Netherlands' NIMBYs: Dutch Jews do not want Middle Eastern refugees housed near them

More invasion of Europe news…..

HIAS: We want 100,000 mostly Muslim Syrians for the US.

In my view they are being sensible, unlike the US federal resettlement contractor, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (bring in 100,000 Syrians!), that is happily resettling Muslim refugees in your towns and cities.
Go here to see where HIAS works near you.
From the Jewish Press :

(JNi.media)”The Jewish community of Amsterdam says it is worried about the proposed refugee shelter in Amstelveen-Noord, a suburban town in the Amsterdam metropolitan area, NL Times reported. Local residents were informed on Monday night about the new shelter, which will house 400 refugees, mostly from Syria and Iraq. The proposed location is an office building less than half a mile away from Buitenveldert, a neighborhood of Amsterdam which is considered the city’s modern Jewish quarter, with a Synagogue, Jewish schools, nursing homes, shops and kosher restaurants. Buitenveldert is also the largest Jewish community in the Netherlands.

Buitenveldert
The Jewish neighborhood of Buitenveldert is less than a half a mile away from the proposed asylum center for Syrian refugees.

The Dutch Central Jewish Board is concerned that there will be unpleasant, if not dangerous incidents because of the close proximity of the new shelter to Jewish homes.”

However, here  they can’t resist being politically correct:  We are o.k. with war refugees, just not in our neighborhood!
Jewish Press contined:

“Let there be no doubt that the Jewish community is overwhelmingly for the reception of war refugees, but we have major concerns”, chairman Ron van der Wieken said on Monday. “These people come from countries such as Syria and Iraq, who traditionally take an extremely harsh tone against Jews. These people are largely brainwashed to hate Jews. You should not underestimate it.”

Germany: Sex crimes plaguing asylum centers

Invasion of Europe news….

70% of supposed ‘refugees’ arriving in Germany are men!

Here come the men! Rep. Steve King had a suggestion in Iowa yesterday: https://refugeeresettlementwatch.org/2015/10/14/cair-blasts-rep-steve-king-for-comments-on-middle-east-refugees/

 
This is news from last week that we didn’t get to, from Reuters (emphasis is mine):

Germany’s police union and women’s rights groups accused the authorities on Tuesday of playing down reports of harassment, sexual assault and even rape at refugee shelters because they feared a backlash against asylum seekers.

[….]

…. police union chief Rainer Wendt said he believed that authorities in Germany’s federal states, which are responsible for housing asylum seekers, were playing down the problem of assaults on women in the shelters.

“It is understandable that there is the desire to calm things down politically,” Wendt told Reuters. But he, along with women’s groups, believed that ignoring the problem would be counterproductive. “There is a lot of glossing over going on. But this doesn’t represent reality,” he said.But police union chief Rainer Wendt said he believed that authorities in Germany’s federal states, which are responsible for housing asylum seekers, were playing down the problem of assaults on women in the shelters.

With men accounting for about 70 percent of asylum seekers, other groups across the country have demanded gender-segregated accommodation and safe zones for women.

At least 800,000 asylum seekers are expected in Germany this year, and Chancellor Angela Merkel’s popularity has fallen with polls showing many voters believe she is taking too soft a line on allowing them into the country.

CAIR blasts Rep. Steve King for comments on Middle East refugees

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

King put forth a sensible alternative to bringing Iraqis and Syrians to the US (and thus adding them to our welfare rolls).

Let them fight for their own country or go to Saudi Arabia!

Rep. Steve King
Here is the story at the Des Moines Register:

An organization representing the rights of Muslims in the U.S. has criticized U.S. Rep. Steve King for comments the Iowa Republican made Monday about refugees fleeing Syria.

Speaking at a rally in Sioux City with U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, King chastised the idea that the U.S. would accept Syrian Muslims, saying they would be unable to assimilate into the country.

“I can’t find models of the folks that, let’s say do the hajj to Mecca, I can’t find models where they’ve assimilated into the broader culture and civilization wherever they’ve gone,” said King, a U.S. representative.

In a statement Tuesday, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, called that statement a “bizarre claim.”

Every sensible person viewing the photos of the invasion of Europe thinks the same thing as King expresses below—why aren’t these fighting-age young men at home fighting for their country?

At the rally, King also said refugees should be trained to defend the countries they are fleeing.

“So, I say instead, the refugees that come out of Iraq and come out of Syria: first, I’d train them and say ‘go back and defend your country.’ Give them uniforms … but if you can’t get them to do that then send them to Saudi Arabia where they have the air-conditioned tents at Mecca. Those tents are not busy for 11 months out of the year and they would assimilate into that culture like a hand into a glove,” King said.

