Jihad Watch Advisory Board Vice President Hugh Fitzgerald discusses the phenomenon of marriage scams and visa fraud -- a rampant practice which unfortunately receives little attention:
“I was just a stepping stone to a green card," said one victim of visa fraud. "I married a terrorist. I married somebody who did not like America, who didn't like Americans."I have known one or two of these stepping-stones. Some are complete innocents, others don't want to know. But it is not always the Green Card alone. Sometimes it is the Green Card, and the stepping-stone's property, or even inheritance, as well.
And it happens all over Europe as well as in North America and Australia. Indeed, one can find guides on Muslim websites for the "muhajiroun" as to the advantages of marrying an Infidel woman. And since women are essentially chattel, who really cares what happens to them?
The advantages are clear:
1) If you are a Muslim student and enter into this "temporary" (from your Muslim point of view, the only point of view that counts) union, you will have a source of steady sex -- and all that cooking and cleaning are not to be sneezed at, either.
2) Protection against expulsion or against visa-expiration (at least until recently). If you can father a child, or six, while in the particular Infidel country you happen to be in, that polyphiloprogenitive activity may get you in, like Flynn.
3) Economic benefits -- those Infidel women sometimes own property, and why not enjoy the Infidel loot, or at least some of it, by waiting around for it to drop from your wife's inheritance into your lap. Several spectacular cases of such come to mind.
4) While Arab and Muslim apologists now enjoy dismissing any realistic assessment of Islam, of its tenets, as merely the result of the West's, or America's, supposed "need" to "create the 'Other'" (funny since Islam itself is based entirely on the need to subjugate, push back, destroy 'the Other' -- i.e. the Infidel), in fact the Arabs and Muslims who manage to inveigle Infidels into marrying them often exploit their own seeming outward exoticness, their physical "otherness": shades of the Sheik of Araby and other cliches that linger in the substratum of some incurably Emma-Bovaryish minds, intrigued by the liquid brown eyes, and soft speech -- in short, by the tariqramadanish come-hither that ought to be so transparent, and to which one must now add that frisson of societal and political transgression that can now be derived from sleeping with someone who, in ways the foolish Infidel does not understand -- is in the deepest sense, the enemy.
But before becoming so entangled, Infidel women should pay a visit to their nearest art museum. And look carefully at the sculptures and the paintings. And go to the cafe, where some CD of Mozart may be playing. And look around, and think about what, in your afternoon at the museum, would be allowed, or could have come out of, the world that your would-be husband comes from. Think: you have no idea what his real views are.No one should enter into any such liaison without reading the extensive testimonies of women who married into Islam and "reverted" -- and then little by little saw what they took to be the underside, but turned out to be the beating heart, of Islam. And left their husbands, and re-reverted. There used to be a category of literature for children called "cautionary tales."
Those tales need to be updated for Infidel adults.
But your naivete affects, in the main, you, and your children. The naivete about Islam of American policymakers, who are slowly, slowly beginning to realize that perhaps "democracy" cannot be imposed, and that there is absolutely no connection in any case between "democracy" and de-islamization (meaning the imposition of Kemalist constraints on Islam, in order to create a secular class sufficient to keep the Kemalist ball rolling), and that Infidel interests are not served by the further misallocation of men, money, material, and attention in order to pursue the will-o'-the-wisp of this Light Unto the Muslim Nations.
Besides, for 80 years there has already been a Light Unto the Muslim Nations. It is called Turkey. Ataturk did what he could to constrain Islam, step by systematic step. And in those eighty years not one circumjacent or distant Muslim state emulated Turkey (except, very briefly, in Afghanistan, where the semi-enlightened ruler seemed to be interested in the Turkish experiment). Turkey itself is in constant danger of what, from the Infidel point of view, would be a relapse into greater, not less, Islam -- as Erdogan, that male sparrowhawk, chirpily pecks, pecks, pecks away at the foundations and protections of Kemalism, disguising his tying down the Turkish army, the last protector of Kemalism, as merely "complying with the requirements of the E.U." -- and who can object to that?
A futile policy, based on ignorance of Islam, or on the continued dreamy belief that Islam itself is not a problem, or that the idea of Jihad is a recent invention -- see the "Army War College study," recently put out by one Lt.-Commander Aboul-Enein, and wonder just who thinks this sort of thing, full of misstatements about Islamic tenets and what Muslim attitudes really are, was worth sponsoring. It’s just one more attempt by someone who, while no doubt a reasonably fine fellow and decent lieutenant commander in the Navy, either has no idea what Islam is all about: bearing the name Aboul-Enein, and calling yourself a "Muslim" does not make you an instant expert on what is uttered in khutbas all over the Middle East, especially if you have yourself been raised in Mississippi. Or perhaps he does know, but out of professional fear or filial piety, cannot allow himself to say.
There was recently in the news the story of a lady who realized that her husband saw her only as a way to get a Green Card, while he continued to hate America (where he could now live safely). She had the courage to publicly explain how silly and trusting and innocent of Islam she was.
If she can do it, so can the highest-ranking officers in the American army, and so can the officials in the Pentagon.
And they had better.

