Merkel Calls on Refugees to Respect German Values, Laws
BERLIN (Sputnik) — German Chancellor Angela Merkel has called on refugees on Saturday to respect German laws and values and show interest in the German lifestyle.
"We expect that people who have come to us will abide by our laws and show some interest in our way of life," Merkel told Syrian journalist Hamdi Kassar in a daily podcast on the chancellor's official website.
"We know very few things about Syria… Iraq or African countries. We should perceive this as an opportunity to learn something more [about them]," Merkel said.
Germany faced an influx of refugees, as it has been the key destination for hundreds of thousands of migrants coming to Europe since the country announced an open-door refugee policy in the fall of 2015. According to the German Interior Ministry, some 280,000 refugees came to Germany in 2016, which is lower than the 890,000 arrivals recorded in the previous year. The majority of the asylum seekers are from Syria and Afghanistan.
There is something seriously wrong with the Liberal mind.

ReplyDeleteMontana Democrats vote against bill banning Sharia, call it “repugnant”
APRIL 1, 2017 3:26 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER
Do they even know what Sharia is? Almost certainly not. They’ve just been told that to oppose it is “racist,” and that’s good enough for them. Stonings, amputations, the institutionalized degradation of women and non-Muslims, the denial of the freedom of speech and the freedom of conscience — what’s not to like?
“Montana Democrats Vote Against Bill Banning Sharia Law, Call It ‘Repugnant,’” by Ben Kew, Breitbart, March 31, 2017:
Democrats in Montana have opposed a bill banning the use of foreign law in its state courts on the grounds that such legislation would target Muslims.
Senate Bill 97, introduced by Keith Regier (R-Kalispell) bans the application of foreign law in Montana’s courts, with the debate particularly focused on Sharia Law, a form of Islamic law typically used in the Middle East.
Although the bill passed on party lines by 56-44, Democrats claimed it was designed to target Muslim communities.
“I think it sends a dangerous message to minority groups both here living in our state and wanting to come visit our state, just merely on the fact that you may be different,” said Rep. Shane Morigeau, D-Missoula, while debating the bill. “I truly believe this law is repugnant. I believe this is not who we are as Montanans.”
Meanwhile, Rep. Ellie Hill Smith (D-Missoula) proposed a failed amendment to the bill to include a ban on both Sharia Law and the Law of Moses, in order to “show the state of Montana that it is not just about Islamic Law.”
“The courts have said that laws that single out certain religions violate the First Amendment,” Smith said, claiming that it was “peppered with anti-Muslim bigotry.”
Another Democrat, Rep. Laurie Bishop (D-Livingston) urged legislators “not to forget the roots of this bill,” adding that “our children are watching.”
Meanwhile, Rep. Brad Tschida (R-Missoula) said the bill was an attempt to push back against a “constitution [that] is constantly under assault.”…

Poland will not yield to ‘blackmail’ over refugees: PM
ReplyDelete28.03.2017 16:55
Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydło has said that the European Union’s migration policy has proved to be a failure, adding that her country will not be “blackmailed” into taking in refugees.
Speaking after a meeting in Warsaw with her counterparts from the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, Szydło slammed EU migration commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos for telling the bloc’s interior ministers that there should be "no more excuses" and "no more talk about relocation, but delivery."
Szydło also referred to a statement by the German interior minister, who said that the European Commission “must ensure the law [on refugees] is respected and has the tools to do so.”
Szydło said such statements are “a misunderstanding and a blackmail attempt”.
“The Visegrad group, including Poland, will never agree to blackmail and will not agree to such terms being dictated to them,” she said.
85 000 refusals of entry
ReplyDeleteThe Belarusian-Polish border has been the gate into Europe for the Chechens since the nineties, when Chechnya was ravaged by civil war. This is also through where they escape from Ramzan Kadyrov’s regime. But since the end of 2015, the Polish Border Guard has allowed only a few people to submit their refugee status application. For about 7 thousand applications accepted from Chechens in 2016 there were also about 85 thousand refusals of entry, four times as many as in the year before. Human rights advocates alarm of cases of manipulation during interviews conducted by the Border Guard.

