From what I recall, even al-Assad, who's not exactly a saint himself, but certainly an expert on fighting against jihadists, said that the most dangerous jihadists reside in North European welfare states.
It has probably become official protocol for terrorist groups to treat European welfare states as places where they can lay low and hide from local authorities, whenever their terrorist operations in the Middle East end up in failure.
Even in Finland we had cases where suspected ISIS mass murderers fled here and sought asylum. Welfare funds are often channeled to Middle Eastern jihadist groups.

It is deeply frightening to people who only live to exploit and deceive. That something as cross-border as fleeing a country because it is impossible to live there has given a bad sound as we who have been kind to receive and show solidarity for those who have nothing have begun to systematically suspect everyone who seeks asylum.
A couple of days ago, a very angry national police chief said that Sweden's decision-makers must wake up and stop being so naive. Much because of what is happening in Malmö and Gothenburg. He said, among other things, that entire families who applied for asylum in Sweden have only come here to run criminal activities. Information that has been known for a very long time and the politician that continues closing their eyes and distancing from creating conflict with those who create chaos in Sweden. It made me think of a very sad story.
It was a Swedish woman who had just retired. The woman had a savings account when she had inherited her deceased husband's share of a forest. Her share was sold and there was a lot of money. She has a son who for long periods did not contact her and one day he got in touch. He needed to borrow money as it was crisis in his life. She then wondered if he made contact only for the money or if they would now keep in touch. He replied that the primary thing was that he wanted a normal relationship with her.
If I stop here since I already know how this will end, our politicians will behave in the same way in Sweden.
The mother and son do not live in the same city and he tells her that he has a job and that he will pay it back as soon as he can. He then tells "honestly" that he has smoked a lot of cannabis and that it took over and that he became addicted. He owed money to people who had sold drugs to him and now they had threatened him with beatings if he did not pay what he owed. The mother then immediately withdrew money from an account that was actually locked for savings and sent it to him. The loan continued and sometimes it could be several times a month and each time the son convinced her that he would pay it back. The money that was supposed to grow and become an inheritance to her 3 children including her son began to decrease at a very rapid rate.
The mother, who was deeply ashamed to have been persuaded to borrow such large sums, could not tell this to any of the other children.
She then talks in confidence with a neighbor. He immediately suspects that something is wrong and asks her where he works. They check the place online and then search further for his name and social security number and it turns out that he has not had a job for 10 years. And here her life collapses and the man repeatedly asks her why she continued to lend to him for so long. And she replied that she always had a little hope that it would turn around and that he would pay on the date he had said. And the amounts had become so large that she could not just give up when he had taken quick loans with a high interest rate and if she did not pay these bills, they would become larger amounts that she ultimately had to pay.
It turned out that the son did not take drugs but that he had lost SEK 1 million of her money at online casinos.
And here I see the son as our religious immigrants and the mother are our politicians. Our politicians who hope and believe that it will turn around after a few years and that it will get better and that they want to contribute to society. It's been 30 years now and I do not want to call our Sunni Muslims in Sweden a successful story.
