Netherlands: Ten Muslims refused passport over Syria jihad fears

Feb 21, 2014 10:10 am By Robert Spencer

Controversial Dutch Politician Geert Wilders Arrives In The UKNow what? Now these ten young would-be jihadis are stuck in the Netherlands with nothing to do and no change in the beliefs that made them want to go to Syria in the first place. What might they find to do in the Netherlands? And now Dutch law enforcement officials have the added expense of keeping them under more or less constant surveillance — unless, of course, that would be “Islamophobic.”

The photo here is from a demonstration in England, but it is by no means clear that in the Netherlands, all the Muslims are pluralistic Western-oriented “moderates.”

“10 Dutch youngsters refused passports over Syria jihad fears,” from Dutch News, February 21:

Ten Dutch youngsters have so far been refused a passport because the security services suspect they may be planning to go to Syria, the Dutch counter-terrorism unit NCTV told the Telegraaf.

The 10 include an 18-year-old girl from Maastricht who has converted to Islam and wants to travel to Syria with her husband, the Telegraaf says. The girl had expressed her support for terrorism on social media and was on an official watch list.

NCTV spokesman Edmond Messchaert told broadcaster Nos the passport applications were blocked because of fears the youngsters would return ‘radicalised and traumatised’. Those who disagree with the refusal to give them a passport can apply to the courts, he said.

Rebels

MPs asked justice minister Ivo Opstelten in March 2013 to investigate whether the passports of young Dutch nationals who plan to fight with rebel forces in Syria can be confiscated.

Over 100 Dutch nationals have travelled to Syria to join the fighting since the war broke out nearly three years ago. Several have been killed.

Two weeks ago, the NCTV said the passports of eight youngsters planning to go to Syria had been declared null and void.

    A Vanity Parade on Display

    Without those ‘make me feel oh so very special’ little white hats and sharia special entitlement mentality they would be surfing the web instead of parading about.

    Holland (Netherlands) voted NOT to ban halal meat production.
    Shame on you Holland – you deserve what you get.
    Thousands of troops died for your country in WWII and look at it. Drugs, prostitution, muslims, horrific animal abuse.

    Rest in peaces.

    Wrong way round. Let them go to Syria and then cancel their passports so they can´t return to Europe. Best of all, they will get killed–result !!!!

    “Islam will be superior”
    “Superior” in this case is relative dependence on putting down all infidels.
    Islam is not suitable for superiority, else it would have happened already.

    Islam cannot stand alone.

    The absolution of truth must make itself felt over all of Earth.

    If politicians stopped pandering to Islam’s threatening whimpering then that would be one obstruction to truth outta the way.

    Our pets are put to more inconvenience at borders than these loony tunes with brain rabies, they’re much more dangerous, but because they walk upright {some of the time} weak western governments allot to them a status they simply don’t deserve.

    For the greater good of all non muslims in our countries, muslims should be subjected to confinement until proved sane, given their level of unthinking barbarity, they’re lucky to be considered for even that.

    Oh dammit, deport them anyway.

    see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unintended_consequences
    Multiculturalism seemed like a good idea because people assumed everyone basically shared the same values. They don’t.

    “A new integration bill, which Dutch Interior Minister Piet Hein Donner presented to parliament on June 16, 2013 reads: ‘The government shares the social dissatisfaction over the multicultural society model and plans to shift priority to the values of the Dutch people.
    In the new integration system, the values of the Dutch society play a central role. ‘With this change, the government steps away from the model of a multicultural society.’ The letter continues: ‘A more obligatory integration is justified because the government also demands that from its own citizens.’ ”

    Robert,

    The appropriate treatment for these little jihadi-wannabes would be to lock them in a room and show the following over and over again, until they are ready to blow themselves up without the side benefit of bringing death to any infidels …

    Seconding Charli Main, who wrote, above: “Wrong way round. Let them go to Syria and then cancel their passports so they can´t return to Europe. ”

    Yep.

    The Dutch authorities knew who they were. They knew them to be dangerous. They should have done nothing at all to prevent them from leaving…and then, quietly, but inexorably, after they were gone and once they were known to be running round trying to slay and be slain in Syria, caused their passports to evaporate.

    Let them go. But don’t let them back in. That goes for the US. One law for all: the national constitution!

    Netherlands: Ten Muslims refused passport over Syria jihad fears

    Now what? Now these ten young would-be jihadis are stuck in the Netherlands with nothing to do and no change in the beliefs that made them want to go to Syria in the first place. What might they find to do in the Netherlands?
    ………………………………..

    Exactly—I’m sure many of them will want to turn those Jihad urges against their Infidel hosts.

    As others have noted, better to have let them go—but not let them return.

    More:

    “10 Dutch youngsters refused passports over Syria jihad fears,” from Dutch News
    ………………………………..

    Of course, these wanna-be Jihadists are *not* “Dutch”—anymore than others rushing off to wage violent Jihad in Syria are “British” or “Canadian” or “French” or “Swedish”—they are all just Muslims who have inveigled residency in one Western nation or another.

    More:

    The 10 include an 18-year-old girl from Maastricht who has converted to Islam and wants to travel to Syria with her husband, the Telegraaf says. The girl had expressed her support for terrorism on social media and was on an official watch list.
    ………………………………..

    It’s possible, of course, that this idiot “revert” met her husband in the Netherlands—but it is even more likely that he is already in Syria, and she was “married” to him on a Jihad website, and that she has never met him at all—and that she is off to wage “sex Jihad” in Syria.

    More:

    NCTV spokesman Edmond Messchaert told broadcaster Nos the passport applications were blocked because of fears the youngsters would return ‘radicalised and traumatised’.
    ………………………………..

    They have things backwards—it is not that these Muslims would return “radicalized” from violent Jihad in Syria—it is that they are *already* “radicalized”, or else they would not be planning to go off to Syria to wage Jihad.

    The good thing about the Syrian war is that it’s terrorists(Hezbollah and Iran)against terrorists(al Qaeda ).Suicide bombers and all.Let those young men go in hope of no return..