ReplyDeletePoland increasingly at odds with EU
ReplyDeleteBy Dale R. Herspring
March 19, 2017
Only someone who has lived in Poland and dealt extensively with Poles could hope to understand the current political battle involving the Polish government and the election of Poland’s former president, Donald Tusk, as president of the European Council. I cannot find a case in which a member of the European Union fought has so hard against the election of one of its own citizens to the influential position of EU Council President. It is considered a great honor both for the individual and the country he or she represents. However, Tusk was elected EU president on March 9 despite opposition from his own government.
Poland is currently governed by the Law and Justice Party, an extremely conservative party by European standards. Indeed, the Polish Foreign Ministry took the unprecedented step of nominating Jacek Saryusz-Wolski, a member of parliament from Tusk’s center-right Civic Platform Party, for EU President. The ministry considered Tusk “a German candidate.”
Anti-German sentiment remains strong in parts of Poland. Also, notably, Poland has steadfastly refused to have anything to do with the EU’s resettlement of Middle Eastern refugees as required by Brussels. Warsaw strongly believes that Poland should remain Polish and that its national identity should not be diluted by a mixture of other nationalities, especially those from the Middle East. Polish money should be spent on Poles.

DeletePoland
The Poles refusal to accept these refugees is understandable especially given the EU dictates and the screwed up refugee policy there.
The being said, when it comes to the refugee policy, the Poles especially the current right wing regime there are flaming hypocrites.
The Poles have been a refugee 'sending' country for the better part of a century. They've been a resource for most of the countries in Europe looking for cheap labor. As for the refugees coming to Poland, for the most part Poland acted as a transit country with refugees passing through Poland on their way to other countries were the opportunities were better.
When Poland joined the EU, the flow of refugees 'out of' of Poland became a flood. Britain ended up with almost 900,000 refugees from Poland. With births since, there are over a million Poles in the UK. Polish is the second largest language spoken in the UK. It's the third largest language spoken in the EU.
At a minimum, the Poles are hypocrites complaining about the EU policies. As for the right wing government there, they are simply profiting off the xenophobia spreading through a large percentage of the EU.
As for Michigan, we have successfully accepted and integrated refugees from Poland, Europe, and every other country in the world including those from primarily Muslim countries.
The fact that certain hicks from Idaho can't understand that simple fact isn't surprising. It could have something to the hate sites they haunt.
.
Nonsense. Unlike most of western Europe, Poland suffered under a 25 year occupation by Russia and enforced communism.
DeleteThe charge that Poland caused refugees for a century has no basis in fact. Poland has been sliced and diced by its neighbors
for most of the 19th century. In the 20th century, Poland was not restored as a nation until 1918.
Immigrants from areas reunited into Poland "flooded" into the US with stamped passports, registered in ledgers on Ellis Island, processed by the US government and then welcomed to the mines and industrial plants in the US North East.
You seem to have a problem distinguishing a refugee from an immigrant.
German and Russian aggression and war against Poland caused incalculable economic damage to Poland.
Poland has to be compared with East Germany to make a rational comparison. I suggest you brush up on economic support provided by West Germany to East Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall, including the extraordinary measure of declaring parity to the East and West German Mark.
The EU is a French and German construct. It is based on a free flow of capital and labor When Poland was invited to join the EU, the "flood" of Poles into the UK and the EU was a demand pull. It was a fire sales for educated, skilled hard working people.
Your focus on Britain is strange. After Poland was defeated by the Nazis and then the invasion by the Russians, Poland set up a government in exile in Britain at the request of the UK. The Brits needed the Polish Air Force in the Battle of Britain. Polish ground troops were with Montgomery at Tobruk and later at Monte Casino in Sicily.
Polish paratroopers participated in brigade strength in the Allied invasion of Europe and in division strength in the invasion and defeat of Germany. In fact, Poland provided the fourth largest force in the European campaignn
All that said, that contribution to Britain was paltry compared to the Polish contribution to the "English" Enigma program.
England and the UK owe Poland big time.
The "xenophobia" spreading throughout Europe is based not on needy "refugees" flooding Europe, but by an invasion of African and Muslim males, 20-30s, who are opportunists.
Poland owes them nothing.
An Immigrant is an individual who leaves one’s country to settle in another, whereas refugees are defined as persons, who move out of one’s country due to restriction or danger to their lives.
DeleteImmigration is considered a natural phenomenon in population ecology, whereas the refugee movement occurs only under some kind of coercion or pressure.
.
DeleteThe charge that Poland caused refugees for a century has no basis in fact.
Sorry, sloppy wording on my part. The outflow of Poles to other European countries and the UK was obviously a matter of emigration rather than refugees especially given the EU's open border policy.
The rest of my argument stands.
You seem to have a problem distinguishing a refugee from an immigrant.
No, I don't. As I said it was sloppiness on my part for which I have apologized.
As for your history lesson, it's irrelevant to the discussion and the point I was making to Bob.
I am painfully aware of what Poland has been through during its 11 century history. However, talking about the pain Poland suffered in WWII has jack shit to the right wing xenophopia expressed there today.
An Immigrant is an individual who leaves one’s country to settle in another, whereas refugees are defined as persons, who move out of one’s country due to restriction or danger to their lives.
As noted above, the point of my post was the hypocrisy of Poland's views on refugees given Poland's history of 'emigration' not Polish 'immigration'.

