“We often hear it said that, with respect to relativism and the flaws of our present world, the situation of migrants, for example, is a lesser issue….That a politician looking for votes might say such a thing is understandable, but not a Christian….Can we not realize that this is exactly what Jesus demands of us, when he tells us that in welcoming the stranger we welcome him?” — Pope Francis

“Italy smashes ‘jihadist’ Tunisian speedboat trafficking gang,” BBC, April 10, 2018 (thanks to Robert):
Italian police say they have dismantled a human trafficking gang running speedboats between Tunisia and Sicily whose members had jihadist sympathies.
Up to 15 migrants were on each boat, paying up to €5,000 ($6,100; £4,400) each for the four-hour crossing from Nabeul to Trapani, police said.
In one wiretapped call, a gang associate reportedly suggested he was planning to carry out a suicide attack in France and asked for prayers.
Thirteen people have been arrested.
They included suspects from Italy, Tunisia and Morocco, police said.
Some of the gang’s members had jihadist sympathies and had displayed “hostile attitudes to Western culture” and spread “propaganda” via fake profiles on social media, a police statement said….

Most of these migrant flotillas never reach Europe. They are fished out of the ocean by European flagged, Soros-funded NGO ships and ferried to European ports; in open violation of maritime Law. By law, they should be repatriated at closer African ports. If that had been done from Day-1, there would be no migrant crisis in the Mediterranean.
Save Europe says
When these vile NGO groups go within 13 Nautical miles of the Libyan Coast, collude with those in Libya who are providing the boats, and pick up the illegals, then these boats should be seized by various Navies; those on board arrested, and the aforementioned illegals returned whence they came.

Law is ignored.
This is the Mogherini Ferry Service.

Italy: Muslim speedboat gang with “jihadist sympathies” smuggled Muslim migrants into Europe
……………………..
Glad they were caught. Now, what about the Jihadists they smuggled in? Apprehended? Deported?

Idiotic Italians have accepted millions of them. Lead by a venal, reptilian, globalist pope. The stupidity of European nations, since the formation of the EU & since this manufactured immigration crisis is unprecedented. Everyone of them deserve to hang for genocide & treason.

No doubt, then, the smugglers gave preferential treatment to jihadis with terror plans over garden variety migrants.

“… paying up to €5,000 ($6,100; £4,400) each…” migrants sure have a lot of money….
