Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Italy: Muslim migrant crisis sees half of citizens “feel like strangers in their own country”

Nov 24, 2017 8:35 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

People across the West increasingly feel like they are “strangers” in their home countries, with Italy leading the pack.

Globalists will find the idea of “feeling like a stranger in one’s own country” offensive in itself, because in their view all cultures are equal, and the haves and have-nots are the same in all spheres in their anti-capitalist view; so let’s all go along, get along and be happy in a utopia.

Globalists view the Muslim invasion into the EU as nothing more than an act of charity of welcoming in the disadvantaged. Their stiff-necked denial of jihadist-Islamic supremacist ambitions, as well as the strain on taxpayers who are funding this mass immigration — including medical bills, housing, and the cost of massive security measures, since the refugee stream has successfully been infiltrated by Islamic State fighters and other jihadists — undergirds their illogical ambitions. They also ignore the price paid in the restriction of the traditional freedoms citizens have enjoyed in Western countries, as the worst jihadist and Islamic supremacist offenders have managed to gain support by means of their never-ending proclamations of victimhood.

Westerners better get used to feeling like strangers in their own countries, or else stop electing those who are bent on pursuing suicidal immigration policies.

Interestingly, the countries at the bottom of the list in feeling like strangers in their homes are Israel and Japan, both of which have a strong sense of national identity and have been intelligent in border control management.

“Migrant Crisis-Hit Italy Sees Half of Citizens ‘Feel Like Strangers in Their Own Country,’” by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, November 22, 2017:

People across the West increasingly feel like they are “strangers” in their home countries, with Italy leading the pack.

Ipsos Mori research, cited by Chatham House fellow Matthew Goodwin, notes that some 49 per cent of Italians — who have borne the brunt of the migrant crisis recently — agree with the statement: “These days I feel like a stranger in my country.”

Since an expensive and not always entirely effective deal between the European Union and Turkey brought the so-called Eastern Mediterranean Route into Greece under some semblance of control, Italy found itself becoming ground zero for the migrant crisis.

Tens of thousands of boat-borne illegal migrants — transported by people-smugglers linked to terror groups and organised crime, aided and abetted by EU and EU member-state ships, as well as so-called “rescue” ships operated by Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) — began travelling to Italy.

Initial landfall is often made on islands such as Lampedusa and Sicily before onward travel to the mainland and northern Europe. The former is reportedly in a state of near collapse, while the latter has seen ultra-violent heroin and prostitution gangs taking an increasingly tight grip on its nightlife.

Research in September 2017 found that seven Italians in 10 think the country has too many migrants, while recent regional elections in Sicily saw eurosceptic-leaning, populist parties oust the establishment Democratic Party with a huge majority.

The U.S., which absorbed roughly 300,000 to 400,000 illegal migrants a year under the Barack Obama administration, according to Centre for Immigration Studies estimates, was not far behind Italy, with 45 per cent agreeing that they now feel like strangers.

Belgium, the seat of many of the European Union’s major institutions and power bases, was next on the list, at 44 per cent. The national capital of Brussels — which is often regarded as the capital of the European Union as well — is home to infamous Islamist enclave of Molenbeek, a popular bolthole for terrorists which often finds itself under something resembling military occupation.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the countries on the bottom of Goodwin’s list with the lowest number of people who feel like strangers in their homelands are Israel, on 20 per cent, and Japan, on 14 per cent.

Both maintain a robust sense of national identity, strong border controls…..

        Mogherini does not have the same power of hillary clinton, and is not mogherini that decides but others such as the policy of occult interests, Muslims put us of them, have not understood that they should be arrogant and ostentatious, people are tired of the abuse of the government and immigrants, a day not far will happen the irreparable

    Europe will eventually crunch the numbers and realize that they get no benefit from the migrants and only costs.

    They will have to perform a massive re-shuffle of the migrants back where they came from.

    Europeans have not realized that it is the CULTURE of certain countries that lead to their failures, rather than victimization. The cultures of these countries must be changed.

    Islam creates a culture of bribery, corruption, fear, backwardness and general apathy. All Muslim societies are failures depending on how Islamic they are. The most Islamic societies, such as Taliban Afghastlistan and ISIS are absolute horror shows.

      “Europe will eventually crunch the numbers and realize that they get no benefit from the migrants and only costs”…….But surely it is the duty of the lowly Unbelievers to support the superior Disciples of the Great Prophet? We really have to learn our place in the cosmic order of things. (I think I’m supposed to add ‘sarc/off’ here).

      Europe will eventually crunch the numbers and realize that they get no benefit from the migrants and only costs.

      Europe who? the citizens already know it, have known it since a lot of time but the governments don’t care – actually, the governments get money from the EU for the illegals they bring in and here’s why this situation is perpetuating endlessly
      the government we have in italy hasn’t been elected – legally speaking, we should have had elections two years ago but nothing
      of course, now they have set another date for the next year but, knowing very well they won’t be elected for sure, I’m sure they will find a way to “postpone” elections once again
      we will most likely never have elections anymore

      Completely. Great article here on Israelis stance…some Balls and courage the West could use.

