Jihad Watch

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

Islamic State jihadi returned to Sweden for medical care, then went back to the jihad

Mar 5, 2019 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“We give care to rich and poor, to murderers and people sitting in prison. If people need to be punished, there are other parts of society that can do it. Healthcare should not become part of the apparatus of punishment.”

Right. But he should have been arrested when he returned to Sweden, or not allowed to return in the first place. He joined an entity that is at war with Sweden. That should disqualify him from receiving any Swedish benefits.

“Isis jihadi ‘returned to Sweden to treat war wounds,'” The Local, March 1, 2019:

An Isis jihadi fighter returned to his home in Sweden to have wounds to his shoulder treated for free at a state-run hospital, before returning to the front line in Syria, Sweden’s Expressen newspaper has reported.

Khaled Shahadeh, 28, returned to Sweden in 2015 for medical care before returning to Syria that summer, his father told the newspaper, a claim the newspaper has confirmed by other sources.

Shahadeh is one of four Isis members from Gothenburg and the nearby city of Borås judged as a continuing threat to Sweden, alongside the convert Michael Skråmo, Nader el Shaya, and Mohamud Saeed Adib.

Thomas Lindén, chairman of the ethics advisory panel at Sweden’s Läkarförbund doctors’ union, said it was wrong to expect doctors to consider anything apart medical needs when deciding who to treat.

“We don’t judge people. We provide care according to the medical need and without looking at what a person is or what they have done,” he told the newspaper.

“We give care to rich and poor, to murderers and people sitting in prison. If people need to be punished, there are other parts of society that can do it. Healthcare should not become part of the apparatus of punishment.”…

    ……………….

    Yes–he should not have been allowed to return to Sweden, or else arrested and charged with war crimes.

    So if I have a serious expensive disease, I can fly to Sweden, proclaim myself a Jihadi, and get free medical care? Alright!

      Yes, this is the obvious solution for those who cannot afford American health care.

    A doctors should call the police so they can arrest a WAR CRIMINAL who committed CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

    Doctors are also responsible for the security of society … everyone is.

      Agreed. It is, of course, possible that the police, too, would turn a blind eye. Tommy Robinson made a point the other day of just how dangerous Political Correctness is. Sweden is an exemplar of the EU’s facilitation and funding of jihad (see Bat Ye’or’s “Eurabia”). Such facilitation and funding of jihad are imposed on member states *with local collusion*. But is that collusion anywhere as active and as ideologically-driven as in Sweden? These doctors appear conveniently to forget that prevention is better than cure.

        Anjuli and mortimer…I agree with you both.

    There is all the difference in the world between treating a wounded prisoner, and offering material support and assistance to the enemy: Thomas Linden is knowingly assisting in the murder of innocents.

      I’m afraid this is true.

      OT–Phil, did you get my email?

    Don’t worry Sweden. He’ll be back. You’ll get another chance not to arrest him.

      And next time he’ll be waging violent Jihad against the Swedish people.

    ‘Healthcare should not become part of the apparatus of punishment.”…’

    Nor should it become a safe haven for enemies of the state

    Last I checked, Syria has hospitals.

    In all seriousness, are the Swedes too stupid to live?

    • Rufolino says

      Mar 6, 2019 at 3:27 am

      “Yes” is the unfortunate answer to that question, and in a few years Sweden will get what’s coming, in full force. As will several other misguided European countries. What tragedy.

    Sweden is blinded by its own righteousness. The disease of the rabid left has swept through the country like the bubonic plague. All sense of rationality and self preservation has left them totally open to exploitation by the invading Muslims who have freely been allowed into Sweden at the expense of its own people.

    If it wasn’t so real and true, it would be thought of as impossible. Laughable. Unbelievable. Irrational. But no, this kind of thing is happening literally on a daily basis.

    It is the mind f***ed left that are working against their own people under the ficticious guise of ‘morality’ and ‘human compassion’. As if these Jihadists are poor under priviledged souls in desperate need of help, support and understanding, whereas in reality what they really need is a bullet to the head! A solution that is 100% effective and supported by the majority of us in the West. Their souls have been sold to the Devil!

    When rational thinking people of the West start to realise and accept that Islam is the ‘religion’ of Satan, and all that follow it become the Devils disciples, the sooner this kind of nonsense can be turned on its head!

    1400 years of historical facts, 270 million murders, and an unimaginable amount of grotesque pain, torture and suffering on so many more innocent people, prove unequivocally that this cult is one that was modelled by Satan himself. It is the platform he uses to spread his evil throughout our lands. And he does this by deception. Whole countries and even the Pope have been deceived by its lies and duplicitous nature. These are indeed dark times!

    But…. he needed a repaired shoulder, because he could not shoot very well , and you need a good shoulder to decapitate somebody.

    Little story:
    A man killed another man, after his deed, he went to a holy master and told him what he had done. He asked the master to forgive him, and what he should do. The Master answered : It is not up to me to forgive you, that is up to the man himself and his family, and what you should do now, go straight to the nearest police
    office and turn yourself in right now.

    May be and a lot of times when people become holier than thou, the end may be not so nice. You can help somebody health wise, but the police should have arrested him and the doctors should have warned the police. Suppose every country would do this, are you mad? Why don’t you give Sweden right away to the Jihadi’s, but keep them there. This is pure insanity, but , when they come, the will spare you for a while.
    (you hope and believe it)? Insane

    If it were a Swedish nationalist or a counterjihad writer who was brought to the hospital injured, the hospital staff’s sensitivity would have leaned toward poisoning him for the greater good of the post-Swedish framework.

    Remember that Robert Spencer was nearly murdered by a doctor in Iceland when he visited that nation for a talk.

    “Just over a year ago, a young Icelandic Leftist poisoned me in Reykjavik after I gave a lecture on the jihad threat. In the hospital thereafter, a Leftist doctor neglected to perform basic tests on me, such that I could have easily died from the poisoning. A year later, no one has been arrested, and Iceland’s medical ethics board has declined to discipline the doctor. The whole episode illustrates what those who are known to dissent from the Leftist agenda can expect from Leftist authorities: institutionalized indifference and injustice.”

    He walked in a Swedish hospital for care, tells the staff he was injured fighting terrorism, that is what a jihadist thinks he is doing…..the non believers are terrorists in his mind, he is admitted…it works just ask the Prince or a imam The hospital did their duty, and think he is out of here save the facility. They don’t want to upset the fighter…or insult the muslim doctors that may be on staff that may give him medical care. It would be islamophobic to turn him away. A little deception goes a long way for the fighter….the Swedes have already experienced their ingratitude and hurt feelings. Maybe he won’t come back for the socialist, besides their inside the gate.

    That Thomas Linden person sounds like he’s trying to earn Brownie points with SOMEONE, probably Muhamaden’s… I may hold different opinions from some people however, because I am American and I believe that, unfortunate as it is, people (including myself) should get only the minimum of health care to stay alive unless they PAY the doctor for his skills, education, time, etc .I have to SAVE UP MONEY for medical/dental procedures.
    ALSO, this man is taking advantage of care provided by GOOD CITIZENS tax dollars! But you can’t blame him! Not when Sweden is ALLOWING him to do it! If the tables were turned, this man would KILL A SWEDE in need of medical care!!
    I think this goes to prove how badly the West is being destroyed by it’s “leaders”.
