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

Muslim AK-47s and Bombings Turn Sweden Into War Zone

Nov 19, 2019 12:00 pm By Daniel Greenfield

“Those who depict our prophet, we’ll blow them up.”

This isn’t terrorism. It’s a war. And it’s going on every day in Sweden.

Sweden is reeling from a wave of shootings and bombings with 268 shootings just this year so far. And that’s in a country of 10 million people which has crime numbers on par with some American cities.

“Sweden may have the answer to America’s gun problem,” Vox declared in 2016. Or maybe not.

These shootings aren’t being carried out with handguns, but with AK-47s. The weapon so often used as a boogeyman by gun control advocates, but rarely featured in everyday gun violence, is a staple of Sweden’s gang war scene. Along with hand grenades and other explosives rarely seen in America.

A call by the police last year asking gang members to turn in their grenades worked as well as expected.

There have been 187 bomb attacks this year. In just 1 week in August, there were three major bombings. Much of the violence is concentrated in Malmo which experienced 58 bombings in 2017.

Malmo has a sizable immigrant and Muslim population. And it’s a center of gang violence.

Swedish authorities and its media rarely discuss or name the perpetrators, but the latest shooting left Jaffar Ibrahim, a 15-year-old boy, dead. Jaffar was shot in a Malmo pizzeria and had been part of a family of Syrian refugees who migrated to Sweden in 2016. Services for him were held in a mosque.

The shooting attack was preceded by a car bombing which was used as a diversion.

The media cited as a precedent the shooting death of Ahmed Obaid, a 16-year-old, a few years ago. This isn’t unusual as 9 out of 10 shooters are foreign immigrants or the children of foreign immigrants.

But Muslim gang violence in Sweden isn’t just its problem anymore.

Bombings took off in Copenhagen with explosions outside a police station and a tax office over the summer. The targets were political and the bombs weren’t fireworks or hand grenades, but commercial explosives used for demolitions. The suspects turned out to be criminals who had entered from Sweden.

The violence was probably related to gang wars involving the Brothas, Loyal to Familia and other splinter gangs. Despite the gang names, the actual gang members have names like Osman and Omar.

While Muslim gangs operating out of Malmo appear to be pushing into Copenhagen, likely fronts and splinter groups of the Hells Angels, Muslim gangs out of Copenhagen, like the Black Cobras, are pushing into Malmo. To the Muslim gangs, Sweden and Denmark are just territories to seize and control.

That’s the same attitude that has brought Muslim gang members into ISIS.

Omar El-Hussein, a “Palestinian” Jordanian migrant criminal, who attempted to murder Mohammed cartoonist Lars Vilks before attacking a bar mitzvah at the Great Synagogue, had come through the ranks of the Brothas, building up a long criminal record, before finally joining ISIS.

After the attack, a journalist interviewed fellow Brothas gang members, Ahmed and Abdur Ramadan. “Those who depict our prophet, we’ll blow them up,” they declared.

The reference to bombings isn’t accidental.

Muslim gang leaders have reportedly taken the lead in joining ISIS. And their interest in explosives isn’t purely about gang violence. The bombing attacks on a police station and tax office weren’t gang rivalries. Despite the denials by the authorities, they have all the classic hallmarks of terrorism.

Denmark has reacted to the terror traffic from Sweden by imposing border controls on bridge crossings.

And while that might help slow the rate at which weapons flow into the country and bodies pile up, the real problem isn’t coming in from Sweden, but from Morocco, Turkey, Pakistan, Jordan, and Somalia.

Europe’s open infrastructure, its rejection of national and regional borders, has worsened the problem. From the mass flow of migrants from Muslim countries to the ease with which Muslim gang members move between European countries, the lack of border security has made the conquest of Europe easy.

The growing linkages between Muslim gangs across national borders is a warning of worse to come.

The main components of Islamic militias, like the ones that tore apart Syria and Libya, were gangs. Islamist forces like these are often made up of gangs with grandiose names. The Copenhagen gangs are still associated with international gangs and use their names, but eventually they will go Islamic.

And then it won’t be the Hells Angels anymore. It’ll be the Islamic State of something or other.

That’s a reality that Swedish authorities are deliberately ignoring.

A government site insists that immigrants are no more likely to be criminals than anyone else. “In a study from 2013, researchers at Stockholm University showed that the main difference in terms of criminal activity between immigrants and others in the population in Sweden was due to differences in the socioeconomic conditions in which they grew up,” it argues.

As if Swedes, including the researchers of Stockholm University, are only refraining from picking up AK-47s and throwing hand grenades because of their socioeconomic conditions. The moment they lose their lucrative research grants, they too will be setting off bombs and fighting over the drug trade.

But nonsense like this sounds reassuring because it suggests that the solution to Islamic violence is social welfare. That’s a comforting message for socialists for whom social welfare is the answer to everything.