very good friend of mine married a Moroccan guy. Before they were married he treated her like a princess, but once they were married he completely changed and treated her like crap. She had the good sense to divorce him, but she's constantly worried he'll snatch their kid.
Better known is Abu Hamza, aka Captain Hook, formerly of the Finsbury Park mosque, currently banged up. He managed to get citzenship by marrying an English woman and now can't be deported back to Syria.
Strange how these men, despite having such a macho religion and culture, don't seem to mind sponging off their wives, not to mention all those female taxpayers like me who provide their benefits.
Sounds very un-PC, but Arab men in particular, in the reverse of the fairy tale look like handsome princes at first then turn into frogs.

Interested,
I personally know of one such case. It was a disaster, for the wife and for the children. Other women I've known have been drawn into the charisma, then found out better very close to the wedding date.
BTW, I love your last sentence!

Pre 9/11, my son had a wonderful teacher who bonded with my family. A newlywed, she often spoke of the cultural differences (aka physical/emotional abuse) that she experienced during that first year of marriage.
Her husband, born in Jordan, carried the surname "Smith".
I notice a number of middle eastern folk carry innocuous surnames, including I believe one that promotes Islam through school text books at Houghton Mifflin.

miira,
I believe that you are referring to Susan Douglass, who used to teach at the Islamic Saudi Academy in Fairfax County, Virginia.
There's more information about her at

I agree with everything Mr. Fitzgerald has said.
I would add a few points to clarify how european nations further encourage islamic population growth.
My understanding is that many European nations, notably France, subsidise the production of children by their citizens. (They pay parents for each child born.) Unfortunately, this is applied to immigrants as well.
So, not only do Third World muslim immigrants gain security from deportation through citizenship or legal resident status by marrying "infidel" (non-muslim) european women but European states (read "native european people") underwrite an Islam breeding program.
An added benefit of "marrying infidel" (which some muslims have acknowledged) is that future generations of islamist fanatics may be physically indistiguishable from europeans and Americans of european ancestry.

Ooh, I faint with delight every time I read Fitzgerald's columns!

morning ladies, just returned from the toilet after vomiting, from reading this article, I think I need some tranqulizer, maybe some angle dust, god this article just makes me want to ball my eyes out.
Aye I don't support the NRA, but can someone give me some guns, I feel the need to go and kill a couple of million muslim men and then hang em all up by the balls, and then shove their pricks up their arses.
Ladies, I am like a really real, nice polite and happy go lucky lady, but this just takes the cake for me today. I can't read no more.

I have two girlfriends, each with older sisters who went through hell after marrying Muslim men who were obviously only after permanent residency. One of them brought over most of his family (11 of them!) before making it clear he had little respect or fondness for his wife.
Just last year, French terrorist suspect Willy Brigitte came here on a tourist visa and married some recently converted twit, Melanie Brown. The marriage was basically arranged by one of the imams. It was described as a sterile, loveless match, in a newspaper story. Thankfully, Brigitte was tossed out, and is back in France.
Our immigration system is pretty strict about weeding out marriage scams and puts Australians wanting to bring foreign spouses here through the wringer. Yet Muslims, with their arranged marriages, can get away with stuff others can't. Afterall, it's "cultural".

