Spain warns of jihadist infiltration threat with ‘avalanche’ of refugees

Sep 8, 2015 11:51 am By Robert Spencer

“The vast majority are refugees fleeing war, terror, but we can’t forget the Daesh is over there and these barbarians have shown that they are capable of carrying out their threats.”

At last, someone in power willing to state the obvious.

“Spain warns of jihadist infiltration threat with ‘avalanche’ of refugees,” AFP, September 7, 2015 15:14 GMT+02:00

Spain’s interior minister on Monday called for tighter controls to prevent members of the armed jihadist group Isis from infiltrating the “avalanche” of refugees arriving in Europe from Syria.

“The vast majority are refugees fleeing war, terror, but we can’t forget the Daesh is over there and these barbarians have shown that they are capable of carrying out their threats,” Interior Minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz told daily ABC using the Arabic acronym for the group.

“How can we doubt that, among this avalanche people who are not refugees could infiltrate themselves,” he added in the interview published in the conservative newspaper.

“Besides it is obvious that these people are fleeing above all Syria and Daesh is established there,” he added.

“Spain will not refuse the right of asylum to anyone,” Diaz told ABC before adding that “controls must be strengthened to welcome these people”.

European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker was expected to unveil a plan on Wednesday to relocate 120,000 refugees in EU countries under a mandatory quota system.

Under Juncker’s proposal, Germany and France will take half of the refugees to relieve the burden on Greece, Italy and Hungary, while Spain will take almost 15,000, a European source told AFP.

Anti-government protests that erupted in Syria in March 2011 have spiralled into a complex civil war that has killed more than 240,000 people.

Meanwhile Spain’s foreign minister, Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo warned on Monday that the migrant crisis could “tarnish” Europe’s image and pledged his country would take in refugees despite its economic woes.

“From an ethical and practical point of view, so as not to tarnish the image of Europe and therefore favour extremism, we must make the maximum effort” to help refugees, Garcia-Margallo said in Iran.

He said Spain would do its part “to welcome a maximum number of refugees, offer them a roof over their heads and social services” despite its financial difficulties….

      Kind of ironic.

      Catholics in Spain give refuge to Muslims while Saudi Arabia bans this month’s Nat Geo.

      The reason?

      The Pope is on the cover.

        More witless moral equivalence from R Davis:

        R Davis wants to pretend that all humans are equally dangerous, and that being beheaded by ravening Mohammedans is no more a threat than is waste management.

    Why would Europe’s image be tarnished and with whom? Germany is preparing to commit cultural genocide by taking in potentially millions of violent Muslim males. No country in the civilised world will be applauding Germany’s self-destruction, or admiring their foolishness in doing what they think is an altruistic act. The only ones that ‘get’ it are the Eastern European States. They still have a folk memory of what happened last time Islam came to call. It was to be hoped Spain would also remember, but it seems they are half blind.

      Exactly! It all defies common sense, logic, survival instinct, instinct to protect our young, etc. I truly don’t get it and it can’t be all due to political correctness. It’s like we are under a satanic spell compelling us to march toward the cliff. Astounding. And what’s worse, no body wants to talk about it.

    Can somebody clear the following matter up for me.
    How can Muslims leaving Turkey be ” desperate refugees, fleeing for their lives” ???
    Turkey is a perfectly safe Muslim country and a member of NATO.

    • TheDane says

      They are lying, of course! That’s what’s moslems do best. They lie to cheat the European countries, and now we are being flooded here in Scandinavia by idiots who say they come from Syria – what they probably do – but they have most likely lived in Turkey for many years.

      The father of the drowned 3-yr old boy had lived with his Family in Turkey for 3 years, but then he wanted to go to the EU to get free benefits, e.g. free dental care! They lie as fast as a horse can run, as we say in my country.

    I do NOT for one second consider it a coincidence Europe is getting all the Jihadi Muslims RIGHT next to 9-11.

    I just hope every western nation – European and otherwise – is on major security alert.

    I hate Islam.

    • somehistory says

      Sep 8, 2015 at 1:36 pm

      Three days away. Much can happen in three days. Less than three in Europe as the hours pass quickly by, it will soon be 9/11 and it’s best to be alert.
      Like you, I don’t believe it is coincidence that the date is closing in while this *refugee* thing is at a peak.

