“But it is uncertain if any of the men will be able to be deported because they risk persecution in their home country.”
And that is much, much more important than the risk they pose to Swedish citizens.
“Sweden expels imams and associates, citing radicalisation concerns,” by Jack Dutton, The National, October 31, 2019:
Sweden has decided to expel six detained Muslim extremists from the Scandinavian country who “contribute to Islamist radicalisation and pose threats to the security of the kingdom”.
The six men, who are described by the government as central figures in the radical Islamist environment, were taken into custody during the Security Police offensive last spring.
They include Gävle mosque’s imam Abo Raad and his 34-year-old son Raad Al-Duhan, as well as four others with connection to the imam have been detained for six months. Both are Iraqi and immigrated to Sweden 1997 and 1998 respectively.
They also include an Iraqi Imam in the eastern city of Umeå, who immigrated to Sweden in 1998 and a Russian resident of Gävle, who according to his own information, was former imam in his home country before he immigrated to Sweden in 2011.
Among the expelled included an Imam in Västerås city, who is stateless amd [sic] immigrated to Sweden in 2001 and a school leader in Western Sweden, an Egyptian citizen who immigrated to the country in 1998.
“We hope he can come back in his role as an imam,” says Nizam Hindi, Gävle mosque’s spokesperson, to Swedish radio show P4 Gävleborg.
Säpo, the Swedish Security Service, will reportedly still keep six men under surveillance. Säpo declined to comment more on the details of the case when contacted by The National.
The authority, supported by the Special Aliens Control Act, requested the men to be expelled, but the decision had been appealed to the government….
“After reviewing the Security Police’s documentation and what the parties have stated, the government has decided to expel six people who constitute qualified security threats,” Interior Minister Mikael Damberg said.
But it is uncertain if any of the men will be able to be deported because they risk persecution in their home country.
The Migration Tribunal has found that there are currently obstacles to enforcing the deportation decisions, the TT news agency reported. But the Swedish government said it was actively working to remove the obstacles….
Over the past few years, the extremist movements in Sweden have seen a significant growth and the number of individuals affiliated with violence-promoting extremism has risen from a few hundred to several thousand.
Hmmm. What could have caused that?
Michael Copeland says
“Islamist radicalisation”: a definition is needed.
In the UK “Islamist” is used to denote “political Islam”, on the mistaken assumption that that is something different from Islam. That is not how Islamic clerics understand it.
“Our Islam is political” – Mullah Krekar
“Islam is politics or it is nothing” – Ayatollah Khomeini
“Radicalisation” is used by the UK government “Prevent” strategy:
“Radicalisation refers to the process by which a person comes to support terrorism and extremist ideologies associated with terrorist groups.”
Hear Ragab Hilal Hamida MP in the Egyptian Parliament:
“The Quran directly commands us to commit terrorism”.
Koran 8:60 has “Turhibunna” – terrorise them. The Koran is part of Islamic law.
It seems very much that “Islamist radicalisation” is actually just basic Islamic teaching.

Spot on, Michael.
Westman says
Perhaps this is the fate of all democratic nations: Slowly, in the absence of a war for survival, the nation splinters into opposing political factions until government is log-jammed and ineffectual in responding to long-term threats.
Sweden, France, and Germany can’t deport a terrorist, Trump can’t build a wall, the UK can’t get out of the EU, and nobody can point out the Islamic threat without censure or persecution. Is this how Rome was lost?
Christopher Watson says
Maybe this is how we will end. Not with a battle or brave acts but with a sad fumbling for arguments which will be PC, in which we fight (?) not to be rude to anyone (heaven forbid!), to be polite, to obey the rules of the opposition and to be ‘nice people’ and ‘play the game’.
Yes, this IS how Rome was lost. Rome loved its games to much; allowed too many people into the Empire and thousands of foreigners into its army; it also tried to treat all it’s citizens as equal, whether they were from Britain or Syria. They were globalists. They lost the will and the vision to keep their Empire as an entity and gave it up to too many self-interests.
Westman says
Christopher, I think we agree on the central cause for the demise of democratic nations: Democracy dies when the self-interests (and special interests) of the majority become more important than retaining sufficient unity to preserve that Democracy. They shatter by fractionalization.
Perhaps only a world-level disaster or war can reverse this? And then the cycle begins, again?

I don’t believe that freedom inevitably has to die. Western nations must realize the threat we face from Islam–that is certainly war enough if we recognize what it is. (Not that I believe that war is the only thing that protects freedom–an alert populace is important, or else a nation facing a threat, war or otherwise, just falls to it).
Ray Jarman says
If these imams are fugitives who fled their nations of birth, that would be even more reason for their return. The dates, 1997 to 2001, of some of the arrivals probably means that they fled their home nations before the 2011 Arab Spring and the article does not state that they were refugees, only immigrants. Only an open rebellion from maybe Malmo will awaken the Swedes and I hope it will not be too late.

