Sweden May Use Army to Fight Muslim Gangs
"Irresponsible immigration policy and failed integration have brought us to this point."
In September, I wrote “Bombs, Rockets and Torture Cells: The EU is an Islamic Narco-State“.
While the media harps on gun ownership in the United States, Muslim gangs in Sweden have taken to throwing hand-grenades and home-brewed explosives at each other. While the Muslim gang members still shoot at each other, they also like hurling explosives at apartment buildings.
At the end of August, there were four blasts in one hour at different buildings in Gothenburg where 10% of the country’s Muslim settler population lives. Unlike Belgium and the Netherlands, Sweden’s gangs and their weapons come from the shattered remnants of the former Yugoslavia: Bosnians and Albanians brought as refugees formed gangs and smuggled weapons from family members in their own homelands. They were joined by the Black Cobra gang: an Iraqi, Lebanese and ‘Palestinian’, organization expanding out of Denmark.
Authorities blame some of the infighting in Sweden’s Muslim gang scene on Rawa Majid, also known as the ‘Kurdish Fox’, who operates out of Turkey. Majiid had come to Sweden as a refugee baby only to build a massive criminal empire and plan RPG attacks. The killers are particularly indiscriminate. “If there are more than one on the scene, shoot all of them. Women, children, it doesn’t matter,” one gang member ordered.
Now things are bad enough that Sweden is considering bringing out the military. (But not serious enough that it’s considering ending the immigrant invasion.)
Sweden’s prime minister has raised the possibility of military help after a surge in gang violence and killings has swept the country, The Associated Press reported.
Ulf Kristersson’s move was prompted by a spike in violence in September, as crime gangs use young recruits to carry out contract killings.
“Sweden has never before seen anything like this. No other country in Europe is seeing anything like this,” Swedish Prime Minister Kristersson said in a speech to the nation.
Kristersson called a meeting on Friday with the country’s police chief and the head of Sweden’s defense forces to evaluate “how the armed forces can help police in their work against the criminal gangs.”
The media carefully avoids any mention of Islam, but you just have to read the names.
This week, a 16-year-old boy is on trial, accused of executing a 15-year-old at point blank range in a sushi restaurant in the Stockholm suburb of Skogås in January.
Ali Shafaei had escaped Taliban persecution and fled Afghanistan in 2019.
The attack was carried out on the orders of an ally of Majid, according to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.
The ally, 20-year-old Ibou Badije – operating under the nickname ‘Louise Gucci’ – was recently sentenced to 18 years in prison for ordering a series of shootings carried out by young teens earlier this year.
The shootings included one in Fruängen, southern Stockholm, on January 20 where the 14-year-old gunmen filmed themselves as they fired an assault rifle thorough a front door, posting the footage online.
At the end of July, 14-year-old friends Mohamed Suleiman and Layth Al-Azzawi were reported missing. They were later found dead in two separate woodland locations – one north and one south of Stockholm.
The Expressen newspaper reports that the teenagers had ‘sold guns belonging to the Foxtrot network run by ‘Kurdish Fox’ Rawa Majid’.
This is what happens when your country gets invaded and you welcome in the invaders.
‘Political naivety and cluelessness have brought us to this point. Irresponsible immigration policy and failed integration have brought us to this point,” Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said.
‘Exclusion and parallel societies feed the criminal gangs, providing space for them to ruthlessly recruit children and train future killers. Swedish legislation is not designed for gang wars and child soldiers. But we are now changing that,’ he vowed.
In April 2022, then-Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said Islamism on one hand and right-wing extremism on the other had been allowed to fester.
‘Segregation has been allowed to go so far that we have parallel societies in Sweden,’ the Social Democrat prime minister said at the time.
‘We live in the same country but in completely different realities. We will have to reassess our previous truths and make tough decisions.’
Those tough decisions will still have to be made. But for now it’s the invaders making them.

