A lot of times it's money. The Muslims can't make a living in a civilized Western nation so they turn to trying to make a living off supporting terrorism and Jihad. Sorry but many immigrants, legal and legal, are involved in criminal activities and fraud because they cannot make it legally in the West.

Taqiyya can be conducted for years, decades, a life, as long as you are protecting Islam, and working for its dominance. Living off the infidels is well known. Stressing the infidel's coffers is part of jihad, as is having lots of children, promoting jihad among the youth, and so many other ways to make Islam triumphant.

Dennisw's comments make a good argument, at the very least, putting the brakes on immigration, legal and illegal, in Western countries. If there truly aren't jobs available and criminal activity is the only way to make a living, then Westtern economies obviously don't need more immigration. As for the father of the quints, it sounds like he had plenty of legal opportunities for an honest job, plus generous government/private gifts to help his instant large family. He loved Islam and jihad better, despite all of his economic and social blessings.

Maryrose:

Many tens of thousands of legal immigrants from China have arrived in the Toronto area over the past couple of decades. I would say they are under-represented in criminal activity and are overwhelmingly well educated and hard working. They create their own opportunities and improve the economy overall.

It's the leeches like Abi Khalil that I worry about.

"his wife, Lina, gave birth to five babies at Jewish General Hospital in Montreal in April, 1992, Khalil became a fixture in the Canadian press..."
--from the article above

Non-Muslims would naturally be surprised. Here is a man whose wife gives birth to their quintuplets at the Jewish General Hospital. Here is a man whose feat of having those quintuplets, safely brought into this world at the Jewish General Hospital, has lead to all sorts of bounty from a sentimental Western public, raised on the enthusiasm for the Dionne quintuplets of yore.

But they should not be surprised. Jewish doctors who have given free treatment to Arab patients in Israel have been murdered. A few months ago an Arab female suicide bomber prepared to blow up the Israeli hospital where treatment had been lavished upon her.

Not poverty and neglect, but acclaim and support in Canada and from the Jewish Hospital in Montreal, for this Lebanese man (Muslim as one part of his name suggests, or islamochristian as another part -- Antoine -- suggests?). And he prepares to send Hezbollah, a terroritst organization that has killed Christians in Lebanon, French and American soldiers in Beirut, and Israelis wherever they may be, weapons of war.

A surprise for most Infidels. How could he? But really, it should not come as a surprise at all.

To the criminal mind the kindness of strangers is just a weakness to be exploited.

Imperialistic Islam follows those same pattern:
prey on the gullibility of the naive ("religion of peace"), the greed of the avaricious ("you can have many wives, slavery is legal, and the infidels will be taxed for your benefit"), the nihilism of the cynic ("the West is corrupt and deserves to be destroyed for its 'sins'"), the cowardice of the naturally indecisive ("If I 'convert' I won't be beheaded, plus how do I know they aren't really religiously 'right', anyway?") and the power-hunger of the Hobbes-ian brute ("Kill and gain paradise, 72 hymen-renewing virigins, flowing rivers of booze and shady tents to goof-off in forever").

No surprise here.

But take the kids from him for good.

I'm myself a foreign born British citizen. My parents are both docs. Most Indian & Chinese immigrants come to West to supply the skill shortages in western market. Like here in Britain we dont produce enuf docs, but still immigrant docs are keeping NHS alive. Please dont rant against all immigrants remember all Canadians,Americans etc are descendents of immigrants. Its disheartening to see that people associate all immigrants with crime and terrorism.

It's kind of sad, really. Naji Antoine Abi Khalil brings his super-powered breeding uterus to Dar al-Harb, and starts generating future Islamic warriors at an alarming rate. The Canadian people shower them with gifts and financial support, thereby financing their own journey towards dhimmitude. And all the while Naji is continuing his support for terror.

I'm thinking of the cuckoo bird, that sneaks its eggs into another bird's nest, thereby tricking the host bird into hatching and raising the cuckoo baby as its own. The more attentive and generous that the host is, the worse for its own evolutionary future.

Posted by: special_guest at August 11, 2005 2:47 PM

That cuckoo bird analogy has been discussed several times and is quite applicable.

Vikrant_C...I was responding to Dennisw's comment that many immingrants to the West have no economic opportunties and so, therefore, they turn to illegal activities to make a living. I was certainly not saying that all immigrants are criminals. In fact, most are not as you know from your own family. But, I do believe that we common citizens who live in the Western nations have a right to question the large number of immigrants, legally and illegally, who enter our countries. Our politicians don't think we have that right and that they know best. It is a tough issue to tackle, but the time is drawing near where it must be addressed.

Posted by: maryrose at August 11, 2005 4:03 PM

A P.S. to my above comment. In our town we have several Muslim doctors, two of whom have made comments in sympathy with jihad. I also know a number of local young people who were turned away from medical schools, not because they were not capable of becoming excellent doctors but because US medical schools severely restrict the number of applicants. Instead of developing larger and more numerous medical schools in the US, foreign doctors are allowed to come in and practice. Of course, most are great doctors, but the rotten apples get in too, like the two Muslim doctors that I know.

Posted by: maryrose at August 11, 2005 4:11 PM

Those that are surprised by the behavior of this man still don't get it. Nothing is important except to further the goals and aims of Islam. Everything and everyone is expendable, especially non-Muslims.

Muslims are exhorted to use. Use the West and all that is offered. Use and use and use, and eventually there will be enough Muslims in the West to force Westerners into a permanent dhimmi state.

Using up people and their resources is a time-honored Muslim tradition. Read White Gold, the story of Europeans that were enslaved by Muslim North African raiders. They were used up.

Of course, black Africans didn't fare any better. Muslim slavers used them up as well, capturing and shipping them off to slave markets all over the Muslim world and then on to the Americas.

The only purpose of non-Muslims is to work and die to further the goals of Islam by providing labor, intellectual capital, good and services and treasure.

I've read numerous accounts of immigrant fraud in California, Florida, New York etc. Some Palestinians were heavily involved in thievery of baby formula and re-selling it in sympathetic (many Arab owned) convenience stores. Automobile insurance fraud in the above states and New Jersey has heavy participation by immigrants, legal and illegal. Medicaid fraud is at 40% in California. The article I read made one reference to those under indictment and they both had Armenian last and first names. Meaning to me they were very likely not born here.

Chinese and Russians often bring their elderly parents here to "retire" at taxpayer expense. With medical, Social Security, subsidized housing given them. These leaches never paid in but they are taking out. Never paid dime one in taxes or into Social Security. Usually these Chinese and Russians have good paying jobs and can support their parents. But instead exploit our system

Posted by: dennisw at August 11, 2005 4:25 PM

All comments regarding the denial of our culture of the reality of Jihad are completely appropriate.

Posted by: texasleslie at August 12, 2005 10:20 AM

Is anyone organizing anything for Canadian Jihadwatchers to continue to exchange information after comments are shut down?

Posted by: Patrick at August 12, 2005 5:25 PM

It sadens me that our leaders seem to be blind to the intentions of these people, thus causing a possibility of our demise...
It appears to me that excuses are being made by new immigrants that they have to turn to crime to survive??? but in the beginning of western immigration to Australia, New Zealand, America, and during the great depressions, although most families had horrific hardships causing men to have to go hundreds of miles away from their families to look for work, you didnt get the criminal activities that you do from these people coming from some of these non European countries... please correct me if I am wrong..
