Can Germany put the Muslim Genie back in the bottle?

It’s doubtful even if the New York Times says German leaders are working on it….

Before even reading this below, go here, and have a look at the UN High Commissioner for Refugee’s interactive map which shows the daily flow of migrants into Europe.  It is absolutely fascinating to see! 7,315 were crossing into Germany from Austria just yesterday alone!  Two days before that (on Wednesday) it was 9,930.

And, so how do Germany’s politicians plan to get the message out to those on the move, and do they really think that even if the thousands arriving daily on Europe’s shores are going to hear the news (do they read the NYT?), what are the odds that they are going to say oopsie! and turn around?  See ‘Is the end nigh?’

From the NYT:

BERLIN — The German government is considering restoring controls on Syrian refugees arriving here after fleeing war in their homeland, and will significantly tighten rules allowing refugees to bring their families here, the Interior Ministry said on Friday.

The announcement followed weeks of mounting doubt about whether Germany has the capacity to handle almost 800,000 refugees who have arrived so far this year and who could total more than a million by year’s end.

Chancellor Angela Merkel and her government have come under fire at home and abroad, accused of triggering the influx of refugees from Syria and elsewhere when the German office overseeing migration said in August that it would no longer check Syrian arrivals. Those pursuing asylum had already been arriving in Central Europe in ever-increasing numbers earlier in the summer, but the pace quickened after that statement.

George Soros: Europe Must Take in One Million Muslim Migrants a Year

We told you about the role of Hillary pal George Soros here the other day.  But, since everyone is talking about it, be sure to see Soros’ manifesto on how to bring down European borders forever.

Out of his own mouth (hat tip: Skip).  The asylum seekers are the victims!

The European Union needs to accept responsibility for the lack of a common asylum policy, which has transformed this year’s growing influx of refugees from a manageable problem into yet another political crisis. Each member state has selfishly focused on its own interests, often acting against the interests of others. This precipitated panic among asylum seekers, the general public, and the authorities responsible for law and order. Asylum seekers have been the main victims.

[….]

First, the EU has to accept at least a million asylum-seekers annually for the foreseeable future. And, to do that, it must share the burden fairly – a principle that a qualified majority finally established at last Wednesday’s summit.

Adequate financing is critical. The EU should provide €15,000 ($16,800) per asylum-seeker for each of the first two years to help cover housing, health care, and education costs – and to make accepting refugees more appealing to member states.

By the way, for those of you thinking that Soros is an old man and we don’t have to deal with him for much longer, remember he has children who I am told are ready to continue his ‘legacy.’

Go here to see a 2013 post we wrote and see Soros, son Jonathan and David Miliband (former British Foreign Secretary who heads one of our nine major resettlement contractors) at awards ceremony for Soros.  You (the American taxpayer) give over $300 million to the International Rescue Committee which honors Soros who works day and night to destroy borders around the world!

Hillary’s Soulmate George Soros behind Muslim invasion of Europe

See also news about Soros’ handbook for Muslim invaders to Europe, here.

From Bloomberg Business:

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban accused billionaire investor George Soros of being a prominent member of a circle of “activists” trying to undermine European nations by supporting refugees heading to the continent from the Middle East and beyond.

“His name is perhaps the strongest example of those who support anything that weakens nation states, they support everything that changes the traditional European lifestyle,” Orban said in an interview on public radio Kossuth. “These activists who support immigrants inadvertently become part of this international human-smuggling network.”

Rights groups have criticized Orban for building a razor-wire fence on the border, tightening asylum laws and boosting his support among voters with anti-immigrant rhetoric. Soros, who was born in Hungary and is one of the biggest philanthropists in eastern Europe via his foundations and university, gives grants to organizations that provide legal assistance to asylum seekers.

Soros said in an e-mailed statement that a six-point plan published by his foundation helps “uphold European values” while Orban’s actions “undermine those values.”

And remember Hillary and the girls share much of the blame for the ‘Invasion of Europe’ from Libya.

