Sweden Realizes It's Been Financially Supporting Hundreds Of Terrorists For Years
2017-03-13
[Daily Caller] Close to every person who left Sweden to fight for terror groups in the Middle East received welfare to support themselves abroad, according to a new government report.

A study of 300 Swedish citizens who fought in Syria and Iraq between 2013 and 2016 shows jihadis are getting increasingly good at getting away with welfare fraud. The individuals often use a person in Sweden to handle paperwork and create the illusion that they’re still in the country.

"It’s not surprising, we’ve seen the same pattern in other countries," Magnus Ranstorp, one of the authors behind the report, told state broadcaster SVT. "What’s most surprising is that close to everyone received it in some form. The oversight process needs to get better."
"What you subsidize, you get more of."
The most attractive option are government loans to study abroad. The loans are easy to get and thousands of dollars are paid out at once.
Very good. Now that this has been both realized and admitted, what will the Swedish government do about it?

#4  Do they mean Sweden's unwavering support for the "Palestinian Cause"?

Who's not been charged with aiding terrorism and their family expelled with them.
