Italy: if it weren’t so tragic it would be funny

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

I just now wrote a post about why Europe was in deep trouble as it bends over backward to accommodate Shariah Law and along comes this little story from Italy.

From adnkronos:

Treviso, 22 August (AKI) – The second wife of a longterm Muslim immigrant in Italy has reported her husband to police after authorities allowed his first wife to join the household in the northern city of Treviso from Senegal [a largely Muslim country—ed].

The 45-year-old immigrant’s second wife, who has twin daughters of eight with him reportedly cannot countenance living with him, his second wife and their two sons of 15 and 16 with his first wife.

The man, who has lived in Italy for over a decade, runs little risk of prosecution for bigamy, however.

Under Italian law, bigamist long-term immigrants are allowed to bring more than one wife to live with them in their adoptive country provided they are ‘integrated’.

Whatever the hell “integrated” means!

Time running out for Europe: Muslim no-go zones spreading fast

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Here is a good post published at Hudson New York which actually lists the cities and sections of cities either already off limits to non-Muslims or those the Islamists are in the process of pushing toward Shariah Law.

Author Soeren Kern:

Islamic extremists are stepping up the creation of “no-go” areas in European cities that are off-limits to non-Muslims.

Many of the “no-go” zones function as microstates governed by Islamic Sharia law. Host-country authorities effectively have lost control in these areas and in many instances are unable to provide even basic public aid such as police, fire fighting and ambulance services.

The “no-go” areas are the by-product of decades of multicultural policies that have encouraged Muslim immigrants to create parallel societies and remain segregated rather than become integrated into their European host nations.

In Britain, for example, a Muslim group called Muslims Against the Crusades has launched a campaign to turn twelve British cities – including what it calls “Londonistan” – into independent Islamic states. The so-called Islamic Emirates would function as autonomous enclaves ruled by Islamic Sharia law and operate entirely outside British jurisprudence.

The Islamic Emirates Project names the British cities of Birmingham, Bradford, Derby, Dewsbury, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Luton, Manchester, Sheffield, as well as Waltham Forest in northeast London and Tower Hamlets in East London as territories to be targeted for blanket Sharia rule.

Read the whole article and its links.  Author Kern ends with this:

According to the Malmö-based Imam Adly Abu Hajar: “Sweden is the best Islamic state.”

Norway appears to be missing from this recitation.

So, why is this not happening in the US?  We hear a lot of b.s. about how Muslims integrate better into the US, but there are only two simple reasons it’s not happening yet—our Muslim population has not yet increased enough for them to pull this off.  And….we have people willing to protest and speak up against it!   Viva la Tea Party!

Majority of Europeans think there is too much immigration to most countries

Here is an article with links to several studies all confirming Europeans, for the most part, are unhappy with immigration, especially immigration from Muslim countries to Europe.

From Hudson New York:

A new opinion survey shows that more than half of all Europeans believe there are too many immigrants in their countries and that immigration is having a negative impact on their lives.

The findings – which come as Europeans are waking up to the consequences of decades of mass immigration from Muslim countries – point to a growing disconnect between European voters and their political masters regarding multicultural policies that encourage Muslim immigrants to remain segregated rather than become integrated into their host nations.

The survey results mirror the findings of dozens of other recent polls. Taken together, they provide ample empirical evidence that scepticism about Muslim immigration is not limited to a “right-wing” political fringe, as proponents of multiculturalism often assert. Mainstream voters across the entire political spectrum are now expressing concerns about the role of Islam in Europe.

The “Global Views on Immigration” survey was conducted by the London-based Ipsos global research firm and published on August 4. It polled citizens in nine European countries: Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Spain and Sweden.

The poll shows a close correlation between the views the natives of a given country have about immigration and the number of, and level of, integration of Muslim immigrants in their countries.

For example, the poll finds that Belgians and Britons hold the most negative views on immigration; these countries also have some of the least integrated Muslim populations in Europe. The poll also shows that among Europeans, Poles have the most positive views on immigration and immigrants; Poland happens to have Europe’s smallest Muslim community, which comprises less than 0.1% of that country’s total population.

The Ipsos poll shows that as a whole, more than 56% of Europeans believe “there are too many immigrants” in their countries: Belgium (72%), Britain (71%), Italy (67%), Spain (67%), Germany (53%), France (52%), Hungary (50%), Sweden (46%) and Poland (29%).

I see they didn’t poll Norwegians, but I would guess the number is close to Sweden’s.   Here is an idea—how about if those countries who do have a problem just flex their sovereign muscles and say NO! to more.   If Sweden, Poland and Norway are happy with their Muslim populations, let them do what they want (until their own citizens wake up).

There is a lot more (with links to more studies) at that Hudson New York report.  Read it all.

By the way, for new readers, we have a category entitled ‘where to find information’ where many reports, studies, statistics are archived.  You might want to have a look there from time to time.

Norway’s Muslim girls not protected by the government

That is according to a recent report from CBN News:

OSLO, Norway — It’s been almost a month since innocent Norwegians were killed by a lunatic obsessed with the threat of Islam.

But the terrible tragedy has not stopped civil debate in Norway over the impact of Muslim immigration.

Several weeks before the massacre in Norway, CBN News travelled to Oslo to investigate reports that that nation’s experiment with Muslim immigration and multiculturalism had gone terribly wrong, that Muslim radicalism was growing along with violence and intimidation against non-Muslims.

Islamists Target Women

In the wake of the killings, some on Norway’s political left call the fear of Islamization a “conspiracy theory.”

However, there are real victims – and they are mostly Norway’s women. Norway has never faced such problems before.

Even though Norway is a democracy, some Norwegian women do not have full rights. They are denied them by their families, and they live in fear for their lives.

At the Red Cross office in Oslo, Monica Berge-Tukh and Anne Marte Stifjeld take calls from Norwegian girls who face honor violence, forced marriage or genital mutilation.

Read it all.  One of the most shocking cases described involves little girls returned to Gambia for female genital mutilation.

No wonder the UK is such a mess: Somali family gets taxpayer-funded 7-bedroom home

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

This can’t be true, but here is the story posted (with photos of the mansion) in The Mail yesterday.

That Somali family of 12 we told you about a few days ago in Memphis, TN only got a 3-bedroom apartment.

From The Mail:

They say beggars can’t be choosers.

But in the case of jobless Somali refugee Saeed Khaliif and his family, it seems they can.

The Mail yesterday revealed how the Khaliifs have been given a £2million home in one of London’s most exclusive neighbourhoods, with taxpayers funding their £8,000-a-month rent.

[….]

The family had rejected a previous six-bedroom home in Coventry – where the bill for the public would have been a more reasonable £1,000 a month – simply because they wanted to live ‘closer to their friends’.

[….]

On top of their free accommodation, the family is also thought to be eligible for a raft of benefits including incapacity benefit, income support and child benefit, which could potentially add many thousands of pounds to their monthly haul from the taxpayer.

The Khaliifs and their brood of children – eight youngsters have been seen at the property – fled war-torn Somalia and arrived in Britain about three years ago as asylum-seekers.

Since then, they are believed to have been granted refugee status, allowing them to claim benefits. Speaking via his children, who act as translators, Mr Khaliif said he had not worked since arriving in the UK and admitted he was on benefits.

I think the Brits need a TEA Party!