Sheik: Allah sent giant spiders to combat U.S.
"War is deceit," said the Prophet Muhammad. Evidently, sometimes it's also self-deceit. From WND, with thanks to Ali Dashti:
An Iraqi sheik claims Allah sent giant spiders to the town of Fallujah to help its residents fend off attacks by U.S. military forces.
PSS
Remember it was Russia who tried to tell the west what was going on with the Mulsums killing all the Christians in Serbia?
Page 10306 {14/111}
of August, 1992, they refer to "the abominable double game of the Muslims that makes the war in Bosnia even more cruel," pointing out that the bread line massacre was committed by the Muslims. Corriere Della Sera says that: "Everything indicates that the defenders of Sarajevo, the Croats and the Muslims, organised several attacks against their own citizens in the hope that in this way that they are going to deepen the drama of Sarajevo and the blame will only be cast on the Serbs."
THE INTERPRETER: Could the accused please be asked to slow down.
JUDGE MAY: Slow down. Slow down.
THE ACCUSED: [Int.] When we were on good terms, Holbrooke said to me that Izetbegovic managed to play the role of a victim and that he, Holbrooke, called that - I remember his words - "ruthless ingeniosity." However, this not ingenious at all. This is just heartless; sacrificing thousands of his own citizens in order to be able to accuse the Serbs. I have to rush on. I have a map here. I'll give it to you. Camps for Serbs from 1991 to 1996. They existed at different points in time. Some went on for a longer period of time, some shorter. There were 778 of them altogether; 536 in Bosnia-Herzegovina, 221 in Croatia. And here is a list of every one of these camps. It includes many pages. There are many crimes that were committed. I won't have time. I won't have time to show this. Many crimes were committed in Croatia before the independence of Croatia was proclaimed, before it was recognised. There is a great number of crimes committed in Bosnia before the proclamation of independence, before recognition. Please, could you
Page 10307 {15/111}
just place these two images on the overhead projector -- or three, perhaps. These two, rather. Take a look at this. Please put these two on the overhead projector. I'm not going to put any other pictures on the overhead projector. These are crimes from the 26th of March, 1992, in Sijekovac. The units crossed the Sava River and slaughtered the Serbs. Please put the big picture on the overhead projector. That's it. That's what they did. That's what the Mujahedin did, the ones we saw yesterday. And we saw Izetbegovic reviewing them yesterday. What's the matter? Is it not on the screens?
JUDGE MAY: It's on the screen. Do you want the next photograph shown?
THE ACCUSED: [Int.] But I haven't seen it on the screen. I only see you on the screen.
JUDGE MAY: It's on our screen. Make sure you've got the right button.
THE ACCUSED: [Int.] All right. All right. You don't want to show this. You don't want to show this to the public.
JUDGE MAY: Mr. Milosevic, it is on our screen.
THE ACCUSED: [Int.] It's not on the screens that the public sees. Right. I see it on this screen now. But this internal screen only. So he is holding a head, the head of a Serb that he cut off. So those are the 20.000 Mujahedin that were brought to the European theatre of war through Clinton's policy, and most of them remained there
Page 10308 {16/111}
and some went to America and to other countries, and they went all around Europe. And then when they start beheading your own people in wars to come, then you will know what this is all about. There are many photographs of major crimes.
JUDGE MAY: The usher is by the overhead projector. Do you want some other photographs shown to us?
THE ACCUSED: [Int.] I don't have time, Mr. May. I have 12 minutes left --
JUDGE MAY: Very well.
THE ACCUSED: [Int.] -- according to your shortened procedure. But I want to say one thing to you. For example --
JUDGE MAY: Let the usher -- there's no need for the usher to remain there. Give the photographs back, if you would, to Mr. Milosevic.
THE ACCUSED: [Int.] Put the other picture on the ELMO, please, the one with the three heads. Take a look at this, these three heads of Serbs in an ammunition case. They cut off heads. These are the madmen that are doing things like that. And that is what Clinton's policy in Bosnia did. They were assembled in Bosnia. Look at Algeria, which is a Muslim country. How many Muslims, Algerians, did they kill so far? This has nothing do with Muslims. These are Islamic fundamentalists who are the enemies of the entire world. Not only of Christians or some others but of Muslims as well. You have --
JUDGE MAY: Now, do you want any other pictures shown?
THE ACCUSED: [Int.] I don't have time, unfortunately,
Page 10309 {17/111}
for any other pictures, but I do want to say one thing to you, that --
JUDGE MAY: Very well, let the usher take the pictures.
There are many things that are going on that we dont see or are seeing with a slant our job is to look beyond the slant to see what they[mulsums] dont want us to see!!

Feralee: As a former consular officer, I promise you I've put Thais and Chinese through the wringer, too. It's the law. Not every scammer gets caught, though.
Visa scams are the oldest tale in the book. A man I know married a Korean woman (still married decades and fine kids later) when he was in the military, and they later moved her widowed, lonely father Stateside. The old guy did well after he opened a store, got the idea he'd remarry, and went for a mail-order one from the Old Country . Well, the woman landed, got her GC, and then cleaned out the old man and disappeared. Yep. Even Prebyterians, Baptists, and Buddhists (both Mahayana and Theravada!) do it, too. And, given that INS is stretched pretty thin these days, don't expect too many investigatory breakthroughs.
It'll be even easier before long, since you'll be able to engage in a "homosexual marriage", and won't have to overcome a woman's strongly practical streak. I'm sure you might even be able to bribe a physician in Pakistan or Yemen to voich that you're HIV/AIDS-positive into the bargain, too.

Oops, vouch rather than voich. Sorry, Cath; since I've berated your spelling. (smiley)
