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

Sweden: Taxpayer money is being funneled to violent Islamic jihad groups

Nov 13, 2019 2:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“The Swedish Security Service (Säpo) has found that taxpayer money is being funnelled into Islamic extremist group’s pockets through government grants. Säpo has found that a large number of organisations with links to violent extremism are using federal and municipal grant systems in Sweden, which the police say could ‘contribute to radicalisation and thus growth in extremist environments in Sweden.’”

The funding of jihad terror by Western taxpayers is nothing new. The Telegraph reported that “£80m of British taxpayers’ money” was “‘funnelled to al-Qaeda’ in decades-long scam” by British Muslims who “stole billions of pounds of public money through VAT and benefit fraud, topping up their gains with mortgage and credit card fraud. One per cent on the group’s gains, a full £80m, was allegedly funnelled into al-Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan, with funds reaching the Pakistani compound stormed by US special forces in the 2011 operation to kill Bin Laden…..the group netted around £8bn in public funds alone – almost triple the annual government expenditure on MI5, MI6 and GCHQ.”

And although the Trump administration stopped all aid to Palestinians in West Bank and Gaza last year, Fox News reported:

U.S. economic aid to the Palestinian Authority – paid for by your tax dollars – averages $400 million a year. The Palestinian Authority’s 2018 budget includes approximately $360 million to support imprisoned terrorists and the families of dead terrorists – including murderers of Israelis and Americans.

The Hill ran a similar report the year before, entitled “Do American taxpayers know they’re funding Palestinian terrorists?”

It should be obvious that no Islamic group in the West that is connected to jihad terror should be funded by taxpayers.

“Sweden: Taxpayers are Funding Violent Islamic Extremist Groups,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, November 12, 2019:

The Swedish Security Service (Säpo) has found that taxpayer money is being funnelled into Islamic extremist group’s pockets through government grants.

Säpo has found that a large number of organisations with links to violent extremism are using federal and municipal grant systems in Sweden, which the police say could “contribute to radicalisation and thus growth in extremist environments in Sweden.”

The report found that all manner of extremist linked groups, both left-wing and right-wing, had taken advantage of state aid, however, Johan Olsson, the Operational Manager at Säpo said: “right now we see that the problem is greatest in the violent Islamist environment.”

The police say that individuals from Islamist groups are using public-funded schools, cultural associations and foundations as platforms to spread extremist ideology within Sweden.

Though it is difficult to estimate how much public funds are being used by Islamist groups, due to the lack of transparency in the funding system, it is believed that the figure is in the range of millions of Kronor (Swedish currency).

“To reduce growth in extremist communities, society needs to prevent organisations that contribute to radicalisation from receiving public funds. The state should not fund activities that undermine our democracy by supporting violent extremism” says Olsson.

Sweden has been ravaged by a spate of bombings, with one expert stating that the amount of bombings is unparalleled in the developed world. Some estimates claim that bombings have nearly doubled since 2018. The multicultural Swedish city of Malmo has been particularly hard hit by bombings and shootings…..

    More suicidal insanity.

    If the United Kingdom’s Revenue & Customs has been so penetrated and compromised by islamists that 80 billion pounds (!!!) can be siphoned-off while it’s bosses decline to tell the intelligence services about it, then that goes a long way to explaining what the NHS – (which is obviously far more lax with staff-vetting and financial checks than the Revenue) – does with all our money.

    Overheard in Sweden: “Do you remember when women could walk the streets at night, we could go swiming, be safe in any neighborhood, and we didn’t have to share the dole with those bearded guys who never work? Shhh… someone might hear!”

    A recent article by the BBC on the very high level of bomb blasts in Sweden. The article is extremely coy about who is responsible, with just a vague reference to ‘immigrants’.

    No surprise there. God (Allah) forbid they should come out and say these attacks are caused by Muslims!

    As for the ‘refugees’ brought into Sweden, they have no sense of gratitude for being allowed to live in one of the best places in the world.

    Check out this article from 2014, which reports on how a group from Syria objected to the living place they were assigned.

    The Swedes have become dhimmi dopes. They need a bit of that old Viking spirit!

      Yes, Lotus–I remember this story from the time–no real refugees would act like this.

    One only has to read the Muslim Brotherhood manifesto to know exactly what is occurring in many western countries with government grants and foreign aid is clearly a strategy by the MB to have the west pay for its own demise.

    In Canada Trudeau gives millions to a charity “Islamic relief” and much of that money is funnelled to terror organizations like Hamas.

    International banks will no longer take donations for this organization but Trudeau still gives more of our tax money.

    The MB are insidious and must be eradicated from the west.

    Yes, what a coincidence – almost as if the cause is pointing itself out… Now, about the sexual assault stats…
