[Breitbart] Swedish-Norwegian "Islamophobia
...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do...
" expert turned Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
jihadist Michael Skråmos has been locked away
Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up!
by Kurdish forces in Syria, with sources claiming Norway wants to prosecute the bad boy.

The 33-year-old, born in Sweden to Norwegian parents, was captured this week in the village of Baghouz in one of the very few remaining areas under any form of Islamic State control, Swedish newspaper Expressen reports.

Skråmo had been one of the hundreds of Islamic State bully boyz still fighting Kurdish forces and attempting to defend the village. He was also not the only foreign fighter, with most of the last surviving holdouts being foreigners.

Though the Swedish citizen had told relatives that he would rather die than surrender, he was allegedly captured by the Kurds after surrendering to them following the previous capture of his seven children.
"I vuss chuss yoking!"
Swedish YPG soldier Jesper Söder described the capture of the infamous jihadist, saying, "He was arrested with a cluster of people. I think he was found in a cluster of people in a tunnel where he had dug himself in."

Söder added that around 50 Islamic State members were arrested at once, including women and kiddies.

Magnus Ranstorp, terrorist researcher at the Swedish National Defense College, commented on the arrest and his potential prosecution by the Norwegian government, explaining: "In Norway, the average penalty for participation and co-operation with IS is approximately seven years."

He also added that there was a possibility of Skråmo being handed over to the United States, where he could face a much more substantial sentence of up to 30 years for fighting for the disintegrating caliphate.

Ranstorp suggested that while Skråmo had been well-known in Sweden, calling for Islamic State supporters to commit attacks on Swedish soil in propaganda videos, he was likely not involved in planning terror attacks personally.

"He has not been an international propagandist; that is, someone who appears to speak in English or other languages in his videos. So he is big in Swedish context but he is small potatoes in the Islamic State," Ranstorp said.
