:00:00. > :00:18.Sweden is one of the most peaceful countries in the world. A home to
:00:19. > :00:27.hundreds of thousands seeking refuge. But this country is at a
:00:28. > :00:35.critical turning point. Maybe people here is not so happy to see cameras.
:00:36. > :00:41.More than 300 people have left Sweden to join so-called Islamic
:00:42. > :00:47.State and other jihadi groups. Per capita, that is one of the highest
:00:48. > :00:51.figures in Europe. Just described to me what Raqq was like. After my
:00:52. > :00:56.husband died, that is when I saw that I was not from that religion.
:00:57. > :01:00.Vulnerable young people targeted by radicals. I like this country, I
:01:01. > :01:08.like many of these people here in the best thing for them, what I
:01:09. > :01:12.think, is Allah's laws. Our Sweden's authorities doing enough to stop the
:01:13. > :01:28.spread of radical Islam? Can you stop filming?
:01:29. > :01:40.Gothenberg is one of Sweden's most diverse cities. It should be a model
:01:41. > :01:49.for integration. But this port city is one of Europe's biggest exporters
:01:50. > :01:54.of militants to Syria and Iraqi. We are in a secret location. I'm about
:01:55. > :02:05.to meet a young woman who says she has just returned from Syria. Hello.
:02:06. > :02:10.Hi. Good to see you. How are you? I'm good. She travelled there with
:02:11. > :02:15.her husband, who died fighting for so-called Islamic State. Because she
:02:16. > :02:20.is vulnerable, we have agreed to hide her identity. Just described to
:02:21. > :02:24.me what Raqqa was like. In the beginning, I thought it was really
:02:25. > :02:28.good and I was very happy to be there. But after my husband died, I
:02:29. > :02:34.started to see things that were not from the religion. Tell me what was
:02:35. > :02:39.wrong. When they burned the Jordanian pilot, I asked them why
:02:40. > :02:43.they burned up a human being. Is that right in Islam? What I know is
:02:44. > :02:48.that you are not allowed to burn anyone. Were you talking to other
:02:49. > :02:51.women about this as well? The other people you were meeting? No. You
:02:52. > :02:59.cannot talk to other people about these things because if they tell on
:03:00. > :03:02.you, they will kill you. What do you think about when you hear about
:03:03. > :03:09.other young people who go from places like Sweden to join ISIS in
:03:10. > :03:14.Syria or I right? They have no knowledge, that they are not clear
:03:15. > :03:23.in the brain. They should read because they will change their mind
:03:24. > :03:34.when they go there. So what is going wrong here? We are driving to the
:03:35. > :03:39.north-eastern suburb of Angered, a community of 50,000 people on the
:03:40. > :03:47.outskirts of Gothenberg. Many of these kids who travel to places like
:03:48. > :03:52.Syria and Iraq come to places like this, immigrant neighbourhoods on
:03:53. > :03:56.the fringes of Sweden's towns and cities. Sweden's massive housing
:03:57. > :03:59.shortage and long waits for rent-controlled apartment 's mean
:04:00. > :04:08.that many new arrivals and a peer and stay here. -- end up here. 11%
:04:09. > :04:11.unemployment levels are higher than average and more than 65% of young
:04:12. > :04:27.people drop out of school. (RAPS IN SWEDISH). Three years ago,
:04:28. > :04:34.this video by local rap artist caused uproar in Sweden.
:04:35. > :04:38.The use of graphic imagery was condemned by politicians who set
:04:39. > :04:56.political violence solves nothing. The message behind that particular
:04:57. > :05:03.music video is the prostration that alienation can parade. Other people
:05:04. > :05:14.in our society can feel they are not part of Swedish society. Havel Nazar
:05:15. > :05:19.and Kawan Faraj were both in this video. They worked on this video
:05:20. > :05:25.helping to introduce us to people in Angered. You are inciting violence
:05:26. > :05:29.and hatred. It is easy to label it as violence when it is fiction. But
:05:30. > :05:35.there are people in that video who have ducked to over their mouths.
:05:36. > :05:39.Because they are talking a lot of (BLEEP) so they need to have it on
:05:40. > :05:43.their mouth. They say in this area, they are going to do this and that
:05:44. > :05:48.for you and after we vote for them, they do nothing. The police cannot
:05:49. > :05:51.come here in these areas every time and be safe. What do you mean by
:05:52. > :05:59.that? They cannot come to these areas. Distrust is too big. Police
:06:00. > :06:11.in Angered come under regular attack. These pictures were taken
:06:12. > :06:16.two weeks ago. This area is classed as vulnerable with high rates of
:06:17. > :06:25.gang crime, violence and drug offences. This guy is the man. The
:06:26. > :06:28.man of Angered. He is a good man. Wolf Bostrum is Sweden's only
:06:29. > :06:34.integration officer. By getting to know people who are living here, he
:06:35. > :06:42.is trying to build trust and piste. -- and peace. What do you up
:06:43. > :06:48.against. We have lost more than 50% of the policemen working in uniform.
