The United States and our leaders should heed the historical record and listen to the reluctance of Eastern European leaders to admit the recent spate of hundreds of thousands of Muslim “refugees” into their countries, because most of Eastern Europe views these “refugees” as invaders, rightly so. Muslim “refugees” have illegally breached the borders of several European Union nations, including Greece, Italy, Serbia and Hungary, and they have violently crashed the gates at Horgos-Rozke in Hungary, with arrogance and temerity, on their way to the Gates of Vienna and Germany and America; and as such, they are invaders in every sense of the word, who bring with them undeniable risks to every Western nation’s national security, and America must refuse to accept any Muslim “refugees” into our nation – these barbarians at the gates.
ReplyDeleteThese Muslim invaders have appeared on Europe’s borders uninvited, with the exception of an open invitation by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose moral compass has become distorted. Merkel has placed the invaders’ desires and demands above the welfare of the German people, and her unilateral decision to accept 800,000 Syrian “migrants” will hasten Germany’s Islamicization and demise.
As one witnesses all the intense, healthy, able-bodied young and aggressive Muslim men expending a great deal of energy to crash through Europe’s borders, one must ask, “Why aren’t they expending that energy to fight and save their homelands?”
Whether or not a significant portion of these Muslims are truly docile and “peaceful,” mythical “moderates” yet to discover the cognitive recognition of Islam’s evil, the majority hold to an ideological belief and a worldview that is 100% contrary to the worldview of Christians and western civilization. Defiantly, they trample the values of religious freedom, they demand special accommodations from host nations, they subvert their host nation through Sharia law and they never fully assimilate. And now the abysmal dysfunction of Islam, Middle Eastern problems and terrorism are being brought to the streets of Europe and America.
Invasion and conquest by military might, migration and procreation has been an incessant aspect of Islam, from the time Charles “the Hammer” Martel repelled a Muslim army at Tours in 732 A.D. to the present. This Trojan horse “refugee” movement and European appeasement and acceptance of these Muslim “refugees”, will ensure the fall of Europe to Islam; this alone, in conjunction with an ascendant and ever increasingly murderous and militant Islam, is enough to suggest that any nation is insane to leave the gates open to Muslims.
It is purely delusional for any world leader to equate Islam to a “religion” in any normal sense of the word or to dismiss the ideology of Islam and all it encompasses. But, on September 17th, Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic of Croatia stated that “their religion … is completely irrelevant.”
Clare Lopez, a former CIA agent and a senior analyst for the Center for Security Policy told World Net Daily (Sept. 7th): “Today, it is the nation-state system and any concept of national sovereignty that is under concerted attack by the forces of the global jihad movement.”
ReplyDeletePrime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary had the acumen and fortitude to call this Muslim exodus an “invasion” on September 17th, and he ordered fences to be built along all of Hungary’s borders. He also warned on Sept. 6th that “Europe risks being swamped by migrants.” And, in his comments for ‘Allgemeine Zeitung’, PM Orban stated that he was closing Hungary’s borders to Muslims to preserve Hungary’s Christian heritage: Equally important, Slovakia announce in August that it would accept only Christian migrants.
Approximately seven to ten thousand Muslim invaders, Afghans, Lebanese, Syrians and Iraqis, have been crossing the European Union’s borders daily for the past two months. One hundred and twenty-seven thousand Muslim “refugees” entered Austria alone in only a three day period, between Sept. 17th and Sept. 20th.
However, Eastern Europe has not forgotten that four million Armenian Christians were murdered by Muslims (1904-1917). They remember that Muslims traveled to Bulgaria, Ukraine and Austria and mounted attacks at Varna, Khotyn and Vienna; they remember that one million Slavic people were enslaved by Muslims from Crimea, between the 15th and 18th centuries. And Europe certainly hasn’t forgotten Serbia and the heinous genocides first perpetrated against the Serbs in the 1990s by Muslim jihadists returning from the Afghan War against the Soviets and the ensuing mayhem of the Balkan Wars.
Even today in September 2015, four million Christians have been systematically displace and murdered in Syria and Iraq by the bastard enforcers of Islam, the Islamic State, and Christians cannot seek sanctuary in the U.N. refugee camps, because these camps are managed by Muslims. And yet, all U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon can offer is how “shocked” he is by Hungary’s so-called “hardline anti-migrant stance” towards Muslims.
One should ask the most important question: How many of these “migrants” are terrorists entering Europe and America as “refugees”?
On September 11th, 2015, Joshua Katz, ex-CIA, noted that even with a thorough vetting process, some Syrians accepted into the U.S. could still turn into terrorists in the long run _ [10%-20%-more?]. He is against increased quotas for this reason.
With our CIA and experts such as Lopez and Katz opposed to mandatory quotas, the U.N. and the world cannot expect Eastern Europe to take risks and act against their national interests. However, such is obviously the case, since on September 21st, European President Donald Trusk and the European Union majority voted to implement mandatory quotas that all members will be required to accept.
President Obama and Secretary Kerry have asserted that the U.S. will accept 10,000 extra Syrian refugees by the end of the year and 200,000 over the next two years. They have essentially bowed to political pressure from international human rights organizations and the UN High Commission for Refugees.
Interestingly though, Nick Fagge of ‘The Daily Mail’ reported recently that he had flown from London to the Turkish-Syrian border and acquired a new identity as a Syrian, complete with a Syrian passport and driver’s license, for $2000. He was there and back in London within four days.
The FBI stated in February 2015 that it had no reliable way of vetting Syrian refugees, and during this same month, ‘The Express”, a British newspaper, reported that Islamic State operatives were using the Muslim exodus to form a covert army inside Western nations, with over 4,000 trained Islamofascist jihadists already having entered Europe. Combining this information with Fagge’s report presents a compelling argument to halt any U.S. refugee program from accepting any Muslim refugees.
ReplyDeleteSurely all of our hearts do ache for the poor little Muslim children, who are suffering this odyssey through the accident of their births under the crescent of Islam; but, finding a solution for this crisis is a moral imperative that rests squarely on the shoulders of Middle Eastern leaders, since the bad choices of these leaders and their people and the ideology of Islam have brought us to this point.
America must refuse to follow the European Union’s path to national suicide. Even the less extreme of these “refugees” are only marginally accommodating to other religions and democratic principles, and to allow these Muslim hordes into one’s nation, as an ascendant Islamic ideology murders its way across the Middle East, is placing that nation on a path towards destruction: refuse to accommodate any Muslim, until Christians facing genocide are saved __ until all Islamic State jihadists are executed and rotting in the dirt – until the Middle East accepts responsibility for the situation – and until all of Islam has taken significant steps toward real reformation and Christian icons and historic Christian Churches, such as St Elian Monastery, St Simeon Chapel, St Ephraim and the Allepo Chapel, have been restored and rebuilt.
