Peter van der Meulen Unsplash Sweden is under extreme threats from radical Islam and, to some degree, from neo-Nazi Nordic groups. The Muslim Brotherhood is active in Sweden, and they support ISIS, al-Qaeda, and other radical Islamic groups. They let these people pour into their country without proper vetting. Like the entire West, they acted as if they were all just seeking a better life. The terrorist threat to Sweden has been assessed as primarily stemming from violent Islamist or violent right-wing extremist ideology. This was reported by the National Center for Terrorist Threat Assessment (NCT) in its 2025 annual assessment. The terrorist threat level remains high, at level four on a five-level scale. The head of the Swedish Security Service made the announcement in January. This decision was based largely on the NCT’s annual assessment of the terrorist threat to Sweden 2025. Radical Islamism According to the Swedish Security Service, the greatest threat of terrorism in Sweden stems from Islamic extremism, specifically “violence-promoting Islamism, or so-called al-Qaeda-inspired groups.” Terrorist threats in Sweden have generally been motivated by perceived insults to Islam or by Sweden’s military and financial support for international peacekeeping and counterterrorism missions abroad. The Swedish Security Service assessed that, inside Sweden, Islamic radicals are more likely to support terrorism abroad via recruitment, finance, or travel facilitation than to plan domestic attacks, which remain rare.

NRM has enjoyed gains in popular support in recent years. For example, its “hard core” membership grew by one-third from 2015 to 2016. As of March 2017, support for the anti-immigrant Sweden Democrats party had doubled since the 2014 elections, according to public opinion polling. (Sources: Sun, Independent) Sweden, which has a population of under 10 million, has taken in many tens of thousands of refugees from Syria, Somalia, and Yemen in recent years, The Independent reports. The Swedish Security Service assesses that “several” people [radical Islamists] are known to have traveled from Sweden to conflict zones to engage in terrorist training or other unlawful acts of violence. [The Independent] It’s not Islamophobic to tell the truth. The truth is, you shouldn’t take in massive numbers of people who don’t share your values and who have no time to assimilate. Last time I was in Sweden, it was basically crime-free and full of lovely people. They imported problems. Stop pretending everyone who is Islamic is peaceful. It’s actually 1% of the population that committed 63% of violent crimes, at least in Sweden. https://t.co/TM85sHzRer pic.twitter.com/iOr51Ednu8 — Daniel Di Martino (@DanielDiMartino) May 24, 2026 The post 1% of Violent Crime in Sweden Is Committed by 63% of the People appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Most animals are meant to live outdoors. Their bodies are carefully designed to protect them from the elements and help them to thrive. Goats have strong hooves that help them climb rocks, hills, and other rough terrain. But sometimes even the most seasoned hiking goat might find himself in a bit of a pickle. A terrifying video filmed in Petra, Jordan, shows a goat on the edge of a cliff making a difficult decision. He’s high off the ground, but stuck, and there seems to be only one way out.   View this post on Instagram A post shared by @aaron.nz0 The Goat Was Very Brave and Went for a Dive Right Off The Cliff Even though the goat didn’t appear so certain about his choice, he knew it was the best decision to jump off the cliff. Two men attempted to coax the goat back toward them, but he had no interest. Instead, he quite literally took a leap of faith. He hit the ground like a gymnast sticking the landing and never looked back. The original post claimed the goat had been stuck on the side of the cliff for four days. We don’t know if that’s true, but he definitely didn’t want the men’s help to save him. “Nobody saves a goat on a cliff if anything the goat will save you fact,” someone commented. “They worried about an animal with natural skills in climbing,” another person agreed. A lot of people believe this goat went to the cliff for some peace and quiet because he just couldn’t get any time alone. “Wasn’t stuck he was trying to find a safe place away from these guys,” another person joked. We’re just glad this had a happy ending, from that distance it sure looked like cliff diving could have been the end of that goat. This story’s featured image can be found here