Hate Mail: “People will rise up and make sure that your kids are raped”

I received this wise missive from a “Seana Fenner,” Odinia@outlook.com. Once again we see how magnanimous and perceptive our moral superiors really are — as if it were Jews, and not Leftist multiculturalists, who were presiding over the migrant influx that hails the demise of free societies in Europe.

Note also the unconscious racism, as if it is somehow worse to be raped to death by blacks than by anyone else. In any case, for a certain kind of Leftist, and a certain kind of Islamic supremacist, everything is the Jews’ fault. Everything.

Dear Robert,

As a student of history, I am curious. You and I both know Jews have been expelled for committing monstrous crimes many times, but in this case Jews are preying upon practically ever country with central banking fraud, and on European heritage countries in particular with mass non European immigration and the like, and one wonders, in the sense of parallels of history, what might happen. How long do you think it will be until Jews like you are expelled, not just from one country but from all countries, for your crimes? Do you figure you have 10-20 years, 5 years, more or less? Do you think you will just be expelled or do you suppose that people will rise up and make sure that your kids are raped to death by blacks or otherwise tortured and killed in front of you, in other words, that all of you will meet the same sort of fate as your victims at Dresden, Holodomor, or Palestine? Just curious… Do you actually think you will get away with it or do you plan to flee?

Regards,
S. Fenner

Human Cockroaches on the Move

Never in our lifetime, not even during World War II, have the people of Planet Earth seen the potential for more human misery than they are now witness to.  In Europe, the black peoples of Africa and the Muslims of the Middle East, Pakistan, and Afghanistan… many of them escaping war and starvation, others brutal savages intent upon spreading Islamic extremism… stream across the international frontiers of Britain, France, Germany, and other European countries.

All across the Middle East and Africa, we see daily reports of what passes for justice in their brutal primitive cultures.  We see gang rapes administered as punishment; we see ritual beheadings of enemy captives; we see women, some as young as eight or nine years of age, kidnapped and sold into sex slavery; we see rape victims buried up to their necks and stoned to death; we see captured soldiers doused with gasoline and publicly burned to death; and we see prisoners locked in steel cages and submerged in tanks of water.  In short, we are now witness to the most unimaginable variety of human cruelty and depravity at the hands of radical Islamists.

In Israel, we see young Palestinian Arabs roaming the streets of Jerusalem, attacking and stabbing Israeli pedestrians at random.  We see Palestinians driving automobiles onto sidewalks, running down Israelis waiting at bus stops.  And when Israeli police are attacked with knives and are shot to death, Obama administration officials charge the Israelis with “overreacting.”

Even here, in the streets of America, we see riots, looting, and senseless murder.  We see police officers targeted for assassination, for no other reason than that they wear a badge and a gun and they represent civil authority.  Gangs of young black men select victims at random and draw lots to see who will be given the opportunity to knock the victim unconscious with a single punch.  In major cities across the country dozens of young black men are senselessly murdered each week by other young black men.  Meanwhile, school administrators are sued because they refuse to provide prayer facilities for Muslims, even though school policy prohibits any and all religious activity by Christians, Jews, and others.  In our military, field grade officers by the hundreds are driven into retirement because they disagree with the military decisions of a commander in chief who himself refused to wear the uniform of the U.S. military.

In short, the human cockroaches of the world are on the move.  They want what we have, they want to live where we live, and they’re not about to take “no” for an answer.  Unfortunately, most European heads of state are still convinced that multiculturalism is a long term positive development for their economies.  Millions of refugees abandon the refugee camps of Syria, Iraq, Gaza, and Turkey, straggling westward toward Germany and Austria, while hundreds of thousands more sail from North Africa across the Mediterranean to Spain, Italy, Austria, and Germany.  Some are families seeking safety from the ravages of ISIS and the Islamic caliphate; some are terrorist’s intent upon destabilizing the nations of Europe and subjugating their people; while many more seek nothing more than to live off the generous social welfare programs of America and the European socialist states.

