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

Sweden: 41 municipalities forced to take back Islamic State jihadis, taxpayers to pay for their social benefits

Apr 13, 2019 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“41 out of 290 Swedish municipalities are expected to be forced to accommodate returning Islamic State members.”

Why? because “under Swedish law, they have Swedish passports and cannot be turned away. The returnees have the right to settle where they like and even claim social benefits.”

A review and correction of such laws in the interests of public safety is long overdue.

These jihadis have almost certainly committed far worse crimes than those committed by the violent criminals in Sweden’s maximum security jails, yet they will be on the loose to continue their jihad war against Swedes, while Swedes pay for their benefits.

The extreme danger that Islamic State jihadists pose to Western countries calls for urgent and immediate legislation to prevent this absurdity, but there is little to no will for such an initiative in Sweden.

“41 Swedish Municipalities Being Forced to Take Back ISIS Members,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, April 12, 2019:

A list from the Centre for Violent Extremism (CVE) has revealed that 41 out of 290 Swedish municipalities are expected to be forced to accommodate returning Islamic State members.

The CVE invited representatives from the 41 areas to an event to teach them more about the returning terror group members in order to “provide support to the municipalities that have or may be able to receive returning children and adults from areas previously controlled by the Islamic state,” SVT reports.

Anders Kretz, a senior advisor at CVE, said that their information about Islamic State members who were on their way home from the Middle East or who had already returned to Sweden had come from the Swedish security police, Säpo.

Karl Melin, a press officer at Säpo, confirmed that they were working with CVE on the matter saying, “The information goes on to all those who are involved in one way or another for the best way to work with the issue.”

“The purpose of this is to create the conditions for the police and municipalities to be able to handle individuals who are or have been in the conflict areas and possibly returning to Sweden,” he added.

The areas are being forced to take the returnees because, under Swedish law, they have Swedish passports and cannot be turned away. The returnees have the right to settle where they like and even claim social benefits, Breitbart London understands.

Around half of the 300 Swedes who went to Syria and Iraq to join the terror group have returned since 2012. Some left-wing politicians have suggested the returning fighters should be integrated back into Swedish society and even be given certain benefits to help them.

While some municipalities are welcoming returning jihadists, the municipal board chairman of Staffanstorp has expressed a desire to refuse municipal services to returning fighters…

    Just strip the clowns of their citizenship. Confiscate the passports.

      That’s ahead of the game, Buraq. They must pass laws before that can be done. Sweden also needs an electoral reform to stop one party from winning every election.

    It’s time for Swedes to shake themselves out of their delusion that Islam will treat Sweden differently than it treated previously Christian areas around the Mediterranean, the Balkans, Anatolia, and the Buddhist areas of Afghanistan and Hindu regions of India. Islam will Islamize and turn Sweden into an authoritarian failed state like so many others.

    The social ethos of Islam is dictatorship, suppression of human rights and deception.

    Both the ISIS criminals and the Swede politicaster criminals should be put on trial and upon a guilty verdict, shot at dawn. Have no mercy for vermin who put the public in harm’s way. Vermin politicasters are as evil as ISIS jihad murderers in the harm they cause to civilization.

      It would be great if Sweden could also give these ISIS fighters, its highest civilian honor for doing Jehaad and mass murdering innocents.. (It could very well happen)

    I’m thinking that this new information, once it is widespread, may affect tourism.

    I anticipate the State Department will soon modify their travel threat level for Sweden.

    It is now CLEAR that the threat has become EXISTENTIAL from Islam for the free world. I’m pasting a link of the 5 part series of the fearless Hindu Swami Narsingh Mahraj.. The video is in Hindi but the msg is clear. Hindus and so also Europeans have to get up and face this existential threat of POPULATION JEHAAD where the animal Muslims outbreed U and make U an outsider in Ur own land…

    MUST C and hope someone can translate for U.. Maybe an Indian friend… U MUST C THIS VID

    NOTHING LESS THAN CIVIL WAR is going to save the Greater West, esp The EU and Canada… maybe America… and of course India…Our hands are being forced… there is no other way to break this evil partnership of Islam and its LEFT enablers… The day of reckoning is coming for sure and I lay the blame solely on the CRIMINAL LEFT, the world over..

      If people vote in saner leaders there will be no need for civil wars.

      • Anjuli Pandavar says

        Apr 14, 2019 at 8:51 am

        GI, I wouldn’t be too sure of that. The Rule of Law only persists while the rulers are protected by the law. If law (or rules, procedures and standing practises) threaten to change the status quo, we quickly learn just how inviolable the law really is.

