Afghan gun battles are now happening on the border of the EU.

After Biden’s withdrawal, the fighting ended in Afghanistan and moved into Europe.

Even before the Taliban takeover, massive traffic of migrants and drugs flowed over the ‘Balkan Route’ that took Afghans into Iran, Turkey, and then Eastern Europe. One of the biggest holes in Europe’s armor was the former Yugoslavia, illegally invaded and partitioned by the Clinton administration, with a large Muslim population in Bosnia and heavy criminal organizations across the former republic that tie together the Russian mob, local gangs, Islamic terrorists, and Turkish, Pakistani and Afghan operations moving weapons and drugs.

All of this comes together at the border between Serbia and Yugoslavia. Parts of Serbia’s border areas have become no-go zones: territories occupied by Muslim gangs. Serbian police raids on “migrants” now look like Israeli military operations with armored vehicles and troops. These raids have rounded up thousands of migrants along with automatic rifles and bombs.

Ever since Hungary began fortifying its border, the Muslim gangs had to work harder to penetrate it in order to continue moving their cargo into the rest of Europe. Faced with a more secure border, the smuggling was taken over by more violent groups. Including Al Qaeda.

Much as drug cartels followed Latin American migrants to America, the Afghan migrants traveling through Iran and Turkey to Eastern Europe were followed by Afghan Jihadis.

In Serbia’s border regions, competition between Afghan smuggling gangs broke out into open warfare with the groups using heavy weaponry against each other. Some of those weapons may have been left behind by the Biden administration when it fled Afghanistan. These gun battles are not just happening in deserted villages or near border fences, but in more populated areas.

The Serbian city of Subotica, with a population of nearly 100,000, has become ground zero for the migrant invasion. In September, Afghan and Moroccan Muslim gangs shot at each other in the parking lot of the multinational Lidl supermarket chain in a suburb of the city. The shooting spree in the crowded parking lot filled with families killed a 16-year-old girl.

The Afghan gangs that prevail in the gun battles that have become common on the route are the ones with the weapons and the training and are likely to be linked to the Haqqani Network.

When the Taliban took Kabul, it was actually the Haqqani Network which unlike most of the Taliban had built up professional units that resembled their NATO opposite numbers. The Haqqani Network had carried out some of the most devastating attacks against American forces in Afghanistan. The Haqqanis gained these capabilities through their close ties to Al Qaeda.

The Al Qaeda ties brought Arab Muslim money and training to the Afghan Jihadis. After the fall of Kabul, it was the Haqqanis who took over and decided who was allowed to reach the airport. The Biden administration had turned over passenger lists to the Al Qaeda group. After being put in charge of security in Kabul, Haqqani figures control security for the new Taliban regime.

Unlike the old Taliban leadership, which is reclusive and isolationist, the Haqqanis, true to their Al Qaeda links, have been focused on building up an international network. The Biden administration has decided that the Haqqanis, despite Al Qaeda, are moderates because they are more open to supporting education for girls and are willing to talk to the United States. But that is what makes the Haqqanis more dangerous because they are interested in the world.

The Haqqani interest appears to have taken the Al Qaeda linked Jihadis all the way to Europe.

György Bakondi, Hungary’s national security adviser, has warned that the Haqqanis won the gun battles and are now in charge of the smuggling route into the European Union.

“Smuggling gangs originating from Afghanistan in Serbia have family ties to the Taliban government in Afghanistan and the Haqqani network, which is a terrorist organization,” he said. “The Taliban secret services are now directly controlling the activities of these Afghan-origin smuggling groups.”

The Hungarian authorities have shown videos of aggressive efforts by Afghan migrants to invade their country. Migrants no longer just try to get across the border, they  “are organized into military-style formations of 20 and armed with marbles, slingshots, and sticks to fight back against Hungarian border guards sent to stop them.” The Afghan smugglers carry assault rifles and open fire, into the air or at border patrol officers, to signal that a crossing is underway.

According to Bakondi, the smugglers have “family ties” to the Haqqanis. The Haqqanis are a large family and they also have extended clan connections. Using those family ties to gain control of the smuggling route into Europe would give them a financial lifeline outside of Afghanistan, whose main current source of income is foreign aid run out of Kabul-based NGOs that are taxed by the Haqqanis, and the ability to move Jihadis into Europe for future attacks.

The United States and European NATO members may have hoped to leave Afghanistan behind, but Afghanistan instead followed NATO. As Islamic terrorists always do. When France left North Africa, an army of North African immigrants followed and transformed France into a terror hub. Pakistanis did the same thing to the United Kingdom and Turks and Kurds to Germany.

America imported vast numbers of Afghan refugees and those we didn’t airlift are migrating to Europe. The Haqqani Network decided who would get on Biden’s evacuation planes. Now it’s deciding who gets to enter Europe. While the Haqqanis are cashing in, they’re also almost certainly bringing their own “family” members to Europe to set up local criminal operations.

The Taliban’s alleged ban on opium production was widely reported by the media, less widely reported was that the Taliban have switched from opium to meth. Despite the Taliban ban, opium production actually rose by a third, and the Taliban are cashing in on an artificial shortage that their regime temporarily created, but the real story is that Afghanistan has become the fastest-growing source of meth in the world. And the Islamists are using Iran as a model.

The Afghan smuggling route is also the transit point for moving meth from Iran to Europe. By controlling the route, the Haqqanis can potentially control both the heroin and the meth market. Human smuggling allows them to also bring in their people so that they control not only the transit of drugs but also the sale and distribution of them across Europe. Jihadis have already used access to the European criminal class to convert its members to Islam and recruit them.

While NATO may have left behind its ‘nation building’ operation to win ‘hearts and minds’ in Europe, the Jihadis it was fighting have followed NATO to Europe to build their own nation, their ‘ummah’, in the heart of the infidel enemy. And they’re winning ‘hearts and minds’ left and right.

Afghanistan is not just a place, it’s where the Afghans are. The Taliban and Al Qaeda were not left behind in the dust of Kabul, they are making the long trek into Europe. The Hungarians have tried to build a wall, but much as the Chinese learned during the Mongolian invasions or the Israelis learned on Oct 7, it’s not enough to build a wall, you have to vigilantly defend it. And given enough time, the barbarians will find a way around it, under it, over it, or through it.

Walls alone do not stop an invasion. Eventually you will have to fight and defeat the invaders.

Islamic State calls on Muslims to attack Jews in Europe and US and to bomb Israeli embassies worldwide

“Kill them wherever you find them…” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, cf. 9:5)

“ISIS releases sick video calling for attacks on Jewish people in US and Europe,” by Ryan Fahey, Mirror, November 14, 2023:

Terror group ISIS has released a sickening video in which they called for followers to attack Jewish people in Europe and the US and to bomb Israeli embassies across the globe.

The twisted footage includes the extremists also calling for its members to put on suicide vests to carry out attacks against US forces stationed in the Persian Gulf….

ISIS made a similar announcement last month in issue 413 of al-Naba – a weekly newspaper produced by the terror mob. In the editorial, the group called for terrorists to take up arms and attack Jewish neighborhoods across the world.

They urged jihadists to attack synagogues, nightclubs, and businesses linked to Jewish people. The terror group wrote: “Target synagogues scattered everywhere. Attacking Jewish nightclubs and targeting their visitors with murder. Target the Jewish economic interests spread across the world.

“Educate generations that the battle with the Jews is purely ideological, neither patriotic nor national. And that the battlefield includes all places of Jewish existence and is not limited to Palestine. We invite you to join the caliphate, which seeks to remove the borders and dams that prevent them from the fight.”

Germany: Muslim youth say ‘First we cut the throats of the Jews, then the gays and finally the Christians!’

The Germans can’t say that they weren’t warned. But they smeared those who warned them as “racists” and “Islamophobes,” and welcomed the fate that is coming to them courtesy of those they began welcoming in massive numbers in 2015.

“Islamism alarm: ‘A 12-year-old came to me and said: “I hate you,”‘” translated from “Islamismus-Alarm: „Ein 12-Jähriger kam zu mir und sagte: ’Ich hasse dich’”,” Focus, November 9, 2023 (thanks to Medforth):

Anti-Israel calls and radical Islamic banners at demonstrations concern German society. Young people in particular seem to be affected. The spokesman for the children’s and youth organization “Arche” also warns about this.

Wolfgang Büscher is worried. The 65-year-old is the spokesman for the children’s and youth organization “Arche,” which looks after around 7,000 children and young people every day in 33 facilities across Germany – many of them with a migrant background. In his work, Bücher has been experiencing increasing radicalization among young people for some time, he tells “Bild.”

Arche spokesman warns against radicalization of young people: “We are facing a catastrophe”
According to the newspaper, Hamas’ terror against Israel is being welcomed and celebrated more and more openly by young people. This is clear from the statement of Arab young people that Büscher quotes: “First we cut the throats of the Jews, then the gays and finally the Christians!”

This statement is not an isolated case, the Arche spokesman reported to “Bild”. “Children and young people are becoming increasingly radicalized. I’ve never experienced anything like this. We are facing a catastrophe.”

Arche spokesman sees no chance of improvement for many young people
After the Hamas attack on Israel, he wore an Israel pin, Books reports. He was openly attacked for this. “A 12-year-old boy came to me and said, ‘I hate you. “We’ll take the country back,” he smiled in my face.”

Germany: Because of Muslim migrant pressure, Anne Frank daycare center to be renamed

Celebrations of diversity are actually quite monochromatic, but no one seems to have noticed yet.

