A Swedish city is considering giving jihadists returning from Syria and Iraq free housing, a driver’s license, and tax benefits to ease their reintegration
The support for extremists was proposed by Anna Sjöstrand
“There may be criticism, but [I think] that you should get the same help as others who seek help from us. We can’t say that because you made a wrong choice, you have no rights to come back and live in our society,” Sjöstrand said
The proposal has been eviscerated on social media, however, with users saying that Sweden is forgetting about the terrorists’ victims.
a similar ‘welcoming’ approach is also being considered in the Swedish cities of Malmö, Borlänge, and Örebro
Örebro was severely criticized in January after two IS terrorists – Liban Qadar, 23, and Mahamed Farah Osman, 24 – were offered internships in the municipality, but chose to return to Syria, where they were later killed in battle.
"We can’t say that because you made a wrong choice, you have no rights to come back and live in our society,”
That people drop out of extremist movements are nothing new. In Sweden, people have left the gang engaged in organized crime, as well as extremist movements that Nazi Swedish Resistance Movement, or the now defunct Party of the Swedes.

Thankyou for translating the article.
So just to confirm again, .......A "Swedish" citizen, can become a radical terrorist, blow up some people in Sweden, rape some young girls, as long as they are of the White tribe, go to a foreign country, join a deemed terrorist group, kill and behead a few foreigners, and Yazadi women, change your mind, Go back to Sweden and say, "Oh Im sorry about that, I made a mistake....now Im better, I want to be a happy Swede and listen to AbbA and Harpo"...........
And everything will be OK by the Swedish Govt and people, and you can live happily ever after in Peace?
Is that what the article says?
Cool, All I can say is.....Allloooha Ackbeer!!!
What a fantastic country......I want to live there too.

Oh, ok.
Can you please explain what it actually means then.....other than...its a Swedish issue.
Thanks.
Cheeky thing, you threw that in after I did this.
But thanks for answering the question.
So basically, they are criminals, conducting crimes against Humanity, ....and then Sweden forgives them,,,
No problems....
So.....What do the majority of Swedish citizens think of this?
Whether or not to file a Nazi organization, or if you fought for an Islamist extremist organization in the Middle East, there are some common denominators when it comes to leave or to drop out. Without help from the community, it is often doomed to failure.
It is the beginning of 2015 in Lund. A 17-year-old boy did not come to school. Later, it is clear that he traveled to Syria to join the Islamic State. Pictures on the Internet shows a young man in white clothes posing with an AK 47.In August, he is back in Sweden. On his Facebook page he is publishing a repudiation of IS. " It is incumbent upon a Muslim to publicly correct himself when he made a mistake," he writes, and continues:In recent months I spent in the Islamic state appeared another reality before my eyes squeezed my breast.(...)I do not support IS, partly because of their behavior against innocent Muslims and non-Muslims. I do not support them when they kill Muslims, breaking confidences and promises, do not follow our religion balance in all aspects (...)

Ha....I love how that 17 year old boy reiterates that he does not support them when they kill Muslims....
Screw these 140. Punish them for war crimes....it isn't like the Nazi's got a second chance. Difficult to reintegrate? TOUGH....you made a "big boy" decision now deal with the consequences.
What is it with people never wanting to hold anyone accountable for their decisions anymore....yes, let's cradle and help the poor troubled ISIS fighter who had it really rough and was afraid of dying if he left and realized it was a bad decision to go fight for an organization that was known for beheading and killing en masse.
Spare me the bleeding heart. Tell them to go back and fight for Sweden and kill ISIS fighters if they want to live....

Why even bother letting them back in?
There is something deeply wrong in Sweden when jihadists, who may have committed the most heinous of crimes, are rewarded for their efforts.

Well that is messed up.....free pass for murder and war crimes? Hell....why didn't they just offer that town up to Nazi's back in the day?
