Islamic State jihadi returned to Sweden for medical care, then went back to the jihad
“We give care to rich and poor, to murderers and people sitting in prison. If people need to be punished, there are other parts of society that can do it. Healthcare should not become part of the apparatus of punishment.”
Right. But he should have been arrested when he returned to Sweden, or not allowed to return in the first place. He joined an entity that is at war with Sweden. That should disqualify him from receiving any Swedish benefits.
“Isis jihadi ‘returned to Sweden to treat war wounds,'” The Local, March 1, 2019:
An Isis jihadi fighter returned to his home in Sweden to have wounds to his shoulder treated for free at a state-run hospital, before returning to the front line in Syria, Sweden’s Expressen newspaper has reported.
Khaled Shahadeh, 28, returned to Sweden in 2015 for medical care before returning to Syria that summer, his father told the newspaper, a claim the newspaper has confirmed by other sources.
Shahadeh is one of four Isis members from Gothenburg and the nearby city of Borås judged as a continuing threat to Sweden, alongside the convert Michael Skråmo, Nader el Shaya, and Mohamud Saeed Adib.
Thomas Lindén, chairman of the ethics advisory panel at Sweden’s Läkarförbund doctors’ union, said it was wrong to expect doctors to consider anything apart medical needs when deciding who to treat.
“We don’t judge people. We provide care according to the medical need and without looking at what a person is or what they have done,” he told the newspaper.
“We give care to rich and poor, to murderers and people sitting in prison. If people need to be punished, there are other parts of society that can do it. Healthcare should not become part of the apparatus of punishment.”
Doesn’t Israel do this too?
That is a country I would never call naive, for the most part anyway.
... and therein lies the problem. Judging involves discerning good vs evil. Judging is good.
Very surprising.
Said no one, ever.
So will sweden take in enemy soldiers, fix them up, and then allow them to return to waging war against sweden?
My white european cousins are acting guilty white deathwish insane. Can only be grateful I’m not there because I’d be the lone sane person being hated and hunted by the crazies in power over there.
This is the doctors’ board talking. What the general Swedish government does, that is that government’s responsibility. Not its physicians’ responsibility. Very easy to make a quip out of context and then crow as though one is righteous.
Guess they never heard of treat the patient while calling the police.
But then, again, they are Swedish, and stupid.
Deadly Altruism.
Don’t expect the jihadis to show any gratitude.