“After migrant parent pressure, Anne Frank daycare center to be renamed – report,” by Zvika Klein, Jerusalem Post, November 6, 2023:

Parents in Saxony-Anhalt German State promoted the decision to rename the “Anne Frank” daycare center in Tangerhütte, a small town in the state, according to reports in German media.

The move was driven by parents who found it difficult to explain Frank’s significance to their children. According to Apollo News, a German news site, in a small town in Saxony-Anhalt, a daycare center has become the center of a local scandal.

The “Anne Frank” daycare center in Tangerhütte, which has been operating for generations, is set to undergo a name change. The decision to rename the daycare center, named after the most famous Jewish girl, has sparked controversy.

The idea of changing of name of Frank, who tragically died in a concentration camp at the age of 15, has come from migrant parents, according to the daycare center’s director. “It is reported that parents with migrant backgrounds feel uncertain about the name and find it challenging to explain to their children,” the report said.

However, the Miteinander eV organization, promoting an open society, disagreed with this decision. They argued that there are effective and age-appropriate educational concepts for teaching children and young people about Frank’s life and the historical significance it holds. They emphasized that “renaming the daycare center sends the wrong signal, especially in a time marked by increasing antisemitism.” They said they believed that now, more than ever, there is a need for sensitivity to the impact of symbolic renaming….

THE FUNDING OF “PALESTINIANS”, GAZA, HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH, ETC. BY “SYMPATHETIC” COUNTRIES & PERSONS WHO ARE IN DENIAL AND SHOULD KNOW BETTER

EU Responds to Hamas Terror by Tripling Gaza Aid

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2023/10/eu-responds-to-hamas-terror-by-tripling-gaza-aid;Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

The more Hamas kills, the more money it makes.

There’s a simple formula here. Hamas escalates its attacks, Israel tries to take it out and the “international community” sweeps in afterward to “rebuild Gaza”. The more people Hamas kills, the more money gets spent rebuilding Gaza.

Considering that Hamas controls Gaza, it’s a pretty good deal. The more it kills, the more money it makes.

“The scale of terror and brutality against Israel and its people is a turning point. There can be no business as usual. As the biggest donor of the Palestinians, the European Commission is putting its full development portfolio under review, worth a total of EUR 691m,” the EU’s Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Oliver Varhelyi announced. “All payments are immediately suspended. All projects are put under review. All new budget proposals, including for 2023 postponed until further notice. Comprehensive assessment of the whole portfolio.”

Oliver Varhelyi is Hungarian and the EU quickly overruled him to announce that instead, it’s tripling aid.

The European Commission is tripling its humanitarian assistance to Gaza as the bloc comes under mounting pressure to present a coherent policy on the Israel-Gaza crisis.

European Council chief Charles Michel has convened an extraordinary virtual meeting of EU leaders for Tuesday to establish a “clear unified course of action that reflects the complexity of the unfolding situation.”

The EU’s executive arm will increase its humanitarian funding to Gaza from €25 million to €75 million.

The clear, concise, and coherent policy funds terrorism more. So the EU’s executive arm is upgrading aid from around $26 million to $78 million.

What do you get if you kill over 1,000 people? Your foreign aid gets tripled. Lesson well learned.

The EU will claim that it’s “humanitarian aid” not aid to Hamas, but it’s long since been obvious in Israel and any areas controlled by Islamic terrorists that the two are one and the same. NGOs are either controlled by the terrorists, their allies, or organizations that bribe them. Aid is repurposed by the terrorists to serve their own aims, utilized or resold. And since Hamas controls the Gaza economy, any local economic activity ultimately benefits Hamas.

The question is will the EU keep tripling “aid” if Hamas kills more people?

Canadian government announces additional ‘humanitarian aid’ to Palestinians amid Israel’s war on Hamas

This aid inevitably ends up in the hands of jihad-supporting leaders, because Palestinians are essentially ruled by Fatah and Hamas, with regular jihadist activity also from Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

“Ottawa also announced $10 million in humanitarian assistance on Oct. 12,” while Israel is still reeling from Hamas atrocities against its citizens.

That’s on top of the amount that Ottawa announced in June: $100 million to UNRWA over the next four years, after already providing $90 million from 2019 to 2023.

Canada knew that UNRWA produced grossly antisemitic educational materials, but it kept on handing over huge wads of taxpayer cash anyway.

Palestinian kids at UNRWA school even exposed the lessons that they’re being taught: “They teach us that Jews are bad people.”

Canada would do well to remember that in 2019, Trudeau made a sudden switch, after a decade of voting for Israel, to support a “pro-Palestine” UN resolution which was sponsored by the so-called “State of Palestine,” North Korea, Egypt, Nicaragua, and Zimbabwe.

“EXPLAINER: What the Canadian Government Funds in Hamas-Ruled Gaza,” by Noé Chartier, Epoch Times, October 16, 2023:

Ottawa has announced additional humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack against Israel and subsequent retaliation, while addressing fears the aid could be diverted to fund terrorist activities.

Hamas has been de facto ruling the Gaza Strip since taking over in 2007.

Ottawa provides approximately $55 million annually to “help meet the development and humanitarian needs of vulnerable Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza,” says Global Affairs Canada (GAC). The funding is split between $20 million for development aid and $35 million for humanitarian assistance…..

LONDON: MAYOR Sadiq Khan Makes Clear Which Side He Is On~Palpable Sympathy for the Palestinians, and Want of Sympathy for Israel

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2023/10/sadiq-khan-makes-clear-which-side-he-is-on;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

In many cities around the world, the blue-and-white colors of the Israeli flag, or the flag itself, have been projected onto major buildings in an outward and visible show of sympathy and solidarity: the White House in Washington, the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Canadian Parliament’s Peace Tower in Ottawa, the Arch of Titus in Rome, the Sydney Opera House and the Federal Parliament House, the Bulgarian Parliament, the Berlaymont, which houses the headquarters of the European Commission in Brussels, and many others have been enrolled in the effort. And in London, the Israeli flag was projected onto both the Parliament Building and 10 Downing Street. But the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, chose not to light up any of the buildings under his control. In fact, he has been most concerned not about the atrocities inflicted on Israeli men, women, and, especially, children, but about Israel’s determination to wipe out, as it must, the terror group Hamas.

Here is what he said on a visit to the London office of Medical Aid for Palestinians: “Sadiq Khan fears a ‘disproportionate’ Israeli response to Hamas’ terrorist attacks could lead to ‘inexplicable suffering’ in Gaza,” by Oliver Price, Daily Mail, October 13, 2023:

The Mayor of London has said he fears a ‘disproportionate’ response by Israel to the ‘terrorist’ attacks by Hamas could lead to ‘inexplicable suffering’ in Gaza.

What exactly, in Sadiq Khan’s view, would be a “proportionate” response to the decapitation of dozens of babies, the murders of hundreds of children, the rape and murder of young girls, the torture and murder, sometimes by beheading, of 280 IDF soldiers, the kidnapping of Holocaust survivors in wheelchairs? Last I looked, Israel had not decapitated anyone, not a single child in Gaza was deliberately targeted, no Palestinian girls were raped or murdered, and the IDF, in fact, has been making heroic efforts to warn civilians away from places it is about to target, by messaging, telephoning, and using the “knock-on-the-roof” technique. Now it has urged Gazan civilians to move from the northern part of the Strip to the south, in order to avoid being caught in the fighting that will follow the IDF’s imminent invasion. It is Israel that is trying to save civilian lives, and Hamas, by insisting that they stay put in the north, that is trying to endanger them.

Sadiq Khan can hardly be unaware of that longstanding practice by the IDF. We also know that while Israel has dropped 6,000 bombs on Gaza, to destroy weapons hideouts, rocket launchers, command-and-control centers, and the offices of Hamas leaders, only 1417 Gazans have died so far, as of Oct. 14, which means that for every four bombs the IAF drops, only one Gazan is killed — an astounding figure that testifies to the care the IAF takes to minimize casualties through its multifaceted system of warnings. And while we know that 85% of the Israelis who were murdered by Hamas were civilians, we don’t know as yet how many of the Gazans killed were civilians. I doubt, judging by the results of the IAF’s previous bombings in the Strip, that more than a quarter of the Gazans killed in this war so far have been civilians. Of course, Hamas lies about its casualties. It always has done so, inflating the numbers of women and children killed, just as it prepares Palestinian families to cry on camera, and provides them with scripts of what to say to foreign journalists. That will all be investigated once the war is over, and Hamas as a military force is crushed. What Sadiq Khan should have said, under the circumstances, is that “I am aware of the enormous efforts Israel makes to minimize civilian casualties and I know that will continue in the coming days” instead of scolding the Jewish state in such an intolerable manner.

Sadiq Khan also called for the Israeli government to reconsider blocking off food, water and electricity to the region in response to the killings and kidnappings by the militant group, which led to the deaths of more than 1,000 Israelis [now 1,300] last weekend.

Israel is hoping to bring an end to this war to crush Hamas as quickly as possible, with as little loss of civilian life as possible. The Jewish state is under no obligation to supply anything at all to the people of Gaza, who have produced Hamas, who join Hamas, who support Hamas even if they are not members. The Gazans now have one plant that generates electricity, and have relied on Israel — their mortal enemy, whom they are determined to destroy — to supply the rest of its electricity needs. Israel was willing to do this in the past, but not now, in the middle of a war, and especially not after the atrocities visited upon its people by Hamas. The Gazans could by now have had several electricity plants built and in operation, had Hamas not chosen instead to spend billions on terror tunnels and weapons, and on the luxurious lives of its thieving leaders.

