“Young people from all over the world—Syria, Afghanistan, Africa, [and] South America” are taking sniping lessons, the Allehanda said, and some of them are “interested and very talented,” the paper quoted course supervisor Birgit Höglin as saying.

The program is offered as part of the language course at the local upper secondary school, Höglin said, saying that the benefits of the program are “much more” than just teaching the invaders 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,” Höglin said.

This "sniper" course is being paid for by Sweden’s state-funded Migration Agency as an “integration” program into Swedish society. I mean what could possibly go wrong right?

You can't trust fear when it's not in your sniper school

You can see the fox's tail sticking out of that chicken costume but not only do they let them in the hen house, they teach them how kill the chickens also

"Swedish sniper school" kind of sounds like a gun range in the States.

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 is since the 1960s recognised as an Olympic discipline, and the Sollefteå Ski High School runs an international upper secondary school programme for elite competitors. This is where the refugees were invited to try rifle shooting, the only element of biathlon possible in the summer. It was done by the authorities as part of their work with local immigration. I hope this clarifies the circumstances surrounding this article.” - See more at: https://pamelageller.com/2016/01/sweden-state-funded-muslim-sniper-training.html/#sthash.ZHCPhN9x.dpuf

Actually, you can, and someone did.

People in Sweden hunt. To get a hunting license you have to take a basic gun safety class that includes target shooting. There is no way those classes would train you to be a sniper in any form or fashion.

Might as well teach them how to fly airplanes. Everybody knows that nothing bad can happen when possible terrorists are able to fly passenger planes.
