Voice of America/Omar Jamal have the inside scoop on travel agency raid

When it comes to Somalis in America, Omar Jamal IS the voice of America.   Regular readers will know I’m laughing as I write this.  Here we go again, this time it’s news about the feds raiding a Minnesota travel agency in connection with the case of the Somali missing youths who have returned to Somalia to participate in Jihad.   Omar Jamal ALWAYS has the inside scoop.  From the Voice of America:

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation searched the office of a Minnesota travel agency this week for clues to the disappearance of 20 Somali-American men believed to be fighting in Somalia’s civil war.

Omar Jamal, spokesman for the Somali Justice Advocacy Center, says the owner of Amana Travel was approached several months ago by two young men who wanted to travel to Somalia. Jamal says the owner, Ali Mohamud, refused to book the tickets when he learned the young men’s parents were unaware of their plans.

Welcoming Sweden a myth according to Christian Iraqis being denied asylum

Update August 12th:  More here from Stockholm News.

This is a story I would like to know more about.  We know that Sweden is having a terrible time with Muslim immigrants, but didn’t know the country was expelling Iraqi Christians.

More than two years after the Swedish Supreme Court of Migration decided there was no “inner armed conflict” in Iraq, and Sweden started the largest expulsion of any nationality that has ever taken place in the country, a Swedish Radio News investigation for SR’s Ekot uncovers the grim truth about the new asylum policies in Sweden. Unique documents, a hidden microphone and a whistle blower reveal a new Swedish asylum policy of which most people are unaware.

Sweden is known to be one of the most generous countries in the world in granting Iraqi asylum seekers refugee status. The government also pushes for all other EU Countries to adopt more generous policies when it comes to accepting particularly vulnerable Iraqi refugees, especially from the camps in the neighbouring countries of Iraq. At the same time SR News can reveal that Sweden at the same time has been returning other vulnerable Iraqis by force to Baghdad.

During three days – starting on the 10th of August – SR News will reveal more evidence of the new Swedish asylum policy.

For four months we have been interviewing 52 Iraqi citizens, all non-Muslim and most of them Christian Assyrians (also known as Chaldeans and Syriacs). These non-muslim minorities make up a large part of the Iraqi refugees in Sweden, maybe as much as 30-50 percent, although there are no official statistics.

Some of the asylum seekers are now forced into hiding to avoid being sent back to Iraq, a country where only half the number of the Christians and other non-Muslims from before 2003 remain. Few non-Muslim Iraqis have been willing to return voluntarily. Many Christians are also afraid of the new tensions between the Kurdish provinces and the Baghdad government, and that a rising conflict between the two will put the large minority of Christians residing in the Nineveh Plains directly on the fault line.

Read on.  There is more.

I would like to know how many Christians and how many Muslim Iraqis we take, but the State Department isn’t talking.

Rohingya sued to get into Japan; control-freaks advance agenda

This is a follow-up to my post last night updating our Rohingya Reports category.   B.L. sent this old story that brings two important issues together—Japan’s reluctance to dilute its unique culture and Rohingya Muslims agitating to get into first world countries.  It also allows me to vent again on my theory of what drives all this.

Here is the information from The Japan Times in 2007.  By the way, although RRW was up and running in the fall of 2007, we were not aware of the Rohingya campaign until January 2008, here.  Now we have over 70 posts in the Rohingya category if anyone wants to see how a public relations campaign of this sort evolves.

Seven members of a Myanmar ethnic minority appeared in court Wednesday to ask for asylum, saying they face severe persecution if forced to return there.

The people from the Rohingya ethnic minority are seeking in their lawsuit at the Tokyo District Court that the government revoke its denial of refugee status and grant them asylum in Japan. 

[….]

Taro Takahashi, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said many Myanmar natives seeking asylum in Japan have at times been detained for more than a year before obtaining provisional status. Winning recognition as a refugee has been difficult as well.