Social welfare has been tried. Muslim immigrants are so deep in the social welfare system that they often never leave it. The gang members and ISIS terrorists are the welfare system’s children.

While the same old lies keep being told, the bombs keep going off and the bullets keep flying.

Whether or not the Swedish authorities can successfully keep feeding their population the same lies about the magic of integration, Denmark and Norway don’t want Sweden’s problems coming home.

But while Sweden’s insistence that it is a “humanitarian superpower” because of the volume of migrants it has taken in has obviously worsened the problem, no European country is immune from the threat.

The gangs in Sweden and Denmark disregard national borders and governments. They’ve bombed police cars and police stations because they believe that they are the law. They don’t care which government is in power or what its policies might be. They are the only authorities in their particular no-go zones.

And while it’s fashionable to deny that no-go zones exist, the bombings amply testify otherwise.

While the debate goes on about the thin line between terrorism and gang violence, the authorities are deploying the familiar toolkit of counterterrorism measures, including eavesdropping, to fight the war.

And when bombs go off and AK-47 fire is heard in broad daylight, does it matter what kind of war it is?

Bernie Sanders would like us to be more like Sweden. That means a frightened citizenry, bullets and bombs going off in the streets, while our taxes go to fund social welfare programs for our killers.

America can’t be more like Sweden. Not even Sweden is going to be able to be like Sweden anymore.

    Sweden used to be a peaceful and prosperous country until the left wing marxist European Union had the bright idea that “Open Borders” – multiculturalism and diversity were the answer. They should hang their heads in shame at what they have done to Sweden and Europe in the last 40 years.

      “we… ourselves, who still nurse a sense of our homogeneity and difference from others……
      And that’s precisely what the European Union, in my view, should be doing its best to undermine.”

      In 20 years Sweden will collapse and implode economically after the attempt to support and pay for waves of Islamic migrants, who contribute almost nothing.

      In all probability Sweden will turn into a rogue state resembling some African nations, where the rule of Islamic violence, not the rule of law, is in control.

      We are observing the death of a nation (among other nations).

      Are the Swedes aware of what’s going on or are the news stations very selective in what they report. I would imagine that they don’t report very much at all.

        People are afraid to speak up lest they be called ‘racist’. Being so labelled is a societal death sentence leading to social isolation, loss of employment and physical danger for oneself and one’s family. Who in their right mind would take this chance?

        This is not exclusively a Swedish problem. The whole EU seems to have lost the will to survive.

          If only a relatively small percent of Swedes speak up, you are correct…

          However, if the vast majority of Swedes spoke up, Muslim migrants / the left / mainstream media / and local law enforcement would be completely overwhelmed and – unable to handle the caseload.

    The message so very important that is worth reiterating. The message is that all those jihad bombing the nation of Sweden has been strongly linked to the large number of Muslim migrants may serve as an example of Muslim ungratefulness and unthankfulness for letting them enter Sweden to live. This this further exposes the Muslim’s Islamic contempt for people who are Westerners and Western civilization, Western laws.

    This Muslim violence may be yet better explained by one of the fables of Aesop which is entitled THE FARMER AND THE VIPER. So here it is “Once in ancient Greece there was a farmer outside on a very cold winter day walking in if field to make sure that everything is in order and as it should be. The farmer came upon a half-froze viper about to die from the bitter cold. The kind yet foolish farmer took pity on the viper and in an action of kindness put it his is vest jacket to warms and up and thus save its life. The viper warned up revived and then bit farmer through the vest jacket. So the kind but foolish farmer died a slow painful death in awful agony because he felt sorry of the viper and saved it life. The point to this fable is the no amount of kindness will change and vicious and evil nature.

    So it is with those Muslim migrants who were allowed to enter Sweden to live . Those violent migrants who are Muslims will not be impress and change because kindness of Westerners. This is because those violent Muslims have that ungrateful dangerous viper nature because of their venomous and violent religion which is Islam.

    Those bomb attacks in Sweden reflects the tragic reality In the different nations of Europe as a whole 91% of the victims of Islamic violence ,as in many cases deadly Islamic violence .The jihadists use firearms as well as using bombs .Even using themselves as human bombs time bombs ,just waiting to go off in the many cities of Europe . It only takes a few out of many to inflect much murderous harm. Those jihadists engaging in Islamic suicide/homicide bombings attacks is for a large part, the outcome the extreme brainwashing that is performed in Islamic mind programming centers which are mosques and madrasas. In those jihad mind control places students are thoroughly indoctrinated into the jihadist mindset of committing murderous bombing attacks in the jihad for the advancement of Islam. As Islam’s “holy book,” the Quran instructs in 9:111. , for example, “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain they kill and are killed.” Therefore, those who come out of those Quran based mind programming centers .mosque and madrasas, are so terribly harmed and damaged that they are literally, as it has be rightfully called, “dangerous to self and others.” This results in jihad suicide /homicide attack in which those jihadists who commit such murderous actions are so very deluded that they think of that jihad mass murders as “martyrdom operations.” This is Islamic delusion of the most heinous and malicious kind.

