Brussels is coming to a town near you! Time for a moratorium on Muslim migration to America!
Posted by Ann Corcoran on March 22, 2016
It is past time! We have been writing about it for years.Belgium, Germany, France, even the UK have been for decades “welcoming” Muslim migrants and what has it gotten them! This!
There is only one difference between us and them. They have been seeing the colonization longer and the percentage of the Muslim population is higher than ours is here in America. How can our ‘leaders’ possibly not see the same future for us if we allow the Muslim population to continue to grow exponentially.
It is just a matter of numbers and once the population reaches as little as 3 or 4% (pick a number, it will be much lower than you assume!) there will be Molenbeeks in many American cities as the supremacists become confident that they can hide in their cities within cities.
A scene earlier this morning from the departure area of the Brussels airport. Salt Lake City in ten years? Or Phoenix?
The number of Muslim refugees totaled 154,160 (in a total refugee count of just short of a half million for all religious persuasions) since the fall of 2008.
They break down like this: 69,400 Moslems (sect not specified), 33,000 Shiite Moslems, and 51,760 Sunni Moslems. That is just in less than 8 years!
Those numbers do not include all the Muslims who came in through the Diversity Visa Lottery, those who are here in Temporary Protected Status, Student visa holders and the list goes on. And, it doesn’t include all of those who have entered the US illegally and then applied for asylum!
I had to chuckle (well sort of) when I saw that we admitted 30,052 Iraqi Shiites and 40,450 Iraqi Sunnis! In other words we are bringing in both sides of the centuries-old Shiite/Sunni conflict! Is that doubly insane! Does anyone really believe they will bury the hatchet (oops!) and that the mythical American melting pot will make it all go away!
A reminder to voters in Utah and Arizona today!
You both have cities in the top twenty US cities receiving Somali Muslims (Iraqis too!) with a track record of producing devout Islamic supremacist youths! See here.Donald Trump is right! Stop the migration!
Here are the top twenty hot Somali cities in just the last year:
- Minneapolis-St. Paul – 646
- Columbus, Ohio – 412
- Buffalo, N.Y. – 361
- Syracuse, N.Y. – 307
- Dallas-Ft. Worth – 302
- Salt Lake City, Utah – 276
- San Diego – 275
- St. Cloud – 243
- Louisville, Ky. – 236
- Phoenix, Ariz. – 218
- Seattle, Wash. – 212
- Erie, Pa. – 207
- Atlanta – 159
- Glendale, Ariz. – 155
- Tuscon – 154
- Boston – 153
- Houston – 150
- Nashville – 148
- Kansas City, Mo. – 145
- Portland, Ore. – 132

Turkey's Erdoğan Gambles and Loses
N.B.: Australian title is "Erdoğan's despotic slide in Turkey is bad news for Europe"
The Republic of Turkey, long a democratizing Muslim country solidly
in the Western camp, now finds itself internally racked and at the
center of two external crises, the civil war in next-door Syria and the
illegal immigration that is changing European politics. The prospects
for Turkey and its neighbors are worrisome, if not ominous.
The key development was the coming to power of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in 2002, when a fluke election outcome gave him total control of the government, which he then brilliantly parlayed into a personal dominion. After years of restraint and modesty, his real personality – grandiloquent, Islamist, and aggressive – came out. Now, he seeks to rule as a despot, an ambition that causes his country incessant, avoidable problems.
Initially, Erdoğan's disciplined approach to finance permitted the Turkish economy to achieve China-like economic growth and won him increasing electoral support while making Ankara a new player in regional affairs. But then conspiracy theories, corruption, short-sightedness, and incompetence cut into the growth, making Turkey economically vulnerable.
Initially, Erdoğan took unprecedented steps to resolve his country's Kurdish problem, acknowledging that this ethnic minority making up roughly 20 percent of the country's population has its own culture and allowing it to express itself in its own language. But then, for electoral reasons, he abruptly reversed himself last year, resulting in a more-than-ever determined and violent Kurdish insurgency, to the point that civil war has become a real prospect.