Why should Israel be expected to supply its enemies with any resources? Would the Americans have delivered food and water to Nazi Germany, or to militarist Japan, during World War II? Would we have supplied electricity, food, or fuel to those living in the Islamic State? Gaza has the coastal aquifer to supply some water, and it is not completely, as Sadiq Khan claims, “without water.” Gaza’s chronic lack of water is a result of three things: weak resource management, rapid population growth, and a failure to pay for WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) infrastructure. Is Israel at fault if Gazans have so many children, and that staggering increase in population requires more water? Is Israel to blame for the mismanagement of water resources by Hamas, including its allowing raw sewage to flow, untreated, into the sea? Or should we blame Israel for the billions of dollars in aid siphoned off by a handful of Hamas leaders, with five billion dollars being stolen by just two of them, Khaled Meshaal and Mousa Abu Marzouk? Did Israel force Hamas to spend so much money on war-making rather than on the husbanding and production of water? Hasn’t Israel in the past offered to share with the Palestinians its own advances in drip irrigation, and the Watergen technology that allows water to be produced from the ambient air?

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has been most concerned not about the atrocities inflicted on Israeli men, women, and, especially, children, but about Israel’s determination to wipe out, as it must, the terror group Hamas. “Sadiq Khan fears a ‘disproportionate’ Israeli response to Hamas’ terrorist attacks could lead to ‘inexplicable suffering’ in Gaza,” by Oliver Price, Daily Mail, October 13, 2023:

During a visit today to Islington-based charity Medical Aid For Palestinians (MAP), the Labour mayor said: ‘I’ve spoken to Londoners who lost family members in Gaza and Londoners who’ve lost family as a consequence of the Hamas terrorist attack last weekend, so we’re feeling the pain here.

Khan refers first to the Palestinians who died in Gaza (the family members “lost” by Londoners), and only after that, in a tortuous locution, he refers to “Londoners who’ve lost family as a consequence of the Hamas terrorist attack last weekend.” No. Say it straight, Sadiq: “Londoners whose family members were murdered by Hamas.”

‘But we are worried about the response of the Israeli government being disproportionate (and) leading to the sort of suffering which is inexplicable.’

Mr Khan added: ‘We’re talking about human suffering on a scale which this charity, who has worked in that area for decades, hasn’t seen.’

The “human suffering” Khan is talking about is not that of the Israelis. No, he’s talking only about the ”human suffering” in Gaza, which is a direct result of Hamas’ murders, rapes, mutilations, and desecrations of the dead. Khan might better have directed his sympathy at the Israeli victims, instead of exaggerating the “suffering” of the Gazans, many of whom were celebrating the Hamas murders. And why is their “suffering” described by Khan as “inexplicable”? Israel’s response is perfectly explicable. It is what the U.K., or the U.S., or any Western state, if its people had been attacked in a manner similar to what Israel endured on Oct. 7, would do in response. The only difference is that no other country would make it a policy to warn enemy civilians away from targets, as Israel routinely does. Think of how many tens of thousands of civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan were collateral damage, killed by the American army in an attempt to hunt down terrorists and their supporters.

Speaking to an ITV journalist at the same event, he added: ‘The concerns many of us have is the response from the Israeli government and its disproportionality in relation to the suffering in Gaza.

The response of the Israeli government can hardly be described as “disproportionate,” given what Israel has suffered. Despite having endured every conceivable atrocity at the hands of Hamas, the Israelis still continue their policy of warning civilians away from targeted structures, which also allows Hamas members to escape. And Israel still provides medical care, albeit in prison hospitals, to wounded members of Hamas.

According to Sadiq Khan:

‘No child has joined Hamas to my knowledge. Those people who are in hospital aren’t members of Hamas.

No child has joined Hamas, and no child in Gaza is being targeted by Israel. Some of them live in or near buildings where Hamas has weapons, or offices, or hideouts for its fighters. The IDF tries to minimize harm to these human shields held hostage by Hamas. No child is being targeted by the IDF, and Sadiq Khan knows that. As for the people in Gazan hospitals, he knows, too, that Hamas has for decades hidden weapons and fighters in and beneath hospitals (as it has, too, in schools, apartment buildings, and mosques); the IDF warns the staffs of those hospitals well in advance of targeting buildings near them so that both the medical personnel and the patients can be moved out. And why is Sadiq Khan so sure that the people now in Gazan hospitals are not members of Hamas? I would guess that thousands of the wounded belong to Hamas.

‘Of course, Israel must go after Hamas but what’s happening in Gaza is suffering on a scale which this charity has never seen.’

Perhaps this Palestinian charity has never seen such “suffering,” but the rest of the world saw the suffering of the Israelis last week, a suffering that is incommensurable with any suffering the Gazans may have endured. Sadiq Khan seems to have forgotten all that; after all, nearly a whole week has passed. He’s forgotten what happened to the Israelis; now his attention is focused on “suffering” in Gaza that is “on a scale which this charity [Medical Aid for Palestinians] “has never seen.”

 The Labour mayor urged the British Government to put pressure on Israel to practice restraint, adding: ‘I’m hoping the Israeli government will reconsider, understanding the pressure internationally, when you hear what the United Nations is saying, what the World Health Organization is saying, and when you listen to those people on the ground.

Israel doesn’t need Sadiq Khan, or anyone else, to tell it to exercise restraint. Every time the Israelis give a warning to the inhabitants about a building about to be targeted, knowing that such a warning will also allow Hamas terrorists to escape, it exercise restraint. Every time an Israeli pilot calls off an attack because he’s detected the presence of too many civilians, he is exercising restraint. There is only one side in this war that is unrestrained in its murderous depravity — Hamas. Sadiq Khan is posting his letter to the wrong address.

‘We should use our good relationship with the Israeli government to remind them of the importance of responding proportionately, allowing food, water, and medicine to reach the people of Gaza, and explain the unreasonableness of expecting over one million people, a population the size of Birmingham, to leave their homes and go south.

Why is it unreasonable for Israel to try to minimize civilian casualties by warning Gazans that remaining in the north will be dangerous, for it is there that the war will soon explode? It is Hamas that is urging the people in the north to stay put, in order — so Hamas hopes — that many of them will be killed, thus providing a propaganda victory for the terrorist group. We have seen hundreds of thousands of Gazans have already been moving south, showing that they trust the Israeli warning, and know that in the south they will be relatively secure, while they have no faith in Hamas, which actively seeks to endanger them.

‘Speaking to people here, there’s no way for them to go south.’

That’s what Sadiq Khan said, just the day before the movement southward was underway in Gaza. Apparently, the Gazans did find “a way for them to go south.” Almost half a million have now done exactly what Sadiq Khan said there is “no way” for them to do.

On Twitter, Sadiq Khan showed where his sympathies lay:

Good to spend time with Medical Aid for Palestinians who are doing essential humanitarian work supporting civilians in Gaza. The situation in Gaza was already incredibly difficult, but what Palestinians are facing now is dire.

Khan has also written to Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, calling for “humanitarian aid” for Gaza. Khan posted his letter to Cleverly on Instagram with a comment:

I’ve written to the Foreign Secretary about the situation in the Middle East, and to call for urgent action to deliver humanitarian access and support to and from Gaza, echoing the @unitednations and @who.

Why doesn’t Sadiq Khan ask for the obvious? That is, why doesn’t Egypt open up the Rafah Crossing at the Egypt-Gaza border to let some Gazans out, to live temporarily in tent cities in the Sinai, and at the same time, to let humanitarian aid flow freely into Gaza? Doesn’t Sadiq Khan realize that Egypt will as of now neither let Gazans in so that they may take refuge in their country while hostilities are ongoing, nor will Cairo allow humanitarian aid to flow into Gaza through the Rafah Crossing?

Sadiq Khan’s palpable sympathy for the Palestinians and his want of sympathy for Israel, have both been on display this week. Let us hope that despite the Muslim bloc of voters who will support him, the indigenous British, who still constitute 85% of the electorate in London, will take note of his views, and in 2024 vote him out of office. He’s been mayor since 2016; it’s long past time he was shown — unceremoniously — the door.

Israel at war: Saudis, Qatar, Iran blame ‘occupation’; France, Netherlands support Israel’s right to defend itself

Israel has declared a state of war after Hamas launches a massive surprise attack. At least 70 Israelis have been killed, over 900 wounded, and dozens of hostages in Israel and Gaza have been taken. Hamas has been reportedly using Islamic State tactics as it stormed Israeli communities and took captives.

“At least five different communities were attacked on the ground by terrorists. They were in pickup trucks, much like ISIS uses,” said Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus.

Biden didn’t release a statement until after 11AM:

Operation Swords of Iron is now on.

Meanwhile Saudi Arabia, along with Iran and Qatar are blaming Israel for the attack because of its alleged “occupation.” Many say that Iran launched this attack in order to head off Israeli-Saudi normalization.


“Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iran say Israel has only itself to blame for Hamas attacks,” by Nick Robertson, The Hill, October 2, 2023:

The governments of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Iran appeared to back Hamas in its escalating conflict with Israel on Saturday.

The Palestinian militant group launched a mass attack on Israeli forces and settlements, killing at least 40 people early Saturday.

While leaders in the U.S. and Europe quickly denounced the attack and gave support for Israel, the three Middle Eastern nations criticized the country over its treatment of Palestinians.