    This may be, somewhat, explained by the narrative from the fable of Aesop which is entitled THE SCORPION AND THE FROG So “Once upon a time there was a scorpion who really wanted to get to the other side of the river, but he could not swim. Therefore, the scorpion begged a frog to carry him on his back across the river. The kind but foolish frog agreed and then half-way across the river the scorpion stung the frog. In shock and horror the dying frog asks the scorpion “Why did you sting me since this means that we both are going to die” The scorpion replied “The reason that I stung you even though we both will now die is because that just what a scorpion, by nature, does.”

    In conclusion, just as that scorpion in the fable had proven himself by the dangerous and deadly, to self and others, because of his nature. The violent and murderous jihadists of Islam are as that scorpion, dangerous so self and other because they is their nature because they have been thought programmed in the ways of the violent and murdering jihad of Islam. As always stated above ,this is the sad and tragic reality of Islamic terrorism in today’s world.

    HURRAY, THEY DESERVE IT
    Sweden deserves it. I lived in Sweden for over 30 years, and the Sweeds kiss Muslim ass all the time, so now they deserve the shit that comes out of that ass they kissed.
    I remember that for 10 years I searched a job and even chose to work 5 years for free, just to prove I want to work and I can work. STILL the Muslim ass kissing Sweeds chose to give the job to some imbecile who could not even count, just cause he was Muslim and I was Christian.
    That I had 20 years of school made in Sweden had no value for the Sweeds compared to their no school Muslims who had more value then the Christians with school.
    .
    And EVER TODAY the Muslim ass kissing Sweeds blame people like me for not getting a job even after working for free just to prove them wrong, wile Muslims today in Sweden are still more higher valued then Christians.
    .
    So HURRAY let Muslims BURN SWEDEN cause they DESERVE IT.
    After all Sweden LOVES TO KISS MUSLIM ASS, NOW IT IS TIME SWEDEN ATE THEIR SHIT TOO AFTER ALL THAT KISSING…
    .
    PS: I moved out of Sweden although I talk PERFECT Swedish and I am blond with blue eyes like a Sweed, because of Sweden always favoring anybody else over me, with inclination on Mulsims, just because I am Orthodox Christian.
    .
    So Sweden deserves all troubles it has with Muslims, after all they LOVE kissing Muslim ass, now time to eat their shit too Sweden.

    So this is War, good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, BBC foreign news service, reporting that Sweden is under attack at this moment with the bombing of Malmo. We do not yet have any reports of civilian deaths or injuries but we will report them as soon as they come in. In other news…….

  9. Lotus says

    Nov 19, 2019 at 4:06 pm

    Here’s a recent article from the BBC about. this problem. Notice that the word ‘Muslim’ never appears. That is not an accident. The Beeb carefully curates its content to avoid appearing to be ‘Islamophobic’, but that is a betrayal of its mandate to report things truthfully.

    The article also states ”Swedish police do not record or release the ethnicity of suspects or convicted criminals …”

    Why not? That intelligence would surely help in profiling these criminals and thereby improve the ability of the Swedish police to take down these gangs.

    Makes me wonder whether or not the Volvo Overseas Delivery Program is suffering.

    A few years ago, I had planned to purchase a brand-new Volvo S-60 in Sweden – and tour the country with my wife and daughter…

    After I researched the country’s safety problems with Muslim migrants, I ended up buying my new Volvo in Danvers, Massachusetts.

    I would not go near that country, the police cannot / will not protect you.

    Half the Swedish people have woken up and sees what’s happening. They have realized what Islam is. They are also slowly realizing that the other half will never listen or wake up. So at some point there will be a rude awakening. It’s going to be very brutal. You see, Sweden is in reality an island. You can’t just flee. You have to fly or go through Denmark or Finland. And they have borders. When 2 million people will want to leave in a hurry, they won’t be able to. So they will defend themselves. I wish everyone could just live their lives happily and live together. But that won’t happen. It’s gonna get really really bad and there is nothing to do about it. Why have you done this to my country, and to Europe?

    Daniel is so right in his obs that Islamic criminal gangs eventually morph into islamic terror gangs. And this is actually the trajectory that the dreaded D-company mafia gang of Mumbai took under the leadership of don turned terrorist Dawood Ibrahim. His gang was number 1 in smuggling and extortion. Eventually, this worm was booted out of India and now he holes up in Pak and has become a brutal and mad Islamic terrorist.

      Nov 19, 2019 at 10:47 pm

      And to add, these gangs also become big heroes to the local Muslims and the gang don becomes a big billionaire of black finance with tremendous political nexus with corrupt politicians from the LEFT.
