Swedish state security is concerned about a video that has surfaced in which a “Swede” calls upon his fellow Muslims to go to Syria and join the jihad against the Assad regime. Meanwhile, Dutch police arrested three “Dutchmen” in Rotterdam who planned to travel to Syria and fight in the jihad.
In other news, two “Floridian” brothers born in Pakistan were arrested by federal authorities and charged with providing support and financing for terrorist activities and conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction in the United States.

Why the hell did the dutch authorities stop these would-be fighters from reaching their 72 virgins? Could have been a good way to get rid of them for ever.Are authorities that stupid in our countries?
You may be onto something there. All European muslims of fighting age should be encouraged to go and join the jihad in Syria.
If they did not come back and all further muslim immigration into Europe is halted then problem solved until the next generation grow up when we will have to stir up another Arab Spring jihad for them to go and fight in.
That way there will be no more increase in the muslim population and a massive decrease in the benefits bill for most European countries. Islam will, in effect, have been transported out of Europe back to its traditional homeland and Christian Europe can
lick its wounds and recover.
