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

Sweden: Shia Muslims fearful of returning Islamic State jihadis

Mar 21, 2019 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Shia Muslim community in Sweden is concerned about its safety “if Islamic State militants return home.” Unfortunately for the Shia, Leftist Swedes believe that it is “racist” for Sweden not to embrace Swedish jihadis as they would any other Swedish citizen. Many other nations, such as Canada, hold the same view.

Leftists and the many charlatans who are gainfully employed in the anti- “racism” industry have managed to exacerbate racial divisions. In this industry, those who do not fit their narrative do not exist. Muslims who are threatened by other Muslims do not exist; neither do blacks who are killed by blacks. In their world, only whites can be oppressors and aggressors, only whites can be “colonialists” and “Zionists.” There is no forgiveness for past wrongs and no acknowledgment of current wrongdoing by Muslims worldwide. In this view, human rights is based on identity politics, not on the principle of equal rights for all.

“Omran Hashem, the chairman of the cultural centre, said that many Shia in Sweden are threatened by Sunni extremists saying that groups like Islamic State and al-Qaeda ‘threaten us in our home countries and now also here.'” Hashem also stated that “we have had a lot of problems with terrorist groups in my home country and came here to live in peace, but how can we feel secure when we can be neighbours to murderers?,” and he went on to discuss a threat he received from an unidentified jihadist  following his warnings about returning Islamic State jihadists years ago. The man said:

 You don’t know me but we know you because you have said a little about us. It will come one day when we get power in all of Sweden and then you will regret it.

It was inevitable that all the characteristics of Islamic states, including jihad violence, would enter Western nations via open borders policies. Leftist leaders are putting all of their citizens at risk, including visible minority immigrants, while they call those who oppose open borders “anti-immigrant” and “racist.” The jihad is against all infidels regardless of race, a fact that Leftists ignore or deny outright. They enable the jihad against the West, as they are manipulated and used by Islamic supremacists:

While others, such as populist Sweden Democrats leader Jimmie Åkesson, have called for Sweden to ban Islamic State members from coming back to Sweden, Prime Minister Stefan Lovfen has said the country will not strip radicals of citizenship.

“Swedish Shia Muslims Express Fear over Returning Islamic State Fighters,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, March 20, 2019:

Members of the Swedish Shia Muslim community in the city of Örebro say they concerned for their safety if Islamic State militants return home.

The Ahl Al-Bait Cultural Centre in the Oxhagen district of Örebro say they have been forced to hire guards at their building due to the potential threats from Sunni Islamic State extremists who see them as an enemy, broadcaster SVT reports.

Omran Hashem, the chairman of the cultural centre, said that many Shia in Sweden are threatened by Sunni extremists saying that groups like Islamic State and al-Qaeda “threaten us in our home countries and now also here.”

Mr Hashem also relayed a personal story from several years ago saying that following his anti-Islamic State comments in local media a man has threatened him.

“He said, ‘you don’t know me but we know you because you have said a little about us. It will come one day when we get power in all of Sweden and then you will regret it’,” Hashem said.

Speaking on the subject of returning fighters he said, “When they come back and know that there is a Shia mosque here, of course, we are afraid of it. They might come in and hurt someone.”

“We have had a lot of problems with terrorist groups in my home country and came here to live in peace, but how can we feel secure when we can be neighbours to murderers?” he added.

The fears may not be unfounded, as in the last several years there have been attacks on Shia buildings with Sunni radicals suspected to be involved in both Malmö in 2016 and in Järfälla in 2017.

While others, such as populist Sweden Democrats leader Jimmie Åkesson, have called for Sweden to ban Islamic State members from coming back to Sweden, Prime Minister Stefan Lovfen has said the country will not strip radicals of citizenship….

    But who would hear them.. certainly not the mad leftists of Sweden and the dhimmi Swedish Govt. The more and more I see these kinds of things… I feel that the NZ shooter is justified in his actions as much I condemn the killings.. The Govts of the West have blood on their hands by immigrating Islamic terrorists. How have they ruined a once beautiful land called Sweden.

      It’s only a matter of time before the Sunnites radicals attack and kill Shi’ites in Sweden.

      What evil, illogical nonsense to say the NZ shooter was justified. The people in the mosque merely immigrated where they could, seeking peace and prosperity. They didn’t ask to be born into the “mind prison” of Islam.

      If the NZ shooter genuinely wanted to decrease immigration into NZ by Muslims, he wouldn’t have engaged in an atrocity that caused all of the NZ and Australian media and political elite to don hijabs, broadcast calls to prayer, etc. The results of the massacre will be exactly the opposite of what the NZ shooter allegedly wanted because no one wants to classify themselves in the same group as a murderous, insane person.

      The world is being played by the ascendant narrative writers, who for some inexplicable reason want Islamic doctrine to permeate the world, despite its obvious inherent violence. The hadith are not hidden. They’re readily available in English for anyone who wants to understand the doctrines that have been tearing apart the Islamic world for 1400 years. Who in the non-Islamic world benefits from the spreading of a doctrine that disallows sects within it and then punishes apostasy with death?

    If Islam were a religion of peace, their extremists would be extremely peaceful.

    Sunnite Muslims see Shi’ites are heretics who should be suppressed and that is taught in Saudi school texts.

    Another superb, fact-filled article by Christine Douglass-Williams.

      This Canadian (and any others she knows) don’t want returning jihadis. Trudeau is a sick cookie and deserves to pay for his sins.

    Just as the muslims are fighting each other in the home countries so will they fight each other where ever they live.
    Their precious book preaches violence and violence, unfortunately, has no bounds.

    I’m not in any way for White supremacism.. but come on let us call a spade a spade.. I would much live next to them than the mad animal jehaadis. It has been my experience that white supremacists..wherever they are…prefer to keep to themselves and their white only world… unless U F by them… and that is perfectly fine by me..

    • infidel says

      Mar 21, 2019 at 10:32 am

      It has been my exp that if U leave white supremacists alone.. they do not bother U. They do not come seeking U unlike these mad Jehaadi animals..

        You’re right, they’ see themselves as more proud “defenders” than arrogant predators.

      The muslim jihadist is not a race….but a multiple of ethnic cultures, resulting from propaganda, dawah and attacks, but the use of white jihadist are in great demand…..and works for the white supremacist narrative. Could be Chinese, Canadian, French they have great cover it is the ultimate dream for deception, so they can pull of attacks and not be identified, I think they would go so far as shaving the head and beard but he mission is the same is my opinion. Sharia law and Islam that maybe the public still thinks as spiritual, peaceful that is temporary but that is a delusion and you find that out when you read the book they follow in my opinion.

    I would not entirely agree with this vid only bcos, I put the entire blame on all these chaos on Islam. White terror or whatever U call it is just reactionary..

    Now a days pure white people may be 10% of the world population. I read an article that population white people disappearing due to climate change , multi culture, colonization and globalization. At the time of Byzantium Europe had a clear boarder in Spain, Turkey, Ural mountains and Georgia. So geologically it was enclosed and an enclave. But now If you take one Indian and compare with one English there is no such difference..
    Historically Africans or Indians or Chinese have good history and background. Nobody will blame. At present Islam and ISIS are dangerous ideologies like Armenian, Jewish, Greek, Assyrian genocide. Before Islam it was Attila the Hun.

    One of the main difference shia and sunni,
    Shias support Albanian and Bosnian genocide. Sunnis support Yemen genocide.

    There is a growing minority in Swedish politics who are proponents of conservative views and deeply concerned about what immigration policies have done to Sweden….

    This is how a seed grows into something bigger….
