“Islamophobia expert” who became an Islamic State jihadist is arrested in Syria

“Swedish-Norwegian ‘Islamophobia’ expert turned Islamic State jihadist Michael Skråmo has been arrested by Kurdish forces in Syria, with sources claiming Norway wants to prosecute the extremist.”

Skråmo went through the jihadist ranks. As an “Islamophobia expert,” he was a stealth jihadist, and then advanced to the ranks of violent jihad. An “Islamophobia expert” serves as a Sharia police officer who works against the freedom of speech, attempting to shut down any speech that is considered to insult Islam or discuss the Islamic texts that are used to justify human rights abuses worldwide, including the texts that Islamic State jihadists invoke to justify their actions. To openly discuss these obvious truths renders one “Islamophobic.”

Magnus Ranstorp, who is described as a “terrorist researcher at the Swedish National Defense College,” tries to minimize the seriousness of Skråmo’s jihad against Sweden and the West. Ranstorp acknowledges that “Skråmo had been well-known in Sweden, calling for Islamic State supporters to commit attacks on Swedish soil in propaganda videos,” but he makes excuses for Skråmo, claiming that he was “not involved in planning terror attacks personally,” that “he has not been an international propagandist; that is, someone who appears to speak in English or other languages in his videos. So he is big in Swedish context but he is small potatoes in the Islamic State.”

Calling for jihad attacks on Sweden is by no means “small potatoes” by any standard. Yet Sweden has paid thousands of dollars in welfare to Skråmo and his family, even while he was busy waging bloody jihad in the Islamic State stronghold of Aleppo.

From Islamic State jihadists to Muslim Brotherhood operatives, the goal is the same: conquest and subversion of the House of War, in keeping with Islamic texts to which far too many Muslims still adhere. Those who do not should be shouting their disagreement with the jihad from the rooftops, not screaming “Islamophobia.”

“Swedish ‘Islamophobia Expert’ Turned ISIS Fighter Arrested in Syria,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, March 10, 2019:

Swedish-Norwegian “Islamophobia” expert turned Islamic State jihadist Michael Skråmos has been arrested by Kurdish forces in Syria, with sources claiming Norway wants to prosecute the extremist.

The 33-year-old, born in Sweden to Norwegian parents, was captured this week in the village of Baghouz in one of the very few remaining areas under any form of Islamic State control, Swedish newspaper Expressen reports…..

Magnus Ranstorp, terrorist researcher at the Swedish National Defense College, commented on the arrest and his potential prosecution by the Norwegian government, explaining: “In Norway, the average penalty for participation and co-operation with IS is approximately seven years.”

He also added that there was a possibility of Skråmo being handed over to the United States, where he could face a much more substantial sentence of up to 30 years for fighting for the disintegrating caliphate.

Ranstorp suggested that while Skråmo had been well-known in Sweden, calling for Islamic State supporters to commit attacks on Swedish soil in propaganda videos, he was likely not involved in planning terror attacks personally.

“He has not been an international propagandist; that is, someone who appears to speak in English or other languages in his videos. So he is big in Swedish context but he is small potatoes in the Islamic State,” Ranstorp said.

These ‘Jihad Watch’ articles are disturbing. But they are also important. Thanks for posting them, and keeping us informed.

claiming that he was “not involved in planning terror attacks personally,”

And Goebbels didn't plan the Holocaust either. Guess that makes it okay.

Julius Streicher was completely outside the NSDAP policy making structure. However the decades long content of ‘Der Sturmer’ was enough to convict him. Streicher didn't even try this ‘who me?’ defense.

Islamophobia is a word made up by fascist, used by cowards to manipulate morons.

Used to squash any discussion of why it is rational to fear a religion with a 1397 year history of conquest and slavery, murder and mayhem.
