When the Islamic State terrorists are ready to retire from
beheading, crucifying and burning innocent human beings, they will now enjoy a
nice benefits package in Stockholm, Sweden, that includes free housing, health
care and financial support.
In fact, Sweden’s own soldiers don’t even get the same benefits.
And some officials are suggesting the law-abiding population
pay for the services so ISIS fighters can reintegrate into society.
A program to help ISIS fighters rejoin society is already in
place in Sweden’s Örebro Municipality, where jihadists can obtain
“psychological help to overcome traumatic experiences they may have suffered
while fighting in Iraq and Syria,” according to Business Insider Australia.
The Swedish newspaper Expressen
reported that councilor Rasmus Persson
advocates offering terrorists jobs so they don’t feel alienated. Stockholm has
released a
document outlining its “strategy against violent extremism.”
Persson told the news program Tvärsnytt, “We have discussed how we should work for these guys who
have come back, and to prevent them from returning to the fighting, and that
they should be helped to process the traumatic experiences they have been
through.”
Now the idea is spreading to other parts of the country.
Sweden’s official coordinator against violent extremism, Mona Sahlin – a former
leader of the Social Democrat Party – advocated using taxpayer funds to pay for
the services.
After learning of the plan, one Swedish soldier stationed in
Kabul during his third mission in Afghanistan posted a challenge on Facebook.
He asked that Sweden extend the program to its own warriors returning from
duty.
“In a few months, I’m back in Sweden after being deployed in
Afghanistan, against the Taliban and others who have really jeopardizing
development in this very sore country,” Frederick Brandberg wrote.
“There is no permanent job waiting for me when I come home.”
Brandberg added, “It would be wonderful if I was met with a
comparable program after my homecoming, after which I could feel safe in having
a regular job, with monthly income and a social stable situation in the society
where I wouldn’t need to wonder whether I’m wanted or not.”
In November 2014, the Swedish
government estimated between 250
and 300 of its citizens have traveled to Syria and Iraq to join ISIS.
Just two months ago, Sweden’s
national job agency fired all of its own contracted “immigrant resettlement
assistants” because they
were recruiting fighters for ISIS.
Sahlin admits Swedish immigration
policy has failed. She says she is more worried today than she was a year ago,
because
Swedish school children are now playing ISIS games in preschool.
She told Expressen, “When I talk to a preschool teacher who
says that kids at her kindergarten are playing ISIS outside, or when I hear
about young people who ask: ‘Are you Sunni or Shia?,’ then it has gone much
further than I thought.”
Sahlin added, “A large part of the authorities in Sweden
have abdicated our suburbs. And we are also afraid to touch issues regarding
religion. The debate stops because we are too ignorant and too cowardly to
challenge the extreme interpretation of a religion that ISIS is based upon, and
which also exists in our country.”
The plan to rehabilitate jihadists has been drawing
widespread criticism online, where readers have posted the following comments:
- “All of them should just get a bullet in the head upon return”
- “How will they differentiate between a person who genuinely regrets joining ISIS and those who are returning just to spread the violence and the ideology in Sweden?”
- “This has been done before, and we’ve had jihadists who have returned for medical reasons only to go back later”
- “They’re inviting more problems for themselves”
- “Assuming that ISIS fighters are generally good sounds like a suicidal recipe. That’s like assuming a convicted child molester has generally good intentions toward children”
- “So this effectively makes terrorism legal (if the terrorist regrets it). Who the f— thought that was a good idea?”
