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

Sweden: Muslim migrants sending their kids home to avoid their becoming “Westernized,” some join jihad groups

Oct 10, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Then the trained jihadis return to Sweden and are admitted without any hesitation. Western officials are being played for fools, and they’re too afraid of charges of “Islamophobia” to admit it to themselves.

“Sweden Sounds the Alarm Over Migrant Kids Sent to Africa to Avoid Them Becoming ‘Westernised,'” Sputnik, October 8, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Migrant children sent off to their respective home countries in Africa to avoid becoming “Westernised” run the risk of abuse and forced marriage, the Swedish authorities have warned.

An increasing number of young immigrants are being sent to Africa to be “re-educated” in the culture of their home country, the Swedish Foreign Ministry has warned in internal proceedings, according to the newspaper Svenska Dagbladet.

According to the newspaper, the phenomenon primarily involves young people with roots from Somalia and Kenya living in troubled suburbs, who have either become “Westernised” or taken up crime and drugs.

Last year alone, the Swedish Foreign Ministry handled 25 cases where young people were sent on such trips. This year until May, the Swedish officials have contact with twelve affected youth, six of whom had been shipped off to Kenya and six to Somalia. In 2018, a total of 104 family disputes arose, including both cases related to “education trips” and forced marriages.

The unsuspecting children are often told that they are going on holiday, but in reality the trip often takes a more grim turn. Once in Africa, their passports are taken away and they are either taken care of by family members or end up literally imprisoned at special education institutions, colloquially marketed as “rehabilitation camps”. The phenomenon is so popular that there is a Somali expression for it, “dhaqan celis” or “back to the culture”.

According to the Swedish embassy in Kenya’s capital Nairobi, children run a high risk of mental and physical violence, including being chained. A single “re-education trip” is said to cost between SEK 2,000 and 5,000 ($200 to 500).

“Sending children there and dumping them is the worst thing you can do. Not only is this too much. It is counterproductive, and in the worst case, they risk joining the terrorist group al-Shabaab instead,” Omar Adam of the Somaliland association told Svenska Dagbladet.

Previously, a similar phenomenon of kids being sent to “Quran schools” to avoid “Westernisation” sparked concerns in Norway. The diplomatic work to help the exposed children is obstructed by the fact that neither of the countries have embassies in Somalia and must resort to using Kenya as mediator…

    Sweden is welcoming trained ASSASSINS. What could go wrong?

      Muslims have historically refused to assimilate, western civilization should have already closed its borders to Muslims , they should all be deported to their home countries.

    Here we have it from the horse’s mouth (as it were) that there is no respect whatever for Western culture or values – therefore proof (if we needed it) that Sweden has indeed got a hostile invasion on its hands. How do the liberal authorities intend to argue their way out of this?

      ‘How do the liberal authorities intend to argue their way out of this?’

      No need to strain your brain. They will accuse you of being an ‘islamophobe’.

      That will settle the matter once & for all.

    Let them leave. Then refuse to take them back, as they have now been “radicalized.” If they sue, have them provide evidence that they were not being subject to an education in Jihad.

      It would be Islamophobic not to rake them back. The Ottawa Citizen has disabled my comment about two accused Muslim rapists being granted bail And then absconding.

      CONTENT DISABLED Of course they got the kid gloves treatment. They are Muslim. Why don’t we just end the suspense and submit to this supremacist conquest ideology now.

        Awful, Terry–but I am not surprised.

      And kick the parents out as well – it’s obvious they came under false pretexts. What do Sweden think it’ll happen in a few decades when they need to rely on “New Swedes” to finance their pensions?…

    No different than colonialists in the past. Send them back home for a proper education so they don’t go native. Right-o.

    Quite obviously, this should end any claims these families have to refuge or asylum. Since their home countries are quite safe for their children, there cannot be any legitimate reason for these families being given refuge. The country should, promptly deport the entire family, every one.

    Sweden: Muslim migrants sending their kids home to avoid their becoming “Westernized,” some join jihad groups
    ………………….

    This is a lot more plausible than claims that Muslims were sending their children back to Jihad terror zone because the West was too violent.

  7. Marigold says

    If Sweden knows that parents are sending their children to their countries of origin to prevent them becoming too Westernised why aren’t they deporting the parents?

  8. jca reid says

    Who pays for all of this? I’m sure the already highly taxed Swedish Taxpayer would hate seeing their funds being squandered in this way, as their own Welfare & infrastructure is crumbling with this unwarranted influx of locusts! If the Education is ssssoooooo good in Muslim countries, why don’t they migrate there instead of the Infidel, Kuffar, corrupt West? NO universities in the Muslim World feature in the world’s top 300. Turkey comes close, they’re Secular at the moment, but gradually declining.

    My advice to Muslims. Stay in your lovely Islamic countries