Of course, commonsense is not in vogue these days, and the Muslim ‘refugees’ are participating in the Hijra (CAIR is smoothing the way)—the migration encouraged by Mohammed to bring Islam to the land of the infidels.  97% of the Syrians being admitted to the US are Muslims.
As refugee resettlement continues unabated, you know that one day CAIR hopes to have enough voters in Iowa to get rid of King and others like him.  Young patriots—have more babies!
Take a minute and contact Rep. Steve King and thank him for his forthrightness.  Click here and call one or all of his offices.

New members added to Senate Jihad Caucus as legislators tell Obama to speed up screening of Syrians

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

13 Senators and 71 Members of Congress sent a letter to President Obama on Friday urging the administration to hurry-up with the “screening” process for Syrian refugees and get them here more quickly.
Previously we told you about the Senate Jihad Caucus which called for MORE Syrians to be admitted to the US.  Looks like we have more Senators to add to the Caucus.
(97% of the Syrians admitted so far are Muslims chosen by the UN.)

Warren, Mikulski
Nine of the 23 Members of the Senate Jihad Caucus are Democrat women including Senators Murray, Warren, Feinstein and Mikulski.

This effort was spearheaded by Senator Richard Blumenthal who, as we pointed out here, appears to be in the thrall of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).
From the Independent Journal:

Last week, 84 Democratic lawmakers sent a letter to the departments of State and Homeland Security urging them to expedite the security clearing process for Syrian refugees coming to the United States.

The letter, sent Friday, followed only one day after the heads of the FBI and National Counterterrorism Center warned in a Senate hearing that the intelligence community lacks enough information to ensure Syrian refugees pose no danger to the United States.

The signatories — 13 Senators and 71 Representatives — are all Democrats.

Go here and see if your Senators and Member of Congress are on the list of members who signed a letter disregarding American security to advance their own agenda.

Jihad Caucus now numbers 23 (9 women)!

Here (below) are the original members of the Senate Jihad Caucus (in red are those who are original members and who also signed this newest appeal to Obama).

Dick Durbin (D-IL)

Al Franken (D-MN)

Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)

Patrick Leahy (D-VT)

Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)

Patty Murray (D-WA)

Robert Menendez (D-NJ)

Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)

Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH)

Christopher Coons (D-DE)  LOL! Delaware hasn’t taken a refugee in a couple of years!

Tim Kaine (D-VA)

Edward Markey (D-MA)

Sherrod Brown (D-OH)

Mazie Hirono (D-HI)  LOL! Last I looked Hawaii took a whole 7 refugees last year!

In addition to the 4 in red (who signed both letters), the Senators, who are now saying ‘we don’t care what the FBI says,‘ and thus joined the Jihad Caucus on Friday are as follows:

Richard Blumenthal (D-CT)

Jeffrey Merkley (D-OR)

Christopher Murphy (D-CT)

Barbara Mikulski (D-MD)

Gary Peters (D-MI)

Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)

Debbie Stabenow (D-MI)

Cory Booker (D-NJ)

Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)

I know you think it’s a waste to contact them, but do it anyway!  They need to know you are watching—that this is not a freebie!  Tell them how dare they jeopardize our security!

Syrians safe in Russia are taking the "opportunity" to slip into Norway to seek asylum

Invasion of Europe news…..

Update October 16th:  Norway says it will send Syrians back to Russia, here.

This story reminded me of the post we wrote in August about a Syrian woman saying that many Syrians are just “opportunists!”
Here, The Daily Caller reports on a NY Times article about the latest wave of Syrians this time making their way through Russia.
LOL! most likely encouraged by Putin (is he buying the bikes?) because he doesn’t want a huge Muslim population in Russia.
By the way, remember! legitimate asylum seekers are to request asylum in the first safe country they reach.   Asylum law was never intended to promote “asylum shopping” which is exactly what is being encouraged in Europe now where phony refugees are looking for the best deal they can get—Norway in this case!
Staying in Russia is not an option for these Syrians….
I’m guessing this route is going to be closed as the winter sets in!
Daily Caller:

Some Syrians living peacefully in Russia are taking advantage of the migrant crisis to seek asylum in Europe by way of a newly popular route into Norway.

“Syrian citizenship generally confers Refugee status in Europe,” notes Andrew Higgins of The New York Times, in a report about the exploding popularity of a route from Russia into northern Norway. Some Syrians already living in Russia are now using that route to pop across the border and claim asylum they normally might not be granted.

They see the path across the Russian border with Norway as a newly available opportunity for “a better life,” reported the Times. The outpost they’re heading for is 250 miles north of the Arctic Circle.
