The Swedish Government is planning to welcome these guys “home.”

News from the world’s most advanced multicultural dictatorship.

When the Islamic State terrorists are ready to retire from beheading, crucifying and burning innocent human beings, they will now enjoy a nice benefits package in Stockholm, Sweden, that includes free housing, health care and financial support.

In fact, Sweden’s own soldiers don’t even get the same benefits.

And some officials are suggesting the law-abiding population pay for the services so ISIS fighters can reintegrate into society.

A program to help ISIS fighters rejoin society is already in place in Sweden’s Örebro Municipality, where jihadists can obtain “psychological help to overcome traumatic experiences they may have suffered while fighting in Iraq and Syria,” according to Business Insider Australia.

The Swedish newspaper Expressen reported that councilor Rasmus Persson advocates offering terrorists jobs so they don’t feel alienated. Stockholm has released a document outlining its “strategy against violent extremism.”

Persson told the news program Tvärsnytt, “We have discussed how we should work for these guys who have come back, and to prevent them from returning to the fighting, and that they should be helped to process the traumatic experiences they have been through.”

Now the idea is spreading to other parts of the country. Sweden’s official coordinator against violent extremism, Mona Sahlin – a former leader of the Social Democrat Party – advocated using taxpayer funds to pay for the services.

Still, you can’t argue with results. Surely such generosity has at least reconciled “Swedish” Muslims to Western society.

In February, Sweden’s resident expert on “Islamophobia,” a Swedish convert to Islam, joined the jihadist ranks and is now fighting with ISIS.

In November 2014, the Swedish government estimated between 250 and 300 of its citizens have traveled to Syria and Iraq to join ISIS.

Just two months ago, Sweden’s national job agency fired all of its own contracted “immigrant resettlement assistants” because they were recruiting fighters for ISIS.

Oh.

Keep in mind, these kinds of exercises in pathological self-hatred are still not keeping people from calling Sweden a “racist” country.
