The active jihadists were so close was a wakeup call for many teachers, social workers and teachers, reasons Jonas Hult, who heads the municipal work against violent extremism.
– Yes, I think so. “Oh, he came from my neighborhood, from my class.” Things like that. It has made the threat more tangible.
A power awakening is that the quality – not the number – tips that reached the safety and security coordinator has increased in recent weeks. It’s just such a development as Jonas Hult called already for a couple of months ago.
– Previously tips more sweeping and difficult to move on. Could just be a rumor and then it is of course difficult to assess credibility. Now it’s about designated individuals, says Jonas Hult.
Malmö’s role is to protect young people from all forms of extremism, not replace either the police or the security police.
and through its extensive contacts with almost all young people in the city, the municipality has an unprecedented opportunity to keep informed about the signs of violent extremism, whether it’s about right-wing extremism, jihadism or something else.
– the contact surfaces are our great asset. At the same time, one must remember that the first thing that happens when these young men begin radicalized, is that they isolate themselves and cut contacts, especially with all that government units, says Jonas Hult.
the image he has radicalization and “iS-solicitation” in Malmö consistent the findings of recent research: those at risk of radicalization are solo players, rather than active members in any of the city Muslim congregations.
– the background is more crime and gang affiliation. It is their common denominator, says Jonas Hult.
Today at 14.30 is the municipality and the police a joint press conference on the work against radicalization in Malmö. Sydsvenskan monitors.