:06:49. > :06:53.You consider yourself. How many policemen can you see in your time
:06:54. > :07:01.here? Have you seen any? No. Not one. Why isn't there any visible
:07:02. > :07:06.police officers? What you are seeing is the police have let these people
:07:07. > :07:14.down and the community down. -- what you are seeing. Yes. Last November,
:07:15. > :07:19.the country's terror alert was raised to four, the first time in
:07:20. > :07:31.Sweden's history. Indicating a major security threat. Why have you
:07:32. > :07:36.brought us here? This little Egyptian communities, which are
:07:37. > :07:47.Copts, and if you know what has happened during the past years,
:07:48. > :07:51.especially when Mursi was the president of Egypt, more than 200
:07:52. > :08:00.churches were burned down during his one year. So the Christian Copts in
:08:01. > :08:07.Egypt, they had problems. They bring their stories with them. Earlier
:08:08. > :08:12.this year, police got a warning that this Coptic Christian Church was at
:08:13. > :08:19.risk of an imminent attack. They came to visit me at home and just to
:08:20. > :08:28.inform me that this church is about to be attacked by Al-Qaeda. Such
:08:29. > :08:32.problems. This is alarming that in Sweden this would be happening. What
:08:33. > :08:39.is happening to the society? It is Islam and we should take it
:08:40. > :08:47.seriously. Tell them about that story that happened to you in Malmo.
:08:48. > :08:52.A guy got up into the train and there he came beside me and he said,
:08:53. > :08:58.in Arabic, which I can understand, is that we will slay you, we will
:08:59. > :09:04.head you. Then I looked to him and said, OK, due mean you will kill me
:09:05. > :09:08.and kill others? He said yes, we will do it. Did you think you would
:09:09. > :09:22.ever experienced something like this in Sweden. In Sweden? In Sweden,
:09:23. > :09:27.exactly not. Karwan al-Fiksah has had a call. Somebody wants to talk
:09:28. > :09:31.to us about how IS is recruiting in Angered. People are not so happy to
:09:32. > :09:44.see cameras. It is vulnerable young people that
:09:45. > :09:52.the extremists target. We need to stop filming here. And wait for him.
:09:53. > :09:56.We have just met our contact. We've been asked not to film with him
:09:57. > :10:02.until he puts on his disguise. How was your day, what did you do today?
:10:03. > :10:12.It was a good day. I was at work. He is understandably frightened so we
:10:13. > :10:18.had to a safe location. -- we had. Why have you decided to talk to us?
:10:19. > :10:25.I wanted people to know about this manipulation. They tried to sweet
:10:26. > :10:30.talk us into joining ISIS, or IS as it is called. People in our
:10:31. > :10:34.surroundings, people we know. What were they saying to you? Like a Big
:10:35. > :10:38.Brother will say to you, like a father will say to you, stop doing
:10:39. > :10:46.drugs and stop hitting people, come with us instead, fight for God. But
:10:47. > :10:52.the Allah. Describe this guy. What was he like? Religious? He was a
:10:53. > :10:56.criminal and has done a lot of bad stuff like me and now he has come to
:10:57. > :11:00.me telling me you have to change. You wanted to reject this and say
:11:01. > :11:04.no, I don't want to do this? At the beginning, I wanted to do it. I
:11:05. > :11:09.wasn't scared. I was more eager to go and help my Muslim brothers. When
:11:10. > :11:15.you say down now, you mean Syria and Iraq. Yes but after I saw some
:11:16. > :11:23.videos on many things, it yes, I was very scared. We are back in the
:11:24. > :11:30.centre of Gothenburg. It is by engaging with different faith groups
:11:31. > :11:33.that Sweden's integration officer Ulf Bostrom hopes to stop things
:11:34. > :11:43.before they happen. Where are we going? We going to an area called...
:11:44. > :11:51.What we know about this place? It is one of the biggest mosques. And when
:11:52. > :11:55.you take a small mosque you don't have many visitors to the small
:11:56. > :12:00.mosque. When you have a very big mosque, you have many visitors. And
:12:01. > :12:10.with many visitors, means that you can't know everyone.
:12:11. > :12:19.Many of the people who have gone to Syria and Iraq have a connection
:12:20. > :12:25.here. Reports in the Swedish media has claimed that a mosque has ties
:12:26. > :12:40.to various isn't and terrorist organisations. -- Islamist.
:12:41. > :12:57.We are just getting permission to film around here now. And they were
:12:58. > :13:06.closed. Can we stop filming? Yeah, sure. So nobody from the mosque will
:13:07. > :13:15.talk to us but we know the spiritual leader of all sure Barb was invited
:13:16. > :13:28.here. It is where IS Mac fighter preached. This is the mosque. It's a
:13:29. > :13:38.bit tense here. Yeah, you could say it is a little bit tense. Isn't it
:13:39. > :13:47.strange. This is a Sweden? According to people that are here, they have
:13:48. > :13:54.helped at the media, newspapers, television, have been giving the
:13:55. > :14:10.wrong view about people going to the mosque and they say if we are media,
:14:11. > :14:13.media will twist it. Back in Angered, this man is shot down for
:14:14. > :14:30.inciting extremism. -- shut down. That incident happened here. At
:14:31. > :14:37.Angered's largest mosque. We know that we have many challenges here in
:14:38. > :14:46.this district so we have to achieve our goals by doing, by working,...
