Reporter raped in makeshift refugee camp in France

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

This story was first brought to my attention by Blulitespecial and then another reader sent me a more detailed report from The Mail of London.   A lone female reporter trying to get a story about illegal immigration went to the camp in Calais—The Camp of Saints?  French author Raspail must be feeling stunned these days to see his 1973 novel coming true (or maybe he isn’t surprised).

Up to 500 migrants – mostly claiming to be from war-torn areas such as Afghanistan and Iraq – live in the damp wood, in a disused part of The Dunes industrial zone.

She was tricked to enter a hut where she was raped:

As she took photographs of a group of Afghan refugees, she was lured into a makeshift hut in the notorious unofficial camp called The Jungle by the gang leader, who told her he wanted to show her something inside.

There he held her down, repeatedly hit her around the face and body, and subjected her to a half-hour rape, police said. Although she screamed for help, no one came to her aid.

She had been warned: 

The petite brunette had been warned by local police not to go to the camp as it was a dangerous place for lone females.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying the rape victim asked for it (or maybe I am).  I blame this foolish decision on her part on this politically correct notion promoted by the Left in Europe (and here in the US) that all these impoverished refugees from war-torn countries need is a home and some love and understanding.

Many of those trying to break into Europe are ruthless criminals and shame on the French authorities for not rounding them up and deporting them to wherever they came from.   Drop them into the mountains with Bin Laden if necessary, they are more dangerous to the West in a Camp in Calais.

Somali author in Norway blasts fellow immigrants

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Update:  Gates of Vienna has more today on the problems in Norway with asylum seekers here.  Note at the end of that post there is list of GOV links for many recent posts on Norway.

Thanks to Janet over at Women Against Sharia for tipping us off to this story.   A Somali woman in Norway has written a book in which she says Somalis aren’t integrating into Norwegian society (no kidding!).   You have to give this brave woman a great deal of credit for what she has written because now she fears for her life.

A Somalian woman who came to Norway more than 10 years ago is harshly criticizing her fellow Somalian immigrants and Norwegian authorities. In a new book, she claims Somalians themselves don’t want to integrate into Norwegian society, and that Norwegian welfare programs make it easy for them to remain isolated.

The book written by Amal Aden, a pseudonym for the Somalian author, is already creating an uproar. Amal Aden wouldn’t use her own name because of fears for her own safety.

She claims that resistance to integration is widespread especially among Somalian men, who fear losing their culture and religion. Many are afraid of Norwegians and view them as infidels who can’t be trusted.

Likely she will be joining Ayan Hirsi Ali among the hunted.   Here is how it works, sound familiar:

In her book, entitled “See us!” (Se oss!), Amal Aden claims the Somalians also exploit the Norwegian welfare state and have many children in order to qualify for more welfare payments. Many couples also “divorce” under Norwegian law in order for the women to receive even more welfare payments as single mothers, only to continue to live under Somalian customs with their Somalian husbands and have more children, the author claims.

Then here is what I thought were the most telling lines in this whole article.

Abdulwahab (a Somali activist in Norway) has five daughters himself aged four to 14, but has sent them all to school in Kenya. Not, he claims, because Norwegians can’t be relied upon but because he wants them to get a good education.

What is going on here?  Why is he living in Norway if it isn’t a better place to raise his kids?  Why aren’t they all living in Kenya?  First, I suspect the girls are being kept from the corrupting influence of a free society and secondly, as much as many of you reading this  will want to tell me I’m crazy (or worse!), Somalis are not in the west to have a better life—they are the foot soldiers of the advancing Islamic Army.   

Go ahead, call me names and put your head in the sand.  No sense beating aroung the bush.  The arrogance and resistance to assimilation we read about with Somalis all over the country (the world!) is because they believe they are superior to us.  We are the infidels and they plan to populate western democracies and ultimately change Dar el Harb (a country at war with Islam) to Dar el Islam (a country where Islam dominates).

Asylum Crisis in Norway from Gates of Vienna

Go over to Gates of Vienna here and read about how Norway could soon be dragged to financial ruin over the large number of asylum seekers flowing into that country.  I don’t think this article mentions anything about who the asylees are, but I doubt they are Britons bailing out of the UK.    Other reports say they are Russians (Chechens), Somalis, and Iraqis among others from Muslim regions of the world.

This article at GOV today focuses on the financial situation the country finds itself in (didn’t Osama bin Laden say he wanted to bring down the west financially?), but the large number is causing violence as well.  See our report here at the end of July.

Then just now searching around I found this article about a sniper shooting a Somali teen at an asylum center in Norway just a couple of weeks ago.

ASKER, Norway (AP) — Several shots were fired at a center for teenage asylum-seekers in Norway on Friday, and a 16-year-old Somali boy was seriously wounded, police said.

Police believe the shots were fired from long range, with a “heavy-caliber” weapon, police spokesman Einaar Aas said, without giving further details.

