In Sweden, Iran’s proxies recruit criminals and minors to threaten Israelis, Jews
Times of Israel ^ | February 7, 2025 | Bart Schut

The first noticeable thing about Aron Verständig was that he arrived without a security detail. For a man who was the target of a murder plot by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, walking around without bodyguards could appear almost reckless. But the bespectacled chairman of the Judiska Centralrådet, or the Official Council of Swedish Jewish Communities, has taken it in stride.

Granted, the Iranian agents who were planning his murder were arrested and deported, but the regime has a long memory and is unforgiving.

Many in Sweden are already pointing fingers at Tehran for last week’s murder of Islam critic and Quran burner Salwan Momika in Södertälje, a suburb southwest of the capital, Stockholm. And even though Verständig is not the subject of a fatwa — a religious bounty like the one that hung over author Salman Rushdie for decades before a 2022 attempt on his life in upstate New York left him blind in one eye — his lack of security seems cavalier at least.

Asked how it feels to be a target of a known state sponsor of terror, Verständig shrugged and answered with what could be described as typically cool Swedish sarcasm: “It did bother me a bit when they told me about it.” That was in 2021...

It’s not as if the threat from Iran has diminished in Sweden since then, as the murder of Momika shows. On the contrary, other incidents and attacks in the past year suggest that, if anything, the IRGC has stepped up its terror activities in the Nordic country, including against Jewish and Israeli targets.

One of its methods is to recruit criminal gangs — and even minors — from the large immigrant community and roughly 800,000-strong Muslim community.

This happens not just in Sweden but throughout Western Europe.

It is sad to see the once beautiful culture of Sweden destroyed by the muslims thanks to their liberal gov’t.

Sweden only has 10 million people. That's a large army assembling right under their noses.

Any bets on how much USAID gave them for this purpose?

I guess Sweden doesn't have Democrats to harbor people like this or keep their cases tied up in court for years.

Sweden is one of several European countries (plus USA and Canada and...?) whose Ruling Elite has SOLD THEIR NATION OUT to the Islamic invasion forces. Under the guise of normal immigration. Or under the guise of refugee admissions. Or under any other guise, letting these dangerous terrorists and/or their enablers, supports into a civilized country is a well-known prescription for disaster.
In addition to cleaning out the problem through, if one wishes to be humanitarian about it, simple repatriation or return of the dangerous element home to Pakistan or Algeria or Krapistan or whereever will take them......
in addition to repeling the invasion, the politicians and any other Swedes that sold the country out by admitting or importing this evil garbage need to be arrested, tried, and convicted for treason and/or aiding and abetting the enemy.

Thereafter, if Sweden wishes to demonstrate its “liberal humanitarian philosophy” it can do so outside of its national defense and immigration laws. Or else, it can admit almost any other religious or national or ethnic group. There are several who could use refuge away from violence, often it is violence perpetrated by the very same Islamicist forces too. Help the victims of Islam not the perpetrators! That’s how you can show your humanitarian concern.
ps Ottawa and WashingtonDC, are you listening!???
