U.K. to quiz asylum seekers on local customs and language to weed out fake Afghan refugees

A capital idea, since, after all, "war is deceit." But are they following up on "refugees" they have already let in?

"Britain targets phony Afghan asylum seekers," from the Associated Press, December 9:

LONDON – Britain's Home Office says asylum seekers who say they are from Afghanistan will undergo tough interviews to check whether their claims are genuine.
Officials estimate that 250 applicants per year fraudulently claim to be from Afghanistan. Immigration minister Phil Woolas says border controls are being tightened, and asylum seekers who say they're from Afghanistan will be tested on local dialects, customs and traditions. [...]

Why does being Afghan get people asylum? Why can't Saudi Arabia take them? Morocco? Pakistan?

I can't even bring myself to take issue with torturing prisoners from nations which signed on to neiher the UDHR nor the Geneva Conventions (which means that being tortured is considered 'hopsitality' by their standards). If they are Muslim, there is nothing - nothing - that constitutes a human rights violation except for using toilet paper, not slaughtering animals in the street like it's some 3rd-world Cesspoolstan, allowing Hindus to live, Christians and Jews to not be dhimmis, women to exercise equal rights, and littl girls to not be pimped into incestuous Sharia sex slavery at 7. Poverty is the way to heaven and war is the natural state of things to these people.

We need to stop importing Muslims from anywhere. They should be getting quizzed on the Bible or the Bhagadvagita, since being persecuted as a religious minority is the only valid reason for getting asylum in the free world.

What do YOU think America? How many “associations” are we going to ignore and simply just let a CHICAGO THUG and Michelle Angela Davis Obama waltz in and DISGRACE THE WHITE HOUSE?

We have one last chance to contact the Electoral College to stop the constitutional crises that will result if Barack Obama gets sworn in without meeting the presidential requirement of being a natural born US citizen.

AMERICA IS CALLING – SHE NEEDS US NOW: PLEASE SIGN THE LETTER TODAY! Deadline is Thurs Dec 11 @1pm (EST), takes 30 seconds, FOR THE COST OF A COUPLE PACKS OF SMOKES LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!

The letters will be sent FedEx to all 538 members of the Electoral College and will be delivered Friday morning, giving each elector the weekend to consider the constitutional issues raised by Obama's presidency.

Remember: We are not responsible whether they listen or they fail to listen, but we ARE responsible to deliver the message [Read Ezekiel 2 & 3]

Stopping 250 Afghans a year wow!

Now about the report in the International Herald Tribune. http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/12/03/africa/AF-Algeria-Illegal-Migrants.php

49.5% of Algerian men between 15 and 34 want to emigrate and half of them "said Britain would be their favorite final destination because, they claimed, residence permits are easiest to get there." So that is a quarter of all Algerian men between 15 & 35 are heading for Britain. Tell me how many 100,000 is that?

No problem, stopping 250 Afghans a year is really going to make a difference.

Just copied this from a link on the Copenhagen muslim riot thread that shows the approach to the problem in Greece. According to some reports the Greek riots were triggered by asylum seekers including muslims and taken up by the Greek left.

"The incident is likely to draw even more attention to the government’s asylum policy. Greece approved only 140 of more than 20,000 asylum applications last year, according to the UN refugee agency.

The Aliens Bureau accepts asylum applications only once a week, forcing some 4,000 migrants to queue up outside the office from Friday night to have a chance of being one of the small number that are chosen to hand in their paperwork the next day."

In Britain it is probably reversed, with 20,000 accepted for every 140 rejected.

who is going to do the questioning?...UMMMM BOB...that would be other Afghanis.....

And we trust them ... right?

Fred do you think the Greeks remember their families being killed by muslims , and so why would they allow them in?

"No problem, stopping 250 Afghans a year is really going to make a difference."

Fred,

It's better than nothing.

"U.K. to quiz asylum seekers on local customs and language to weed out fake Afghan refugees"

Is this supposed to be a crackdown? What a joke! The only question they should be asking anyone is "are you a Muslim?". If the answer is "yes", that alone should disqualify them for immigration.
The British, like us, haven't learned a thing from Mumbai. The Mumbai terrorists were Pakistans, not Afghanistans. The only thing they have in common is that they're both Muslims, and both have they same seeds of destruction in their DNA.

In the current harsh economic climate why the hell are we importing anybody, never mind non-English speaking Afghans who will be a further drain on our resources? Why can't Saudi Arabia, Iran or Pakistan take them?

This Afghan family has done rather well out of us. I guess that's why others want to come here.

Is there a box on the tax form that I can tick to say I don't want any of my taxes spent on greedy immigrants?

They are 'straining out the gnat, while swallowing the camel'.

Not a good path to follow, but it is the one they are on...

...asylum seekers who say they're from Afghanistan will be tested on local dialects, customs and traditions.
........................

Somehow, my main concern would not be whether they are real Afghans--rather than, say, Pakistanis or Indians.

It would be exactly which Afghan "customs and traditions" they are bringing in--great recipes for lamb kabobs, maybe, or making colorful kilims? All well and good.

But what about some of those rather more troubling Afghan "traditions", such as "honor killings", forced child marriage, and waging violent Jihad? Somehow I doubt that they will be asking those questions, even though they are the ones that really matter.

silly question but......Shouldn't they have been doing this for years?? Sheesh. Brilliant that they just came up with it now. end sarc.

Here's a different tack.

Don't admit any more Mohammedans to the UK - period.

Instead, fast-track Coptic Christian and Iraqi Christian refugees from near-genocidal Muslim persecution. Every stage of the application/admission process to be supervised by non-Muslims, including accredited and background-checked members of the appropriate faith community. Let it be known loud and clear that any Muslim discovered to have posed as a non-Muslim refugee, in order to gain entry, will be unceremoniously booted right back into dar al Islam, as soon as their imposture is detected.

Bona fide apostates/ defectors from the Ummah - that is, people known to have apostasised within their Islamic country of origin and known to have withstood arrest, torture, etc. in order to persist in their rejection of Islam - might also be admitted, on probation. This would cover people like Lina Joy of Malaysia, and Mohammed Hegazy of Egypt.