“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is closely following the developments of the unprecedented situation between a number of Palestinian factions and the Israeli occupation forces, which has resulted in a high level of violence on several fronts there,” the country’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

“The Kingdom recalls its repeated warnings of the dangers of the explosion of the situation as a result of the continued occupation, and deprivation of the Palestinian people of their legitimate rights, and the repetition of systematic provocations against its sanctities,” the statement continues.

The condemnation comes as both the Israeli and Saudi governments have attempted to normalize relations in recent years, at the encouragement of the U.S.

A senior Iranian government advisor explicitly endorsed Hamas in the conflict, the most direct support for the militant group from any government official globally.

“We congratulate the Palestinian fighters,” advisor Yahya Rahim Safavi said, according to state media via Reuters. “We will stand by the Palestinian fighters until the liberation of Palestine and Jerusalem.”

Iran state media showed video of parliament members chanting in support of Hamas on Saturday, saying “Death to Israel” and “Palestine is victorious, Israel will be destroyed”.

Iran has funded and supplied Hamas for years as part of its decades-long conflict with Israel….

EU member states reach preliminary deal on how to deal with illegal migrants

Of course, this new round of meetings again included much discussion about the globalist-supported NGO’s who are railing against any pushback, as they encourage and continue to transport illegal economic migrants who illegally enter EU member states.

Note the reference below to “concerns” about “increasing the risk of sending migrants back to perilous situations.” So to NGOs and EU globalists who support them, the answer is for Western countries, which are struggling now, simply to absorb what could end up being the entire populations of Middle Eastern and African countries. EU globalists, along with the UN, are in the process of erasing Western nations and Western identity, and along with them, the history of what it took to build Western nations.

The meeting was yet another déjà vu, as the EU goes around in circles, trying every which way to implement the original, disastrous UN migration pact, which failed to garner support for good reasons. In June, the EU was said to have reached a deal on “more equitable refugee hosting.”  It really meant the return of migration quotas dictated by EU globalists. Poland and Hungary flatly refused, so the EU is once again twisting the arm of all recalcitrant EU members until they accept the core of the UN migration pact: open-door migration under the instruction of the UN.

Meanwhile, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has again declared, in a tweet, that his country “will not become a migrant ghetto”:

 

“EU member states reach preliminary deal on how to deal with migrants,” WION, October 4, 2023:

EU member states on Wednesday (Oct 4) reached the preliminary agreement on establishing common rules to tackle a massive influx of asylum seekers. According to experts, this is a major element of the European Union’s migration reforms.

Ambassadors of EU nations gathered in Brussels to chalk out the draft text and gain a wider consensus after a political impasse between Germany and Italy derailed the negotiations last week.

“Deal! EU Ambassadors have reached an agreement on the regulation addressing situations of crisis and force majeure in the field of migration and asylum,” the Spanish presidency said on X.

Italy vs Germany impasse
Earlier, Italy opposed a part of the draft text that allowed NGO vessels, backed by Germany, to carry out ‘humanitarian efforts’ to search-and-rescue migrants in the Mediterranean Sea.

Germany defended the operations of NGO vessels, arguing that saving lives at sea is a legal, humanitarian and moral duty. On the other hand, Italy maintained that this encouraged more migrants to embark on the perilous journey.

Italian officials had previously criticised the German government for providing state funding to these NGOs…..

Details about the draft Crisis Regulation
The proposed Crisis Regulation outlines rules that would be implemented during exceptional circumstances, such as the 2015-2016 migration crisis, when the European Union’s asylum system faced a sudden and large influx of migrants.

To manage this unexpected situation, member states could employ stricter measures, like prolonged border stays for asylum seekers during the examination of their asylum pleas….

Concerns raised by NGOs suggest that these exceptions could lead to significant confinement, potentially diminishing the quality of asylum procedures and increasing the risk of sending migrants back to perilous situations….

HOMESCHOOL LEGAL DEFENSE: The Romeike family is facing deportation and renewed persecution for their religious beliefs in Germany. And there’s something you can do to help.

HOMESCHOOL LEGAL DEFENSE

SEE OUR PREVIOUS POSTS: https://ratherexposethem.org/?s=Romeike+family+

We’re working to ensure the Romeikes can remain in the US and homeschool in peace, and a critical part of that effort is a petition we’ve created asking the Biden administration to intervene.

We need at least 100,000 signatures in order to have the best chance of reaching the White House. Please consider signing the petition and voicing your support for the Romeike family’s right to follow their deeply held religious convictions.


Since we created the petition, the Romeikes’ story has begun to receive national news coverage. Fox News, the Daily Mail, and National Review are covering the story.

With this momentum in the press and your signature, we can have a big impact when we deliver a show of support to the White House and to Congress—hopefully by the first week of October.


Here's more context to the Romeike Story.


When Uwe and Hannelore Romeike decided that God was calling them to homeschool their five children in 2006, Germany responded swiftly by leveling fines that exceeded the family’s income, forcibly removing the children from the home, and threatening to take them permanently.

So the Romeikes fled to America, where we helped them apply for asylum. In 2013, after five years of legal battles and a growing public outcry, the United States government granted the Romeikes “indefinitely deferred action status,” which allowed them to live, work, and remain safely in the United States without fear of deportation.


Then it all changed.


Then, in September 2023, the Romeikes were told during a routine check-in that their deferred status had been revoked. The family was given four weeks to apply for German passports, so they could be deported to Germany. The family had no prior warning, and was offered no explanation, other than that there had been a “change of orders.”

More developments are coming, so watch your email this week as we share additional ways you can help our friends stay in the country and homeschool in peace.

Thank you!

James R. Mason, HSLDA President

P.S. Will you consider making a donation to HSLDA, so we can help the Romeikes fight the legal battle ahead of them?

 

Far-Left German Minister Wants to Grant Migrants Right to Vote After Only Six Months

This mad proposal, which if carried out would more quickly transform Germany into a country dominated by a large Muslim voting bloc, can be found here: “Asylum seekers should have right to vote after only 6-month stay on German soil, says far-left interior minister,” by John Cody, Remix News, September 19, 2023:

With Germany’s left-wing government sinking in the polls over a spiraling migration crisis and an economy in free fall, the left is starting to run low on voters. German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser may have the solution to the problem: Give asylum seekers the right to vote in local state elections after just six months in Germany. The program, if implemented, would translate into millions of new voters overnight.

We want to work hard at the federal level and in the Bundesrat to ensure that all people who live in Hessian municipalities for more than six months are given the right to vote in local elections,” describes the election program from her Social Democrats (SPD) in the state of Hesse where Faeser is currently up for election….

Migrants from EU countries share a common civilizational heritage with the Germans; it is not unreasonable to allow them to vote. They inhabit the same moral and intellectual universe. But the other migrants from outside the EU are overwhelmingly Muslim, and do not share that heritage; worse still, they regard the indigenous Germans as Infidels, and therefore “the most vile of created beings.”

Bild newspaper asked the SPD to clarify what the massive expansion of voting rights would actually mean. An SPD spokesman responded that the party’s statement should have specifically defined the new voters as those “who have a permanent residence permit.” However, this would still apply to a range of asylum seekers from countries such as Syria, Afghanistan and Eritrea.

Giving the vote to Muslim economic migrants who have been in the country for only six months — instead of limiting that right to citizens (and to become a citizen, a migrant has to have lived legally in Germany for eight years, or seven years if he has successfully passed an integration course) — would instantly give an estimated four million migrants the right to vote, and vote they will, en masse, for the far-left parties that made their voting after six months possible.

Faeser is known for her hardline left-wing political positions, persecution of conservatives, and calls for mass censorship; she was also previously revealed to have written for Antifa magazine shortly before becoming interior minister….

The far-left Faeser has a worrisome record as a persecutor of conservatives and as an Antifa supporter; she is not at all bothered with the tsunami of Muslim economic migrants who are draining the German treasury and making Germany a far more unpleasant, expensive, and dangerous place to live. Instead, she wants to admit ever more such migrants and allow them to vote, they will cast their ballots by the millions for the far-left parties that have given them that vote, and the left will be assured of staying in power, aided by an ever-increasing number of Muslim migrants who, if Faeser’s latest proposal becomes law, will after only six months in Germany be exercising the right to vote.

Faeser’s proposal would give the vote to people, almost all of them Muslim economic migrants, who are years away from becoming citizens, who are not integrated into German society, and likely never truly will be, precisely because they are Muslims and despise Infidels who are “the most vile of created beings.” They may pretend to be asylum-seekers, but in truth, they are economic migrants, determined to take advantage of all the benefits that Germany’s generous welfare system can provide — free or subsidized housing, free medical care, free education (including vocational training), unemployment benefits, family allowances, and more. That is their only reason for being in Germany. And once they get the vote, they will vote in leftist politicians who are pushing for Germany to welcome still more Muslim immigrants who will allow in still more Muslim economic immigrants, and also increase the benefits provided to them. Already Germany is spending 36 billion euros a year on these migrants, and this sum has required large cuts in government support for German retirees When these economic migrants are able to vote after only six months, they will cast their ballots for leftist politicians who will expand the benefits provided, and that colossal sum now spent on the migrants will inexorably become larger still.

“The German passport is thus turned into a piece of junk. But above all: Faeser and the SPD want to attract people who have no connection to Germany at all as new groups of voters. This is not surprising, because the locals who are ridiculed as ‘non-migrants’ [i.e., the indigenous Germans] are running away from (Chanceller Olaf) Scholz’s SPD.”

