Fake passports for Islamic State jihadis found in Greek refugee camps

Bring in more refugees! What could possibly go wrong?

“Fake passports for Isil terrorists ‘found in Greek refugee camps,'” by Josephine McKenna, Telegraph, August 21, 2016:

The European Union’s counter terrorism agency has identified fake passports destined for alleged members of the Islamic State group in Greek refugee camps, an Italian newspaper has claimed.

According to the daily, La Stampa, officials from Europol conducted an investigation into the trafficking of fake documents for Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isil) in four countries – Iraq, Syria, Greece and Austria – in a bid to follow a trail of false identity papers and how they were being used to breach borders.

Europol officials could not be contacted for comment in The Hague on Sunday.

The paper said there were concerns about how potential terrorists from Syria and Iraq may have avoided government controls in Greece by hiding among refugees and using false Syrian passports to make their way to Austria and other parts of Europe.

“In particular they have identified fake passports in the refugee camps in Greece that were destined to supposed members of ISIS (Isil),” La Stampa said.

At least two of the perpetrators of November’s terror attacks in Paris re-entered Europe from Syria posing as refugees and travelling on false Syrian documents.

The Italian report was published amid renewed concern about the wave of new arrivals in Greece this week as the country’s coastguard rescued dozens of migrants after their boat ran aground off the southwestern tip of the Peloponnese.

A total of 58,000 migrants have landed in Greece since the closure of the so-called “Western Balkan route” last February which effectively sealed Greece’s northern border to migrants .

Government figures showed 261 migrants or refugees arrived on Greek islands in the 24 hours from Thursday morning to Friday morning – a jump compared to recent figures, which had ranged from a few dozen to about 150 per day

The International Organisation for Migration says that 266,026 migrants and refugees entered Europe by sea to August 17 – more than 162,015 landed in Greece….

    If you were born in the late 1940s and 1950s, then you had to have remembered SUPERMAN on tv with the great Steve Reeves. In one episode Superman flies a couple to an island in the North Pole because they found out his real identity was both Sperman and Clark Kent. Superman left them by a cabin that he stocked with food, water and warm clothing/blankets. He said he would check with them in a week. Well, the couple tried to leave the island on their own and they died. In my opinion, these fake migrants/real operatives for ISIS should be treated just like the couple who snooped around and found out Superman and Clark Kent were the same. Europe, North America, South America and Australia should have this same policy for all migrants/refugees that are really ISIS operatives. But these operatives do not deserve the food and warm clothing. They should just be dumped on an island in the North Pole and left there.

      It was George Reeves. Steve Reeves was “Hercules”. Honest mistake

        To Michael Casmer- As per your comment of 11:10 am, Aug. 22, 2016, correcting my misnamed actor, Steve Reeves for the actual one George Reeves, and yes you are right! Thank you! I hate making mistakes and am grateful when anti-jihad watchers like you set me straight. Kind regards.

      Linde
      That fictional couple did not “die” however; they were written in the script to be deliberately killed off later by the author for convenience .
      Muslims however, are real of course.

      Rather than torturing (real) people to death through starvation and hypothermia, I would much prefer to expose and kill off the FICTION called Islam.

        To Jay Boo- Hi Jay, thank you for your comment to me of 11:26 am, Aug. 22, 2016. You are definitely the kinder person between the 2 of us. Rezali Mehil (remember him/her?) would call me a phony Christian for “not turning the othe cheek”. But as a Justice and Witness person, I say “let the punishment fit the crime.” So anyone discovered to have a fake passport designed with ISIS in mind does not deserve the benefit of the doubt. Also, your suggestion about killing off Islam is very good. But I do not see that happening on any front, sad to say.

    In the 1800s and thereafter, Greece ethnically cleansed Turkish populations from mainland Greece and the Aegean Islands, Crete and Cyprus and now they invite endless streams of Muslims into Greece. Madness like this will bring much greater chaos to Greece’s already desperate situation.

      Ejecting muslims from Greece was quite successful in the 19th
      century – but assorted islands from Chios to Cyprus have paid
      terribly for Turkish aggression & colonial ambition.
      The entire Western World should stop & reverse islamic immigration
      which is, however presented, colonisation.
      No one should be allowed to immigrate to the West from
      Various Emirates, Republics, Monarchies – all Islamic Nations.
      A useful acronym for border guards can be constructed from
      the first letter of each word.
      It’s Them or Us.
      Muslims don’t do half measures & besides, they have no claim to
      our lands.