On September 3, 2011, Oskar Freysinger, of the Christian Democratic People’s Party of Switzerland, a member of the Swiss parliament, addressed some very important thoughts to a Berlin audience… thoughts that Germans and other Europeans should have heeded when they still had a chance to do so.  Freysinger said:

“The dhimmi (a non-Muslim living as a second-class citizen in an Islamic state) attitude of Europeans sustained a wound which must not heal over if the millennia-old European civilization is to survive, for Europe is more than a plot of land, more than a continent, more than the sum of its countries.  Europe is an idea, a cultural landscape, an intellectual space shaped by history.  Europe is the cradle of the modern constitutional state, the treasure-house of human rights, of freedom of opinion and expression.

“This is ever more strongly endangered by the possibility that our political elite will bend their necks before a (Muslim) religious dogma that is alien to our intellectual history, our values, and our constitutional state.  This dogma is gnawing away at the pillars of our system of laws, wherever it is allowed some space.  This dogma demands total obedience from its followers…

“They are in no case to integrate into our value system.  That would be like treason and can even be punished with death.  They are expected to conquer our intellectual home, make the Western world subject.  My dear friends… we are not fighting against people, we are fighting for people! We are fighting against a dogma that is anathema to every aspect of humanity…  If we lose this battle, there will be no second chance, for Islam does not give back what it has conquered.”

In a statement published on the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) website, Khudayr Taher, an Iraqi Shiite living in the United States, suggests that, “Countries have the right to protect themselves and assure their citizens’ safety from terrorism.  Likewise, it is clear that the source of the terrorist crimes in Europe and America is the Muslims who live in those countries…”  Taher argues that, since it is impossible to sort out the good Muslims from the bad, those countries should “deport all Muslims, of all races, from Europe and America… ”

Some European countries are beginning to deport Muslims on a selective basis.  Across Europe, where multiculturalism has for years been seen as a laudable goal, Muslim immigrants see themselves as a “conquering army,” for which European women are simply the “spoils of war.”  For Muslims, it makes perfect sense because that attitude is in full accordance with Islamic law.  Western women are not regarded as individuals, but as “their women,” the women who belong to hostile infidels.  They see western women as “cheap and offensive.”

Aleteia, the worldwide Catholic network, reports that, “Over the past three years, France has

deported 40 foreign imams for “preaching hatred.”  The news service quotes French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve as saying, “We cannot lose this war because it’s fundamentally a war of civilization.  It’s our society, our civilization that we are defending.”  Cazeneuve has made it clear that any “foreign preacher of hate will be deported,” and that any mosque found to be inciting terrorism “will be shut down.”  Since January 2015, the French have investigated 22 reported cases of radical preaching.  In 10 of those cases imams have been deported.

In short, it is time for western democracies, particularly Great Britain and the United States, to conclude that Islam is incompatible with cultures built on Judeo-Christian principles and that, as such, it is not possible for Islamists to ever integrate into western cultures.  Instead, they must be banished/quarantined forever to majority Muslim nations.  As the French Interior Minister has made clear, we cannot afford to lose this war because nothing less than civilization is at stake.

Most of the outrages committed by Muslims can be managed if only political leaders will abandon political correctness and act with a firm hand.  A video now circulating on the Internet, set to the tune of the John Denver song, “Leaving on a Jet Plane,” is a thought-provoking hint of things to come.  The video first informs us that the world’s largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A380, can seat up to 830 passengers in economy class configuration.  The video goes on to explain that, with an average of ten flights per day for an entire year, the British could deport every one of their 2.87 million Muslims, sending them off with one-way tickets to destinations of their choice in the Muslim world.

As the video explains, European countries such as Great Britain and Germany, countries that have opened their doors to unfettered Muslim immigration, are now facing a catch-22 situation.  They will one day be forced to choose between the ultimate civil war that all nations with large and expanding Muslim populations eventually face, or they must give serious consideration to ridding themselves of their Muslim populations while it is still possible to do so.  It is a solution that more and more leaders western leaders are beginning to embrace.