  6. somehistory says

    Sep 8, 2015 at 1:11 pm

    These “refugees”, many of them… have been given food, which they threw away. They were given bottles of water, which they threw away.
    They are demanding things from the countries that are welcoming them. How many in the photo look like *true* refugees? Compare the photo to refugees from other wars of the past.
    Big trouble is coming.
    The beast of islam is spreading and warnings from government officials will be feeble and ignored.
    There will be war.

    • abad says

      Only Satan’s minions throw away food and water.

        I was looking around on different sites…ABC News, whose reporter tried to make Hungary look bad for saying they couldn’t take these people in, and others and found this on Liberty News””

        “A video shot just outside Budapest’s Keleti railway station shows Muslim migrants chanting “Allahu Akbar” and “f**k you” as they engage in running battles with police
        The crowds, mostly young males, were also throwing feces on residents who were there to welcome them.
        That page gave the report of an eyewitness on the Italian border who saw a group of the *refugees*…young males, who pulled an elderly lady by the hair out of her car so they could steal it and drive to Germany..

        islam is a demonic *false religion* and its adherents are driven by demons.

      • TheDane says

        Sep 9, 2015 at 6:22 pm

        me neither! They are the Devil’s servants. Take a look at these 2 videos. http://snaphanen.dk/2015/09/08/doe/ …. That is what EU is forcing us to ‘welcome’. It is incomprehensible, but as a Christian I know more than the average Joe, what is coming… It is not exactly pleasant. But everybody should start reading John’s Revelation now. It is all happening before our very eyes.

        • somehistory says

          Sep 9, 2015 at 6:50 pm

          Absolutely right. I’ve had persons tell me that John’s Revelation scares them because of the descriptions of the beasts and other things. But to see what is happening and to not understand why and to not see a viable way forward…is a scarier prospect.
          The book is written in symbolism, but with desire to know, it can be very enlightening to see how it all fits. As you say, “happening before our very eyes.”

          Yes it does seem like we are headed for the final hours of the world. I don’t see how we can stop this. Even Christians are supporting these zombie like masses of Jihadis.

    • gravenimage says

      Sep 8, 2015 at 11:27 pm

      All true, somehistory. Also, Muslims have been refusing to stay in Hungary, because they want access to even wealthier Germany. The same is true of Muslims in the “jungle” in Calais, who want to sneak into Britain–because *France* is not giving them enough bennies!

      And this is not new–here are “refugees” receiving aid in Sweden, and bitching about the cold, the food, and the lack of a “cosmopolitan” destination:

      “Sweden: Syrian “refugees” complain it’s too cold, demand metropolitan atmosphere”

      http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/01/sweden-syrian-refugees-complain-its-too-cold-demand-metropolitan-atmosphere

      Oh, and during the “protest” these fine asylum-seekers stole the bus driver’s laptop. I guess searching them would be considered “Islamophobic”.

      You didn’t hear these kind of complaints from Jews rescued from concentration camps–but then, Jews are not violent supremacists.

      Were I a refugee from a war zone, I would be grateful for aid, and wouldn’t care whether the food was unfamiliar or not.

      • somehistory says

        Sep 9, 2015 at 1:17 am

        I’ve never been a war refugee…hope to never be…but I have been tired and hungry and someone offered me food and something to drink and I accepted it gladly. I have seen old film of some who were weary from war and when offered the simplest of food, thankfully accepted it as though it had come straight from the best chef.
        These men who are throwing food, bottled water and rioting for *better treatment* that conforms to their lawless code of islam in a richer land where they will be handed money, are not refugees in the real meaning of the word…seeking refuge…and they will never be appreciative.

    Really? How and with whom? Muslim-majority countries will think no better of Europe whether we take them in or not. Left-leaning parties won’t think any better of the West. Who exactly are we trying to please with this?

    and pledged his country would take in refugees despite its economic woes.

    Foolish fool. The EU will grant financial help for a while, but then what? And this is what passes as “right-winger”? Pfffft. Perhaps he should spend more time musing over the fate of his great grandfather rather than opening his mouth to speak nonsense…

      He also stated that Spain could be a “strategic ally” of Iran in the European Europe, and Spain is going to advise Iran on how to organize its tourist industr. Of course, it is not clear if any tourist is actually interested in going to Iran.