The boy was in his bed on the top floor of a two-story Hvalstad asylum center in Asker, outside Oslo, when a bullet pierced the wooden wall and hit him in the stomach, asylum center director Ahmed Bozgil told The Associated Press.

Aas said the boy was in critical condition at an Oslo hospital and would undergo surgery.

“It’s to early to speculate about motives, but we are taking this very seriously,” Aas said. Violence against refugees is rare in Norway, but an influx of immigrants recently has led to calls for tighter immigration controls.

It was unclear exactly how many rounds hit the building in the 8 a.m. (0600 GMT) shooting.

“It’s the first time we have had any serious incidents like this here,” Bozgil said. He said there were 121 youths from 13 countries at the center at the time of the shooting, but only the 16-year-old was hit.

Police helicopters and sniffer dogs searched the area for suspects, but no arrests had been made by Friday afternoon, the police spokesman said.

Last year about 6,000 asylum-seekers sought refuge in the Scandinavian country, and the number is expected to more than double this year.

The biggest numbers are coming from Iraq, Eritrea, Russia and Somalia.

Refugee news from around the globe

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

There is so much happening and so little time to comment, so to be sure you aren’t missing refugee and immigrant news from around the world, here are a few nuggets:

Italy declared emergency over illegal immigrants arriving in boats and a few days later 800 more came ashore from Africa.

Some 800 immigrants arrived in Southern Italy on Thursday (31 July), just a few days after the country declared a national state of emergency over what it describes as the “exceptional and persistent influx” of irregular immigrants.

Rohingya Muslim refugees go to New Zealand.  To see why this could be a problem for New Zealand, see our category Rohingya Reports here.

New Zealand has already welcomed the Rohingya Refugees from Bangladesh. The first batch of 23 Refugee were resettled on 28th June 2008 that included the members of the Rohingya Youth Development Forum (RYDF), Arakan-Burma.

Japan may soon take refugees.   Heretofore Japan has avoided taking refugees but now is working with the UN to start opening its doors.

Critics say Japan is a generous supporter of refugee programs overseas but shuts the door when people seek asylum in its own shores.

North Korean refugee coming to US from Russia.

He is the first North Korean defector to find asylum in the U.S. from Russia, which has refused to recognize North Korean defectors as refugees and approve their seeking of asylum to the U.S. for fear of harming diplomatic ties with the North.

South Africa, the rainbow nation, has a large and growing group of impoverished people—white people!   Will South African whites be considered for refugee resettlement some day?

It is not politically correct to talk about white, poor people,” said Dirk Hermann, a senior Solidarity official. “They are the nation’s forgotten people. Zuma’s been surprised by the level of poverty among the white population which is not talked about. They have been poorly served by the government.

Muslim refugees in Norway causing conflicts, pushing Sharia

Judy posted on this story yesterday here.  However, this morning the International Herald Tribune has a more detailed article about what caused the Muslim on Muslim crime in a refugee center in Norway this week.

On Friday morning, the police arrested five Chechen men, aged 23 to 43, on suspicion of taking part in the 15-minute attack, but Fremstad said it was not clear all the attackers were of the same nationality. Online media reports said the dispute may have grown out of a complaint that a Kurdish boy had bothered two Chechen women inside the center. “Whatever the original cause,” said Superintendent Fremstad, “it was trivial until somebody’s honor got offended.”  [Ed: yup, Muslim honor is all important under sharia]

The center in Vaaler houses some 250 asylum seekers from Russia, Iraq, Iran, Somalia and Eritrea, among other nations, and is one of 70 such facilities in Norway.

Norway is being flooded by refugees from primarily Muslim countries seeking asylum. 

Agnar Kaarboe, communications director of the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration, said a meeting would be held Friday night at the Vaaler center to try to calm tempers.

Kaarboe said the number of asylum seekers assigned to Vaaler was “defensible,” but he acknowledged systematic overcrowding at centers nationwide following a doubling in the number of asylum applications in the past year.

“The entire asylum reception system is under pressure,” he said. More than 8,000 refugees are now living in centers while their applications are under review. Nearly 60 percent face deportation under current policies. Immigration authorities are seeking to build many additional reception centers, often in the face of local opposition, and have resorted at times to erecting tents to house young male refugees.

Judy asked yesterday, where were the Vikings of old?   Note the one mention above about “local opposition”.  The Vikings must still be around, it’s just that reporters like this one from the International Herald Tribune aren’t telling you much about them.   The mainstream media does not want you to know there is opposition to refugee resettlement.

Finally, the sentence that jumped out at me was this one:

At the Vaaler asylum center in 2005, the police responded to repeated altercations stemming from a demand by several Chechen residents for the imposition of strict Muslim law, or Sharia, at the facility.

This is what this kind of immigration is all about.  Muslims have figured out how to spread themselves around the world playing on the sympathies of western do-gooders by claiming to be poor refugees in order to plant and spread Sharia law to the civilized West.