We are told that only 5% of the world’s 1.4 billion Muslims are radicalized.  But before we sit back and say, “Whew!! I’m sure glad to hear that,” let’s first do a bit of arithmetic.  Five percent of 1.4 billion comes to roughly 70 million suicide bombers, child rapists, wife-beaters, and other types of Islamist murderers.  Since it is impossible for radical Islamists to ever live in a civilized world, and since non-radicalized Muslims are not anxious to see their families butchered and otherwise brutalized before their very eyes, they say nothing; they do nothing.  Because of their cowardice they are just as undesirable as their religion-crazed friends, families, and neighbors.

Americans and Europeans will do whatever is necessary to deal with the humanitarian crisis that is now flowing across our borders.  But we are not obligated by our humanity to submit to the total desecration of our western cultures and religious traditions.  Instead, we have not only a right, but a solemn obligation to see to it that our people are protected from the horrors of radical Islam.  We must resolve that the problems that drive masses of illegal immigrants and asylum-seekers out of Africa, the Middle East, Mexico, and Central America into Europe and North America are their problems… not ours.  Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the indigenous populations of those troubled nations to solve their own problems.  When the present dangers are past, they must pack up and return to their home countries.

Islamists will never willingly assimilate into our western cultures.  Hence, as Khudayr Taher has suggested, it’s time we started deporting all Muslims… men, women, and chidren… to the Islamic destination of their choice.  The deportation of radical Islamist preachers is now beginning in some of the most unlikely places and it’s never too early for the United States and Great Britain to join the parade.  The human cockroaches of the world are on the move and it’s time we called in the exterminators.  Let the exodus begin.

Hungary PM: “Islam was never part of Europe. It’s the rule-book of another world.”

Islam was never part of Europe, except as an invader bent on conquering and subjugating the native peoples. But now it is a different story, courtesy the weakness, fecklessness, and multiculturalist internationalism of European leaders. If trends continue, by the end of this century Islam will be Europe’s primary identifying characteristic.

“Islam was never part of Europe, says Hungary PM,” AP, October 17, 2015:

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban defended his hardline stance against refugees,the vast majority of whom are Muslim, saying in an interview published that Islam “has never been part of Europe”.

Speaking to Germany’s Focus news weekly about the record migrant influx, he said “the language of the European elite is ideological and dogmatic”.

“Islam has never been part of Europe,it came to us,” Orban told Focus in an interview to be published in full Saturday. He conceded that Germany’s Turkish migrants, who arrived in their tens of thousands from the 1960s for work,now “belong to German history and therefore Europe’s too”.

“But spiritually, Islam was never part of Europe.It’s the rulebook of another world,” said Orban.

He also hit out at France and Germany for refusing to countenance “any doubts” over a multicultural society.

“We in Hungary decide what we want or don’t want. We don’t want that,” he said.

Almost 600,000 people have arrived in Europe so far this year, with many of them heading for Germany and Sweden.

Orban asserted that most asylum seekers arriving in Europe are actually economic migrants. “Not everyone is entitled to a life in Germany or a life in Hungary.That’s only for those who have worked for it,” he said.

In the face of a historic surge in migrant arrivals, Hungary in September sealed its border with Serbia. Yesterday,it announced it had also completed a fence along the Croatian border.

Hungary’s use of fences and its treatment of migrants — including serious clashes on September 16 between police and migrants — has been sharply criticised, including by United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon.

Which means that Hungary’s use of fences and its treatment of migrants is entirely proper and correct.

Dutch citizens riot! Won’t stand by and watch cultural suicide!

Geert Wilders is right, Europe is being invaded and it looks like the average Dutchman is going to stand and fight.  The latest riot is over the Dutch government’s decision to give housing to refugees before Dutch citizens.  Here Wilders warns the Dutch Parliament about the Hijra—the Islamic migration to Europe.

Here is news from Michael van der Galien writing at Pajamas Media yesterday (hat tip: Judy):

Hundreds of thousands of self-proclaimed refugees from the Middle East (many of them are actually gold diggers who are coming to Europa in order to live off the government’s dime) have arrived in Europe in recent months. This mass exodus out of especially Syria has been partially fueled by German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s promise that her country would take in all the refugees it had to take in.