Yes, how amusing to describe the indigenous Germans as “non-migrants”– as if they, the indigenous people of the country, are the interlopers. And these Germans, formerly supporters of the centrist-left SPD, are now leaving it in droves for the AfD, the party best known for its anti-Muslim migrant policy. Just now the AfD has become the strongest political force in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, making it the fourth eastern German state — after Brandenburg, Thuringia, and Saxony — in which the far-right party leads in the polls.

There is now a race on in Germany. Will the left manage to reduce the time migrants need to remain in Germany in order to vote from eight years — which is the time now required for someone living in Germany to become a citizen, and hence a voter — to six months, in which case another few million migrants will be able to vote for the parties furthest to the left, and they will continue to do so, from here on out, to make sure that Germany remains wide open to Muslim migrants and increases the government benefits to be supplied to them? And should that happen, that is how Germany will come undone.

There will come a time in Germany when the non-Muslims call upon the world for help against the persecution they are facing. Some people tried to warn them of what was coming, but they refused to listen to “Islamophobes.”

“Islam, Muslims Belong to Germany: German President,” About Islam, September 17, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Amid growing racism and Islamophobia, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has stressed that Islam, its culture, and people belong to Germany, calling for protecting and respecting the freedom of all believers.

Steinmeier was speaking Saturday at the celebration of the 50th founding anniversary of the Association of Islamic Cultural Centers (VIKZ) in Cologne, Anadolu Agency reported.

“Islam, the Muslim religion, Muslim life, Muslim culture have taken root in our country,” Steinmeier said.

“Today, the diversity of Islam, the diversity of over 5 million Muslims, is also part of our country,” he said….

Germany: Police Hide Nationality of Muslim Criminals

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2023/09/germany-police-hide-nationality-of-muslim-criminals;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

In Germany, a Syrian migrant tried to kill a snack bar employee, stabbing him in the neck. There was nothing unusual about that: there has been, during the last few years, a wave — a decuman — of murderous attacks by Muslim migrants throughout Europe. But this one was noted because the German police tried, yet again, to hide the criminal’s nationality from the public. More on this can be found here: “Germany: Police accused of hiding Syrian’s immigration status after he was arrested for stabbing a snack bar employee in the neck,” by John Cody, Remix News, September 15, 2023:

In the German city of Soest, a Syrian migrant is accused of stabbing a snack bar employee in the neck inside the Penny supermarket chain, causing life-threatening injuries that nearly severed a vital artery.

Police say that the suspect had already been banned from the supermarket chain, and when he entered the premises at 5:15 p.m. on Tuesday, a 42-year-old employee attempted to stop him.

Why was he banned from the entire supermarket chain? For shoplifting? For assaulting a shopgirl, or a female shopper? For shouting “Allahu akbar” in order to frighten the Infidels? All of these are perfectly plausible. In any case, he didn’t like being banned, and what better way to show he wasn’t going to take that ban lying down than to return to the store, armed with a knife, so that in case anyone tried to expel him, he could, as the Qur’an says, “smite at the neck” of that Infidel employee? Why should he, a Muslim, belonging to the “best of peoples,” have to take orders from an Infidel, who like all non-Muslims is “the most vile of created beings”?

Since the accused did not want to leave the snack bar, a scuffle broke out,” said police spokesman Marco Baffa-Scinelli, according to German newspaper Soester Anzeige.

The suspect, who lives in a nearby accommodation for migrants, pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim “abruptly in the neck,” according to the police report. The knife nearly hit the victim’s neck artery, creating a gaping wound that spouted blood across the supermarket.

The attacker fled the scene, but once police arrived, he reappeared, at which point he was arrested.

Why did he return so quickly to the scene of his stabbing attack? Perhaps he came to enjoy the sight of all that blood and gore. Perhaps he might even have caught sight of his victim lying dead. What fun!

Police were unable to interrogate the suspect due to a “language barrier.” The weapon involved in the attack has not yet been recovered.

The police, in their press release, did not publish the nationality or asylum status of the Syrian, instead simply stating that a Soester, which is the name given to local residents of the city, stabbed another local. Junge Freiheit newspaper accused the police of obscuring the attacker’s identity….

What the public has a right to know, most wants to know, and most needs to know, about the attacker, is his nationality and asylum status. And that information is exactly what the police withheld, describing him only as a “Soester” — that is, a resident of the city of Soest.

“North Rhine-Westphalia municipalities are handling more immigrants than they should under the Refugee Admission Act. Soest has a ‘fulfillment rate’ of 183 percent!” the party’s faction in North Rhine-Westphalia wrote on X, which according to the party, is the highest rate in the entire German state.

Although all of Germany is suffering from the huge apparently unstoppable influx of Muslim economic migrants, the cit of Soest has been made to take in far more than its fair share of so-called “refugees.” And the anti-Muslim immigrant party, Alternative für Deutschland, has been holding rallies in Soest to protest this state of affairs.

Although knife attacks are now commonplace across Germany, with approximately 50 occurring every day, police and media outlets routinely obscure the nationality of attackers, which also applies to a wide variety of other serious crimes, including gang rape….

The German police have for years been hiding from the public the true scope of Muslim migrant crime, by trying to identify them in a way that obscures their true identity, as in this case, by providing only the city where the perpetrator resides, and remaining silent on his nationality and asylum status. Apparently the authorities have decided they don’t want to alarm or anger the public that, were it fully informed about the extent and type of Muslim criminality, would rise up and vote in the anti-Muslim immigrant AfD.

The police are aided and abetted in this effort to hide the truth by the German media, that with the single exception of the mass-market tabloid Bild, willingly participates in this campaign of deliberate obfuscation.

The Alternative für Deutschland must make the scandalous behavior of both the police and the media, in deliberately hiding the identities of Muslim migrant criminals, into a major campaign issue. The public has a right to know the full extent of Muslim crime in their country. Only when fully informed, can the people of Germany — or the indigenes of any Western country where Muslims have been allowed to settle in large numbers — make wise decisions as to the immigration policy they wish to pursue. If the German public knew today the full scope of Muslim crime, or the British public fully grasped that tens of thousands of English girls have had their lives ruined by Pakistani grooming gangs, does anyone think their immigration policies would remain as suicidally soft-hearted as they are today?

UK government vows to stop giving taxpayer money to mosques that host antisemitic preachers, four got millions

Imagine the embarrassment of British authorities when they discover that Islamic antisemitism is deeply embedded in the Qur’an and Sunnah, and so antisemitic preachers are not “extremists,” but are completely within the Islamic mainstream. But by the time they find that out, it will be far too late for shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain, and likely is already.

The Jews in the Qur’an are called the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).

“Taxpayers fund mosques that host hate preachers,” by David Rose, The Jewish Chronicle, August 31, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The Government has vowed to stop giving taxpayers’ money to mosques that host antisemitic hate preachers after a JC investigation revealed that at least four had received grants totalling millions of pounds.

The largest grant was a £2.2 million award to a Birmingham mosque which has hosted a speaker who has described Jews as “people of envy” who “killed the prophets and the messengers”.

In a viral video, its leading imam was filmed teaching how adulterous women should be stoned to death. The money has now been “paused” pending official inquiries.

Three other Muslim centres with a history of offering pulpits to extremist speakers have also received large sums, the JC can reveal.

Finsbury Park Mosque in north London, which hosted an Egyptian imam who pledged to “liberate” Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem from the “filth of the Jews”, received almost £300,000 from the Labour-controlled Islington Council between 2017 and 2022.

The mosque’s general secretary, Mohammed Kozbar, praised Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the wheelchair-bound founder of Hamas who was killed by Israeli missiles in 2004, as a “martyr” on a visit to Gaza in 2015.

Lewisham Islamic Centre in south London, whose chief imam Shakeel Begg once called on young Muslims to “go to Palestine and fight the Zionists”, was given £540,000 between 2015 and 2020, in what its accounts describe as “local authority grants”.

Following the revelations, Communities Secretary Michael Gove and Home Secretary Suella Braverman are demanding tighter “due diligence” checks by both central and local government, the JC understands.

A government source said: “All parts of government including councils are responsible for spending public money appropriately, so they must be far more careful about the organisations they support.

“It’s appalling that mosques and other religious organisations in receipt of taxpayer funding have provided platforms for extremist preachers to spread vile messages of hate.

“We will be taking action to improve due diligence and seek to exclude organisations that fail to deliver their responsibilities effectively.”

The measures that are being considered include a requirement that before granting public funds, both central and local government agencies must check with the Home Office and Levelling-Up departments for evidence that the recipient has sponsored extremism.

A High Court judge found that Begg, who has been imam of the Lewisham Islamic Centre since 1998, promoted “violence in support of Islam” during his failed libel action against the BBC in 2016.

Michael Adebolajo, who murdered Private Lee Rigby in a London street in 2013, was a member of his congregation, although Begg said the killing left him “appalled” and went against Islamic teaching.

In 2021, Begg attended an event at the Lewisham mosque where a speaker expressed support for rocket attacks on Israel, and was praised by the imam as “inspiring”.

Lewisham Council, which is Labour-controlled, claims to have no record of the £539,418 shown as being given to Begg’s mosque in its accounts.

Lewisham Islamic Centre’s 2022 annual report includes an endorsement by local Labour MP Ellie Reeves saying it does “absolutely brilliant work for the Lewisham community” and another by the borough’s mayor, Damian Egan, who described it as “a source of guidance, community and friendship”.

