Honduras arrests five Syrian Muslims headed to US with stolen passports

Nov 18, 2015 5:57 pm By Robert Spencer

“We are not saying they are terrorists. They are being investigated for using false passports. It could be they are fleeing war. That is being investigated.” If they were fleeing war, why sneak in, especially when the President is so anxious to bring them here legally?

Honduras arrest Syrians stolen passports

“Honduras arrests five Syrians headed to US with stolen passports,” by Noe Leiva, AFP, November 18, 2015 (thanks to John):

Tegucigalpa (AFP) – Honduran authorities have arrested five Syrians intending to make it to the United States with stolen Greek passports, triggering alarm Wednesday in the wake of the Paris attacks launched by Syria-linked jihadists.

The Syrians were arrested on Tuesday as they flew into Toncontin airport serving the Honduran capital and failed to make it past airport security checks, a police spokesman, Anibal Baca, told reporters.

“Five Syrian citizens have been detained and will be taken to our offices to be investigated because it is suspected they are carrying false documents, passports stolen in Greece,” Baca said.

They had traveled by air from Syria to Lebanon, then to Turkey, Brazil, Argentina, Costa Rica and on to Honduras.

From there they were to make their way to Honduras’ second city of San Pedro Sula with the aim of going overland through Guatemala, then Mexico and on to the United States, Baca told AFP.

The reasons for the Syrians’ trip were not immediately known, and Honduran police were considering the possibility that they were refugees fleeing the war in Syria.

“We are not saying they are terrorists,” Baca said. “They are being investigated for using false passports. It could be they are fleeing war. That is being investigated.”…

    It is good that the international community is helping to stop these Syrian Jihadi Migrants(TM) from causing trouble elsewhere in the world.

    Unfortunately, Hussein Obama won’t be doing the same but maybe he’ll get impeached soon enough (like he should have been over 6 years ago)

    I lived in the Honduras for almost a year, arriving just weeks after Odumba and Hillary beaked off, 2010-201, and the Zelaya wreck there was entirely their fault.

    “We are not saying they are terrorists,” Baca said. “They are being investigated for using false passports. It could be they are fleeing war. That is being investigated.”… Sure they aren’t, did you find any of the following items on them
    1. A Koran
    2. Any mobile device with video history of Imams preaching
    3. Questionable papers (ex. Dates, addresses, false passports…..)

    If so question them–strong arm the truth out of them if you have to but don’t take any chances with filth.

    One may be sure that these two were not the first nor the last to use stolen passports to attempt entry into the United States. However, due to the openness of our southern border and an established illegal-entry highway from Central America to the Rio Grande, no passport is required to gain entry. It’s open season for stealth jihadists to come to America. Once here, they need only to make their way to one of the three hundred sanctuary cities that will gladly protect them . . . until they make their presence known by executing large numbers of American citizens. At that point, all will be shocked that the perpetrators were here illegally, and the FBI will commence an investigation to determine the motives of these perpetrators. Meanwhile, our borders will remain porous, sanctuary cities will continue to ignore federal law, the FBI will continue to ignore the fact that sanctuary cities are ignoring the law, and the name “Muhammad” will become a more popular name for boys born each year thereafter.

      Yes we are already like England or France not much better really. Muslims have the best defenders of Islam in the USA. Namely, Obama and liberals.

    Muslims cannot denounce jihad without leaving Islam, so they say ‘We do not support THIS jihad.’

    Muslims support jihad on PRINCIPLE and in general…so we cannot predict whether or not they won’t support the NEXT jihad.

    It’s a crap shoot.

    “We are not saying they are terrorists,” Baca said. “They are being investigated for using false passports. It could be they are fleeing war. That is being investigated.”…

    So, what’s the plan? Mind read a bit to determine whether they’re terrorist or “honest” refugees who just happened to break the law? And what to do if they’re considered to be “genuine” refugees? Let them go on their merry way?

    I’m for wait and see in this case. I recall in the wake of the Tiananmen massacre, a lot of genuinely dissident Chinese were trying to get one jump ahead of the Chinese authorities on fake passports. In such cases, perhaps a slap on the wrist with a “never do that again” prior to granting admission as refugees might be in order.

    However, I am also very much in favor of extensive questioning and examination of where the bogus documents were obtained; and look for anything suspicious that the asylum-seekers themselves might reveal.

    “traveled by air from Syria to Lebanon, then to Turkey, Brazil, Argentina, Costa Rica and on to Honduras.”

    They didn’t fly direct to Mexico ???

    Must have been trying to build their air points

    “They had traveled by air from Syria to Lebanon, then to Turkey, Brazil, Argentina, Costa Rica and on to Hondura”.

    That looks like a highly unusual (and expensive) route for a refugee. Why not simply cross into Europe with the rest? Has the look of someone trying to appear to be a tourist. Perhaps Syrian tourists still exist, but I have my doubts.

    Obama’s evil plan is to destroy America from within, and for that he needs help in the form of muslim radicals. So he is doing all he can to pack the US with as many muslim fanatics masquerading as poor Syrian refuges as he can. We must stop all immigration by muslims! They are just too damned dangerous! In the 1890’s immigrants were individually examined and those found to be a danger were diverted to a ‘pest house’ for shipping back where they came from. We need to start doing that again!

    It seems that one of them might be a Syrian *Christian*; he has a kinsman in the country who identifies as a Christian and has claimed him as a relation. His name is given as “Lourans” which is an arabised form of “Laurence”.

    http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-11-20/detained-syrians-paid-10000-us-dollars-to-flee-to-latin-america/6959246

    Detained Syrians paid $US10,000 to run smugglers’ gauntlet in Latin America

    it is possible that they are Syrian Christians; there are Syrian Christian emigre communities of long standing in a number of South American countries, in some cases established in the wake of the great jihad genocide of Christians in the early 20th century which targeted Greeks and Assyrians as well as the Armenians. Being eastern-rite Catholics, they fled to Catholic countries. Some had gone there even earlier, fleeing a previous outbreak of persecution in the late 19th century. So it is not surprising that Syrian Christians would head for Latin America.

    It is perfectly reasonable that Syrian Christians – some of whom were well-educated and well-off, under Alawite protection, before the Sunni Muslims in Syria decided to try to overthrow the Alawite regime – would scrape up their resources and flee to Catholic countries in Latin America, especially when the Anglosphere and the European countries have gone all Islamophile and are accepting Muslims whilst rejecting Christians/ refusing to prioritise them.
