ISIS Gets Serious, Threatens to Flood Europe with 500,000 Immigrants

history repeats itself
I’m not completely sure how that would be different from the current situation, but at least the terror group has figured out how to step up its game.
Islamic State (Isis) has threatened to flood Europe with half a million migrants from Libya in a “psychological” attack against the West, it was claimed today.
Transcripts of telephone intercepts published in Italy claim to provide evidence that Isis is threatening to send 500,000 migrants simultaneously out to sea in hundreds of boats in a “psychological weapon” against Europe if there is military intervention against them in Libya.
Many would be at risk of drowning with rescue services unable to cope. But authorities fear that if numbers on this scale arrived, European cities could witness riots.
And a whole lot of “lone wolf” attacks. But maybe the Eurocrats can figure out how to integrate 500,000 invaders. First find them all jobs. And tell them about the importance of European values.
Then again net immigration to the UK alone is at around a quarter of a million so ISIS would need to step up to 5 million and it would probably just end up getting funding for promoting multiculturalism.
More than 170,000 migrants arrived in Italy by boat last year. Since last Friday almost 4000 have been rescued.
And who is going to rescue Italy from them?
Islamic State militants are planning a takeover of Libya as a “gateway” to wage war across the whole of southern Europe, letters written by the group’s supporters have revealed.
The jihadists hope to flood the north African state with militiamen from Syria and Iraq, who will then sail across the Mediterranean posing as migrants on people trafficking vessels, according to plans seen by Quilliam, the British anti-extremist group.
The fighters would then run amok in southern European cities and also try to attack maritime shipping.
The document is written by an Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) propagandist who is believed to be an important online recruiter for the terror in Libya, where security has collapsed in the wake of the revolution that unseated Colonel Gaddafi in 2011.
Italy’s interior ministry estimates that at least 200,000 refugees and immigrants are poised to make the crossing from Libya to Sicily or the tiny island of Lampedusa, Italy’s southernmost territory.
The Arab Spring will be coming to Europe soon at this rate.