ReplyDeleteIsraeli groups open school for Syrian refugees in Greece
Israeli humanitarian group works on an initiative to build a school for children of Syrian refugees living in a refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos.
Gili Eliyahu Adler|Published: 24.03.17 , 09:56
To an outsider, the Israelis who disembarked from a flight in early March from Ben Gurion Airport to Athens were regular tourists. Most of them were, but five were on a confidential mission: To build a school for children of Syrian refugees living in a refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos.
Israel’s humanitarian aid to victims of the Syrian Civil War has been well documented. Dozens of Syrian combatants and civilians have been treated at Ziv Medical Center in Safed, and a rash of Israeli relief organizations have conducted fund raising drives to ensure that refugees have sufficient food, clothes, medical supplies and more.
.
DeleteWhich is better, Israelis opening schools or Saudis opening madrassas?
.
I'm all in on Israelis opening schools. I only find the selection of a refugee island in Greece to be bizarre. The Israeli schools will have intellectual integrity and will not be for purposes of religious propaganda. Considering where Israel is located and what is going on in and around their borders, the location of a refugee school on a Greek Island appears to me to be nothing more than public relations.
ReplyDeleteI see no relevance to Saudi madrassas. The madrassas will have no intellectual integrity. They do not belong anywhere.They are not for purposes of anything more than subversion and aggression against modernism. They are sinister and a source of evil and suppression of women. In practice, they make pedophilia by catholic priests look like jr. little league compared to the Islamic big leagues of molestation, rape, seduction and sodomization of young boys.
.
DeleteI see no relevance to Saudi madrassas.
I do. SA has been funding mosques and madrassas for decades in order to proselytize and spread the radical religion encompassed in Wahabbism. As a response to the refugee crisis in the EU, SA volunteered $200 million to the refugee effort, $200 million to build madrassas and mosques for the incoming refugees.
Anything the Israelis or any other country or religion does to offset the spread of that philosophy I consider a good thing.

1. All single unaccompanied males under 35, would be met by military recruiters and processed for three years of military service
2. Those unfit for military service would be returned to where they came
3. Recruit status fit for duty, go onto military induction
4. Any fallout for any reason, they get a ticket home
5. Advanced screening would be conducted with military liaison from the country of origin military, those failing, go home
6. Those who successfully finish basic training, go onto to occupation status and training including language, washouts at any stage, go home
7. Post graduation, Integration into military in either their country of origin or special units within EU armies follows
8. Those completing military service with an honorable discharge would be given a path to citizenship in any country that wants them