        In Sweden, for example, ISIS murderers *must* be taken back because they have Swedish passports and the law says they must be taken back. In this case, the law is sacrosanct.

        In that same Sweden, the people did indeed vote for saner leaders, the Sweden Democrats, that on its own gained 13 seats, while its two biggest rivals, both in coalitions, lost a total of 27 seats, resulting in a hung Parliament. This means that the Sweden Democrats that won 62 seats becomes the “kingmaker”, i.e., though not the government, it wields enough power to make or break any government, which means it can force the government to change the country’s immigration policies. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Swedish_general_election To prevent this from happening, two parties of the four-party Alliance coalition that together won 143 seats (ONE SEAT FEWER than the catastrophic Red-Green Alliance that formed the last government) *broke their own coalition* by agreeing to *abstain from voting* so the last Prime Minister, whom the rules say *cannot* form a government, now effectively can, thereby locking out the saner leaders from influence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%9319_Swedish_government_formation and https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/01/11/swedens-parties-reach-deal-keep-far-right-sweden-democrats-influence/

        The migrant crisis (actually an invasion crisis) is exposing the Rule of Law and Parliamentary politics for what they are: scams. The moment these no longer suit the ruling class/elite, they will be distorted, abused or scrapped. This is the stage we’ve been in since the coming into effect of the Treaty of Lisbon on 1 Dec 2009, and its effects lately becoming explicit in the corruption of the EU legal system in favour of Muslims (including mass-murdering terrorists), scrapping of border controls to let more than a million illegal Muslim migrants enter the EU without checks, failure to protect EU citizens from assault, rape and murder if the criminals are Muslim migrants, ignoring or overturning the outcomes of referenda, and *judicial* persecution of EU citizens who dare object to this descent into Islamic chaos.

        So I am not at all confident that “there will be no need for civil wars.”

    AREN’T most SWEDES armed?That should be an easy start when fed up with your present govt?

    • Savvy Kafir says

      Apr 14, 2019 at 9:49 am

      A decent number of Swedes are armed. (But it’s Switzerland where many, if not most, homes contain a full-auto assault rifle.)

      At this point, it really does seem as if violent revolution is Sweden’s only hope. That formerly wonderful country is leading the way in Europe’s race to Islamization. Time is running out for Sweden.

  10. Savvy Kafir says

    Apr 13, 2019 at 2:04 pm

    When Western governments knowingly take in jihadis — putting their own people at serious risk — it’s time for responsible citizens to take direct action. Someone has got to make the people safe; and it’s obvious that won’t be the Swedish government. Those Islam-friendly bureaucrats have become the enemies of the Swedish people & Swedish society.

    Sweden is ripe for revolution. And the U.S. should stand ready to assist Swedish freedom fighters, if any attempt to reclaim their country.

    Free countries in western Europe such as Sweden, France, Belgium, and Great Britain are doomed unless they “wake up” and take definitive steps to reduce Muslim immigration. These returning ISIS fighters have no intention of integrating back into society. Their intent is to dominate society.

  14. Anjuli Pandavar says

    Apr 14, 2019 at 5:40 pm

    SM, *Muslims* have no intention of integrating. The Qur’an forbids it. They don’t need to be returning from ISIS to not integrate; six-year-olds learn in madrassa just how disgusting it is to integrate with non-Muslims. Even if Muslims live cheek by jowl with non-Muslims, they still believe that they are superior to non-Muslims. And by this I mean ALL Muslims, 100%. Even your nice Muslim friend you’ve known for years. There is *no Muslim* who does not believe that Muslims are superior to non-Muslims. Muslims only integrate when they have no choice but to integrate, and remain “integrated” only for as long as they have no choice but to remain integrated. But right from the off, bit-by-bit, they’ll be clawing back their separation from the lesser beings they’ve been forced to integrate with and amongst whom they’ve had to endure the humiliation of equality. It is one of the enduring follies of Western populations that, out of the goodness of their hearts, they rush forth to “help Muslims integrate” and beat themselves up for “not doing enough to help Muslims integrate”. Many are convinced that they are doing a kindness by showing Muslims that we treat them as equal to us. To Muslims, presuming ourselves equal to them is an affront for which the devout amongst them hate us all the more. Presuming that they have the slightest interest in integrating with non-Muslims is derided with scorn.