In early August the Department of Media, Culture and Sport (DCMS) was reported to have given £2.2 million towards a scheme run by the Green Lane Masjid in the Small Heath area of Birmingham….

The United States State Department has approved a weapons sale to Germany in order for the European nation to strengthen its air force.

🇺🇸🤝🇩🇪 – The #Pentagon: The State Department has approved a possible arms deal for #Germany, including air-to-air missiles, worth $2.9 billion. pic.twitter.com/d9amt3qwrb

The $2.9 billion foreign military sale will include 969 AIM-120C-8 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAMs) along with supporting equipment according to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency. The agency notified Congress of the approval of the deal on Wednesday.

The deal will also include training missiles, telemetry kits, spare parts for the missiles, and transportation support along with “other related elements of logistical and program support,” according to Defense News. The deal is aimed at “bolstering the security of the NATO ally and promote political and economic stability in Europe.”

This deal is one among a number of major arms sales that the Biden administration has approved with European nations recently. Those sales include the $605 million deal with Sweden that was announced in early July. Sweden, a country also attempting to join NATO, will receive 250 AMRAAMs.

The Pentago also announced a $203 million deal with France to sell the nation Hellfire missiles, and a potential $105 million deal with Romania to modernize its 32 F-16 jets.

According to Breitbart News, ever since the Russia invasion of Ukraine, European nations have been approaching the United States, along with other arms dealers, with a “shopping list of arms” seeking to enhance their militaries.

All the deals are now pending approval from Congress. If approved, they will enter the final stage of price and quantity negotiations with the different nations.

The news of the latest deal comes after a NATO conference recently concluded in which the member nations discussed the admittance of Ukraine into the organization.

DR. STEVE TURLEY: Civil War ERUPTS in France!!!~French Politician States the Obvious: All the Rioters Had MUSLIM Immigrant Backgrounds

French Politician States the Obvious: All the Rioters Had Immigrant Backgrounds

BY HUGH FITZGERALD

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2023/07/french-politician-states-the-obvious-all-the-rioters-had-immigrant-backgrounds;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

In an appearance at the French National Assembly, Minister of the Interior Gerard Darmanin insisted that “only 10%” of the rioters were “foreign,” while 90% were “French citizens.” That may be true, but those 90% were French citizens only on their identity cards. By their mental makeup, they were still the Muslim migrants whom their fathers and grandfathers had been. They still refused, as citizens, to integrate into French society, still tried to milk the French welfare state of every conceivable benefit – free housing, free medical care, free education, unemployment benefits, family allowances, and more – that it offered. They still saw the world through the lens of Islam. French citizenship did not change their view that, as Muslims, they were the “best of peoples” and the French non-Muslims who had welcomed them into their midst and provided such largesse remained, as Infidels, “the most vile of created beings.”

More on the response to Darmanin’s claim can be found here: “French riots: Top politician says ‘of course there is a link between immigration’ and devastating riots across France,” by John Cody, Remix News, July 5, 2023:

In a video that has garnered over 1.5 million views on Twitter alone, the leader of the Les Republicans senate group, Bruno Retailleau, said that it is clear that immigrants, including second- and third-generation people with an immigration background, were responsible for the rioting that caused widespread destruction across the country.

“I heard that (French Interior Minister) Gerard Darmanin, yesterday at the National Assembly, said there is no link between these events and immigration. Of course there is… I’ve asked many mayors. They all tell you that it’s precisely in the neighborhoods where there are migratory [migrant] ghettos. Certainly, they are French, but they are French in their official identity, and, unfortunately, for the second, third generation (of immigrants), there’s a kind of regression back towards their ethnic origins,” said Bruno Retailleau in an interview with FranceInfo.

The first generation of Muslim immigrants are actually more willing to try to fit in, so grateful are they for what the French state provides, than those who come after. It is the second and third generations of Muslim migrants, secure in their French citizenship, who become more hostile to the French, religiously more devout, less willing to try to integrate with non-Muslims. Bruno Retailleau was simply pointing out what everyone knows but few dare say: that the rioters were almost entirely Muslims, and having been granted French citizenship made no difference in their behavior.

The remark came after French Interior Minister Gerard Darmanin stated on Monday that there was no connection between immigration and the riots in France, saying that 90 percent of those arrested were French citizens.

However, Retailleau countered the French interior minister’s claim, saying that these rioters may be French citizens, but they are also second- and third-generation migrants who have not integrated into French society, and they have presented a serious security problem.

Retailleau said he feared that politics will fail to address the root problems following the week-long riot that caused over €1 billion in damage.

“We know the causes. And I want to reiterate them. Unfortunately, I’m afraid the government is tempted by the politics of failure. Once more, the French, the silent majority do not understand that there is a cold anger that is rising in the country. Because it is a double punishment for the French, because they paid into the neighborhoods, and now they have to rebuild because the savages burned them down.”

Everyone — except the demented politicians on the far-left, in the party La France Insoumise, led by the quasi-communist Jean-Luc Melenchon – knows that the Muslims alone were responsible for the riots. And the French, knowing how much their government has spent – tens of billions of euros – on the Muslims, whether citizens or not – are now enraged that after more than one billion euros worth of destruction by the Muslims, it is they, the indigenous French, who will have to rebuild the very structures, replace the cars and businesses, restock the shops, that the Muslims vandalized, pillaged, and burned down.

He points out that there are also issues in the schools, and the justice system’s response to these perpetrators, especially those who are arrested as minors, is “inadequate.”

Retailleau knows that the insubordination of Muslim students in the schools continues unpunished. The teachers are afraid of them; they don’t dare touch on certain subjects, such as freedom of expression, or any discussion of Islam, lest they end up like Samuel Paty. The Muslim students refuse, for example, to study certain subjects, such as the French monarchy, the Crusades, and the two world wars, for they are indifferent to French history – it has nothing to do with them, even if they are French citizens – and are especially unwilling to learn about subjects, such as the Dreyfus Affair and, above all, about the Holocaust, that would naturally cause sympathy for the hated Jews.

Retailleau also noted that the idea to hate France came from the French themselves, stating: “I think we share some of the responsibility. We simply don’t believe in France ourselves, and we’ve often presented France as an anti-model, a counter-example. How can you make young people from immigrant backgrounds love France if you say that France is detestable?”

It is certainly true that all over the Western world, there is a failure of self-confidence, a crazed belief that we in the advanced world have done great historical wrongs – slavery, colonialism, imperialism – and thus owe “the others” something, and at the head of the list of those “others” are the Muslims.

The left was quick to accuse Retailleau of racism after his remarks.

This is a racist remark,” stated Manuel Bompard, the coordinator of the far-left party La France Insoumise.

One more time: Islam is not a race. Muslims are not a race. Islam is an ideology, one that is murderously hostile to non-Muslims. We see the dismal results everywhere that Muslims rule, and make life hell for Infidels who live in their countries. Con sider the treatment of the Copts in Egypt, the Chaldeans and Assyrians in Iraq, the Christians in Nigeria, and the Christians and Hindus in Pakistan, and Bangladesh.

Meanwhile, Communist Party MP Elsa Faucillon wrote on Twitter: that this is a “racialist thesis par excellence. The right is slipping a little more every day.”

The week-long riot produced 3,000 arrests, hundreds of wounded police officers, thousands of arson attacks, and historic landmarks, including the famed Alcazar Library [in Maraseille], nearly burned to the ground. In one case, a flaming vehicle was even sent into a mayor’s home, nearly killing his family.

Right-leaning and conservative parties have pointed out that very few ethnic French people have participated in the riots, and for the most part, those who have are migrants or the children or grandchildren of foreigners.

It is not the presence or absence of citizenship that defines the rioters, but the presence or absence of Islam. Retailleau dares to suggest this, and for that, the leftists of both La France Insoumise, and of the Communist Party, choose to condemn him, preposterously, as a “racist” spreading a “racialist thesis.” More and more of the French, recently mugged nation-wide by the reality of Muslim mobs, are listening to Retailleau and the Republicans – the party of Marine Le Pen — with greater approval than they ever have before. More of the French are at last coming to their senses. Not a moment too soon.

EU reaches deal on ‘more equitable refugee hosting,’ Poland and Hungary refuse

History is repeating itself, after nearly a decade of the EU flinging its doors open to illegal (mostly Muslim) migrants, at the expense of taxpayers and the security of its member nations. The EU has now “reached a deal” for its members to “share hosting” of illegals “who mainly arrive in countries on the bloc’s outer rim, like Italy and Greece.” This is because Italy and Greece oppose illegals swarming in from Africa. Nothing is different about this EU's latest deal from its past attempts to force migrant quotas on member countries.

Yet again, it is Poland and Hungary that refuse to agree to the new deal. And so yet again, those countries will be targeted by the EU. Globalists are relentless in their efforts to overturn the rule of law and destroy the traditions of Western society, in their quest to create a utopian one-world government.

“EU reaches deal on more equitable refugee hosting,” by Manas Joshi, WION, June 9, 2023:

The European Union on Thursday (June 8) reached a deal on a revision of rules to share hosting of asylum seekers more equitably. The breakthrough was achieved after a fraught day of negotiations between European Union interior ministers in Luxembourg. Sweden, which currently holds the bloc’s rotating presidency, made the announcement of the agreement.

