Britain deports Iraqi asylum seekers

Update October 18th:   More details on this story at the New York Times, here.

Update October 17th:  This is very confusing.  It seems that when the plane landed in Baghdad some of the returned asylum seekers got off the plane and others were told they must return to Great Britain, here.

Just as we in the US are getting ready to resettle possibly tens of thousands of additional Iraqi refugees (more on that in the morning), Britain joins Denmark now in loading them up and sending them back because violence is down.

From Al Jazeera:

Britain has forcibly sent 39 Iraqi asylum seekers back to Baghdad, a refugee group has said.

The International Federation of Iraqi Refugees (Ifir) has raised concern over the welfare of the asylum seekers once they arrive in Iraq, which has seen a continuation of deadly suicide bombings in recent months.

The Ifir said 39 people had been deported on a specially chartered Air Italy flight that left London’s Stansted airport early on Thursday.

The group said people on the flight were told it was going to Baghdad, making it the first deportation flight into south or central Iraq from the UK.

And, these 39 are not the first.

According to Britain’s interior ministry, 632 people were deported to northern Iraq between 2005 and 2008.

Geert Wilders wins his case against Britain’s ban

The truth-telling Dutch politician Geert Wilders, whom we’ve written about many times, can now be allowed to enter Great Britain, the Telegraph reports.

Wilders challenged the decision by then home secretary Jacqui Smith which led to him being turned back at Heathrow Airport.

The ruling by the Asylum and  Immigration Tribunal means the head of the Freedom Party, who is accused of Islamophobia, could now be allowed into the country.

He was due to show his short film Fitna, which criticises the Koran as a ”fascist book”, at the House of Lords in February.

But Ms Smith said his presence had the potential to ”threaten community harmony and therefore public safety”.

It’s a sign of how far Britain has fallen that the normally sensible Telegraph calls Wilders a “far-right Dutch politician” in its sub-headline. Wilders objects to Muslims taking over western societies, and for that he is branded “far-right.” Oh well, Ann and I have been called the same thing; nowadays it’s a badge of honor. But I don’t think the Washington Times or Washington Examiner, which are somewhat equivalent to the Telegraph, would label us far-right.

Swedish high court assures Somalis will receive asylum

From Esther at Islam in Europe blog (story originally here):

Sweden’s highest migration court made a landmark decision on Tuesday regarding asylum seekers from conflict-ridden areas, opening the way for Somalis to receive permanent residence in Sweden.

[….]

In the past, migration courts throughout Sweden had ruled on petitions from Somalis in various manners, with some recommending permanent residence and others deportation. In line the high court’s decision, however, Somalis will now most likely be granted permanent residence.

If things get too bad in Sweden, note that Canada has just made a decision to accept a persecuted white asylee from South Africa, here.

By the way, since we are on the subject of Sweden, this old post I wrote in March about Sweden continues to be one of our most read posts and I have no idea why that would be.

The West is raising Jihadists in immigrant populations

I just came across this article on Drudge that you should see.  It is from the UK Telegraph and describes a “village” of Germans fighting with Pakistani and Afghani Jihadists against Western forces.  So, not only are we in America supplying young fighters—former refugees to whom we have given much—to Jihadi forces in Somalia, Europe too is supplying Muslims and Muslim converts to kill NATO soldiers.

The village, in Taliban-controlled Waziristan, is run by the notorious al-Qaeda-affiliated Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, which plots raids on Nato forces in Afghanistan.

A recruitment video presents life in the village as a desirable lifestyle choice with schools, hospitals, pharmacies and day care centres, all at a safe distance from the front.

In the video, the presenter, “Abu Adam”, the public face of the group in Germany, points his finger and asks: “Doesn’t it appeal to you? We warmly invite you to join us!”

According to German foreign ministry officials a growing number of German families, many of North African descent, have taken up the offer and travelled to Waziristan where supporters say converts make up some of the insurgents’ most dedicated fighters

The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, which has a foothold in several German cities, has capitalised on growing concern over the rising profile of German forces in Afghanistan.

Now it becomes clearer.  When the article mentions “white” jihadists, they don’t mean ethnic Germans or Swedes, they mean immigrants who had been given an opportunity for a good life in a Western country, but took what they could get (like military training as this article points out) and then have headed to the mountains to kill the infidels for Allah.

“The Europeans are there [in Waziristan]. The most dedicated people there are from Europe. They will do anything for Islam. They are not there because their father’s are Muslim, but by choice,” he (former Pakistani intelligence officer)said.

As I have pointed out previously in our extensive coverage of the Somali refugees who have left America to kill in Somalia, those strong healthy Somalis are alive and healthy thanks to the do-gooders who resettled them in the US.  We gave them food, shelter, a good education and have raised up Islamic militant warriors who would likely not have survived to adulthood if we had left them in Africa.   It just blows the whole theory that all Muslim immigrants want is a good life—a piece of the pie—and proves again something the Leftwing “humanitarians” are unwilling to grasp—Islam and Islamic supremacism is the driving force in their lives.

P.S.  We have resettled thousands of Uzbeks in the US.  It is unclear how many exactly because the State Department for many years lumped all former Soviet Union refugees together in their statistics.
