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

Sweden charges Iraqi Muslim migrant with spying for the Islamic Republic of Iran

Nov 8, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The refugee stream has been infiltrated in all sorts of ways, not just by spies for the mullahs, but by active jihadis.

All of the jihadis who murdered 130 people in Paris in November 2015 had just entered Europe as refugees. In February 2015, the Islamic State boasted it would soon flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees. The Lebanese Education Minister said in September 2015 that there were 20,000 jihadis among the refugees in camps in his country.

Meanwhile, 80% of migrants who have come to Europe claiming to be fleeing the war in Syria aren’t really from Syria at all. So why are they claiming to be Syrian and streaming into Europe, and now the U.S. as well? An Islamic State operative gave the answer when he boasted in September 2015, shortly after the migrant influx began, that among the flood of refugees, 4,000 Islamic State jihadis had already entered Europe. He explained their purpose: “It’s our dream that there should be a caliphate not only in Syria but in all the world, and we will have it soon, inshallah.” These Muslims were going to Europe in the service of that caliphate: “They are going like refugees,” he said, but they were going with the plan of sowing blood and mayhem on European streets. As he told this to journalists, he smiled and said, “Just wait.”

On May 10, 2016, Patrick Calvar, the head of France’s DGSI internal intelligence agency, said that the Islamic State was using migrant routes through the Balkans to get jihadis into Europe.

“Sweden charges Iraqi man with spying for Iran,” by David Keyton and Jan M. Olsen, AP, November 6, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

STOCKHOLM (AP) — A 46-year-old Iraqi man was on Wednesday charged with spying for Iran by gathering information on Iranian refugees in Sweden, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Prosecutor Hans-Jorgen Hanstrom said the man, who was not identified, collected “personal information” about Iranian Arabs, known as Ahvazis, for Iran “under the cover of representing an Arabic online newspaper.”

The man is suspected of “having photographed and filmed Ahvazi conference delegates and demonstration participants in Belgium, the Netherlands and Sweden,” Hanstrom said in a statement.

The man was active during a four-year period ending February 2019, and also allegedly infiltrated online forums for opposition supporters, and gathered login information for routers, he said.

Hanstrom added the man allegedly communicated with Iranian intelligence agents via the internet or at personal meetings, including in Tehran. Iran’s Persian-dominated government is often accused of discriminating against its ethnic Arab minority….

Spying on refugees is “a very serious crime,” the agency said, adding it means that “people who are already vulnerable do not dare to exercise their constitutionally protected freedoms and rights in Sweden.”…

    When will Sweden realize that refugees are not always innocent and helpless people fleeing terror.

      When will Sweden realise that these specimens simply never were ‘innocent’ and ‘helpless’ in the first place but devious scroungers at best and malevolent criminal invaders for the most part? Answer – when ‘Sweden’ is no longer ‘Sweden’ but has been stolen from its rightful citizens and reduced to a degenerate third world islamic cesspit. And they’re nearly there now.

      Not only the Swedish politicians need to lear but all politicians of Europe need to learn that they are not only spying as told by their Mullahs and Imams but also told to attack where ever possible. It seems however that the Socialists, Greens, and Leftists surrender their brains once promised a public office as well as the CDU surrenders theirs ordered by Merkel. https://neonnettle.com/news/9384-asylum-seekers-attack-village-disco-with-machetes-in-germany

    He was charged with spying, then awarded a generous monthly stipend, free health care, free living accommodations, free college education, and a heartfelt apology for any mental distress he may have suffered during this trying ordeal.

    I got stuck on the word, “vulnerable” referencing his prize community …..hmmm but do blonde Swedes, Jews. ex-muslims, gays, atheists, Christians, elderly …. need protection. Who protects their pleas or recognition of security needs in their cities, in their situation? I suggest he get an Swedish copy or English copy of an authentic book they read and study in the mosque called a Koran, then compare it to what a jihadist in jail would say…no difference, that is if they have any Islamic terrorists in jail with funny names. Then try to figure out why they are treated so well, and were given a invite, I guess it is a trick profected, along with a birth rate upswing. Can’t talk about it? Can’t think about it? You have been silenced by fear or a political takeover.

      Well Swedeistan did one thing right….Maybe…. I’d like to know if the spy really gets prosecuted and actually gets kicked out or given a long prison sentence.
      There most likely is no, non muslim, country on earth, that one would find no spies or jihadis. thanks to leaders that know nothing of the real plan that Islamist have for conquering the world…TOO MUCH STUPIDITY and DUMB AS DIRT
