“Swedish-Norwegian ‘Islamophobia’ expert turned Islamic State jihadist Michael Skråmo has been arrested by Kurdish forces in Syria, with sources claiming Norway wants to prosecute the extremist.”
Skråmo went through the jihadist ranks. As an “Islamophobia expert,” he was a stealth jihadist, and then advanced to the ranks of violent jihad. An “Islamophobia expert” serves as a Sharia police officer who works against the freedom of speech, attempting to shut down any speech that is considered to insult Islam or discuss the Islamic texts that are used to justify human rights abuses worldwide, including the texts that Islamic State jihadists invoke to justify their actions. To openly discuss these obvious truths renders one “Islamophobic.”
Magnus Ranstorp, who is described as a “terrorist researcher at the Swedish National Defense College,” tries to minimize the seriousness of Skråmo’s jihad against Sweden and the West. Ranstorp acknowledges that “Skråmo had been well-known in Sweden, calling for Islamic State supporters to commit attacks on Swedish soil in propaganda videos,” but he makes excuses for Skråmo, claiming that he was “not involved in planning terror attacks personally,” that “he has not been an international propagandist; that is, someone who appears to speak in English or other languages in his videos. So he is big in Swedish context but he is small potatoes in the Islamic State.”
Calling for jihad attacks on Sweden is by no means “small potatoes” by any standard. Yet Sweden has paid thousands of dollars in welfare to Skråmo and his family, even while he was busy waging bloody jihad in the Islamic State stronghold of Aleppo.
From Islamic State jihadists to Muslim Brotherhood operatives, the goal is the same: conquest and subversion of the House of War, in keeping with Islamic texts to which far too many Muslims still adhere. Those who do not should be shouting their disagreement with the jihad from the rooftops, not screaming “Islamophobia.”
“Swedish ‘Islamophobia Expert’ Turned ISIS Fighter Arrested in Syria,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, March 10, 2019:
Swedish-Norwegian “Islamophobia” expert turned Islamic State jihadist Michael Skråmos has been arrested by Kurdish forces in Syria, with sources claiming Norway wants to prosecute the extremist.
The 33-year-old, born in Sweden to Norwegian parents, was captured this week in the village of Baghouz in one of the very few remaining areas under any form of Islamic State control, Swedish newspaper Expressen reports…..
Magnus Ranstorp, terrorist researcher at the Swedish National Defense College, commented on the arrest and his potential prosecution by the Norwegian government, explaining: “In Norway, the average penalty for participation and co-operation with IS is approximately seven years.”
He also added that there was a possibility of Skråmo being handed over to the United States, where he could face a much more substantial sentence of up to 30 years for fighting for the disintegrating caliphate.
Ranstorp suggested that while Skråmo had been well-known in Sweden, calling for Islamic State supporters to commit attacks on Swedish soil in propaganda videos, he was likely not involved in planning terror attacks personally.
“He has not been an international propagandist; that is, someone who appears to speak in English or other languages in his videos. So he is big in Swedish context but he is small potatoes in the Islamic State,” Ranstorp said.
CRUSADER says
Kurds are far braver than Swedes.
mortimer says
No, Mr. C., I wouldn’t count on it. Depends on the person. Sweden is locked into a version of Stockholm syndrome in which they have agreed with the assessment of their invaders. It’s a kind of self-hypnosis … the reverse of grandiosity. They believe national suicide is ‘noble’.
The only way to stop jihadists from returning is to IMPOSE THE DEATH PENALTY again for terrorists. Once designated as TERRORISTS, the jihadists will have to choose certain death at the hands of the public executioner or a life in voluntary exile.
CRUSADER says
Mortimer,
You, frankly, assume I am a “Mr.”
(Maybe today I feel like being a Ms or Mrs…and tomorrow, who knows?)
😉
Well, the jihadist will have to immigrate to California, whereby the Governor there has deemed Death Penalty as archaic and no longer legal.
Both self-destructive syndromes (Stockholm AND Oslo) seem to afflict the Swedes.
“Jihadist Psychopath” by Glazov confirms such.
christianblood says
Michael Skråmos is one of the tens of thousands of Islamic jihadists sent to Syria by the West to fight the Syrian government!
mortimer says
BloodthirstyPseudochristianFascist, we don’t need your vicious kind of armchair quarterback telling us what to do. Those of us who have served in uniform dismiss great fools like you.
christianblood says
mortimer
I don’t tell anything to chattered fagheads like you, I am simply stating the fact that like Libya, Yemen, Kosovo, Bosnia and other places, tens of thousands of Islamic jihadists were armed, facilitated, funded, trained and sent to Syria to fight and destroy that country for the benefit of the greedy, pro-islamist, liberal globalist empire!
gravenimage says
What claptrap from christianblood.
He is always claiming that it is actually the ‘filthy Infidels’ who are waging violent Jihad.
