They are changing America by changing the people
On the anniversary of the terrible assault on our country by Islamic terrorists, I’m in Washington DC, but will try to post a few items in between briefings and meetings. Most of the friends I am with today are here because of that first 9/11.
Please take a few minutes this morning to see this powerful presentation that Pamela Geller published a few years ago in remembrance of that awful day. Weep and never forget.
Update September 9th: Don’t miss this Somali protest in Sweden where they are demanding their “rights.”
LOL! “Some sort of social unrest…a statement against society,” says a police officer in Stockholm. (Hint: it is called Islamic terrorism!)
Our ‘canary in a coal mine,’ Sweden, is once again experiencing assorted riots where youths burn cars to make a political statement. “Youths” in the politically-correct land of “welcome” usually means Muslim immigrants. See our extensive archive on Sweden which has literally opened its doors to the Middle East and Africa. And, see our ‘invasion of Europe’ series by clicking here.
From Reuters (emphasis mine):
(Reuters) – At least 20 cars were set on fire overnight in a poor immigrant suburb of Stockholm, police said on Saturday, days before an election in which joblessness and Sweden’s open door asylum policy are major issues.
Sweden suffered its worst riots in years in May 2013, when youths burnt hundreds of cars and battled police in the capital’s poor suburbs for a week.
Gert Rosvall, a Stockholm police station officer, said vehicles had been torched in seven or eight places in Norsborg. Witnesses reported seeing a group of 20 to 50 people in the area at the time of the fires but no one had been arrested.
“This is about some sort of social unrest,” Rosvall said. “It is some kind of statement against society, but exactly what that statement is, we don’t know.”
In August, cars were also torched in the suburb of Rinkeby, which has Stockholm’s highest unemployment level.
Maybe it has something to do with the upcoming elections?
“Whether there is any connection to that, or the fact that elections are coming up, we don’t know,” Rosvall said.
Opinion polls suggest anti-immigration Sweden Democrats will take about 10 percent of votes in the Sept. 14 election, which would be their best ever result, as a growing number of voters question the cost of the country’s open door asylum policy.
Centre right Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, whose government alliance is facing defeat, put immigration at the top at the political agenda in an August speech.
While pointing to the importance of helping people fleeing from conflicts such as the one in Syria, he said the cost of receiving asylum seekers would leave little room for more spending to boost jobs and schools.
No kidding!
By the way, my bet is on Sweden to reach a “tipping point” first in Europe—tipping over to a Muslim-dominated society. Some are betting on France or the UK, but I think the French and the Brits may have a stronger will to live. What do you think?
Check out all of our posts on “welcoming” Austria as it grew its Muslim population in recent years. And, see our post yesterday on rates of Islamic radicalization in other European countries.
From Reuters:
(Reuters) – Authorities suspect around 130 people resident in Austria – most of them foreign nationals – have allied themselves with Islamist militants fighting abroad, officials in Vienna said on Friday, raising their estimate by nearly a third.
Public safety director Konrad Kogler told a news conference the 130 figure included “people actively participating in combat as well as ones who have returned to Austria, because both groups of people are relevant for us”.
He thought around two-thirds of them had come back to Austria and one-third were in battle or on the way there.
Officials were tracking the target group’s foreign travel and monitoring their activities when they return given the security risk they might pose, he said.
He said 40 of the 130 were Austrian citizens. The others were primarily from Russia, the Balkans and Turkey.
[….]
Kogler did not confirm reports that the nine suspects – one aged just 17 – were Chechens, but said many were Russian citizens.
The suspects had mostly come to Austria as young people and got political asylum that could be revoked should they be convicted of joining a terrorist organization, officials said.
Big deal! I am sure those budding Jihadists are concerned about the revocation of their political refugee status!
It is all over the news in the last few days, but just to be sure you have seen it, here is CNS News on our southern border and the Islamists’ great opportunity. LOL! I should post this in our new category — So what did they expect?
It isn’t really funny, but go back and check out our post on James O’Keefe, dressed as Osama bin Laden, as he wades (unimpeded) across the Rio Grande.
CNS News (hat tip: Erich):
(CNSNews.com) – Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at a Pentagon press briefing yesterday that “because of open borders and immigration issues,” the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) is an “immediate threat.”
In the context of this ISIL threat, Dempsey said he had had conversations with his European colleagues “about their southern flank.” He did not specifically mention the U.S.-Mexico border, which is the southern flank of the United States.
Seven years ago, then-National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell publicly warned that terrorists were coming across the U.S.-Mexico border, and that “a significant number of Iraqis” had been “smuggled across illegally” the previous year.
We have been writing about the OTMs (Other than Mexicans) for years here at RRW too (with a special interest in the Somalis coming in that way).
And, by the way, although we have an exposed “southern flank” so does Europe as we have reported in our series on the ‘invasion of Europe’ where the mostly Muslim illegal migrants come through North Africa (and the Libyan hell hole that Obama and his gals created) and across the Mediterranean Sea.
With some in the Obama Administration (but not our dear leader himself) warning of the threat to America from Jihadists who left America to fight in Syria/Iraq and possibly returning to bring their ‘skills’ to the country that “welcomed them as strangers;” and European leaders shaking in their boots about returning “citizens,” it is no surprise that someone asked the question—how many left the safety of their adopted European country to fight for Allah?
Just think about this! These European countries welcomed the poor suffering Muslim “refugees” who then used the social services of the welcoming Europeans to grow strong and healthy young fighters for the Jihad—to build the Caliphate. America is doing this as well (we are such suckers!).
From Homeland Security Today:
All across Europe, security services have become increasing candid about the threat their nations face from terrorism linked to Syria and Iraq by the establishment of the Islamic State (IS). Their openness about the scale of the problem they face is clear. They are trying to prepare Europeans that another terrorist atrocity cannot be prevented in the West. The problems with preventing people from traveling overseas and potentially returning ready to conduct acts of extreme violence — as leaders of the IS have claimed they will do — are simply too huge.
Surely, some may ask, are some countries more vulnerable to terrorism than others? The radicalization rates of Muslims across Europe cannot be uniform. There must be variances.
While there are small numbers of Islamic extremists who continue to travel to Somalia and Nigeria, it seems that the campaign against the Bashar Al Assad regime in Syria has become the flagship campaign in which to become involved. With large swaths of Syria and Iraq now the keystone in the creation of a new Islamic State, that attraction is only likely to grow.
A study of data released by the various security agencies of thirteen European countries reveals a mixed picture when they are analyzed in the context of the local demographics. The results of this study are published here for the first time.
Homeland Security Today should just have published the information in a chart format, but the data is spread throughout the text. Rates are based on the number of estimated Jihadists who left the country and the Muslim population of that European country.
All of the countries analyzed are not mentioned, but here are the rates for some (in order of the least radicalized percentage to the greatest):
Sweden: 1 in 30,000 (have left to join the Islamic killers)
Spain: 1 in 20,000
France: 1 in 8,000
Albania: 1 in 7,000
Netherlands: 1 in 7,000
Germany: 1 in 6,000
UK: 1 in 4,000
Norway: 1 in 3,400
Finland: 1 in 1,000
There are several paragraphs on Turkey, you can read the rest yourself.
This is all about the pols getting your minds ready for another big one.
