REPORT: One month of Islam in Sweden: May 2015.

On May 8, a symposium on jihadism took place at the Foreign Policy Institute in Stockholm. During the symposium, the Swedish Security Service revealed that the recruitment of Swedish youths to violent jihadism threatens to overwhelm the security service.

“I’ve worked for the Security Service for 30 years and as a police officer for 35 years,” said Swedish Security Service chief Anders Thornberg, “and I’ve never seen anything as inherently forceful as this. The pressure on the Security Service is huge. The recruitment of more and more people cannot go on. Eventually we will not be able to handle it.”

On May 8, the public broadcaster Swedish Radio (Sveriges Radio) reported on a group of residents of Gullberg, a small village in western Sweden, who are trying to thwart government plans to construct a housing project for asylum seekers in a renovated school in their village. Sweden’s Immigration Service (Migrationsverket) is now buying old schools, hotels and other large buildings in the Swedish countryside at a record pace, and renovating them to accommodate asylum seekers. . . .

Some residents of Gullberg, who were apparently frustrated, sent an anonymous letter to politicians stating that they intended to stop the plans by setting up a pig farm nearby. It would, they wrote, have “only an electrical fence between the animals and the school. Probably an electrical fence covering the entire back of the school. About 200 meters. Probably an impossible situation for some religions. Above all, Muslims.”