The Emigrants
(film)
In 1844 in the Swedish province of Småland, the Nilsson family lives in Ljuder Parish a small farm in the woods at Korpamoen. The eldest son, Karl Oskar, inherits the farm from his father Nils, after meeting a young girl named Kristina Johansdotter, who becomes his bride. She moves to Korpamoen to live with him and his parents. In the following years, Karl Oskar and Kristina start a family, starting with a daughter, Anna, followed by Johan, Marta and Harald. The family struggles with poor weather and harvests and hunger. Karl Oskar's rebellious younger brother Robert first comes across the idea of emigrating to America, tired of being treated poorly as a farmhand. He first asks his friend Arvid, another farmhand at Nybacken to come along with him, who eagerly agrees to do so, but the pair's hopes are dashed when they realize they do not have the money needed for their passage. Robert confronts Karl Oskar about selling his share of the farm in order to afford the passage, only to find out that Karl Oskar himself had been considering the idea of moving his family to the United States. Despite the offerings of a better life, Kristina adamantly rejects the notion, not wanting to leave her homeland as well as being fearful of risking the lives of their four young children on the ocean.
However, the family loses Anna to hunger. Devastated by this loss, Kristina agrees to Karl Oskar's plan to emigrate to the United States, and they begin making preparations for the journey. Meanwhile, Kristina's uncle Danjel Andreasson comes into conflict with the parish clergy for preaching in his home the teachings of the Akian sect to which he belongs. This leads to him, his wife Inga Lena, and their four young children being exiled from Sweden. After this, Danjel arrives at Korpamoen to join the emigration party. Danjel also plans to bring two of his followers to America as well, Ulrika of Vastergohl, a former prostitute, and her sixteen-year-old daughter Elin. Robert persuades Danjel to hire Arvid and pay his fare to America. Not long afterwards, a friend and neighbor of Karl Oskar, Ulas Petterson, also expresses an interest of going with them to North America as an escape from his unhappy marriage. The night before their departure, Kristina reveals to Karl Oskar that she is expecting another child. The party travels south from Korpamoen to the port city of Karlshamn, where they board the wooden brig Charlotta, which is bound for New York City. On board, Karl Oskar and Kristina meet Mans and Fina Kajsa Andersson, an elderly couple heading for the Minnesota Territory, where they plan to settle on their son's farm near a town called Taylor's Falls. After hearing how good the land is there, Karl Oskar and Kristina decide to follow them to Minnesota. During the voyage, Inga Lena and Mans Andersson die of sudden illnesses, which nearly claims Kristina as well.
Upon their arrival in New York, Karl Oskar and his party along with Fina Kajsa begin the long journey westward to Minnesota, first by train, then by riverboat.....

In a wonderful scene, a blizzard comes up, and the father knows the son is not going to make it.

More PETA (the other one) news. Perhaps I'll do an 88 part series. When I get time.
ReplyDeletePETA’s the Best—At Killing Dogs and Cats
Another year, another pile of dead dogs and cats for the crematorium, courtesy of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Late Tuesday night—almost literally at the last minute—PETA filed its 2016 animal custody information with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) admitting it had killed nearly 72% of the cats and dogs that came through the “animal shelter” at its headquarters. That’s 1,411 dead dogs and cats at the hands of PETA last year alone.
Since reporting euthanasia statistics became mandatory in 1998, PETA has killed over 85%, or 36,000, of the animals at its Norfolk “shelter.” A 2010 audit by a VDACS veterinarian found that most animals were killed in their first 24 hours at the facility.
A deeper look at the numbers shows even more appalling statistics: PETA’s kill rate for dogs was 16.3 times the rate of other private shelters in Virginia.
Bear in mind that PETA is under no government responsibility to run a shelter or to euthanize animals. They openly admit to the killings of these animals because they say these animals are in some way “unadoptable.” But even a cursory look at statistics from other shelters in the commonwealth shows that PETA is an extreme outlier in their keenness to utilize euthanasia. And when they were caught throwing recently-killed dead dogs and cats in a strip mall dumpster, their victims were cute, adoptable pets.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will likely be able to remain at the Ecuadorean Embassy in London after voters in Ecuador on Sunday narrowly elected ruling party candidate Lenín Moreno over conservative Guillermo Lasso.
Moreno, the political successor to President Rafael Correa, had said he would allow Assange to stay. Correa in 2012 granted asylum to Assange, who hasn’t left the embassy since.
Moreno won the presidential runoff with 51% of the vote, according to an official quick count by by the National Electoral Council, although Lasso was seeking a recount after three exit polls showed him winning by a comfortable margin. Minutes earlier a separate quick count by a respected local group said the race was a technical tie with a difference of less than 0.6 percentage points separating the two candidates. The group refrained from saying which candidate was leading until the electoral authorities made their pronouncement....

