http://www.thefederalistpapers.org/world/immigrants-or-invaders-thousands-of-muslims-come-to-europeISIS has created a crisis in the Middle East. Their violence and brutality have uprooted whole populations of people from their homes.
Those who haven’t been killed on conscripted into ISIS have fled the Middle East for Europe. Thousands have arrived in European countries so far with no signs of things slowing down.
But, are all these people refugees? Or, are there jihadists among them, heading for a terror campaign in Europe and the U.S.?
That is a question European governments, and soon the U.S. government, will have to grapple with.
For instance, Breitbart reports a problem the Italians are having with these new immigrants:
More than 40,000 migrants who arrived in Italy this year have refused to be identified. Italian police say many choose to remain unknown hoping to move on to other EU member states.
Of the 122,000 migrants who have arrived in Italy so far this year, figures released by the Servizio di Polizia Scientifica (SPS) show only about 81,000 have agreed to be identified. Italy’s ANSA news agency reports that those refusing to undergo identification processes are mainly Eritreans, Somalis and Syrians according to SPS director Daniela Stradiotto. She explained:
“It’s technically impossible to force them to undergo photo and fingerprint identification.”
Identification is an important issue because of EU rules governing asylum applications. The ‘Dublin Convention‘ requires asylum-seeking migrants to identify themselves before applications can be processed.
Although certain aspects of the rule were suspended for Syrians in both Germany and the Czech Republic recently, the Convention demands applications are made in the first EU country migrants reach and that they remain in that country while being processed. As the migrant crisis grows that processing may take over a year to complete.
Rather than keeping to the rules, the Italian figures appear to show that migrants are instead electing to remain unidentified, hoping to move on to other EU member states where they perceive their future will be better.
Something doesn’t smell right here. Why would so many people, fleeing for their lives to a safe haven, be uncooperative with their hosts if they hope to live there?
Some may say it is a cultural thing – Islamic mistrust of strangers.
But, in reality, it could be something far worse. Among these refugees could be hundreds, maybe even thousands of jihadist fighters and ISIS terrorists blending in with European society until they are ready to strike.
There have already been problems along this line according to Breitbart:
The importance of identification was reinforced this week with the news from Norway. As reported by Breitbart London, confirming the identity of one of the Kenyan shopping mall gunmen took two years because of false information given when he first entered Norway as a Somali migrant in 1999.
So, we do see this kind of stealth infiltration by the radical jihadists in Europe already. Does anyone think this problem will suddenly disappear given the thousands more refugees who are coming?
Another indication that this current wave of refugees may be more like an invasion is also reported by Breitbart:
A scathing editorial in German newspaper the Frankfurter Allgemeine has criticised Saudi Arabia and other Arab states for their inaction over the migrant crisis, and twisted priorities in Islamising Europe.
In many cases, refugees and economic migrants have travelled thousands of miles from the Near and Middle East to find new lives in Europe, bypassing much closer, wealthy, and sparsely populated Arab countries to do so. There have been many attempts to explain away this absurd situation in recent weeks as what was a year ago a barely noticed quirk, but what has now become a rapidly mounting scandal.
A piece by an analyst for the highly respected Royal United Services Institute for the BBC this week explained without any apparent irony that rich Gulf states were not admitting refugees because a sudden influx of tens of thousands, if not millions of people from a warzone could cause political instability and irreversible demographic shifts.
Why these reasons were perfectly reasonable for Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, and other similarly rich Gulf states, but couldn’t possibly apply to Europe, which is also facing political instability and irreversible demographic change, was not mentioned.
Private individuals, every news report is now obliged to tell you, have gone over the heads of their own governments and are spending some of their enormous oil wealth on charity – about £600 million. Further, the Saudi Arabian government have just made a very generous offer to Germany.
No doubt spurred on by the multi-billion euro budget the German Federal government has now realised is totally insufficient for the nearly one million predominantly Muslim migrants and asylum seekers they are taking in this year, Saudi Arabia has offered Germany an undisclosed sum of money to make life more bearable for the new arrivals. They propose to build 200 new mosques in the country to make the Syrians at home, reports the Frankfurter Allgemeine.
200 new mosques in Germany; all paid for by Saudi Arabia?
Hmmm . . . this sure sounds like a cultural invasion to me.
Any one of these oil-rich Arab countries could easily take in these refugees.
But, the truth is, they don’t want them there. It is far easier to pay some European country to take them.
And, in the process, if Islam is spread far and wide in Europe as a result, so much the better in their thinking.
America better wake up, given Obama’s penchant for all things Islamic, we’re next on the mosque-building list.
The only difference is that Obama will make Americans pay for the refugees, not rich Arab countries.
Let’s hope the invasion here doesn’t get fully started until we have a new occupant in 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. who will put a stop to it.