Initially, Erdoğan accepted the traditional autonomy of the major institutions in Turkish life – law courts, the military, the press, banks, schools. No longer; now he seeks to control everything. Take the case of two prominent journalists, Can Dündar and Erdem Gül: because their newspaper, Cumhuriyet, exposed the Turkish government's clandestine support for the Islamic State (ISIS), Erdoğan had them imprisoned on the surreal charges of espionage and terrorism. Worse, when the Constitutional Court (Turkey's highest) reversed this sentence, Erdoğan accused the court of ruling "against the country and its people" and indicated he would ignore its decision.
Initially, Erdoğan maintained cautious and correct relations with Moscow, benefiting economically and using Russia as a balance
against the United States. But since the reckless Turkish shoot-down of
a Russian warplane last November, followed by a defiant lack of
apology, the little bully (Erdoğan) has more than met his match with the
big bully (Russia's Vladimir Putin) and Turkey is paying the price. French President François Hollande has publicly warned of "a risk of war" between Turkey and Russia.
Initially, Erdoğan's accommodating policies translated into a calming of domestic politics; now, his bellicosity has led to a string of minor and major acts of violence. To make matters worse, many of them are murky in origin and purpose, building paranoia. For example, before the Kurdish group TAK claimed responsibility for the bombing on Mar. 13 that killed 37 near the prime minister's office in Ankara, the attack was variously blamed on Kurds, ISIS, and the Turkish government; . It was interpreted as intending to justify a more forceful campaign against domestic Kurds or punish the government for attacking the Kurds; to encourage a Turkish military invasion of Syria or to frame Erdoğan's political archenemy, the Gülen movement.
Initially, Turkey became a plausible candidate for membership in the
European Union thanks to Erdoğan's muted behavior. Now, his slide toward
despotism and Islamism means the Europeans go merely through the
motions of pretending to negotiate with Ankara, while counting on the
Republic of Cyprus to blackball its application; as Turkish journalist Burak Bekdil
notes, "modern Turkey has never been this galactically distant from the
core values enshrined by the European civilization and its
institutions."
In the early months of the Syrian uprising, Erdoğan offered sage advice to the dictator in Damascus, Bashar al-Assad, about relaxing his grip and allowing political participation. Things have gone so awry that – as Dündar and Gül reported – Erdoğan now supports ISIS, the most fanatical and Islamist organization of today, and perhaps ever. That support has taken many forms: permitting foreigners to cross Turkey to reach Syria, allowing recruitment in Turkey, providing medical care, and provisioning money and arms. Despite this, ISIS, fearful of betrayal by Ankara, threatens and attacks Turks.
Erdoğan's error of backing ISIS and other Sunni Islamist organizations in Syria has hurt him in another way, leading to a massive influx of Syrian refugees to Turkey, where, increasingly unwelcomed by the indigenous population, they cause new social and economic strains.
Which brings us to Erdoğan's latest gambit. The many Syrian refugees wanting to go on to northwestern Europe provide him with a handy mechanism to blackmail the European Union: pay me huge amounts of money (€6 billion at latest count) and permit 80 million Turks to travel visa-free to your countries, or I will dump more unwelcome Syrians, Iraqis, Afghans, Somalis, et al. on you.
So far, the ploy has worked. Led by Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel, the Europeans are succumbing to Erdoğan's demands. But this may well be a Pyrrhic victory, hurting Erdoğan's long-term interests. In the first place, forcing Europeans to pretend they are not being blackmailed and to welcome Turkey with clenched teeth, creates a foul mood, further reducing, if not killing off, Turkish chances for membership.
Second, Erdoğan's game has prompted a profound and probably lasting
shift in mood in Europe against accepting more immigrants from the
Middle East – including Turks – as demonstrated by the poor showing of
Merkel's party in elections earlier this month.
This is just the start. In combination, these errors by Erdoğan point to more crises ahead. Gökhan Bacik, a professor at Ipek University in Ankara, notes that "Turkey is facing a multifaceted catastrophe," the scale of which "is beyond Turkey's capacity for digestion." If Iran is today the Middle East's greatest danger, Turkey is tomorrow's.

The Camp of the Saints - Jean Raspail - English subtitles
Blogster note: A prophetic novel published in 1973. As a novelist he imagined the
scenario of one million immigrants on boats anchored in the waters of
the French Riviera. He was right.
His writing caused a furious reaction from the French government. He was brended a racist, xenpphobe and was ostracized for years. For years, I searched for the book in French but could remember, neither title nor author.
The book´s 1973 original edition is on sale at Amazon.com
