Integration can be hard to tell apart from disintegration sometimes.
Osama Krayem carried the explosives for the Brussels terrorist attack. But before all that, as Tundra Tabloids highlights, he was a model for successful integration.
Several Aftonbladet talked to say that Osama Krayem’s father was keen that the children would be well integrated into Swedish society. In fact, Osama, eleven years old, with his father and brother took part in a documentary on sport as a means precisely for integration.
The movie, “Without borders – a film about the sport and integration”, made by freelance journalist Paul Jackson for the sports club IFK Malmö, and appeared on People’s cinema in Malmö in 2005.
Christer Girke, then the club’s marketing manager, led the project of integration.
"We wanted to show the importance of integration and that there needs to be more difficult than to start talking with each other, he says.
Without borders seems to be the whole problem here.
Let's assume that Osama's father was even sincere about this. Friends recall him always being "religious". But let's assume that he did try to integrate his family. Osama played soccer. He got a job in the furniture business. And then he went Jihadi anyway.
That's just the reality of it.
Even when first generation immigrants attempt to integrate, too much of the Islamic infrastructure is there from mosques to websites. It takes one slip and you've got a fresh terror recruit.
Osama wasn't oppressed. He was the poster boy for integration. He wasn't jobless. He had a job.
But he also had something else. He had Islam.