CRUSADER says
Well, we got rid of Hillary and Barack….
That’s a start in the right direction….
Iran and Saudi Arabia could be put in situation of check-mating each other,
thus stymying them both.
Iranian public need to overthrown their authoritarian theocrats.
Free the hair!
Frank Anderson says
Turning this “accused” over to Sweden expecting reasonable or adequate punishment is as absurd as returning a captured SS member of a killer group (Einsatzgrupe sp?) from the Soviet Union to Germany during WWII. Sweden would at best impose a sham sentence, which would then be quickly pardoned so they could shower him with praise and rewards in hope of changing his views on violence and conquest. The utter fantastic denial rampant in Sweden makes this prediction far more likely than not.
My reasons:
1. Isis engaged in “unlawful combat”, and every crime against humanity and war crime imaginable, which to me is nothing different from piracy on land instead of the oceans. Pirates, for centuries, have no legal rights and may be executed on sight.
2. Whether he personally committed “atrocities” he “aided, abetted, counseled and acted in furtherance” of those who did, are and continue to plan atrocities. That makes him and all others equally guilty, in my opinion. There are some misguided people in the US who try to distinguish “non-violent” from “violent” offenders. By their description, Hitler, Himmler and Goering would be “non-violent” offenders who never pulled a trigger in person to kill anyone of the tens of millions who died by their orders. “The acts of one are the acts of all; The knowledge of one is the knowledge of all.”
Bloodthirsty or realistic?
mortimer says
All the ISIS fighters should be tried at the International Criminal Tribunal on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity.
Frank Anderson says
Mortimer, the ICC does not reach all defendants. Also, wasting MILLIONS of dollars for EACH defendant, and decades of legal proceedings for slap on the wrist sentences is just another drain in “civilized world’s” budget. If they can’t kill us with bombs they can kill us by spending our money. Look at the SS people who escaped all punishment by the flood of those who overwhelmed the war crimes tribunals. Would we be able to estimate that 10 percent of those who should have been executed or sentenced to LONG terms of imprisonment actually got what they deserved?
Spending billions of dollars or euros for nothing more than a liberal show stinks on ice.
A careful look at the Geneva Conventions regarding “unlawful combatants” should produce some measure of when the ICC should get involved and when it should stay out.
mortimer says
Mr.Anderson, what legal recourse is there then? You obviously don’t think that making an example of someone would be effective.
Frank Anderson says
Mortimer, my thought and suggestion only. You know what follows to keep on the good side of the bar: Please consult a currently licensed attorney practicing in your jurisdiction for any legal advice.
From a legal analysis many different countries could claim authority (jurisdiction) to act, The authority closest to the crime is the people who are holding him now, or the government of Iraq, where those “jailers” are based.
Then Syria could make a claim because of the Syrian nationals harmed by his or his conspirators’ actions.
Then other countries could join the howling and see what they could do to shield him from his just rewards.
My opinion has not been approved to my knowledge. But that would not prevent arguing it as a change or extension of existing law, as specifically permitted by bar and court rules.
When facing a large and 1400 year old continuing criminal conspiracy to levy war, death and slavery, the same rules that apply to infinitesimally smaller and far shorter conspiracies will not work. This is a declared WAR to the death or conquest. There has never been any other war handled as a crime in its fighting. Arresting and prosecuting armies, navies and air forces is absurd. War is “wholesale” while crime is “retail”.
Until we accept that there is a war, recognizing wholesale slaughter cannot be avoided, because it has already occurred in many places following invasion, and taking whatever steps are necessary to preserve our freedoms, opportunities and liberty, they will be moving toward their goals and we will be losing.
mortimer says
My point is that one day in court costs 1,000 times less than a day on the battlefield.
Frank Anderson says
Mortimer, I have spent from 1982 to 1996 in courts all the way from a state circuit court to the US Supreme Court (a dozen or more courts) on a single case. It took every minute I could find, every dollar I could find, and every thought I could direct to fight corruption. I will never stop looking for ways to fight. My case was simple compared to what should be a death penalty case for every terrorist. Your comparison of a day in court to a day on the battlefield is meaningless.
Look at the current ILLEGAL ALIEN problem on the US border where the court system has been rendered meaningless by a flood of cases that will never be adjudicated by rules never written to handle millions of cases that are pending. When due process is used to turn the Constitution into a suicide pact, the Constitution will be destroyed and totalitarian dictatorship will commence. Is that what you put your life at risk to see? I have put my life at risk for my case, several times, because that is what was required.
CRUSADER says
RICO could take down white collar criminals such as Hitler, Himmler and Goering….
Frank Anderson says
C, any criminal prosecution, especially war crimes involves millions of dollars and years of litigation for each defendant. War crimes are not ordinary crimes. The only reason to not deal with the combatants, not the criminals, on the battlefield is to avoid prosecution of our soldiers and allies.
