Expert: Islamic extremists continue to openly recruit in Sweden

(Breitbart) Swedish terrorism expert Magnus Ranstorp has claimed that Islamic extremists continue to recruit and spread their ideology in Sweden despite the defeat of the Islamic State.

Ranstorp says he blames inaction from the Swedish government, which allowed as many as 300 Swedes to travel to the Middle East to join the terror group, with at least 150 of them already having returned to Sweden.

“There has been a chain reaction of tardiness on all different levels and different fronts. It’s basically been a disaster. Especially in the area of prevention, but also in terms of legislation,” Ranstrop told Swedish broadcaster SVT.
