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

Sweden: Police warn of criminal migrant gang increasing influence in Stockholm, many such gangs work with jihadis

Oct 7, 2019 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

In open-door Sweden, “Stockholm police have warned of the growing influence of the ‘Black Ax’, a Nigerian criminal gang connected to drug trafficking and prostitution involving illegal migrants.”

Organized crime and jihad have converged and are both expanding their activities. A report three years ago by the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation showed a troubling pattern: “criminal and terrorist networks across Europe are merging to create a dangerous brand of jihadi for whom violence is not just a holy pursuit, but a way of life.”

Earlier this year, Italian police warned of a crime-terror nexus with “the potential of Islamic radicalisation among the Nigerian mafia, saying that the influence of terrorist groups like Boko Haram was spreading among mafia members.”

A CBS report also showed that the “lines between terrorism and criminality are becoming blurred as an increasing number of former criminals join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and create a gangster jihad.” Organized crime has becoming an increasingly lucrative way of raising money to finance jihad terror.

The Combating Terrorism Center at West Point has noted that the Islamic State was “encouraging crime as the preferred means of raising funds”; therefore, “it can be hypothesized that criminal funding will increase.”

“Swedish Police Warn Brutal Nigerian Mafia Gaining Foothold in Stockholm,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, October 3, 2019:

Stockholm police have warned of the growing influence of the “Black Ax”, a Nigerian criminal gang connected to drug trafficking and prostitution involving illegal migrants.

The Black Ax is said to be an international group which operates in several southern European countries. Fifteen members of the group were arrested this week in Gothenburg in connection to drug trafficking cases, Sveriges Radio reports.

Earlier this week, Gothenburg police arrested 15 drug smugglers connected to an international cocaine and heroin smuggling ring, finding 115 million Swedish kronor’s ($11,647,775/£9,467,375) worth of drugs.

Swedish customs say they seized approximately 300lbs of narcotics in total, including 110lbs of heroin. Prosecutor Anna Svedin noted that the network was based in the Netherlands and said: “Some of the defendants have links to Black Ax, but not all.”

Lennart Karlsson, intervention manager at the Klara area in Stockholm, said that police have noted an increased presence of the Nigerian mafia in recent years. Mr Karlsson said: “The really heavy establishment has been over the last five years.”

“The mosque here hears from us. They often meet people who have been told to come here and get contacts to get a job. But then the Black Ax members hang outside and attract them,” he continued.

“This organisation works with both prostitution and drug trafficking,” he added….

    In Sweden, this is the result of pathological altruism, political correctness run amok – and a feminist/leftists/Marxist/globalist government.

    Contrast this with Poland and Sweden…

    I know where I would rather live…

    My opinion is a nexus is developing, if not already developed. Add in islamic proclivities highlighted also in this post, to the globalist agenda with nations opposed to Western values (Russia,China), a Western civil war, low grade, in Western nations can be visualized. Still trying to connect the dots, but the dots are there.
    Military, Intelligence, Law Enforcement Officers Predict an American Civil War
    By News With Views|October 3rd, 2019
    By NWV Senior Political News Writer, Jim Kouri We have to differentiate “civil war” which is an armed conflict between ORGANIZED groups over control over a government, and “low intensity conflict” which is a war among people or the state. A civil war with organized groups, i.e. armies, is unlikely. A “low intensity conflict” is already happening. The new civil war will probably entail an armed conflict between those adhering to a leftist ideology whose long-term goal is achieving a One World Government that seeks to divide the earth’s resources and riches more fairly.We’re talking about violence primarily among the People — left/right, urban, rural, etc. — not a war over control for Washington D.C. a/k/a The Swamp.Samuel Culper is a former military intelligence NCO (non-commissioned officer) and civilian intelligence analyst. He spent three years in Iraq and Afghanistan as a soldier and intelligence contractor, and now runs the intelligence shop at Forward Observer. His staff includes Daniel Johnson is a former U.S. Marine infantry scout/sniper section leader, and company close quarters battle and enhanced marksmanship program instructor. After being discharged from the Marine Corps, Daniel went to work for the State Department’s Worldwide Protective Services program where he served on a principal recovery and extraction team, as well as an advance and tactical site survey team. After sustaining a serious injury from an enemy attack in Baghdad, he was forced to return home. He’s now learning the ropes of multi-discipline intelligen between the criminal elements highlighted in this post and drug cartels in Mexico, Central, and South America..

    How Islamophobic can the Swedish police be? Why don’t they just release them and let them show how benign and peaceful Islam is? (sarc/off)

    Muslim criminals seem largely to interpret their criminality as jihad against the dirty kufaar. They don’t do it to a Muslim.

    ……………..

    And why not? Most of these gang crimes are sacralized in Islam, so long as the victims are Infidels.

    It is in itself a huge scandal that the Nigerian mafia’s human trafficking in Europe has been going on for DECADES without anyone ever exposing the fact that the enslaved girls are Nigerian Christians and animists being trafficked by Nigerian muslims. We are talking black-on-black, muslim-on-Christian, slave trade from Africa to Europe, ignored just as determinedly as the Pakistani grooming gangs in the UK because of the religious affiliation of the perpetrators and victims respectively. No one wants to touch that topic. Everyone shuts up.

    The muslim gangs drive around to Christian villages in Nigeria. Sometimes they lure a girl by falsely offering her a decent job in Europe, as a cleaning lady or waitress. Sometimes they simply chloroform a girl when they come upon her in an otherwise empty street. They throw her in the back of their car and are off. Her family never learns what happened.

    The victims are first brought to a slave camp in Nigeria where they are repeatedly raped and beaten until broken. Those who don’t break are viciously killed in front of the others to demonstrate what awaits them if they balk. One girl who was later rescued in Europe and placed in a women’s shelter described how she had witnessed such a killing in the slave camp. The victim was murdered by stomping. The killers jumped up and down on her body until the bones were ground to a pulp. The mass of featureless flesh remained quivering for a long time as if still feeling the pain.

    After witnessing such atrocities, and being continuously raped, the surviving victims are given false passports and escorted to Western European countries where they are pimped by the mafia until they die. It is not an uncommon occurrence to find the dead body of such a girl dumped in a European forest.

    The muslim mafia will sell a Nigerian woman or child for about 700 euro in Europe.

    All this information is from a guy who works in a women’s shelter with rescued victims of this evil. They have told their stories to him. But politicians, and media do not want to report them or do anything to stop the evil.

    Googling the topic yields very little information. Only the animist religious component is usually spoken of. This research article has as its focus the use of animist black magic (juju) to chain the victims mentally, but it does specify in passing that six out of seven victims are Christians and active churchgoers. No mention at all is made of the religion of the perpetrators… The article only observes in the most general way that there are three religion in Nigeria: islam, Christianity, and the traditional spirit religion; and that many Nigerians are syncretists incorporating traditional elements into the other two.

    http://www.whrin.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Exploring-the-use-of-Juju-in-Nigerian-Cultures.pdf

    One has to look between the lines.

    Douglass-Williams’ article is the first one I have ever seen that directly mentions the gangs’ connection to mosques and jihad. But it has been there the whole time.

    May it be soon entirely exposed for what it is. The Nigerian girls whose lives are destroyed deserve recognition and justice as much as the British girls do. Imagine if these girls joined hands to expose the common identity factor of their torturers.

    Islam is the problem.