Muslim Nations Make Another All-Out Effort to Compel the West to Abandon Free Speech
And many in the West would be only too happy to oblige.

Morocco World News reported on Sept. 24 that Dutch human rights activist Edwin Wagensveld, whom it predictably called a “far-right Dutch extremist,” had once again torn a copy of the Qur’an “in a new provocative Islamophobic act” in from of Turkey’s embassy in the Netherlands. This was just one of many recent instances of desecration of the Qur’an, most of which have taken place in Denmark and Sweden. Several Islamic states are using them to attempt once again to intimidate the West into abandoning the freedom of expression and adopting Sharia blasphemy laws. This time, given the Left’s notable hatred for the freedom of speech, it just might work.
Morocco World News added that Wagensveld’s act “stirred outrage and frustration from many Muslim communities, who have repeatedly called on the international community to intervene to end such provocative acts.” Indeed. Turkey’s Daily Sabah reported on the same day that “in a statement, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said on Saturday that Ankara condemns the spread of these “provocative attacks,” which are allowed to be carried out in European countries under the guise of freedom of expression.” The Foreign Ministry stated that “the countries where such attacks have taken place must now take effective measures against these provocations, which are recognized by the United Nations as acts of religious hatred and violations of international law.”
The Jordanian Foreign Ministry issued a statement of its own, condemning these “irresponsible acts that provoke the feelings of two billion Muslims around the world, fuel hatred and threaten peaceful coexistence.” It added that religious symbols must be respected, and that this was a “collective responsibility that everyone must adhere to.”
In response to an earlier act of Qur’an desecration, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry declared: “This senseless and provocative Islamophobic act hurts the religious sensitivities of over 1.5 billion Muslims around the world.” It insisted that such acts were “not covered under any legitimate expression of the right to freedom of expression or opinion, which carries responsibilities under international human rights law, such as the obligation not to carry out hate speech and incite people to violence.”
Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Salem Abdullah Al Jaber Al Sabah said the burning “hurts Muslims’ sentiments across the world and marks serious provocation.” He said that the world should “shoulder responsibility by stopping such unacceptable acts and denouncing all forms of hatred and extremism and bringing the perpetrators to accountability.”
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said that Europe invokes the freedom of speech in order to “allow extremist and radical elements to spread hatred against Islamic sanctities and values.” He said that the burning was a “clear example of spreading hatred and fueling violence against Muslims” and had “nothing to do with freedom of speech and thought.”
Such responses demonstrate a superficial (at best) understanding of the freedom of speech, but as they come from Muslim countries, they’re understandable. Less forgivable was a recent statement of the High Representative of the UN Alliance of Civilizations, Miguel Angel Moratinos. His office said: “While the High Representative stresses the importance of upholding the freedom of expression as a fundamental human right, he also emphasises that the act of Quran-burning, amounts to an expression of hatred towards Muslims. It is disrespectful and insulting to the adherents of Islam and should not be conflated with freedom of expression.”
In other words, the High Representative of the UN Alliance of Civilizations does not really believe in the freedom of expression as a fundamental human right at all. He believes that when someone threatens to kill you over your expression, you should adopt a respectful silence. In other words, he wants the West to submit to Sharia blasphemy restrictions.
Moratinos and others issued these condemnations in the first place because of jihad violence. That’s the only reason. If someone burned a Bible, would the act make any headlines at all? No. Would any ambassadors be summoned? No. Would the High Representative of the UN Alliance of Civilizations start huffing and puffing about how the burning of the Bible was “disrespectful and insulting to the adherents of Christianity”? No.
What’s the difference? If you burn a Bible, Christians won’t kill you. If you burn a Qur’an, some Muslims will want very much to kill you. If you give in to them and curtail your activities accordingly, you’ll end up encouraging more such violent intimidation. Once the jihadis see that the West will give them what they want if they threaten violence, they’ll threaten ever more violence. That’s why Miguel Angel Moratinos is a fool who deserves the condemnation of all free people.