    As much as I am aware of evilness of Islam that no other religion comes close to matching that.

    I think the Germans are very smart in this case. About 90% Syrian coming to Germany are for real. They are most probably sick of ISIS. So they are most likely going to take Islam not very seriously in the future. In a few gens, they most likely going to assimilate.

    It is most likely they will point the fingers at the Jihadies amongst them. It will be relatively easy to catch Jihadies. There is a high probability the Jihadies may succeed attacking once or at most twice. I think that will be the end of Jihad in Germany. We need Muslims to catch Jihadi because our Governors wouldn’t know a jihadi if it was bitten on the nose by it.

    • Caroline says

      Sep 8, 2015 at 4:03 pm

      Germany is not smart. There are thousands of aggressive Muslim males heading their way. Look on YouTube for videos of how these poor oppressed people treated their Hungarian hosts. See how the police are wearing masks because these lovely people spit in their faces. See how they throw offered food and water on the train tracks in disgust. Watch how they rampage shouting their war cry. See them making throat-slitting gestures. These people behave like animals and Germany will find itself in real trouble. Merkel has told the German people their country is about to change. Well, she has that right.

      With all respect, BlueRaven, it is a mistake to assume that Muslim victims of Islam are, as a result, virtual apostates, or even anti-JIhad.

      We have seen the phenomenon *many times” that “asylum seekers” are not adverse to waging violent JIhad against the very Infidels who have given them sanctuary.

      Here’s one such story:

      “Islamic State jihad plotter came to Canada as a refugee”

      http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/07/islamic-state-jihad-plotter-came-to-canada-as-a-refugee

      There are hundreds more.

      And who can forget that the Tsarnev’s–the Boston Marathon Bombers–came here as asylum seekers (supposedly) fleeing the Jihad in Chechnya?

    I see the pictures of so-called ‘refugees’ but all I see are men. Men and more men. Where are the women? Where are their children? This is, plain and simple, jihad by emigration.

    “The vast majority are refugees fleeing war, terror, but we can’t forget the Daesh is over there and these barbarians have shown that they are capable of carrying out their threats.” At last, someone in power willing to state the obvious.

    Well, at least half of what Interior Minister Diaz said is the refreshing obvious; but the other half is yet again, for the umpteenth time, a reiteration of the sweeping claim (for which not only no proof is ever offered, but no proof can ever be offered) that exonerates the “vast majority” of any demographic of Muslims one is talking about at the moment. In this concrete case, we have a rather vividly appropriate example of the Muslim Roulette metaphor/analogy. Sure, we can say that many of the refugees are harmless, desperate, heartstring-tugging asylum seekers — “many” without committing ourselves to a putative “majority” (let alone a “vast” majority). However, the deer in the works here, the monkey-wrench in the machine, is the reasonably assumed presence among the refugees of an indeterminable number of deadly terrorists who may plan and/or perpetrate any number of different styles of terror violence — from the Lone Wolf to the Wolfpack to the Mumbai commando op to more spectacular mass-murders.

    No Western society should tolerate a situation that maneuvers them into playing Muslim Roulette with the lives of their own citizens.

    How many “refugees” will IRAN be taking? No?

    Refugees go home after the hostilities are over. Most of these Muslims will be staying – this is a Muslim Hijrat(migration), one the EU is too ignorant of Islamic doctrine to recognize. It will change the EU more than the attacks of jihadists.

    This *should* be basic common sense at this point–but clearly it is not. So kudos to Interior Minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz.

    And while the most worrisome immediate question involves how many of these “refugees” are violent JIhadists, the larger question–probably not being asked even by the savvy Diaz–is how many of them support the imposition of Shari’ah law on the very Kuffar who are giving them sanctuary?

    Given the views of other Muslims in Infidel lands, probably a majority of them.

    Islam is a cult of death. There is no moderate islam. Daesh, Al Qaeda, boko haram and al shabab are the perfect example of how prophet Mohammed lived.

    The wealthy Gulf coast nations continue to refuse to let in these refugees. Why are western leaders so willing to pressure one another openly but not the countries of Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain who share a similar culture, language and religion and have an abundance of wealth to aid these people. If you feel similarly, please sign this petition in order to demand a response from the White House.