In order to go through, the deal needed approval from a majority of countries that represent at least 65 per cent of the bloc’s population. The agreement has come through after years of wrangling over asylum policy.

European interior affairs commissioner Ylva Johansson hailed a “hugely significant step” for the EU on migration.

“These are not easy decisions for everyone around the table, but they are historic decisions,” said German interior minister Nancy Faeser.

The proposal tabled at the meeting called for compulsory help between EU countries, but with an option of doing that in one of two ways.

EU countries face priority to share hosting of asylum seekers who mainly arrive in countries on the bloc’s outer rim, like Italy and Greece.

The agreement says that countries that refuse to host refugees would be required to pay 20,000 euros (USD 21,000) per person. The money will go to a fund managed by Brussels.

Poland and Hungary voted against the proposals, while Bulgaria, Malta, Lithuania and Slovakia abstained….

Italy declares state of emergency amid migrant invasion

Italy needs to do what Hungary has done: shut the door to illegal migration. It makes a mockery of a country’s immigration system, sending an open invitation to jump the queue, inviting in the worst criminal and jihadist elements, and is economically unsustainable in the long run. Italy’s problem is longstanding. In 2021, nonstop Muslim migrant landings in Lampedusa became a “situation is out of control.” Lampedusa remains the problem area, as well as the entire South coast of Sicily.

Ignoring the problem has not made it go away, and now Italy is under a state of emergency in hopes of stopping the hijrah.

“Italy declares state of emergency amid migration influx,” by Federica Pascale, EURACTIV, April 12, 2023:

Italy declared a nationwide state of emergency on Tuesday for the next six months following the exceptional increase in migrants continuously arriving via the Mediterranean routes.

On Tuesday, the Council of Ministers led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni (FDI/ECR) declared a national state of emergency on immigration after the Civil Protection and Sea Policies Minister Nello Musumeci proposed it. The decision also comes after a meeting between Musumeci and Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi.

The state of emergency will be financed with an initial €5 million in funding.

“Let’s be clear. The problem is not solved, the solution to which is linked only to a conscious and responsible intervention by the European Union”, Musumeci said after the government decided on the state of emergency.

“There is a condition of absolute emergency. It is not a new fact (…) It is a problem destined not to be exhausted for at least the next ten years”, the minister told Radio Anch’io, stressing the need to “neutralise the mafia of the scapegoats”.

Last February, the Italian parliament approved the so-called ‘Code of Conduct for NGOs’ – a government decree establishing a code of conduct for ships intervening to rescue migrants – despite criticism from the UN and humanitarian groups.

Migration flows in recent months have strained State structures, according to Musumeci, who called for a “responsible approach” towards migrants and their rights.

In particular, the minister highlighted the difficulty in managing the flows arriving at the islands – Lampedusa and the entire southern coast of Sicily – areas where first reception hotspots are constantly collapsing.

The Easter weekend was busy for national authorities, with boats breaking down and migrants at sea whereby about 2,000 people were rescued….

Iran warns Europe: Designating Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps a terrorist group ‘declaration of war’

Iran’s threat presents a big dilemma for Western leaders, as Iran is the most powerful Shia country in the world, and Western leaders are still willfully blind to the fact that one cannot separate politics from mainstream Islam. Sharia is divine law. For mainstream Muslims, no law in the world transcends it. The Sharia is both religious and political. But if one believes that Islam is a religion of peace and not a political system, then how can one declare the world’s most prominent Shia regime’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is a terrorist group? Particularly when the IRGC serves the function of defender of the Islamic Republic.

‘National Decision’ Declaration On Iran’s Islamic Revolution Day: ‘We Warn The European Countries Not To Make An Historic Mistake By Declaring The IRGC Terrorist – Because We [Would] See This As A Declaration Of War On The Iranian Nation; In Such A Case, They Will Be Forced To Meet The IRGC At Strategic Straits And In Difficult Regions,’” MEMRI, March 13, 2023:

The Iranian regime mouthpiece Kayhan published, on February 12, 2023, the text of the “National Decision” declaration that was read out at the end of the Islamic Revolution Day march in Tehran the previous day. The declaration was featured on the front page, next to coverage of the marches across the country.

Kayhan wrote: “Yesterday, 44 years after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the people took to the streets chanting ‘Death to America’ more gloriously than ever, and showed more clearly than before that they love [Supreme] Leader [Ali Khamenei] and the revolution.”

The National Decision declaration glorified the Quran and the two leaders of Iran’s Islamic Revolution – Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the revolution, and his successor Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader. Both of them, it said, had restored the grandeur of Islam as rightful leader of humanity, a task undertaken by Iran. It reiterated absolute acceptance of Khamenei’s leadership, and his many acts of grace in the face of those participating in the widescale civil protests against him and his regime in the past months. Emphasizing hostility towards the “Satanic front” – i.e. the West, led by the U.S. – and its culture and liberal values, particularly with regard to women, it expressed support for the resistance front’s struggle against Israel and against the Arab countries that are Iran’s rivals, and for “strengthening Iran’s strategic depth.” The National Decision also included a warning to the European countries not to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, and threatened the West with operations in “strategic straits” and other regions.

The following is a translation of the Iranian regime’s National Decision declaration:

“Praise and thanks be to God, who brought the Quran to light up our path and the great blessing of the Prophet of Mercy [Mohammad] and his supporters [the Shi’ites] to guide us in passing through the darkness of ignorance, so that we will be able to actualize the good and desirable life of sacrifice to the Kingdom of God, which brings human happiness. [All] this is by grasping the strong rope and turning to the guides of revelation [i.e. the founder of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, and his successor Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei].

“With endless gratitude that at the height of modern ignorance, when the world has become full of regimes of heresy, of polytheism, and of tyranny, we are privileged to be present in the era of the great Khomeini, the reviver of the pure Islam and the awakener of the people who descend into sin, and in the era of the great man [Khamenei] from the same seminary as the wise elder [Khomeini], the candle of whose existence warms, like the blazing sun, the existence of the oppressed and barefoot, and who led to the increasing authority of Islamic Iran, and instilled disappointment in the camp of the arrogance [the West, led by the U.S.].

“The school of pure Islam that gives life [i.e. the Shi’ite Islamic Revolution] was trapped in the damage of ignorance of history and caught up in misinterpretations and misperceptions that were sometimes specific, revived itself by virtue of the guidance of the enlightened elder [Khomeini], and [continues to do so] today by virtue of the leadership of the Supreme Leader of the Muslims of the world [i.e. Khamenei]. We owe the continuation of the glorious Islamic revolution and Iran’s stable peace and security to the struggle and heroic deeds of the martyrs [during] the Iran-Iraq war, to the martyrs who defended ‘the holy places’ [i.e. the Iranian soldiers sent to Syria], particularly the commander of hearts, the martyr Haj Qassem Soleimani [the late IRGC Qods Force commander killed by the Americans in January 2020], to the martyrs [working in] health and security, and to the patience of their families. We believe that in the second phase of the revolution, the new foundations of the great Islamic civilization are being laid by emphasizing the discourse of the promised happiness that has no substitute and that grants identity.

“Now, on Revolution Day, after [44 years] of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, with the motto ‘Iran is strong, 44 years of honor,’ at the end of the national and glorious march of today that is an expression of the coalescence of determination and unity of the word and solidarity of the Muslim nation of Iran, we declare loudly, with ‘Allah akbar [God is great], Khamenei is the leader,’ the following:

“We, the nation of velaya [i.e. the rule of the jurisprudent, Khamenei], consider him the most precious legacy of the Imam Khomeini. Today, more than ever, the light of his existence is difficult for Satans, bats, and people of darkness and ignorance…..

Trump: ‘We Are at the Brink of World War III’

Trump: 'We Are at the Brink of World War III'

Donald Trump formally kicked off his 2024 campaign on Saturday, blitzing the states of South Carolina and New Hampshire — the first two states on the Republican primary calendar in 2024.

Trump may not have wanted to begin his formal campaign for president so soon. But others, including the man who might be his most dangerous rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, may have forced his hand. Trump is still ahead in the polls, but DeSantis has begun to surge and in some early states — specifically, New Hampshire — DeSantis is ahead. A University of New Hampshire survey released this week showed DeSantis leading Trump 42% to 30%.

Trump is experienced enough to know that these early polls don’t mean anything. The real tests will come in the early primaries.

Meanwhile, Trump has a Democrat to bury. Joe Biden may be the absolutely worst man to serve as president when Vladimir Putin is rattling his nuclear weapons.

“Through weakness and incompetence, Joe Biden has brought us to the brink of World War III,” Trump said. “We’re at the brink of World War III, just in case anybody doesn’t know it. As president, I will bring back peace through strength.”

Meanwhile, Biden keeps poking the Russian bear counting on Russian President Vladimir Putin not to lash out and start a world war.

NBC News:

He called Biden’s botched American pullout from Afghanistan in 2021 “the lowest day in the history of our country” and claimed that if he were president, there would be “a peace deal negotiated within 24 hours” to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

He blamed Biden for border crossings and drug deaths, repeating his 2015 assertion that Mexico is sending “killers,” “murderers” and “rapists” to the U.S.

“They are sending people that are killers, murderers, they’re sending rapists. And they’re sending, frankly, terrorists, or terrorists are coming on their own, and we can’t allow this to happen,” Trump said.

But it’s the DeSantis vs. Trump cage match that will dominate the political conversation over the next year or more. And on Saturday, Trump had plenty to say about his main GOP rival.

