SNIPPET: "An al-Qaeda-linked extremist group in Somalia has recruited more than 20 young people from Sweden to fight in the war-torn African country, the Swedish Security Service (Säpo) fears.
Somali Islamic insurgency group Harakat al-Shabab Mujahideen ("Movement of Warrior Youth"), better known as Al-Shabab, which is linked to al-Qaeda, is thought to have recruited dozens of Swedish youth to engage in terrorist acts, according to Göteborgs-Tidningen."
SNIPPET: "Gothenburg was identified by several sources as the largest recruitment base in the country, the report said. Sweden is also a fundraising hub for the group, according to Svenska Dagbladet editorial writer Per Gudmundson, who has written extensively about the issue."
SNIPPET: ""There are no supporters of al-Shabab here," mosque spokesman Abdi Fatah Shidane told Göteborgs-Tidningen."
SNIPPET: "Young men in Sweden are brainwashed, trained and recruited by terrorists on Somali terrorist movement al-Shabab, according to an informant who spoke to the paper."
SNIPPET: "Inspector Per-Olof Hellqvist of Säpo in Gothenburg confirmed to Göteborgs-Tidningen that young men from the Gothenburg area have traveled to Somalia.
"However, we do not know what they are doing there," he told the paper."
SNIPPET: "According to Gudmundson, the UN's special group on the Horn of Africa made a report on recruitment and financing that singled out Sweden as a hub for both recruitment and financing."
SNIPPET: "In addition, Gothenburg is home to Al-Shabab's largest online community, alqimmah.net, which was established by a former Nazi who converted to Islam, with information mostly in Somali as well as Arabic and one sub-forum in English that picks up the newest translations, Gudmundson told The Local."

Something tells me these "Swedes" are not exactly home grown stock.
Probably an Ethiopian. Ethiopia has a VERY long history with Christianity. However, Somali Christians come in only two forms: incognito and dead.
It’s not funny. PC is killing the West.
That we count on a government saturated with Leftist sissies to protect us is terrifying.
You’d think this guy wouldn’t talk that way. He’d realize just how idiotic that sounds, but they’re in a power bubble and nobody’s thinking.
Probably right. A quick google search turned up quite a few Ethiopian Churches in the country. Interesting, thanks for the education.
I know it’s not funny.
I look at jihad every day.
Your astuteness made me smile.
Sorry, my comment wasn’t really directed at you. You do a good job. That PC nonsense is murdering civilization, which is its basic intent.
My reaction... and I am not a Swede...
