http://www.newsweek.com/isis-members-europe-cant-get-jobs-when-they-return-home-629593
The first thing an employer will ask about a resume is any gaps between jobs. But they probably wouldn't suspect that an applicant for a certain role who seems to have been unemployed for a few years was busy fighting for the Islamic State militant group (ISIS).
Jihadis returning to their home countries in Europe are now finding out the hard way, and many cannot get a job as they try to reintegrate into western society.
Swedish daily newspaper Expressen interviewed former jihadis about life after ISIS and they discussed the challenges of finding work. As many as 150 have returned to the Scandinavian country to try and rebuild their lives.
“I just want to forget everything,” Walad Yousef, a 27-year-old returning fighter, told the newspaper. “I apply for a lot of jobs, but I can’t get any because my pictures are out there.”
Yousef had posted images of himself in Syria on Facebook, posing at a training camp with a Kalashnikov, and encouraging friends to join him. He returned to Sweden and said he had only gone to Syria to help civilians in the eastern city of Raqqa, where ISIS has beheaded several western hostages.
Another returning member said that life under ISIS was "not what I thought" while others said they had only traveled to help civilians affected by the Syrian war.
Employers fear that returning fighters may commit attacks or help others to commit attacks and do not wish to be associated with them, said another returnee who has changed his name to Yousef.
"You in the media have scared them. I do not know why they are afraid," said a jihadi from the southern city of Malmo of the fears that employees and civilians had of returning foreign fighters.
Another refused to speak to Expressen and give his real identity as he said he has "enough problems" finding employment in the country.
Others said they had no idea why their names were on leaked ISIS records. “That’s very strange. Anyone can say they’re me,” said an unnamed returnee. “I mean, it’s war. Maybe someone recommended me. I don't know."
Many live at home with their relatives or their friends as they cannot afford accommodation after returning and many have changed their names.
One of the jihadis named in the Expressen investigation is Bherlin Dequilla Gildo, a 39-year-old from Malmo, a jihadi who posed with the corpse of a Syrian regime soldier. A man answered at his address but said no one was there with that name. But he is back in Sweden, the newspaper says. One of Gildo's associates who fought alongside him said "he can do anything. Even I am afraid of him."
Sweden is one the best countries for a foreign fighter to return if they want to reintegrate. It is trialling a rehabilitation programme that gives Swedish extremists housing, employment, education and financial support.
Anna Sjöstrand, the municipal coordinator against violent extremism in the city of Lund, said in October 2016 that it is much cheaper to reintegrate someone than to abandon them.
It is unclear if the trial will be rolled out nationwide or how former jihadis are to be reintegrated into the job market when they face such an obvious stigma after being ISIS members.
The country suffered only its second radical Islamist attack in April when an Uzbek national plowed a truck into civilians on a busy shopping street in central Stockholm. The attack left five people dead. Authorities arrested the driver and said he had sympathies with ISIS. ISIS did not claim the attack, but it generally does not take responsibility for attackers who are captured alive.
Returning fighters are a problem across the West—security services in Europe and the U.S. are concerned that their nationals will return home to carry out attacks as ISIS's caliphate continues to crumble in Iraq and Syria.
More than half of Britain's 800 foreign fighters have returned home. For the U.S., only a few have returned home with a much lower travel rate to Syria and Iraq. Former FBI Director James Comey said in 2016 that just 250 Americans had attempted to go or have gone to Syria. Almost 7,000 have traveled to Iraq and Syria as a whole from the West.

I thought this was a joke,them looking for WORK I mean.....
It is a problem.
I think European countries, ourselves included, should give returnees a resettlement grant to help them back on their feet. They'll need a house, car, soft furnishings and enough left to tide them over while they look for work. About a million each should do it. I think I might email the shadow Home Secretary with this suggestion.

You realize they are fighting amongst themselves? And that if they had to kill unbelievers surely they'd find plenty in Europe?
ah no, they are not fighting amongst themselves , although they are very capable of doing that as well.
They are fighting and murdering and oppressing people with different beliefs and from differing sects and different religions and no religion to themselves .
That is the problem right there.

Sweden is a massive holiday camp for them - they can get all the housing, benefits, hand outs, and free access to all the infidel women they want.
If they wish to do so, and do not follow our good advice we are powerless to stop their misery , their weakness, and death.
The important thing is not to let them into any European country, until they are prepared to do as they are told.
They don't have to of course, we will not be in the least offended .

And you were sleeping the last 3 years? Not to let them into any European coutry How about I tell you we have invited them and you are paying for their stay?
Thanks detraveller, I can't remember inviting anyone in , it's ok I try not to pay tax also so perhaps it's someone else your thinking off , maybe yourself ?
Just as an aside , why anyone living in Britain or any European country should think it is s good idea to pay tax is beyond me.
Taxation is becoming a much greater force for evil than good .
It is your tax money that is allowing these murderers to return to Europe.
It is your duty to pay as little tax as possible, starve the European governments of money.
Keep it in your own pocket , get busy making yourself invisible .

Because you don't derail the plan of luring 80-90 % of the middle east men of fighting age over to Europe so the west can take over by letting them go back over there and kill our soldiers..

On the organ register there should be a section saying donate all my organs as long it does not go to a Retard State fighter or any of their family.
Only in the UK could people argue that these people have the same right to organ transplants as charity workers and food bank volunteers.

