Swedish politician: IS-terrorists are "victims"

Muslims traveling from Sweden to the Middle East to commit mass murder 
and rape in the Islamic state, are "victims of violence", says the new 
Moderate leader Anna Kinberg Batra, to the newspaper Expressen.

It's
in an interview during the international summit in Davos as Kinberg 
Batra is asked how she wants to meet the Swedes growing concern for acts
of terrorism committed by returning IS-terrorists.

- The 
important thing is that there must be fewer who can become victims of 
violence. To be enlisted as a warrior to exercise deadly force is 
actually being victims of violence and to contribute to the spread in 
the world, says the M-top to Expressen.

The 44-year-old 
politician emphasizes that the most important thing now is that measures
are designed to combat that terrorist travel, not "make it difficult 
for openness". She emphasizes that we do not want a society where one 
does not let "adults go on holiday."

Anna Kinberg Batra's words has faced fierce criticism on social media.

"No
stifling conservatism now. Liberalism is rewarding terrorists with tax 
money and repeat the word transparency as often as possible", writes 
researcher Tino Sanandaji in a post on Twitter.

In several EU 
countries, like Britain and Denmark, they are discussing how to stop the
terror-tourists, by withdrawing their nationality or prosecute them for
treason. In Sweden however, politicians have opted for a softer line. 
The government's so-called extremism coordinator, former S-leader Mona 
Sahlin, for example, wants that returning terrorists should be given taxpayer-founded jobs as a way to break their "alienation".