      “Behind every terrorist stand dozens of men and women, without whom he could not engage in terrorism. Actors in the war are those who incite in mosques, who write the murderous curricula for schools, who give shelter, who provide vehicles, and all those who honor and give them their moral support. They are all enemy combatants, and their blood shall be on all their heads. Now this also includes the mothers of the martyrs, who send them to hell with flowers and kisses. They should follow their sons, nothing would be more just. They should go, as should the physical homes in which they raised the snakes. Otherwise, more little snakes will be raised there.”

    the Italians are surprisingly decisive actors. They got rid of Mussolini and they got rid of the most important political party when they understood it to be corrupt. There will be elections soon and I have very little doubt that the populists will win. Then Italy will instruct its navy to do the opposite of what it is doing now. In Austria the two center-right parties have just agreed that all invaders will get only half of what they get now from the state. When change comes it comes fast. Maybe faster than in the US where there lower courts blocking national policies and a constitution that protects “human rights”.

      “They got rid of Mussolini” only because world war 2 was lost. “populists will win” I hope so, but this will not change a lot, until the top political leaders are still foreign international organizations like IMF and ECB. Many ships which brings the migrants to italy are often military ship (some of them also with foreign flags). This is a military invasion and the “italian” navy receive orders by international and foreign organizations as NATO and EU which are the decision makers in this process, not Italy.

    If the Italians, Germans, British, etc., want to save their country its going to require more than peaceful protests and silent rage.

    I’m all about peace, but at this point this is outright treason against tax paying/law abiding citizens. I don’t want to see it come to this, but if these people don’t form a militia and seek out those politicians who have literally destroyed their country, then theirs no hope for them.

    Security detail or not, if they stand with these corrupt and evil politicians, than come what may come.

      Far too mant UK politicians’re clearly afraid of the ‘islumophobic’ and ‘racist’ slurs to do anything about the immigrant situation. I’m London born and bred,but I stay clear of the cirt now – it’s no longer my London. Too many white nightshirts and black rubbish bags for comfort!

    I am Italian, I confirm that I am a stranger in my land. judges political,,printing,tv and the media are all left if you rebel you are a racist, we now have the problem of Europe with all the immigrants arriving, but Europeans should not complain of Italy because with the government of the right we have called racist, now must undergo. what happened in America with the media and the Communists against president trump happened already in Italy, the Italians for the world left have done by experiment for how to defeat the right. We now have the fourth government not elected by the people and all of these governments are the political left, the judiciary, the bankers and the media. therefore that That happens in America we have already experienced , were obama-merkel-Sarkozy who directed the fall of leggittimo the Berlusconi government and all the false accusations about him now lapsed. are the countries of the persian gulf behind the left, before there was the Soviet Union, better the Russians that the muslim shit, which is not compatible with the civilizations,,, eye Americans, that the left is making you too a country anti democratic, and antifa is the executor in shadow. sorry for me english.

    We stand on the threshold of the Malthusian Era.
    The population of Africa alone is on track to double by 2050. Think a Billion starving, destitute people on the march North.
    The rest of the Third World is following suit.
    These people reject birth control and presume open borders to the West to absorb their exploding populations.
    They have yet to be proven wrong.
    Enjoy your virtue signaling now progressives.
    Survival will soon take precedence.

      Brane Pilot – think of a billion starving destitute people with no very usable skills and seemingly quite unable to make a reasonale success of their own countries, but preferring to swarm into White countries and drag them down to the level of their home countries. Their theme song should be “We’ll drag you down to our level.”

    When will you get angry, Italians?

    • robyt says

      Nov 25, 2017 at 10:01 am

      What do you suggest to do ? The italian military navy (which is made of italian soldiers and commanders), is coordinating this kind of invasion of what are called here “resources”. In italian cities they are printing day and night the papers for the new “italian” citizens, to people not able even to speak the language. You can protest but nothing changes. The army receives the orders from the government which receive the orders from ECB, IMF, EU and NATO. The government and institutions keep saying the “migrants” are for a bright future, as if there was currently an economic boom now in italy. Next year there should be a new government with a new balance of power, but the situation for me, has already reached the point of no return. This is a process bigger than italy that we ended up to accomplish, because of foreign organization such as IMF and ECB which are doomed by fools; we have lost the 3rd economic world war and we have to pay for it. They say migrants are going to boost the economy… Instead most of these africans end up in hotels where to stay and not to cause troubles, so we are paying it. This is so absurd, the young italians try all their best to go away to some other wealthier countries, and in the meanwhile we receive all these people who have been told there was the paradise here. In the replacement of its own people, italy was far beyond france and britain; but in the last 5 years we have made big steps ahead, you can now visit many italian cities and feel like you are in some other countries, like in London and Paris. The only way to end this shame is to get out from EU the sooner, otherwise there will be spontaneous fragmentations: brexit is the first but not the last.

    I already feel like a stranger in my own country. No one speaks English. Everything is in Spanish. Your phone bill, your gas bill, adverts on the buses, tv shows., etc. Everywhere I hear Spanish spoken instead of English.

    This is absolutely lunatic!
    Western Nations are under no obligation to accept even ONE barbaric savage from Camel-fart-a-stan!
    Just send in more female goats, sheep and donkeys!
    That will keep them smiling for years!
