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

Sweden refuses to investigate hundreds of acts of Muslim violence against Christian refugees

Mar 8, 2018 8:30 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Despite a documented rise in attacks against Christian refugees by Muslim migrants, “Sweden’s government has launched no serious investigation.”

The Muslim violence against Christian refugees has been ongoing right from the beginning of the refugee crisis. It is also routine in Islamic states.

Open Doors USA reports that “215 million Christians faced the most severe persecution in 2017, resulting in 3,066 deaths and 1,020 rapes mainly targeting women.” Egypt, Jordan, Syria and the Palestinian territories were also cited as among the most dangerous places on earth for Christians.

While North Korea tops the list of the world’s worst persecuting countries, in second place and occupying every place down to number 14 are majority-Muslim countries, with the single exception of Eritrea.

Sweden — like Germany — has welcomed an astronomical number of Muslim refugees, which has translated into mass attacks on women, violent no-go zones and now rising Christian persecution. Many Christian refugees in Sweden have been asking if there is anywhere safe for them after escaping violence and persecution in Iraq and Syria.

“Sweden Refuses to Investigate 512 Acts of Muslim Religious Violence Against Christian Refugees”, by Tyler O’Neil, PJ Media, March 7, 2018:

As Syrian and other Middle Eastern refugees seek and find asylum in Europe, they bring their religious tensions and persecution with them. Specifically, Muslim migrants often persecute Christian migrants, or immigrants who converted to Christianity. Open Doors Deutschland documented 743 attacks on Christians in Germany in 2016, and German police documented another 100 in 2017. Similar violence plagues Christian refugees in Sweden, but the Scandinavian country has yet to issue an investigation.

“I fled the war to avoid this kind of thing,” a Christian refugee from Syria known by the alias Amir, told police, according a local newspaper in 2015. A 26-year-old jihadist and fellow Syrian refugee threatened to “slaughter” Amir, cut his throat, and even harm his family back in Syria. The man who threatened him was eventually sentenced to probation and fined 8,000 kronor (approximately $900) in damages.

A survey published by Open Doors Sweden last year found that Amir is far from alone. One hundred and twenty-three Christian asylum-seekers reported religiously motivated persecution, and 512 separate incidents. Christian refugees received 65 violent assaults, 55 death threats, 7 cases of sexual assault, along with instances of social exclusion, insults, contempt, and threats. More than half, 53 percent, said they had been violently attacked at least once. Almost half, 45 percent, reported receiving at least one death threat.

More than three-quarters of those who faced such persecution were converts to Christianity, and almost all of the perpetrators were Muslim. Other refugees or immigrants carried out more than four-in-five (81 percent) of the attacks, 415 out of 512. The most popular solution suggested by victims? Separate housing for Christian and Muslim immigrants.

“One time they told my daughter that she was not allowed to eat in the canteen without wearing a headscarf, if she wanted to keep her head,” one of the survey participants told Open Doors. “Another time, they told my son that he was not allowed to have a visible cross around his neck if he wanted to remain in one piece.”….

    SWEDEN HAS IMPORTED MEMBERS OF THE MOST SADISTIC IDEOLOGY THAT EXISTS.

    They will behave VICIOUSLY. Who is surprised? Swedes, you are suicidal !

    Sverige har importerade medlemmar av det mest saddistiska idéologin som existerar

    De kommer att uppträda våldsamt. Vem är förvånad?

    Svenskar, ni är självmordiske !

    If multiculturalism is going so well in Sweden, why does it keep demanding that every other country takes on its migrants ?

    Sweden should be importing hundreds of thousands more migrants if they have been such a benefit to their country.

    • LeftisruiningCanada says

      They seem to want everyone to believe that imposting many migrants is like eating candy – you shouyld want to do it because you know it’s nice.

      But really, it’s more like bad tasting medicine or chemo therapy – you have to trust the one in authority that it’s going to be good for you, because you can tell it’s going to hurt without anyone telling you a thing.

        *importing*, though making a verb out of “impostor” also fits in this context.

    I hate this manipulation of knowledge. Smug leftists love to say that there is no proof that there is any connection between migrants and any up tick in violent crime or rape. They don’t believe there are no go zones either.

    People who must deal with the reality on the ground, like police, ambulance drivers, people forced to live in or near dangerous migrant areas etc. know the truth.

    The other people who believe all is well because of missing or bad data are willfully ignorant. The only thing they see when they wake up in the morning is the lining of their rectum.

    Sweden’s government is obviously afraid that reality has an islamophobic “bias”.

    I don’t suppose it has occurred to them that you reap what you sow.

    • David M says

      Mar 8, 2018 at 7:21 pm

      Of course not. Leftist socialists live in a theoretical world in their own mind as things should be, reality is just something to be ignored to them.

      • Karen says

        Mar 8, 2018 at 9:40 pm

        And if the theoretical world crashes into despotic ruin (USSR, Cambodia, East Germany, North Korea, Cuba, and host of other places), there are plenty of other countries and human lives to experiment with.

        • LeftisruiningCanada says

          Mar 9, 2018 at 10:25 pm

          Yes. I’m sure they will get it right eventually.

        This is so appalling….I know people who live in Sweden and they have told me many in the government are in complete denial about the impact of immigration from degenerative individuals [almost all are 20 something men of Muslim background ] that have no job, no homes and no direction. So they are causing havoc on the citizens of that homeland….Sadly the same is happening all over the world. For some reason highly intelligent and functioning people just don’t get the FACT that not all people have the same moral compass, nor the high standards of behavior and Spiritual Ideals…

    • LeftisruiningCanada says

      Mar 8, 2018 at 8:38 pm

      Makes you wonder what might be sown, if one sows the whirlwind to start with.

      Gah, error between keyboard and user.

    If my friend of recent Swedish descent – 2nd generation American, speaks fluent Swedish – is representative of the average Swede, they are dead as a nation. He is openly, flagrantly anti-white and anti-West. He considers white racism to be endemic – systematic, institutionalized, implicit, explicit, everywhere. He denies the existence of racism on the part of anyone who is not white. He is highly intelligent and impossible to reason with. He advocates totalitarian measures to combat white racism which he believes is by far the biggest social problem on earth.

    Many secular leaders and politicians in Sweden and other European nations are godless heathens. Not only are they atheistic, but harbor contempt and disdain for Christians and Christianity. Not Islam…just Christianity

    Remember this:
    https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/08/sweden-christian-to-be-deported-to-iran-told-its-your-problem-you-decided-to-become-a-christian

    Anyway, this reminds me Paul’s words in Romans 1:28.

    These people have rejected God and are now turned over to a reprobate mind and it is destroying the nation

    This is a spiritual war as well as a physical war.

    Until that is realized, it’ll get worse.

    What is ironic is that many of these people reject religion and want no parts of God, yet they embrace Islam. Wait till they get a Muslim president or prime minister and Sharia is installed and enforced.

    Secularists, agnostics, and atheists will be the first on the chopping block when Islam takes over. If they reject Christ now, wait until they either have to praise Allah and quote the Shahada or off comes the head.

    Anyone remember Iran pre-1979

    If this keeps up, one day the world will look back and say “remember Sweden and Germany pre-???”

    The sad thing is it was given to them not taken by force.

    Sweden will eventually collapse under the weight of its own contradictions!