:14:47. > :14:50.That is not what these young people are saying in the committee. They
:14:51. > :14:56.are saying you should go and wage Jihad and it practice extreme forms
:14:57. > :15:01.of Sharia law and go to Syria and Iraq and more than 100 ready have.
:15:02. > :15:10.It is a crisis but it is not just our response ability. We put a lot
:15:11. > :15:16.of response ability to the mosques. The police have to do their work
:15:17. > :15:22.first. What about people coming back from Iraq? None of them who have
:15:23. > :15:30.come back, 311, have we arrested. And we haven't brought anyone to
:15:31. > :15:39.court. Why is that? Are terrorist law is not functioning well enough.
:15:40. > :15:46.It was only in April this year that Swedish law was changed, making it
:15:47. > :15:51.illegal to travel abroad, in tending to commit acts of terrorism. We are
:15:52. > :15:55.waiting for a young man to arrive. We have been told he has been
:15:56. > :16:04.radicalised and has some hardline views he was to talk to us about.
:16:05. > :16:11.Hello. For his safety, we have agreed to protect his identity.
:16:12. > :16:16.First of all, I haven't pledged allegiance to any group. These are
:16:17. > :16:20.my Muslim beliefs. I believe all of the laws should prevail above all
:16:21. > :16:24.other laws but of course, I have some friends who are extreme in
:16:25. > :16:31.their views. Some have been to the wars in Iraq and Syria. Sweden is a
:16:32. > :16:35.democracy. So you saying that you want to bring your laws into this
:16:36. > :16:40.country is going against the laws of this country. This is nothing bad
:16:41. > :16:45.for them. Of course I want to share it with others. I want it. It's not
:16:46. > :16:49.that I want to bomb someone here or there, I don't think like that at
:16:50. > :16:53.other people may think like that. I am confused what you are trying to
:16:54. > :16:58.say. I like this country. I love many of these people here. I want
:16:59. > :17:12.the best for them and the best thing for them, what I think is, Allah's
:17:13. > :17:15.laws. I have come away from that interview feeling frightened.
:17:16. > :17:18.Frightened for this young man because he holds such extreme views
:17:19. > :17:21.and because I don't think you understand what he's getting himself
:17:22. > :17:26.into and frightened for this country because I don't think they're fully
:17:27. > :17:46.prepared for what is happening in their towns and cities. I catch up
:17:47. > :17:48.with the musician I met earlier. We're going to my mother 's house
:17:49. > :18:03.where I grew up. He fled in Iraq and arrived in
:18:04. > :18:07.Sweden with her four sons stop -- chief. What he thinks so many people
:18:08. > :18:09.from your immunity have left here and travelled to Syria and Iraq for
:18:10. > :18:34.jihad? Howdy you feel when you hear young
:18:35. > :19:08.people say they don't fill Swedish? Your mum has a point. She fled a
:19:09. > :19:14.war, I didn't. You can't have a part of the population feeling they are
:19:15. > :19:20.shut out. It stressful for the dominant part of society, feeling
:19:21. > :19:28.they have to shut people out. We have two come together and, of
:19:29. > :19:32.course, it takes two to tango. With so many youngsters are turning their
:19:33. > :19:38.backs on Sweden. People are asking what has gone wrong? Swedish
:19:39. > :19:47.television, Ulf Bostrom is going to be debating his boss denied. How are
:19:48. > :19:52.you feeling? Good, a little bit tense. He wants to speak out against
:19:53. > :19:54.what he sees as the failings of police. What are you going to do?
:19:55. > :20:49.Tell the truth. Hello, I am from the BBC, can we
:20:50. > :20:53.have worked? Superiors in the police Department have left the people in
:20:54. > :21:01.Gothenburg in doubt if there is no law and order and security. What you
:21:02. > :21:06.think? Of course there is law and order but they must be work in these
:21:07. > :21:10.areas. We have met people who are afraid. They have spoken to us with
:21:11. > :21:15.their faces covered in disguise because they say there is almost
:21:16. > :21:18.their own policing that is going on by the radicals in these
:21:19. > :21:33.communities. Are you aware of that? Yes. We have problems with parallel
:21:34. > :21:42.society. How did that go Ulf? Had you explain 28 years in 20 seconds?
:21:43. > :21:47.You think you are being naive? We are human, we need to get the right
:21:48. > :21:56.knowledge. We have to be honest and show respect. And we have to be
:21:57. > :22:02.patient doing that. And those people need to show some respect to Swedish
:22:03. > :22:05.society? Of course. It is only a minority that are making problems.
:22:06. > :22:19.But that minority is growing. Sweden is now at a critical turning
:22:20. > :22:30.point in the fight against Islamic State. It could have global
:22:31. > :23:03.consequences. We have a weekend of
:23:04. > :23:05.reasonably quiet weather Before we get to that
:23:06. > :23:09.forecast, something much more dramatic and dangerous
:23:10. > :23:12.and that is Hurricane Matthew.