Politico:

On Saturday, Trump took his sharpest swings at DeSantis to date, accusing the governor of “trying to rewrite history” over his response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Trump said DeSantis, who has been openly skeptical about government efforts to vaccinate people against the virus, “promoted the vaccine as much as anyone.” He praised governors who did not close down their states, noting that DeSantis ordered the closure of beaches and business in some parts of the state.

“When I hear that he might [run] I think it’s very disloyal,” Trump said.

As for the polls showing DeSantis beating him in key nominating states, Trump was dismissive.

“He won’t be leading, I got him elected,” he said. “I’m the one that chose him.”

For some Republicans, it comes down to which candidate is more likely to attract a broad cross-section of American voters and prevail against Biden. To answer that, Trump brought the house down in New Hampshire with some of his policy prescriptions.

During his speech in New Hampshire, Trump doled out red meat to a friendly crowd. The crowd roared with applause when he said that, if elected, he would “eliminate federal funding for any school that pushes critical race theory or left-wing gender ideology,” and support “direct election of school principals by the parents.”

His speech in New Hampshire echoed policy prescriptions he has released over the past several weeks in the form of video addresses, on issues such as education and protecting Social Security and Medicare. His team has seen those pronouncements as a way to maneuver back onto the political stage without having to organize the signature rallies that defined Trump’s prior bids.

You can bet the farm that the Democrats and their radical allies will pull out all the stops to smear Trump — but only after he wins the nomination. It’s plain that the Democrats would much rather face Trump in a general election, having beaten him once already. But Republican voters will make the final determination about who the Democrats face, and whether it’s Trump or not, they have a miserable record to defend.

EU rebrands pedophiles ‘People with a Sexual Interest in Children’

The Scotland police recently referred to pedophiles as “minor-attracted people.” Many expressed outrage over this attempt to normalize the abuse of children. Now comes this.

The West is sinking deeper and deeper into a kafkaesque mix of socialism and depravity, while the Churches remain largely silent instead of protecting Judeo-Christian values and innocent children.

The “EU project’s use of the term Minor-Attracted People (MAPs) to describe pedophiles” is causing a huge backlash. Let’s hope that those who are dissenting succeed in stopping this abuse. The European Commission “is funding the Drag Queen Shows across Europe,” which means taxpayers are funding it, with no say in where their money is going.

“‘Horrible Propaganda’ – EU Project Rebrands Paedophiles ‘People with a Sexual Interest in Children,’” by Peter Caddle, Breitbart, January 16, 2023:

A Member of the European Parliament (MEP) has accused the European Union of pushing “horrible propaganda” after a project described paedophiles as “people with a sexual interest in children”, accusing the bloc of seeking to rebrand them with a term that is both “more appealing and morally neutral”.

Cristian Terhes, a Romanian MEP who sits with the European Conservatives and Reformists group, has slammed the EU for allegedly pushing for the term “paedophile” to be replaced with something “more appealing and morally neutral”.

It comes after controversy surrounding an EU project’s use of the term Minor-Attracted People (MAPs) to describe paedophiles, despite the fact that the term is highly controversial, and seen by some as overly sympathetic towards predators.

However, despite the use of the term prompting huge backlash only last month, Terhes claims that the EU still seems to be trying to soften the language around paedophiles, with another EU project on child protection repeatedly referring to them as “people with a sexual interest in children”.

“I am shocked and appalled, in equal measure, that the European Commission was, until very recently… replacing the term ‘paedophile’ with the more appealing and morally neutral phrase of Minor Attracted Person,” Terhes alleged in comments to Breitbart Europe.

“They even intensified this horrible propaganda and are now talking of ‘people with a sexual interest in children’,” he continued.

“This attitude of the European Commission to soft soap an evil and criminal behaviour, like paedophilia, is dangerous and a threat to all children in Europe,” the public representative went on to say, calling for the project in question to be withdrawn by European Commission, currently led by Germany’s Ursula von der Leyen.

The Romanian MEP also took aim at the EU’s continued funding of drag queen shows for children, with the bloc giving financial support to drag projects in the likes of Germany, Spain, and Slovenia.

One project sponsored by the EU that took place in Berlin — titled ‘Drag It Up!’ — saw “38 young queer people” trained in the art of drag, with those involved being taught to put on makeup and wigs, walk in high heels, and implement “methods of blurring and exaggerating traditional binary gender roles”….

A Nest of Ninnies: UK Office of Budget Responsibility Declares More Migrants Help Spur Economic Growth

BY HUGH FITZGERALD

The nest of ninnies in the U.K. government keeps trying to convince an increasingly skeptical public that the steady stream of migrants – most of them Muslim and many of them illegal – now entering the U.K. – are a positive benefit to the economy, and hence the British, far from trying to limit immigration, should encourage it. This bizarre twist on the truth can be found here: “Cutting immigration means higher taxes,” by James Kirkup, The Spectator

Is it true that this largely Muslim immigration is a boon to the U.K.? We know that in the year ending (YE) in June 2022, the net international migration, which is the difference calculated between immigration and emigration within the same period, was estimated at 504,000, an increase of 331,000 compared with the YE June 2021 figure of 173,000. This is a colossal increase. The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) seems to think that is a Good Thing.

‘Only the higher-than-expected numbers of migrants coming to the UK under the post-Brexit migration regime adds materially to prospects for potential output growth over the coming five years relative to the assumptions that we made in March.’

That’s from the Office for Budget Responsibility’s (OBR) assessment accompanying the Autumn Statement. It’s a pretty striking line: the state’s official analyst of the public finances says that the only good thing to happen to the UK economy since March is higher immigration.

Here, I can only say something rather childish: I told you so. No doubt this immigration outlook will make some people unhappy. Justifiably, too. It isn’t what they were promised, at least by the current Home Secretary. Suella Braverman said she wants net migration to fall below 100,000 – though to be fair, she said that as part of the Truss government in October.

James Kirkup belongs to that small group of Conservatives who have convinced themselves that migration has been an economic boon for the U.K. Fortunately, the majority of Conservatives take a much less sanguine view of the migrant invasion.

We need to ask a few questions of these British enthusiasts of migration. Are they aware that more than three-quarters of the migrants now flooding into the U.K. are Muslims? Are they aware that many Muslim migrants in the U.K. are not true asylum seekers, as they claim to be, but rather, economic migrants, determined to take advantage of all the generous benefits that the British government — that is, the British taxpayer – offers? Among those benefits are subsidized or free housing, free medical care available from the National Health Service, free education, and family allowances that increase with each child (Muslim families are much larger than those of the indigenous British, and derive the greatest benefit from this support), and unemployment benefits even without ever having been employed. The amount the National Health spends on Muslims is unusually high, it needs to be pointed out, because of the prevalence of congenital ailments among Muslims. This is the result of inbreeding, with marriages between cousins being encouraged. In a low-trust culture, it makes sense to keep marriages, and hence property, within the extended family.

Muslims who feel the need to supplement those benefits sometimes turn to crimes of property – robbery, and burglary. Muslims exhibit an unusually high rate of criminality; they make up 4% of the U.K. population, but 20% of the prison population. To the costs of all those benefits that Muslim economic migrants take full advantage of, we must add the cost of their high rates of criminality. This criminal activity requires that more government money be spent on police, detectives, prosecutors, court-appointed lawyers, prosecutors, judges, prison guards, and prisons. This all adds up to a very great sum, though, as far as I can tell, no one has actually calculated the precise cost to the British government of the economic benefits that Muslim migrants lay claim to, being content to simply note that annually, it runs into the billions of dollars. The average cost to the British government of incarcerating a single prisoner is $75,000, with rapists, murderers, and terrorists requiring the highest security, which makes them the most expensive to incarcerate. Muslims constitute close to one-quarter of the rapists and murderers in British prisons, and nearly all of those convicted of terrorism in the last twenty years (there is still a handful of aging IRA men in UK prisons).

Adding the cost of all the government benefits Muslim migrants take full advantage of to the cost of arresting, putting on trial, and then incarcerating Muslim criminals, gives us an annual figure of tens of billions of dollars. And this is only the economic cost. There are other great costs to society, not susceptible to measurement. What kind of dollar or pound figure do we assign to the damage done to many thousands of English girls, the victims of Muslim grooming gangs in two dozen English cities, who were seduced, given drinks and drugs, and then passed around to be shared as sexual objects? We cannot put a dollar figure on the despair and human ruin that the Muslim grooming gangs in the U.K. have caused, but that does not mean that despair and ruin aren’t real.

How do we put an economic value on the increased sense of insecurity felt by British women in some neighborhoods where they used to think nothing of going out at night alone? Muslims have been known to prey on Infidel women, whose dress suggests to Muslims that they “are just asking for it”? What about the anxiety felt by Jews who know that if they wear identifiable Jewish dress – kippahs and Star-of-David pendants, not to mention shtreimels and tallit worn by Hasidim going to the shul — they can expect at some point to be attacked by Muslims, not only in London, Manchester, and Birmingham, but also in Paris, Rome, and even New York? And what is the negative value we assign to the appearance of No-Go neighborhoods, where a dominant population of Muslim migrants makes outsiders – the indigenous non-Muslims whose country these migrants have invaded – distinctly unwelcome, and even the police and firemen do not enter without protection?

So let’s go back to that report by the OBR that prompted this piece, the report titled: “The U.K. Office of Budget Responsibility declares that more migrants help spur economic growth.”

Just one question. What are those people at the U.K. Office of Budget Responsibility smoking?
