Sweden: Islamic school employs former Islamic State jihadis as teachers

I’ll say it again: what could possibly go wrong? Celebrate diversity!

“Calls for expired Swedish school permits to be axed after ISIS school exploits loophole,” by Nicky Harley, The Local, September 18, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Politicians in Sweden are calling for tougher measures on school permits after a controversial school with links to the Muslim Brotherhood exploited a loophole.

The Romosseskolan school, which runs Muslim independent schools, sparked controversy when it announced it was expanding into an education building that was shut down after allegedly employing former ISIS fighters as teachers.

Earlier this year it was accused of gender segregation in lessons and faced criticism over its policy of not allowing pupils a choice over whether they attended prayer sessions.

It had been awarded a permit in 2015 prior to these incidents to create a new school which expired in 2017.

However, it has been allowed to use the permit as school officials believed they would fail in a court bid to reject the continued use of it as they claim they had not made the timetable for its use clear.

Sweden’s Liberal party school policy spokesman Roger Haddad is now calling for an overhaul of the system which bans the use of old permits and takes the school governance into account.

The principal of the Romosseskolan school, Abdirizak Waberi, is also the former president of the Federation of Islamic Organisations, which is believed to be the European arm of the Muslim Brotherhood….

The Romosseskolan school plans to open a new school in the former state-funded Islamic Vetenskapsskolan school in Gothenburg, which was closed last year after it was accused of hiring ISIS fighters as teachers after their return from Syria.

In 2018 it had successfully appealed in court against a decision by the inspectorate to reject its request to open a school in the city of Boras….

The Vetenskapsskolan school was closed in December and had its permit withdrawn over radicalisation concerns.

It was claimed that one member of the school’s new board had shared ISIS propaganda online and four former ISIS fighters allegedly taught in the school, along with another man who had been accused of soliciting funds for terrorism.

    Sounds like a mission for the Council On Islamic Teaching of the Ummah in Sweden, or COITUS.

    I would certainly like to question the Swedish authorities as to why the hell former ISIS members were permitted to return to Sweden in the first place? The Swedes are committing suicide.

    However, it has been allowed to use the permit as school officials believed they would fail in a court bid to reject the continued use of it as they(?) claim they(?) had not made the timetable for its use clear.”

    The permit had an expiration date yet it wasn’t clear?

    It certainly appears like the old excuse of fearing the label, “Islamophobe”.

    One thing is certain. The new school will have more success in creating future violent jihadis in Sweden than south Chicago schools will have in creating math-proficient students.

    This is exactly the kind of article I’d been posting on Reddit over the years. Articles like these got me banned from numerous sub-reddits, but I always felt welcome on the conservative sub-reddits. Yesterday, r/conservative banned me for “excessive anti-Muslim spam”. I tried to explain that my posts were not anti-Muslim but rater anti-Jihadist and anti-Sharia law….to no avail.

    Folks, when the anti-Jihad voices are silenced even in conservative domains, you realize the extent of the trouble we’re in.

    Anyways, it’s nice to back at Jihadwatch.

      Cornelius, the hellhole known as “Reddit” has cracked down on anti-ISISlam speech since May – they used the BLM protests at George Floyd’s killing as a reason for “stamping out hate”… even if we’re just hating the worst most vile thing on earth – Islam and Jihad.

      What has our complaints about Islam got to do with a cop kneeling on someone’s neck in Minnesota? Nothing of course. Psychotic Silicon Valley nerds are taking any excuse they can to make people feel like aliens if they dare to oppose their favourite death cult.

      I am very scared about what our world is going to look like, just by the end of this year alone …. regardless of who wins the US election. It’s like the oxygen of sanity, freedom and truth is being cut off slowly.

          To honestly answer your question, hate speech is dangerous, if the target is those killing others, and feeding others’ means of livelihood, like crops, to their animals. Come to Nigeria, where it is a sin to speak against those who portend danger to your life and survival. Welcome to Nigeria where animal life is more sacred and precious than human.
          I guess it is same in some other climes we thought were saner before now. But we now know better. The whole world is rapidly turning upside down. Kudos to Islam, those who practice it, and their apologists!
          However, I still ask the question, ‘how did we find ourselves in this mess of a religion that has become poison to world and individual peace and coexistence?

          Durodola, “hate speech” is seldom threatening speech, which is and has been illegal for many decades. “Hate speech” is usually used to designate non-violent speech that some may not like.

    Well, I guess the fact that someone reported this.. shows that there are still actually some people in Sweden who are actually bothered by this. I guess that’s the upside. =/

    There is nothing wrong with diversity. We live in a diverse world. The problem is that these Muslims believe that an evil ideology is a religion. They believe that objectively evil commands come from God. This problem will not be solved until we accept that Islam is not a religion. It is the antithesis of a religion.

      A lot of diversity is benign or even benignant–Islam, anything but.
