“The Greek Coast Guard officers arrested two Britons of Iraqi origin…” It is virtually certain that these two “Britons” do not consider themselves to be British at all, but rather members of the global umma. The West’s persistent assumption that location or official citizenship status confers actual nationality and allegiance has already caused a great deal of damage, and will cause a great deal more.
“Heavily Armed Britons Arrested in Greece Will Be Tried on Terrorism Charges,” Sputnik, February 14, 2016 (thanks to C. Cantoni):
ATHENS (Sputnik) — The Greek Coast Guard officers arrested two Britons of Iraqi origin in the port city of Alexandroupolis in northeastern Greece, located near the border with Turkey, on Saturday. Coast Guard considered the actions of these individuals as suspicious, the source told RIA Novosti.
The investigators assume that the British nationals were planning to cross into Turkey, according to the source….
According to the source, the suspects were driving a trailer and carrying some 20,000 rounds of ammunition, four Kalashnikov assault rifles, sniper equipment and night vision devices.

As British as Mohammed’s jihad beard. As British as Mohammed’s twenty wives. As British as drinking camel’s urine.

Carrying arms and ammunition into Turkey, would be a bit like coals to Newcastle, so the official assessment seems optimistic to me.
Far more likely they were smuggling out of Turkey and into Europe.
Better not mention that though, don’t want to worry Frau M or appear slammyphobic.

No such thing as a British Muslim. You are either British or you are an inbred Muslim retard,

Malcolm Jackson, thank you for your comment. I laughed till I had tears in my eyes. It really cheered me up!

For a complete listing of weaponry,
Obama has a copy of the sales invoice.
mortimer says
Perhaps the weapons were for the ‘moderate’ Syrians.
Keys says
Ya, it’s on his email server at the IRS.
Angemon says
How about simply letting them go into Turkey?
Oliver says
Angemon, I agree with you. And if they were going into Turkey, hopefully they would use their 20,000 or so rounds to kill an equal or close to it number of fellow Muslims-they are all terrorists, in my opinion.
The Oracle says
These British Muslims were most likely entering Turkey too reach Syria where they would most likely cross the Turkish border into Syrian where Syrian Christian or Yashidis are most vulnerable. The local Turks living close to the border will gladly furnish the information needed to maximize infidel body count.
This filth was on their way to murder, they should have been executed on the spot.
They would have made Muhammad proud.

These British Muslims were most likely entering Turkey too reach Syria. It is here, in the north, that they would find Syrian Christian or Yashidis families most vulnerable. The local Turks living close to the border would have gladly furnished the information needed to maximize infidel body count.
This filth was on their way to murder, they should have been executed on the spot.
If allowed, they would have made Muhammad proud.

They may be holding british passports/citizenships but they are not ‘Britons’ by any means.

Robert Spencer says: “…The West’s persistent assumption that location or official citizenship status confers actual nationality and allegiance has already caused a great deal of damage …”
Indeed, I think it is another one of these ‘…they belong to us…Islam is part of us…” propaganda efforts or ploys.
If I may be so bold to suggest, here’s something you could do: Urge readers to write to their representatives, MP’s, whatever, newspapers, and even the heads of state offices, to protest that such individuals are referred to by their passport-nationalities; and that they have forfeited that right. Instead they should be referred to by their new, aimed for nationalities.
Pointing out that this would be POLITICALLY CORRECT. After all, people who are afraid of Islam because of the daily terror attacks such as sexual assaults, rapes, mutilations, bombings etc., such people are called Islamophobes.
But what the writer should *not* say in his/her letter is that he/she is indeed anti jihadist, or anti Islam, or what ever the definition. No rants against Islam. Instead, being just a concerned citizen. And, obviously, they should use their own wording.
Per Jihad Watch reader (active or passive) there are 6 or 7 correspondents to aim for:
The local representatives (Use the term for what ever nationality/political structure)
The state representative (as above)
Head of state
Three or four newspapers
Every letter is a vote, one of these may get published and trigger responses
Regards & Keep up the good work, DFD

“Greece: Heavily-armed “Britons” arrested on terror charges….”
Thanks for the inverted commas, Mr. Spencer. Much appreciated this side of the pond. They’re no more ‘British’ than a rat born in a stable in a horse. Except they get all the welfare payments.

I read in another article about this bust that the “weapons” consisted of four air rifles (BB guns), eight scopes and 200,000 rounds of .22 cal. ammo. This is stuff used for training purposes, not warfare. While a .22 can kill, it is not powerful enough to use on the battlefield. The IDF uses .22s to shoot riot leaders in the legs when things get really out of hand. It reduces fatalities. Until one of the Palis drops his head quickly to knee level while winding up to throw a rock. Having said that .22s are not lethal, I have to admit that my wife’s bedside arm is a Beretta ARX 160 ,22 with back to back 30 round clips and a laser sight. And she’s a good shot. I’d think twice before I drew on her.

Oops! I just had a friend e-mail me a bunch of pictures of the bust. One of the pictures is unmistakable. It shows at least 5 cases of 9mm x 19mm Luger ammo. Whole different ballgame than I mentioned above. Godddamned Chicago Tribune. It went downhill since it became another leftist rag.