The only problem? She got more than she bargained for. Much more. And the same goes for the rest of Europe.

In fact, so many “refugees” have made their way to the Old Continent that West European governments are having a hard time dealing with them. In the Netherlands alone, refugee centers are overwhelmed. As a result, the Dutch government has now announced that many refugees with a residence permit will be moved into normal homes. This means that these newly arrived immigrants will live in houses originally meant for Dutch citizens. The latter may have been waiting on waiting lists for years, but to no avail; refugees are given priority.

Read it all, it is quite extraordinary!

And, btw, refugees in America are gobbling up government subsidized housing at a rapid rate leaving low income Americans and the disabled on long waiting lists for help.

From Samaa.TV:

BRATISLAVA: Thousands of people joined anti-migrant protests in three eastern European capitals on Saturday after leaders from the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia opposed an EU scheme to fix refugee quotas.

In the Polish capital Warsaw, nearly 5,000 people, many chanting anti-Islamic slogans, marched through the city, an AFP correspondent said. “Islam will be the death of Europe”, one of the banners said.

Organisers claimed the demonstration drew 10,000 people but police refused to confirm the figure.

“We’re here so that the government hears our voice and abandons any plans to welcome Muslims,” shouted one of the organisers after starting the march with prayers which identified the participants as Roman Catholics.

Members of far-right fringe parties and football supporters chanted “Poles against migrants” and “Migrants today, terrorists tomorrow”.

Muslim migrants fake being Syrian to claim European asylum

Leggeri said: “Faced with the influx, registration systems are overwhelmed. We have an idea of nationalities, but not a clear picture of who is entering and the real profile of these migrants.”

Indeed. How many jihadis are among them? No one knows, and many think it is “Islamophobic” to raise the question.

“Economic migrants FAKE being Syrian to claim EU asylum and head for Britain,” by Rebecca Perring, Express, September 10, 2015:

A huge influx of shameless migrants have lied about their nationality to be sure they have a better chance of crossing the European borders into countries including Britain and Germany.

And passports buried in bushes just metres away from Serbia’s border with Hungary provides evidence that migrant’s fleeing poverty are dumping their own documents and, instead, posing as refugees fleeing raging war and persecution in Syria as the surest route to asylum.

It comes after Prime Minister David Cameron announced the UK would accept up to 20,000 refugees from Syria over the next five years.

Mr Cameron suggested Britain would not be taking refugees currently making their way through the Balkan states or across the Mediterranean to Europe – but people from existing refugee camps in neighbouring countries such such as Turkey and Jordan.

Concerns over the regulation of registering migrants at the main entry points into Europe are growing amid the revelation dubious markets selling fake Syrian passports have sprung up across Turkey.

Serbian border police say that around 90 per cent of those arriving from Macedonia, around 3,000 per day, claim they are Syrian – although they have no documents to prove it.

Border police officer Miroslav Jovic said: “You can see that something is fishy when most of those who cross into Serbia enter January 1 as the date of their birth.

“Guess that’s the first date that comes to their mind.”

The head of Europe’s border agency Frontex said that trafficking in fake Syrian passports had increased.

Fabrice Leggeri called for more guards to help register migrants at the main entry points.

He said: “There are people who are in Turkey now who buy fake Syrian passports because they know Syrians get the right to asylum in all the member states of the European Union.

“People who use fake Syrian passports often speak Arabic. They may come from North Africa or the Middle East but they have the profile of economic migrants.”

Mr Leggeri added: “Faced with the influx, registration systems are overwhelmed. We have an idea of nationalities, but not a clear picture of who is entering and the real profile of these migrants.”…

Click on the image for a printable copy of the policy analysis.

