Sweden: A New Hotbed of Jihad Terror A rapidly Islamizing country is turning out jihadis regularly. by Robert Spencer

Welcome to the new, multicultural Sweden: in early Dec. 2024,according toRemix News, “four men, including two Swedish brothers who converted to Islam, have been charged with preparing to commit acts of terror and involvement in a terrorist organization, according to an indictment submitted to Nacka District Court. The group is accused of acting on behalf of the Islamic State in Somalia, with plans allegedly targeting Jewish individuals as part of their intended ‘jihad.’”
They were just one such group among many. The Swedish-language Fria Tider reported in late Nov. 2024 that “two Afghans with connections to the terrorist group IS-K are on trial in Germany – suspected of plans to carry out a terrorist attack against Sweden’s parliament and kill at least ten people. The oldest of the defendants, a 30-year-old, has admitted to the plans during the ongoing trial in Germany. He states that he was brainwashed by the Islamic State and was motivated by the Koran burnings in Sweden.”
The Swedish government has taken a strong stand regarding those Qur’an burnings: Agence France Presse reported on Nov.5, 2024 that a Swedish court court had “sentenced a Swedish-Danish right-wing activist to four months in jail for inciting ethnic hatred at two 2022 protests that included the burning of Korans. Rasmus Paludan provoked rioting in Sweden in 2022 when he went on a tour of the country and publicly burned copies of the Koran. In August, prosecutors charged him with ‘agitation against an ethnic group’ over a protest in the southern city of Malmo in April 2022, where he desecrated and set fire to the Muslim holy book while making disparaging comments about Muslims.”
This has been a long time coming. Sweden’s third-largest city, Malmö, had by 2004 become one-quarter Muslim, and that number was rapidly growing. Nor were the Muslims of Malmö inclined to demonstrate their moderation. Even the police were afraid: “If we park our car it will be damaged — so we have to go very often in two vehicles, one just to protect the other vehicle,” reported a police officer in Malmö. Meanwhile, Swedish ambulance drivers would not enter some areas of Malmö unless police accompanied them.”
Also in Malmö in 2017, Muslim migrant youths set fire to two cars and then pelted firefighters who came to put out the fires with rocks and bottles. The firefighters had to retreat, whereupon the young migrants burned down a building. Young migrants in no-go areas have also attacked emergency medical personnel.
As far back as Sept. 2016, three Swedish police officers were quitting every day. Police Sergeant Peter Larsson declared: “We have a major crisis. Many colleagues have chosen to leave. We will not be able investigate crimes, we have no time to travel to the call-outs we are set to do. A worsened working environment means that many colleagues are now looking around for something else.” He ascribed the widespread dissatisfaction among police to a deteriorating work environment: “The violence against us in the police and the paramedics and firefighters, has become much worse. We’re talking about stone throwing, violence, fires. It has become much worse in recent years.”
A Swedish resident of a no-go zone in Gothenburg, Tina Svensson, explained that while violence was increasing, police were frequently nowhere to be found. In one incident, she said, “there were two guys who were shot. With some kind of automatic weapons. Two magazines, perhaps. It may not be what you would expect when you are out walking the dog.”
The no-go zones were an increasing drain on the resources of the municipalities involved. Swedish authorities began constructing a new police station in Stockholm’s Rinkeby no-go zone. But in Aug. 2018, masked assailants drove a car into station, which had not yet been completed, and then set their car, which was filled with fireworks, on fire.
In light of such incidents, it was understandable that police would continue to quit their jobs. Officials in many notorious no-go zone areas were forced to spend money on private security guards to make at least some effort to stem the rising tide of migrant crime. In Stockholm, which featured no-go zones not only in Rinkeby, but also in Tensta, Husby, and Järva, by Sept. 2019, officials had spent 70 million Swedish kronor (over $7 million) on these guards.
These guards were much needed. The Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (Brå) released a survey in November 2017 revealing that 48 percent of the native Swedish residents of Malmö believed that it was too dangerous to go out at night. In the Swedish city of Ystad, 58 percent of the Swedes revealed that they were deeply worried about skyrocketing crime rates, which were largely due to the migrants. In Stockholm and Gothenburg, the survey results were much the same.
In Sweden, Muslim migrants from Afghanistan are 79 times more likely to commit rape and other sexual crimes than native Swedes. Migrants and refugees commit 92 percent of rapes in Sweden. Rapists in Sweden come from Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Eritrea, Syria, Gambia, Iran, the Palestinian territories, Chile, and Kosovo, in that order; rapists of Swedish background do not exist in sufficient numbers to make the top ten, and all the nations on that list except Chile and Eritrea are majority Muslim.
Yet speaking out against what is happening in Sweden is still heaving stigmatized. Better to die than to be perceived as “Islamophobic.”
