After a newspaper exposed a member of the Swedish government’s immigration board as a terrorist sympathizer, the board decided she should continue in her official capacity.

A spokesman for the Swedish Migration Board said Samiyah Warsame was entitled to freedom of expression and that this was her opinion.

“That’s our answer right now,” said the spokesman, who was quoted in the online news outlet Fria Tider.

The board is the official agency responsible for receiving and placing asylum seekers in Sweden.

Warsame, an officer on the board, showed her support for Islamist terrorists by clicking “Like” on images that represent the Islamic State and other terrorist groups on Facebook as well as on a tribute to convicted terrorist Omar Abdel-Rahman, known as the “Blind Sheikh.” Abdel-Rahman is currently serving a life-sentence for his role in the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993. Warsame also “liked” a tribute written about Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, the founder of Hamas.

The Swedish newspaper, Svenska Dagbladet, also revealed Warsame disseminated quotes from other Islamist terrorists, including Emir Khattab, the Chechen terrorist mastermind who Russian authorities say was behind a rash of terrorist attacks on residential buildings in Russia in September 1999. Those attacks killed 293 people and injured more than a thousand.

After the expose, Warsame accused the journalist who wrote the story of being “Islamophobic” and of spreading "baseless accusations that deliberately increase hatred of Islam and widespread Islamophobia.”

She refused to reply to inquiries as to why she “liked” the terrorists and other terror images.