The CATO Institute’s Michael D. Tanner and Charles Hughes in their comprehensive policy analysis titled “The Work versus Welfare Trade-Off: Europe” report:

If welfare benefits become too generous, they can create a significant incentive that encourages recipients to remain “on the dole” rather than to seek employment. Benefits in European Union (EU) countries vary widely, but in many of them, benefits are high relative to what an individual could expect to earn from a low-wage or entry-level job. For example, for a single parent with two children in 2013—

  • Welfare benefits in nine EU countries exceeded €15,000 ($18,200) per year. In six countries, benefits exceeded €20,000 ($24,300). Denmark offers the most generous benefit package, valued at €31,709 ($38,558).
  • In nine countries, welfare benefits exceeded the minimum wage in that country.
  • Benefits in 11 countries exceeded half of the net income for someone earning the average wage in that country, and in 6 countries it exceeded 60 percent of the net average wage income.
  • In Austria, Croatia, and Denmark, the effective marginal tax rate for someone leaving welfare for work was nearly 100 percent, meaning that a person would gain virtually no additional income from working. In another 16 countries, individuals would face an effective marginal tax rate in excess of 50 percent.
  • Benefits in the United States fit comfortably into the mainstream of welfare states. Excluding Medicaid, the United States would rank 10th among the EU nations analyzed, more generous than France and slightly less generous than Sweden. Thirty-five states offer a package more generous than the mean benefit package offered in the European countries analyzed.

Many European countries have recognized the problem and have begun to reform their welfare systems to create a better transition from welfare to work. In fact, the United States is falling behind some European countries with regard to welfare reform.

Countries that are serious about reducing welfare dependency and rewarding work should consider strengthening work requirements, establishing time limits for participation, and tightening eligibility. Perhaps more important, countries should examine the level of benefits available and the effective marginal tax rates their welfare systems create, with an eye toward reducing disincentives and encouraging work.

Islamic State: ‘Just wait’ we have smuggled 1000s of Muslim fighters into Europe

Just as it threatened to do. Authorities should not dismiss this claim lightly. After all, European officials are doing absolutely nothing to determine if there are jihadis among the refugees.

“‘Just wait…’ Islamic State reveals it has smuggled THOUSANDS of extremists into Europe,” by Aaron Brown, Express, September 6, 2015:

AN OPERATIVE working for Islamic State has revealed the terror group has successfully smuggled thousands of covert Jihadists into Europe.

The Syrian operative claimed more than 4,000 covert ISIS gunmen had been smuggled into western nations – hidden amongst innocent refugees.

The ISIS smuggler, who is in his 30s with a trimmed jet-black beard, revealed the ongoing clandestine operation is a complete success.

“Just wait,” he smiled.

The Islamic State operative spoke exclusively to BuzzFeed on the condition of anonymity and is believed to be the first to confirm plans to infiltrate western countries.

Islamic State, also referred to as IS and ISIS, is believed to be actively smuggling deadly gunmen across the sparsely-guarded 565-mile Turkish border and on to richer European nations, he revealed.

There are now more than 4,000 covert ISIS gunmen “ready” across the European Union, he claimed.

The operative said the undercover infiltration was the beginning of a larger plot to carry out revenge attacks in the West in retaliation for the US-led coalition airstrikes.

“If someone attacks me,” he said “then for sure I will attack them back.”

Islamic State extremists are taking advantage of developed nation’s generosity towards refugees to infiltrate Europe, he said.

The lethal ISIS gunmen use local smugglers to blend in and travel amongst a huge tide of illegal migrants flooding Europe.

More than 1.5million refugees have fled into Turkey alone – desperate to escape the bloodshed in Syria.

From Turkish port cities like Izmir and Mersin, thousands of refugees venture across the Mediterranean aiming for Italy, he said.

Then the majority make for more welcoming nations like Sweden and Germany, turning themselves over to authorities and appealing for asylum.

“They are going like refugees,” he said.

Two Turkish refugee-smugglers backed up the claims made by the ISIS Syrian operative.

One admitted to helping more than ten trained ISIS rebels infiltrate Europe under the guise of asylum seekers.

He said: “I’m sending some fighters who want to go and visit their families.

“Others just go to Europe to be ready.”

The Syrian operative, a former member of his nation’s security forces, said ISIS had ambitious plans ahead.

