”

Mass migration has also led to the formation of heavily migrant-populated “no-go zones” in the suburbs of major cities like Stockholm and Malmö. Violence among gangs which operate in the areas has become such a problem that Sweden’s Prime Minister has refused to rule out deploying the military…

    Well…I can see that the Group hug didn’t work in Sweden… So…The Scandinavian roots that so many Minnesotans are so proud of here in Minnesota, and their identical approach to this situation here should be just as effective..

    Anyone want to send the members of the Minnesota legislature a memo?

    Do not send it to our governor however. He is literally “out to lunch” if you know what I mean.

    Anyone want to send the members of the Minnesota legislature a memo?

    Our Minnesota legislature now proposes to give these folks another $18 Million Dollars, atop the $2 Million Dollars they gave them two years ago – TO PERSUADE THEM NOT TO ENGAGE IN HORRIBLE CRIMES, WHICH ARE OCCURRING MONTHLY NOW LIKE CLOCKWORK, AND TO NOT JOIN ISIS, essentially.

    Shortly thereafter, 30 Somali men – 3 DAYS IN A ROW – attacked, and threatened, and chased women on foot , and with vehicles, off the beaches of the very affluent area of Minneapolis, called Lake Calhoun – “THREATENING TO KIDNAP AND RAPE” THEM… They didn’t even get a parking ticket.. (I have the police report – “TERRORISTIC THREATS”)

    That’s cuzzzz we’re so special here in Minnesota.. Our group hug will so much better than the folks in Sweden though.. You betcha!

    I guess the $2 Million Dollars wasn’t quite enough…

    Do not send the memo to our governor however. He is literally “out to lunch” if you know what I mean.

    Peder Hyllengren is a voice crying in the wilderness. Unfortunately, he can only go so far in denouncing the KNOW-NOTHING-ISM of the ruling party of Sweden. He has a clear understanding of the jihad doctrine, or its meaning, motive and methods… unlike soft-headed neo-Marxists who believe against evidence in a big, happy Utopia based on the destruction of national identity!

    In fact, the ruling Swedish Socialist Workers’ Party (SAP) is using the migrants to keep itself in perpetual power in parliament. They court the jihadist vote against the Swedish people themselves, for the sole reason retaining control of the government. This is a cynical, but very evil game and it will end badly with the jihadists causing greater and greater damage and with the no-go zones expanding their lawlessness and sending out tentacles of organized crime and terrorism every day of the year.

    Welcome to the NIGHTMARE OF ISLAM, YOU GULLIBLE, NAIVE, SWEDISH POLLYANNAS!

      At least in the USA, back in the day, the KNOW-NOTHINGS were a party of stalwart nationalists who were AGAINST immigrants flooding in….partly for good reason.

      They’d DEFINITELY be against the Muslim incursion now, and of course, would be strong TRUMPers.

    If he continues to make states like those quoted in the article, this gentleman will soon enough be prosecuted for hate speech by the ruling feminazi government in Sweden. He may be assassinated by Jihadi soldiers before the government gets around to destroying him.

      Or it’ll help to bring about a Turning Point.

      This insanity and suicide can’t (mustn’t) last.

        Perhaps, but I believe Sweden is past the turning point and accelerating the pace to oblivion.

    I think it is time for JW readers as well as Robert to get acquainted with the term called JAMMAT POLITICS… And let me explain what this term and I wish Spencer uses this term in future posts.. Jammat politics is what the so called moderate Muslims like Linda Sarsour do in infidel majority lands. Jammat politics is also routinely done by Islamic orgs like CAIR. And now let me define this very toxic term further and I have no hesitation in terming this as VERY VERY TOXIC.

    Muslims, when in minority in infidel majority lands like India, the Greater West etc, have to live day in and out in complete Taqiyya, lest their real extremist nature is revealed to the infidels. Consequently, Muslims in infidel lands are very shifty and extremely cunning.. constantly ducking and weaving and deflecting….and this they teach to their children too and consequently, second gen Muslims in infidel lands too become very cunning and shifty in nature.

    This constant lying and cheating becomes second nature to them and it manifests in many forms. Worming into infidel corridors of power, getting into high and powerful positions, constantly creating mischief in the land, twisting and turning each and every statements (even innocent statements) made by those on the RIGHT. exploiting RIGHT-LEFT, MALE-FEMALE divisions in society to Islam’s own ends, spreading malicious rumors and lies in society esp in their own Muslim community.

    And one of their favorite rumors is the ISLAM IS IN DANGER and MUSLIMS ARE GOING TO BE WIPED OUT…constantly criticizing native culture and religion and mocking them, encouraging Muslims to do love-Jehaad, land-Jehaad and other forms of insidious behavior but all the time having a smile on the face, And to top it all.. they become MASTERS in playing the eternal victims…

    Jammat politics is even seen in private organizations where Muslims are employed alongside non-Muslims. And wherever any Muslim is employed, the environment becomes very divisive and toxic over a period of time and the Muslim is in a constant process of showing his/her superiority over non-Muslims by hook or crook.. Most of the time, Muslims will somehow become very pally with the boss and start exerting undue influence in all major decisions concerning the org….. Islam is a very political ideology and therefore Muslims are one of the most political creatures that U will ever see

    Jammat politics is another toxic Trojan, that completely destroys the infidel society from within and helps in the final takeover by Islam. Ps note that Huma Abedin is a classic example of Jammat politics and how she had wormed her way to become Hilary’s right hand… I shudder to think what would have happened to the USA had Hillary become the President..

      Excellent post. Jamaat politics is how the stealth jihad advances.

      And this is why they are cuddled up with the liberals/Democraps.
      Jihadies know the the greatest weapon they have here in the west and in America is the liberals. All they have to do is sit back and watch them destroy our way of life like they are doing right now.

    That prediction has come true and it is chilling!

    When muslims talk about cocktails and magazines in the lounge of a bar, they mean ammunition storage (magazines) and grenades (molotov cocktails). (After all, they don’t drink alcohol!)