Please read RICO which starts at 18 United States Code Section 1961 and continues through several more sections. How many Billions of dollars and hundreds or thousands of US lives are you willing to spend giving less than animals the rights of US citizens? That is what should be the expected cost of arresting and prosecuting thousands of “unlawful combatant” terrorists. Not only would the taxpayers have to pay all of the expenses of arresting, prosecuting and holding them, they would have to pay all the expenses of defense and appeals.
Imagine the absurdity of arresting the entire WWII German army and prosecuting in a criminal court each person. Many of the few who were prosecuted and convicted saw their sentences abbreviated to near nothing. But what a great show!
Islam DECLARED WAR against the world 1400 years ago, and has continued that war ever since. Estimates range from 250,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 people have been murdered as part of the conquest, with the higher estimate considered better. This is not a corner grocery store robbery or a street murder. This is war whether we declare it or not.
CRUSADER says
To what capacity is war to be declared?
We will fight our neighbors in the streets?
They, Mohamheadans, are all around us in the West.
So far, many Muslims have helped Law Enforcement trap the worst ones among them.
Can’t just paint the Muslim community as an entire enemy bloc. That would set off over a billion against the West. We can’t even handle a few rotten apples ruining the bushel.
So — what do you suggest?
Frank Anderson says
C, in any other legal analysis, when one is part of a criminal conspiracy, regardless of when joined, one continues to be responsible for ALL the crimes committed by any member of the criminal conspiracy unless that person abandons the conspiracy and aids law enforcement in ending the conspiracy. It could be helpful to search the terms “conspiracy” and “abandonment of conspiracy” to correct my memory.
Now while considering that 1,600,000,000 people admit being part of a “religion” that is in fact a criminal conspiracy to kill or enslave the world, there is only a difference in magnitude. If we don’t have the will/stomach/determination to demand the end of the conspiracy, we deserve to be defeated to be enslaved or killed. As long as the conspiracy is allowed to continue, its victory and conquest become more certain.
Former muslims should be protected and welcomed at any and all times. But one cannot be a muslim and also be subject to the basic “social contract” that defines a non-muslim society, and which totally contradicts and offends all teachings of islam. There are no moderate muslims. There is no “picking and choosing” (French origin depecage from Conflict of Laws spelling questionable) of rules to follow or ignore. To be muslim is to be required on penalty of death to observe all its rules.
Frank Anderson says
C, that is what I think it has looked like for 1400 years wherever islam has extended its murder and conquest. Have you seen and/or read Spencer’s book The History of Jihad from Muhammad to Isis? THEY have declared and conducted war, all over the world, for 1400 years whether anyone has responded in kind or not.
Where and how do you think approximately a billion, (1,000,000,000=4 people every 3 minutes) people have been KILLED in their war? What makes you think it has stopped or ever will as long as deniers continue their refusal to face the real, “final, perfect, complete and unchangeable” teachings of standard, orthodox, ordinary islam?
mortimer says
Many thanks to FA for the following: “1,600,000,000 people admit being part of a “religion” that is in fact a criminal conspiracy to kill or enslave the world”.
In fact, the same could be said about Islam that was said about the Nazi conspiracy:
A common plan or conspiracy to seize the machinery of a State, to commit crimes against the peace of the world, to blot a race out of existence, to enslave millions, and to subjugate and loot whole nations cannot be thought of in the same terms as the plotting of petty crimes, although the same underlying principles are applicable.
Frank Anderson says
Mortimer, please take a few minutes to read a case available online by searching for United States v. Gary Greenough, 609 F.Supp 1090 (S.D.Ala. 1985) (trial court opinion), 782 F.2d 1556 (5th Cir. 1986) (appeal). These have really good explanations of the legal term conspiracy.
Key words to notice:
Agreement
Two or More Persons
Unlawful Purpose
Unlawful Means
ANY over act by any participant.

Thanks for the link CRUSADER, this is very gratifying. When and where ideas get openly and freely debated—-no “safe zones,” no “trigger warnings,” no civil rights lawsuits because somebody said something mean about somebody else’s beliefs—-our civilsation and its values do just fine…….
elee says
Whatever happens to this guy should be very very public. I keep seeing pictures of jihadis of all ethnicities and keep reading accusations that those who oppose them are “racists”…….which is why I’m certainly not the first to point out that Muslims are not a (genetic) “race,” that Muslims love to point out that their cult stands in opposition to all the “nationalisms” (i.e. Baathism, a Middle Eastern derivative form of National Socialism) that coexist with it in Muslim countries. So yes, he should be subjected to a most rigourous and public prosecution, to demonstrate that opposing Islam is not some covert coded form of white racism. There are impressionable minds in the world who need to hear and see this.
Frank Anderson says
M.C. thank you for demonstrating my point that I know some, but not everything. The people who write here help each other fill holes that would be missed if all depended on one.

Meh, please tell us to whom your question is directed? If to me, I would be happy to answer.
