Sweden funds sniper training for Muslim ‘refugees’
By Carol Brown

If anyone had any doubt that Sweden has lost its collective mind, doubt no more.  If this bit of news doesn’t force you to face reality, then I give up!  Sweden is offering sniper training for their new little friends from Islamic lands.  And no, I’m not kidding.  And this isn’t political satire.  The Swedish government is paying for Muslim invaders to learn how to shoot rifles.

Translation: Fired up (or charged up) for shooting

The New Observer reports:

    The Swedish state is funding a “sniper” training course for recently-arrived Third World “refugees” as part of their “integration program”—despite the ever-growing refugee-terrorist attacks across Europe. (snip)

    … the “sniping course” began on a “small scale in the Fall…“interest exploded” among the nonwhite invaders to take the course.

Interest “exploded,” did it?  Well, who would have thought?

When journalists from a Swedish newspaper visited the shooting range, they observed dozens of “immigrant youths” from Syria, Afghanistan, Africa, and South America honing their shooting skills, as the course supervisor described some as “very talented.”

Very talented!  Well, who are we to stand in the way of such bless-ed gifts?  Fire away, folks.

Apparently, this certifiably insane program is part of a language course in upper secondary school.  The supervisor of the course said there are many benefits beyond just teaching the kids how to use sniping rifles: “Here they talk Swedish in other social contexts, meet new people, and hang out. It is especially good for their vocabulary.”

A talented new arrival hanging out with his rifle.

Only in 21st-century Sweden could a leap be made from a “language course” to sniper training.  And it certainly is good to know there are other benefits beyond just learning how to shoot.  Whew.  Then it’s all worth it, isn’t it?

Recently arrived "migrant" hones his "language" skills.

How do you say “bam, bam, bam, bam, bam” in Swedish?

For the sake of accuracy, the original source in Swedish does not say sniper training, it says biathlon training which does not translate well to sniper skills. This is more of Swedish cultural immersion.  It was also an article from 2013, not current.

Also, the Swedish paper this came from issued an additional story on this because of the incorrect translation and misrepresentation of what this was.

In English: Because of the recentchanges international citations of the 2013 Allehanda article "Loaded for sniping," In as News Editor Feel that a few clarifications are in order. Several websites Refers to the immigration project in Sollefteå as "sniper training". This is not a correct description. The word sniper training implies military combat education Which is something completely different from this. Although the refugees in the pictures can be seen holding what looks like sniper rifles, it is in fact biathlon sports equipment. Biathlon ice since the 1960s Recognised As an Olympic discipline, and the Sollefteå Ski High School runs an international upper secondary school program for Elite Competitors. This is where the refugees were invited to try rifle shooting, the only elements of biathlon possible in the summer. It was donated by the Authorities as Part of Their Work with local immigration. I hope this clarifies the Circumstances surrounding this article.