      To mortimer- Hi, hope you are well. I was in Greece this spring and one of the beautiful places I visited was the island of Lesvos. My taxi driver took me to 4 different places on that island, and in the course of travelling, he pointend out a “refugee” camp that had high fencing and barbed wire all around. My taxi driver was not happy with the refugees coming to his island, but he steered clear of them. He told me that awful European Union had a lot to do with Greece taking in these “refugees”. And for those not in the know, the EU puts pressure on their member states to do the EU’s bidding, even if and when that country does not like the deal, whatever it is. Dastardly to say the least.

        Yes–that Greece is allowing in these ravening Mohammedans–especially given her history–is suicidal madness.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if those false identity papers originated from Turkey.

    This is the most dangerous situation with false passports occurring in sync with Obama’a behavior or ambition to let the migration begin, create the U.S. into an Islamic state and give as much cash to the terrorist state of Iran as he can get away with and pretend he is a hero ….to the iranian american community. As usual, nothing to see here like a slight of hand. Releasing terrorists, visiting mosques, bowing to Saudi kings, shaming Americans for stating facts, or mean thoughts, all in a Imans days obligations, much like the obligation of leader on the Ave with the adoring press. In my opinion formed by observing behavior and some strong omissions.

      Since the migration has been occurring for a long time, quietly at first, and speeding up during the 50’s, sixties on campuses,schools and on steroids since, with some small dips…kind of unseen in rural areas and scene in cities such as NY and Chicago, etc….now add the “refugees”, ( add to that conversions) it is almost an invasion…like Europe and gainfully employed in every facet of life…making decision for Americans to bring sharia and silencing the obvious recognition of the agenda.

    These fake passports show the sophistication of jihadists for allah. Their religion may be retarded but the muslims fighting to advance it are well funded, organized, and techno savvy. They are infiltrating every corner of western society, have the best weapons, are expert propagandists, and murder with impunity. Call me dumb, but that sounds like war to me.

    We need to make sure every American understands fully the evil intent these muslim’s have for their fake religion. Too many think because they happen to know a “nice” muslim that means islam is not a murderous creed that threatens the world. But even a serial killer has the capacity to be “nice,” so don’t be fooled. Islamic doctrine is muslims’ official mandate for murder and war against the infidel. And muslims are migrating, murdering, and warring to fulfill that mandate–they’ve been doing it for 1400 years! That’s what matters, not that you might know a smiling fascist in disguise. The world ignored Hitler’s doctrine of racial supremacy and the consequence was human catastrophe. Muslims are far worse than Hitler’s Nazis before Poland. But our leftist fools don’t care, they turn a blind eye even though it means more murder of our people and danger to our nation. They are traitors for islam’s anti-American doctrine, it’s that simple.

    It’s time to reawaken America’s slumbering greatness and reaffirm our values that made us a great nation. Trump is far from perfect, but I do believe he can help us realize that dream.

    We knew muslims lie it is part of their creed called Taqiyya, lying to help Islam, The scam was to flood the world with refugee feigning aid and then beginning the Caliphate, Sharia, Jihad, Taqiyya, dhimmitude and beheading enemies.If a muslim doesn’t follow these rules they are not muslim and cannot be muslim. They should look to become a christian loving they God and loving thy neighbor no beheading only kindness as Christ taught.

    The only solution is to immediately stop ALL would-be “refugees” from the two Third World cultures most alien to our own, Muslims and black Africans, from entering the West, as it is impossible to properly screen them. We should make it abundantly clear, with force if necessary (and sooner or later it will have to come to that), that they are not welcome or wanted, and that this is highly unlikely to change in the foreseeable future, unless they start to act like civilised beings and resolve their differences in a civilised way. Leave them to fight it out in their self-created hellholes and wallow in their self-inflicted misery.

    They might come back to us when they have stabilised their countries and abandoned violence. The answer will still almost certainly be “no”, but that is their only option. But as primitive hatred and violence is at the very core of both those cultures, it would take a miracle for this scenario to happen.

    Criminal Muslims in Europe get many passports by robbing campers. This type of crime has increased 450% Summer 2016 compared with Summer 2014, states statistics from Europol. Refugees and already established criminal Muslim gangs all over Western Europe choose campers from other European countries, to make sure that the owners have brought their passports on the holiday trip. They even come while the owning family is sleeping.

    You will see more of this in US too.

    I am an old lady now. When I was a very young adult, I had been alerted to the fact that there was a big business in stolen passports. When I travel I do not want my passport out of my sight. Joan in Houston