DeleteRobert Spencer: Muslim MP Turns Up the Heat in Her Battle Against Free Speech in Australia
ReplyDeleteBy Robert Spencer - on April 2, 2017
FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN THE AGE OF JIHAD
Heat Street reported Thursday that Anne Aly, a Muslim MP in Australia, has “called for tougher speech laws so that it is illegal to offend Muslims because of their religion.” She declares that “race discrimination laws should be expanded to cover insults based on religion as well.” This would, of course, establish Muslims as a protected class, beyond criticism, including counter-terror analysis. If Anne Aly succeeds, the jihad can advance in Australia, and no one would be able to say a word in opposition to it.
Anne Aly has for years been an Islamic supremacist foe of free discourse. In August 2014 I wrote here about her false claims that Islam doesn’t sanction beheading and grants equality of rights to women. Instead of responding on substance, which I understand that she could not really do since I had produced numerous Qur’an verses that rather directly showed her to be lying, she claimed that she had received “hate mail” from Jihad Watch readers; six months later that claim had morphed into death threats. Predictably, that became the story, as dubious as her claims were, not her deceptions.
Now, if she gets her way in Australia, she could just have me arrested — not for the alleged hate mail or death threats, but for my initial post exposing her deceptions. This proposed law clearly would establish Muslims as a protected class, above all criticism, which would have the effect of allowing the jihad to advance unimpeded and unopposed.
And it would do all this because criticizing Islam would be considered “racist.” This is so obviously ridiculous that the far-Left fake news and propaganda outfit BuzzFeed rushed to Aly’s defense, running a particularly striking and revolting example of a hard-Left propagandist running interference for the imposition of Sharia blasphemy laws. Aly was given space on BuzzFeed Australia’s political podcast to explain that “anti-Muslim hatred” should be considered racist.
Mark Di Stefano of BuzzFeed assures us that Aly is “well aware of the ‘but Islam is not a race’ retort used by trolls online.” You see, it’s only “trolls online” who dare to assert that Islam is not a race. No serious person would think such a crazy thing. At least in the bizarre and addled Leftist mind of BuzzFeed.
DeleteNo violence against any innocent person is ever justified, whether it’s called “racism” or not. The problem here is that numerous Islamic groups have made clear that in referring to “anti-Muslim hatred,” they mean not just attacks on or harassment of innocent Muslims, but also any honest analysis of how jihad terrorists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and make recruits among peaceful Muslims. Thus to label this racist is an attempt to shut down all critical analysis of the jihad terrorists’ motivating ideology; they will then be able to advance unopposed and unimpeded.
Anne Aly would have you believe that those who oppose jihad terror and Sharia supremacism “have the same motivations as racism.” Yes, that’s right: in Anne Aly’s world, opposing jihad terror and speaking about its Qur’anic justifications stems from the same impulse as segregated drinking fountains. She doesn’t even entertain the possibility that someone might oppose jihad terror and Sharia oppression out of a concern to preserve and defend societies that respect human rights and the freedom of speech.
BuzzFeed also tells us that Aly has “worked as de-radicalisation expert,” which is noteworthy in light of the mountain of evidence that “de-radicalization” programs don’t work, and have an ever-lengthening history of failure, as you can see here.
Di Stefano also bats back a quite sensible observation from a fellow member of Parliament who suggested that Aly’s initiative stemmed from Sharia principles. Aly, we’re told, “brushed off a claim by Liberal MP Tim Wilson that she’s actually arguing for blasphemy laws. She pointed to the fact that hatred against Jewish people and Sikhs could both be protected under the Act’s controversial 18C, despite neither being ‘a race.”
Australia needs to clarify what exactly it thinks a “race” is for the purposes of this absurd and sinister law, and how it proposes to distinguish between legitimate criticism and “racism.” In any case, if Aly’s proposal is adopted, it will be the death of Australia as a free society....
