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

Sweden: Islamic State jihadists recruiting in “basement mosques”

Feb 28, 2019 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

A report states that Islamic State jihadists “who have returned to Sweden in recent years have set up ‘basement mosques’ where they have been recruiting new members.”

It is no surprise that reports of this kind would be coming from ultra-welcoming Sweden with the downfall of the Islamic State, as thousands of Islamic State jihadists return “home,” and given the group’s repeated call to carry out  its jihad missions throughout the West. The complacency and willful ignorance of the Swedes is as clear in this story as it is in the one Jihad Watch reported about recently, in which a Muslim woman in hijab with ties to jihadist mosque was chosen to be featured on a municipality’s big welcome sign.

The jihad indoctrination, and the jihad threat in general, “has been growing in Sweden in recent years with Peder Hyllengren of the Swedish Defence University claiming the country has become a hub of international Islamic extremism.”

“Islamic State Returnees Allegedly Recruiting in Sweden,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, February 27, 2019:

A report has claimed that Islamic State members who have returned to Sweden in recent years have set up “basement mosques” where they have been recruiting new members.

According to the Swedish Security Service (Säpo), around 150 out of a total of 300 Islamic State supporters and fighters have returned to Sweden. It is believed that some of those returning fighters have begun recruiting new extremists in Malmö, many of them young people, TV4 Nyheterna reports.

“They can be seen as heroes for young people who are at risk and radicalised. It increases concern, of course, and creates instability. People are worried about their children,” said anti-violent extremism activist Michael Helders.

mother in the heavily migrant-populated suburb of Rosengård, which is often referred to as a no-go suburb, who works against the growing influence of jihadists said, “The situation here in Rosengård is really bad.”

The Swedish National Defence College claims that around 20 Islamic State members currently live in Malmö.

This comes after a previous survey released in December showed that few municipalities across the country knew of the whereabouts of the returned fighters.

The local government of Stockholm was only able to identify one out of a possible 35 to 40 fighters who had returned and that individual turned out to live in another municipality entirely.

So far, Sweden has not prosecuted a single returned Islamic State member…..

The problem of radical Islamic extremism has been growing in Sweden in recent years with Peder Hyllengren of the Swedish Defence University claiming the country has become a hub of international Islamic extremism.

    Trudeau is learning what diversity really means; serves him right. (It means a house divided.)

    “Ethics watchdog will decide truth in SNC-Lavalin affair, Trudeau says”

    https://bc.ctvnews.ca/ethics-watchdog-will-decide-truth-in-snc-lavalin-affair-trudeau-says-1.4316761

    Hopefully, this means a change in government in October, 2019.

      Jihadi Justin has been doing in Canada what the Swedish Leftards did: THEY CREATED ENCLAVES OF JIHADISTS. Jihadi Justin has been setting up his jihadist pets in brand new, newly-constructed homes while homeless Canadians live on the streets in winter. Many Canadians are aware of this travesty. No doubt the reward for the largesse to jihadists is that they will create jihad training centers across Canada and use them to attack the US.

    Use a small army of CPAs and attorneys to investigate every jihad attack. Follow 100% of the money back to its source. Track anyone involved, in any way. Then use the RICO statutes to jail, confiscated, and shut down all involved. That includes:

    M1 – Shutting down mosques.
    M2 – Arrest mullahs.
    M3 – Follow, and confiscate, all jihad money back to its source.

      What form of “Muslim Reformation” would take place after this implementation of RICO ?

      How can you reform the Qur’an? It is a perfect document, right?

      It would be a good start. After all, Al Capone did his time for tax evasion…

      The only TRUE way to revamp Islam and their stance on world Satanism would be to use what they have used to keep Islam alive all these many centuries and that is FORCE and FEAR..But no one in governments has the guts to do it. So guess Satan will win….FOR A “TIME” , that is.

    And to think, Arn the Templar had been from Sweden …..

    Shameful how the viking culture (which also bartered with Muslims in “trade”)
    has not just sunk to low ebb but has disappeared to the extent that few Swede
    have no bravery left.

    Mosques are not used for religious purposes. They are used for political purposes. They should not be allowed to pretend that they are a religious building, when in reality they are a springboard for violence.

      “Hey pa,I think the muslims are “praying” in the basement again …and they seem to be jumping around a lot….maybbe they are those “nice” sufis?”

      “OK son…release the heavily greased Attack Pigs….allahu and akbar….”

      And muslims “pray” in their mosques to..

      allah ” the best of deceivers” whose greatest enemy is ..Jesus Christ
      {sahih muslim vol 5 hadith #5611}

      A god who preaches HATRED{al walaa al baraa},endless violence via jihad.

      Having satanists in the basement would be bad enough:having “holy” muslims would be worse…

    Just imagine Hitler founded a church and there would be places where you could listen to his speeches and learn about “Mein Kampf”. Have your children being indoctrinated in Nazism. And getting told every single day by “preachers”, that only sticking to “the word” of Hitler’s writings and the “Endsieg” (“final struggle”) were the most important duties of a “true believer” in life.

    Would you consider that to be ok? A place of “peace”? “Only” a religion and “old words”, that can be “easily misunderstood”?
