    It's a pretty good start.

    Yet 'Le Grande Projet' was supposed to prevent future European wars. The best-laid plans of mice and bureaucrats, eh? :roll:

    (That's paraphrasing 'The best-laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley, an' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain.' Or something like that! [​IMG] )

    The doomongers will just stay behind their curtains, panties wet, knees knocking until it is time to write another letter to the Daily Mail whilst the rest of us get on with our lives.

    The BBC was talking about this tonight on NPR.

    This is supposed to be a statistical prediction based on the nonacceptance rates so far, not a body count. Additionally, it will take awhile to accomplish because of the numbers involved, according to the spokesman for the Swedish government.

    Meh, if they come under the remit of asylum seekers, it's legal for them to go AFAIK. Logistics will mean it won't happen over night, but I would wager a high percentage will be easy to get out.

    I reckon that as soon as it gets under way the 'refugees' will start disappearing; after a while the authorities will get cheesed off with chasing them all over the countryside and otherwise given the run-around; an amnesty will be effected.

    With all the problems Europe has had integrating third world Muslims, who thought the problem would get better by adding millions more?

    It seems Swedes expanded their awareness about the world and had enough.

    Muslims are not possible to integrate in a small country. In a large country they can be tolerated, but never integrated. USA is a good example of this.

    Good question.. IMO Sweden shouldn't have taken so many.. Maybe 10,000..

    Most will assimilate and be good citizens.. Some will return to Syria when the situation improves.. But, overwhelming the country is not in the best interests of the Swedes or the refugees.

    I did just read that the Dutch are considering 250,000.

    They seem to think they can send them home although the Swedish police has requested additional resources to do so. Around 45% of the 160k are expected to be rejected.
    It is hard to say. Denmark has had rejected refugees living in camps for years because they couldn't send them back. Time will tell how the Swedish situation pans out.

    Which "terrorists" were those then? By the way, in case it escaped your notice, this thread is about Sweden. It helps if you pay attention dear. There's a good girl.

    Obama releases top al Qaeda explosives expert from Guantanamo


    The Obama administration has released one of al Qaeda’s most skilled explosives experts, a man personally praised by Osama bin Laden and who created the shoe-bomb design that was used unsuccessfully to bring down an airliner in 2001.

    The Pentagon said Thursday that Egyptian Tariq Mahmoud Ahmed al Sawah, who may have known of the original Sept. 11 plot, was transferred to the government of Bosnia. Al Sawah fought with the Bosnian army in the early 1990s and eventually made his way to Afghanistan in 2000.



    There you go, Sweden can deport them to Bosnia, apparently theyll take anybody.....

    Hmm, ONE from over 700 detainees? Oh, and he wasn't released, he was transferred. He's still in prison. Anything else you'd like to add?

    Obama releases Gitmo detainees determined to keep trying to kill Americans

    Among the 10 Yemeni terrorists released by the Obama administration this week, one is Muhammad Salih Husayn al-Shaykh, a man who has pledged to kill as many Americans as possible.

    Another of the latest group is Abu Bakr Ibn Muhammad al-Ahdal, an al Qaeda member described by the intelligence community as a “willing terrorist against the U.S.”

    n fact, five of the 10 were deemed by the George W. Bush administration in 2008 as a “high risk” to go back on the battlefield and kill Americans. The other five were designated “medium” risks.

    The release of the 10 detainees brings the population at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to 93 — the first time it’s dropped below 100 detainees since 2002, at the height of the fight in Afghanistan against al Qaeda and the Taliban.

    Defense Secretary Ashton Carter also said Thursday he’s “framed” for President Obama a plan to close the prison entirely and bring the remaining detainees to the U.S. He said he hopes Congress will approve the plan, but, in the meantime, he’ll keep looking for cases such as al-Shaykh and al-Ahdal.

    “While we work with Congress on the way forward, we will continue to transfer Guantanamo detainees to other countries when and as we have mitigated any security risk to the United States,” he said.

    But the release of high-risk detainees to Oman, from which they could relaunch terror careers in nearby Yemen, underscores the increasingly slim pickings Mr. Obama and Mr. Carter have as they press for shuttering the prison.

    Sen. Kelly Ayotte, New Hampshire Republican, said she fears the 10 will spend little time in Oman before traveling home to Yemen, where al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula operates and is determined to strike the American homeland.

    “I am particularly concerned that the Omani government has accepted the detainees for what they are calling a ‘temporary stay,’ which raises serious questions about whether they will even be detained in Oman, for how long and under what conditions,” Ms. Ayotte said. “The administration should be forthright with the American people regarding these concerns, and also about the detainees’ terrorist activities, associations and their actions at Gitmo.”

    Ibrahim al-Qosi, a bin Laden confidant released by the Obama administration in 2012, has returned to terrorism as a spokesman and recruiter for AQAP.

    About 30 percent of Guantanamo graduates have resumed, or are suspected of restarting, terrorist activity. The number will likely increase as intelligence agencies gather more information. The Obama administration points out that, if they do reengage, they are subject to being killed.

    For the sake of the Swedes, I hope not.

    We will have to see if Sweden will be able to do this, but if that's their decision we should support them. Still no word on why rich gulf states refuse to take them in.

    Yes, Obama doesn't care if they are the worst of the worst, dear. If he pays them, they will take them. And he isn't "in prison" for long.