Once upon a time, criminals were dealt with, for the protection of the public, to teach a lesson to the criminal, to punish the criminal. The lessons learned could be learned also by other ‘would-be’ criminals as a warning.
Now it seem, none of these things can happen when the criminal is a moslim. The moslim criminal can’t be properly punished…because he might be persecuted (might be), he can’t be taught a lesson, because his religion comes first, and the public can’t be protected because it would mean the moslims would be punished and taught a lesson.
And the moslims who forsook their homes…and sometimes, familiy…to go to Syria and fight with the terrorists against the governments and against the citizens, raping, torturing, murdering their way across the lands, are demanding to return to their ‘homes’ and bring with them diseases and fighting skills…and the Courts are saying this must happen…or else. Because to do differently makes them “stateless” and that just is not fair to those terrrorists who are moslim through and through.
The young man from the U.K. who went to Syria to fight the terrorists…gets punished for his “crimes.”
The young man who put bacon on the door of a moslim meeting and planning to prey building…was punished and died in prison from “persecution” by moslims.
“The great dragon, serpent satan the devil, was hurled down to the earth, having great anger..knowing his time is short.. and his angels were hurled down with him….: (Revelation 12)
And satan the devil, dragon and serpent, along with his demon “angels,” have gathered up a large number of human ‘children’ who are waging war along with the demons. The results; all of the above, and so much more evil, it is inundating the earth and mankind.

So many islamic books!….. filled with…..al lah’s worthless pagan Arab knowledge.
And no WISDOM of course.
No concept of “If you live by the sword you will die by the sword” for example.
No concept of actually OBEYING any one of those essential Exodus 20 laws.
No concept of ‘Love thy neighbor”{allah completely missed the 2nd chief commandment..and the First..didn’t he?}
No “Golden Rule” to be found.
Those islamic books should be used for something positive:recycling.
gravenimage says
Agreed, FYI. They should also be read by Infidels, to learn how horrific Islam really is.
FYI says
Yes.Agreed.
“Infidels” should know what these islamic books teach.
{Christian evangelists,Jews,Atheists,Hindus,Buddhists etc are all “infidels” in islam}
islam has a political and religious totalitarian ideology.
“Apostate” muslims{who i fully support,be they Atheists,now Christians etc} are often targeted by muslim apologists and viciously abused precisely because they KNOW what islam is all about:especially Arabic speakers as much of islamic deception involves the pathetic “oh you couldn’t possibly understand the Arabic of the koran” nonsense.
Ex-muslims who speak and know Arabic are not likely to be popular with Dawa teams or islamic apologists as they rely on “infidels” not knowing Arabic.
You would not believe how muslims “fiddle the Arabic” to hide all the errors in the koran:It is absolutely pathetic!
Ex-muslim Arabic speakers are most useful and valuable….

Repatriate all Swedish Muslim’s back to Muslim Country of their choice! Let them rebuild their own countries as the Dalai Lama said! Europe belongs to Europeans!
Bella says
They never really wanted to deport them. I think it’s all a show for their own Swedish people. Hey look, we’re doing something to protect you – not. Churches are disappearing or turning into mosques and the white man is also disappearing because they just don’t have enough kids. The west is suicidal and the moslems love it.

Sweden: Six Muslims, including imam, ordered deported for “radicalization,” but may not be deported
……………
Deport them all. Swedes should not be endangered fro these Jihadist thugs. If they wanted to be protected by Sweden, they should not have been plotting against their protectors.
abad says
Deport them. Moslems do not belong in Sweden.
Angemon says
Or, in other words, their nation’s governments do what the Swedish government is too squeamish to do – prosecute and condemn criminals…
Giacomo Latta says
”ordered deported but may not be deported”
Definitely not news. This is Sweden down to its DNA. Full of laws promoting the equality of women, not stating that men are in charge of women; protecting women against violence, not promoting violence against women like the koran does; protection of children from being abused, traded or sold, not what the koran promotes; etc, etc. But when it comes to applying laws, well, that seems to be unconscionable.
Rolf Wittwer says
Down with the imposed PC on us, the non Muslims!!
We have to fight this sneaking ongoing invasion and bring down this stifling lifestle before it’s too late
And honestly,:there can never be a fair life together; they will try to impose their culture on us.
Just look around of what’s going on worldwide!