“It’s our dream that there should be a caliphate not only in Syria but in all the world,” he said “and we will have it soon, God willing.”

The Muslim Migration [Hijrah] Into Europe

In FrontPage today, I discuss how “refugees” are colonizing Europe.

Approximately 104,460 asylum seekers arrived in Germany during the month of August, setting a new record. That makes 413,535 registered refugees and migrants coming to Germany in 2015 so far. The country expects a total of around 800,000 people to seek asylum in Germany this year. And that’s just Germany. The entire continent of Europe is being inundated with refugees at a rate unprecedented in world history. This is no longer just a “refugee crisis.” This is a hijrah.

Hijrah, or jihad by emigration, is, according to Islamic tradition, the migration or journey of Muhammad and his followers from Mecca to Yathrib, later renamed by him to Medina, in the year 622 CE. It was after the hijrah that Muhammad for the first time became not just a preacher of religious ideas, but a political and military leader. That was what occasioned his new “revelations” exhorting his followers to commit violence against unbelievers. Significantly, the Islamic calendar counts the hijrah, not Muhammad’s birth or the occasion of his first “revelation,” as the beginning of Islam, implying that Islam is not fully itself without a political and military component.

To emigrate in the cause of Allah – that is, to move to a new land in order to bring Islam there, is considered in Islam to be a highly meritorious act. “And whoever emigrates for the cause of Allah will find on the earth many locations and abundance,” says the Qur’an. “And whoever leaves his home as an emigrant to Allah and His Messenger and then death overtakes him, his reward has already become incumbent upon Allah. And Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful.” (4:100) The exalted status of such emigrants led a British jihad group that won notoriety (and a shutdown by the government) a few years ago for celebrating 9/11 to call itself Al-Muhajiroun: The Emigrants.

And now a hijrah of a much greater magnitude is upon us. Evidence that this is a hijrah, not simply a humanitarian crisis, came last February, but was little noted at the time and almost immediately forgotten. The Islamic State published a document entitled, “Libya: The Strategic Gateway for the Islamic State.” Gateway into Europe, that is: the document exhorted Muslims to go to Libya and cross from there as refugees into Europe. This document tells would-be jihadis that weapons from Gaddafi’s arsenal are plentiful and easy to obtain in Libya – and that the country “has a long coast and looks upon the southern Crusader states, which can be reached with ease by even a rudimentary boat.”

The Islamic State did not have in mind just a few jihadis crossing from Libya: it also emerged last February that the jihadis planned to flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees. Now the number is shooting well beyond that in Germany alone. Of course, not all of these refugees are Islamic jihadis. Not all are even Muslims, although most are. However, no effort whatsoever is being made to determine the refugees’ adherence to Sharia and desire to bring it to their new land. Any such effort would be “Islamophobic.” Yet there are already hints that the Islamic State is putting its plan into effect: jihadis have already been found among the refugees trying to enter Europe. There will be many more such discoveries.

Eight hundred thousand Muslim refugees in one year alone. This will transform Germany, and Europe, forever, overtaxing the welfare economies of its wealthiest nations and altering the cultural landscape beyond recognition. Yet the serious public discussion that needs to be had about this crisis is shouted down by the usual nonsense: the Washington Post Wednesday published an inflammatory and irresponsible piece likening those concerned about this massive Muslim influx into Europe to 1930s Nazis ready to incinerate Jews by the millions. Hollywood star Emma Thompson accused British authorities of racism for not taking in more refugees – as if British authorities haven’t already done enough to destroy their nation.

And so it goes. If you don’t accept the brave new world that is sure to bring more jihad and more Sharia to Europe, you’re a Nazi and a racist. Meanwhile, no one is bothering even to ask, much less answer, one central question: why is it incumbent upon Europe have to absorb all these refugees? Why not Saudi Arabia or the other Muslim countries that are oil-rich and have plenty of space? The answer is unspoken because non-Muslim authorities refuse to believe it and Muslims don’t want it stated or known: these refugees have to go to Europe because this is a hijrah.

This is also Europe’s death knell.