Myanmar people have filed 535 applications for refugee status since 1992, but only 132, including some Rohingyans, have been granted asylum, the plaintiffs’ lawyers said.

Recently I told you how Japan is being badgered by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to take significantly more refugees and asylees.

So who is driving nations to give up their unique cultures—mixing people up in a giant human blender?  It is a cabal of very powerful people who want to erase boundaries and govern the world with an authoritarian hand.   They are elitists and control-freaks who think they are smarter than the rest of us.

In order to demolish boundaries they need to dilute cultures, wipe out patriotism and move people around the world like so many herds of cattle.  One can’t possibly think that this little handful of Rohingya illegals found powerful legal representation on their own.   This is all orchestrated and Japan is a hold-out—a nation that hasn’t gotten with the program.

The puppeteers in all this are also statists (like Obama) who want to concentrate economic power into the hands of a highly centralized government.   UN bigwigs are probably licking their chops figuring they will be the all powerful dictators of all of our lives.   The immigrants (refugees and asylees) themselves are being used — friends of Obama, like Wade Rathke founder of ACORN and the SEIU, don’t give one minute of thought to the real needs of immigrants and the poor, they are only the pawns, the means to an end.  The angrier and poorer the immigrants are, the better.   The ends justify the means.

Two final points I want to make:

The statist control-freaks know how to use our desire to be decent humanitarians to cover their real agenda.    Have pity for the immigrant pawns, but don’t fall for the strategy.

And, in their collaboration with Islamists they make a grave error—Muslims want their own one world borderless government, but it is a very different one then the Leftwing/elitist/statist cabal hankers for.

Muslim Bangladesh tells Burma (Myanmar) to take its Muslim Rohingya back

You gotta laugh (well, at least I do) that here we have just another example of so-called Muslim charity.  Bangladesh, a Muslim country, is telling Burma to be neighborly and take its illegal immigrants, the Rohingya back.   From Reuters:

BANGLADESH has sought help from the UN refugee agency to repatriate thousands of Rohingya Muslims to Myanmar and stop the flow of illegal immigrants, officials said today.

Dhaka says there are about 28 000 living in camps near the Myanmar border, and another 400 000 scattered outside.

“The continuous flow of illegal entrants was causing huge damage to our scarce land, forest and other resources,” [Edit:  Interesting that even Bangladesh understands that large numbers of immigrants strain resources when even our own Sierra Club hasn’t figured that out yet!] Foreign Minister Dipu Moni said after a meeting with Raymond Hall, regional representative of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

Rohingyas, not recognised as an ethnic minority by Myanmar, allege human rights abuse by its authorities, saying they deprive Rohingya of free movement, education and rightful employment.

Moni urged the Myanmar authorities to take back the Rohingyas in the interest of good neighbourly relations.

Meanwhile, do you know what is even funnier?   Bengalis are coming to the US in large numbers—-illegally!  And becoming Jihadi terrorists to boot!

I haven’t had a Rohingya update in awhile.  For new readers we have a whole category on Muslim Rohingya since there is a lobbying campaign within the refugee industry to bring them to the US.  Some have already gone to Canada, the UK and Ireland.

CIS to hold panel discussion on immigrant impact on health care

Calling it the “Elephant in the Living Room,” the Center for Immigration Studies is holding this panel discussion next Wednesday, August 19th at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.

I knew that there was lots of controversy swirling around the issue of illegal immigrants and health care reform, but I had no idea the numbers of all immigrants, legal and illegal, who would need medical coverage if the Obama plan becomes law is so large.

WASHINGTON (August 10, 2009) – One out of three people in the U.S. without health insurance is an immigrant (legal or illegal) or the U.S.-born child (under 18) of an immigrant. Immigrants and their children also account for one-fourth of those on Medicaid. While there has been some discussion of whether illegal immigrants should be covered by proposed government insurance plans, the enormous impact of immigration, both legal and illegal, on the health care system has generally not been acknowledged in the current debate.

Looks like the discussion is open to the public, for more information go here.