I am glad I no longer consider myself British .
I would wish it on no one to be British.

Is it possible to be more helpless than someone British, seeing their country changed and become more foreign to him than Africa with all its deserts ? not very easily.
I feel how little it concerns me, everything that is called England .
If possible, legally of course, pay no tax or as little as possible.
It is immoral and illegal for any government to claim tax and at the same time have open borders
who could deny that ?

So I only do just what I find I cannot avoid doing, that is what I do with tax and work, I only pretend to work industrially.

If you have committed untold atrocities is being a Retard State fighter/supporter enough to absolve you of all responsibility of human rights violations.
They're still pursuing Nazis and we're talking about rehab and reintegration for the Retards.

We pursued the Nazi war criminals to the ends of the earth.In hindsight we should have forgiven them and paid them to live amongst us.
You load of knuckle draggers haven't a clue. Give 'em a nice education, go to uni, become doctors. That will divert them from terrorist activities. It's only when they are poor and unemployed that they turn to terror activities. This is the fault of whities.

The problem with you, Case, is you have no empathy what so ever by this 'put upon' victimised group (their own words in interviews). Case, if only you could see it is cultural. It is part of their way. I do wish you would catch up.
They have forfeited their rights to be trusted and employed by anyone,I would take their passports off them but if they have to return they should be required to be self empoyed and work for themselves to establish credibility.

Any serious joy being observed amongst your Muslim neighbours and friends with the news that Retard State has(according to C4 news)been defeated?When there is a United Ireland there will be much jubilation throughout areas of Britain.So why no obvious joy that vast areas of Muslim lands have been liberated.The Iraqis I saw on C4 news certainly seemed happy judged by their singing and dancing, much in the style of happy people everywhere.
Hopefully all the vermin in Iraq was exterminated at least that is one area it wont be coming back from ..
If so Retard State fighters may be allowing themselves to be labelled as racists which would not help their employment prospects on their return.
ah but you see it is the M word people - they are allowed - of course it is not a religion - it is something completely different - but the mugs will allow this and much more -
I have no desire to use the N word.Is it's use ever acceptable?
The K word is pejorative.Can anybody say otherwise?
But is it therefore racist?
The country I hear is already full of racists.Coming down with them.

You have to pretend you can't see what's coming moisok, just keep bending lad. These poor youngsters just want to live back among the enemy, and we'll have to accept them doing so.
Will someone please condemn those who are guilty of offensive and racist language.Total silence.
Anne Marie Morris MP was exposed today for using the N word and received negative publicity.

But she is a silly billy - don't see why it should destroy a career.
Just thinking about that dinner lady who was suspended by here Head of school.
You know, it is the usual old argument about how a group like mine can call ourself 'princesses and cigarettes ' but anyone else outside our circle doing it is homophobic/transphobic etc.

The contrarians must be writing job references for the returned Retard State fighters tonight.
Dear Mr Employer, please employ this individual who has committed many atrocities and human rights abuses against those who he considers to be Kafir.It is clear that nobody cares much for the Kafir anyway.Nobody will defend them.(that seems clear)Besides Mr Employer if you don't give him the job he will do you for racial discrimination and he will be represented by Kafir contrarians.

Is the use of the pejorative term Kafir racist?
I would refer you to ummah.com - you will be tied up in knots after going through that lot
it depends who is saying it
if it is a muslim saying then it is ok as it hides under the label of religion
they are well protected.
If you were a south african saying it then...............
Or even you saying it............. and so on
What I am saying is anything islamic is open to a thousand interpretations
or that is what you will be told
it is how the main emphasis of the good book and the thurst of islam is protected from the kaffur
it is allah's will
hope this helps

Racist terms are pejorative.
But you ask are pejorative terms racist then yes if the term is directed at race.

The word is widely misappropriated, BIG CAT. It means non believer, so they shouldn't use it against practicing Christians, for example, but they do. I really am a kuffar and dgaf what they think about that.
kaffur is a coverall word for unbelievers but the devil is in the detail
go read the book and you will see how a good muslim should regard and treat kuffur
it is quite enlightening
much more entertaining is the statements about women

LONDON (AP) — A British man who joined a pro-Russian militia in Ukraine has been jailed for terrorism offenses, in the first U.K. prosecution over the conflict.
A judge on Friday sentenced Benjamin Stimson to five years and four months in prison.
Stimson went to Ukraine in 2015, later posting a picture of himself with an assault rifle on Facebook.
He was arrested on his return and admitted assisting others in committing acts of terrorism.
Prosecution lawyer Barnaby Jamieson said Stimson admitted “serving as an armed militiaman in an irregular force opposing the Ukrainian army,” although Judge David Stockdale said Stimson had not actually done any fighting.
Northwest England counterterrorism police chief Russ Jackson said he hoped the conviction “will send a message to all those who are even considering joining conflicts.”

@Sonko This reminds me of the incident where we accused Russia of using EU waters for transporting their jet fuel. Ironically at the same time, we were 'rescuing' refugees around the italian coast and had daily traffic, which of course the radars only picked when someone's boat had trouble. Of course there are different rules for different people. How much money and control do we obtain through the wars in the middle east? And how much through wars around russia? The difference should tell you why we treat them differently.
