The geniuses at the EU who came up with this program would have dubbed anyone who objected “Islamophobic.”
“ISIS Commander Arrested in Hungary Held Refugee Passport Enabling Unrestricted Air Travel,” by Todd Bensman, PJ Media, March 25, 2019:
BUDAPEST, Hungary – The alleged ISIS commander charged here last week with taking part in 20 beheadings obtained a special refugee passport in Greece that gave him air travel access to much of Europe, according to Gyorgy Bakondi, a senior advisor to Hungary’s prime minister’s office…
It remains unclear exactly which refugee passport program might have been used by “F. Hassan,” as the Hungarian government has dubbed the 27-year-old Syrian now under arrest in Budapest. Bakondi wasn’t sure.
But Hassan likely was a beneficiary of the new “European Qualifications for Passports for Refugees” program, which the United Nations Human Rights Commission and European Union’s Council of Europe implemented in Greece in late 2017 and expanded last year. According to its website, the program enables passport recipients to travel to eight countries in Europe and also Canada; the United States is not among the listed countries…
A Reuters news report quoted Hungarian prosecutors as saying that Hassan traveled to a number of European countries prior to landing in Hungary, although those countries were not identified and his activities in them were not detailed….

What a service of UN officials. Jihadists gangs are working in UN offices.
Rufolino says
“Refugees”, even when terrorists, get more privileges than Europeans.
Europe is suicidal.

One of those volunteered on Europe by the Pope. What a generous and superior man.

Who else has unrestricted air travel? Who else can go anywhere that one pleases? At one time, Mr. Trump was told not to visit…was it the U.K.?
Mr. Spencer has been banned from visiting the U.K.
Rock bands have been banned from going to certain places in the past.
But moslim terrorists…given the freedom that they would not grant anyone unlike them.
It is great that Hungary has stopped his travels and the beheadings of which he is so fond.

Hopefully the Hungarians have what Seb Gorka says they have — and kick Islamist supremacy OUT !!!

I’m an American of Hungarian ancestry and I consider Viktor Orban the ‘Trump’ of Hungary…BUT I have to criticize Gorka, in spite of his Hungarian heritage, because he only talks about the “terrorist” followers of Islam; he never criticizes Islam itself as the inspiration for that terror. Gorka believes there’s one kind of Islam as practiced by “terrorists” and a separate “benign” form of Islam, that is practiced by millions of other Muslims who don’t commit TERROR ATTACKS per se including all those “benign” Muslim migrants who invade Europe and America (EXCEPT for the “terrorists” hiding among them). When I challenged Gorka on his Islamic duality on his Twitter account, he blocked me (that’s when I was still on Twitter until the Twitter Nazis banned me in toto.) Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, the ‘reformist,’ also blocked me. If there was no ISLAM there would be no world-wide threat of ISLAMIC TERRORISTS like ISIS, et. al., who ‘religiously’ follow the example of Muhammad.
Muslims are also a THREAT when they insinuate themselves and gain political power within the system like Omar and Tlaib. The goal of the Muslim supremacist terrorists and of the non-terrorist, supremacist, stealth jihadist Muslims (who give the terrorists cover) is the same…Islamic supremacy over infidels in the West—by whatever means possible.
If there are “Muslims” who want to totally eschew all of the violence and evil of Islam and enjoy the freedoms in the West, the best way to do that is to become apostates and not allow any Muslim community to flourish in the West. Wherever Muslims migrate en masse, Hell invariably follows.
Here’s my list of various types of JIHAD–terrorism is one form of JIHAD:
Civilization Jihad;
Stealth Sharia Jihad (normalization of Hijab);
Political Jihad (Muslims elected to political office; rich Arab Muslims buy off politicians);
Media Jihad (media Islamopandering and apologetics);
Terror Jihad–(Strike FEAR in the hearts of the unbelievers);
Legal Jihad;
Educational Jihad (Muslim schools; taqiyya propaganda in public schools, media);
“Multicultural tolerance” Jihad;
”Interfaith” Jihad;
Victimhood Jihad (got a big boost from the NZ attack on a Mosque);
Money Jihad (rich Arab Muslims buy off Universities, social media, politicians);
Demographic Jihad;
Hijrah (Islamic invasion of non-Muslim territory);
Rape Jihad of infidels;
Reproductive Jihad (polygamy and fertility rate greater than native population);
Intimidation Jihad (name-calling w/ Islamophobe, intolerant, racist, white supremacist);
Self-imposed segregation Jihad (non-assimilation; No-Go zones; Islamic colonies);
Mosque-building Jihad (the command and control centers for civilization Jihad and terrorists)

The only muslims who aren’t jihadists have merely not yet started their jihadist career.

I take your point about Gorka–but he is still *much* closer to the full truth about Islam than are many in the West.

Islamic State commander arrested in Hungary had refugee passport allowing unrestricted air travel
……………….
Gee, what could possibly go wrong?
Lynn says
Who paid for his travel through Europe? Did his unrestricted passport also entitle him to free transportation?
gravenimage says
Good question.

oops Dubai police
troubling times says
In regards to refuges ability to travel internationally its not a surprise . The UNHCR policy was always there and wealthy refugees were able to travel. but what’s troubling is that EU is not able to properly verify and identify former jihadists who are posing as genuine refugee seekers and they are getting approved status as conventional refugees. !!! this is alarming !!! If authorities not able to figure they way to properly id islamits then God Help Us All !!!!
mykejohn says
Oh so you haven’t heard the news? It is an open secret that all the UN organs are more pro-Islam than all the Islamic countries bunched together as long as we can remember! Any counter factual is deemed islamaphobic disorder provided you would keep your ears to the trends of things these days.

That nefarious, blind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman …
Now, he inspired such cads as this…
How tremendously odd that the blind Sheikh would’ve been allowed to settle in America…
….what could possibly go wrong with that plan, as well?
——————–
Abdel-Rahman was issued a tourist visa to visit the United States by the consul of the United States Embassy in Khartoum, Sudan, despite his name being listed on a U.S. State Departmentterrorist watch list.
Abdel-Rahman entered the United States in July 1990 via Saudi Arabia, Peshawar, and Sudan. The State Department revoked his tourist visa on 17 November.[10] Despite this, in April 1991, he obtained a green card from the Immigration and Naturalization Service office in Newark, New Jersey. After leaving the U.S. to go on an overseas trip, he tried to re-enter the U.S. in August 1991. At that point, U.S. officials recognized that he was on the lookout list, and began the procedure to revoke his permanent resident status. The U.S. government still allowed him to enter the country, as he had the right to appeal the decision to revoke his residency status. Abdel-Rahman failed to appeal the decision, and on 6 March 1992, the U.S. government revoked his green card. He then requested political asylum. A hearing on that matter was held on 20 January 1993.[11] It was later revealed that Abdel-Rahman was given most of his visa approvals by the CIA.[12] Egyptian officials have testified that the CIA was actively assisting him in entering the US.[13]
Abdel-Rahman traveled widely in the United States and Canada.
Despite U.S. support for the mujahideen in Afghanistan, Abdel-Rahman was deeply anti-American, and spoke out against the country. He issued a fatwa in the US that declared it lawful to rob banks and kill Jews in the US. His sermons condemned Americans as the “descendants of apes and pigs who have been feeding from the dining tables of the Zionists, Communists, and colonialists”.[14] He called on Muslims to assail the West, “cut the transportation of their countries, tear it apart, destroy their economy, burn their companies, eliminate their interests, sink their ships, shoot down their planes, kill them on the sea, air, or land”.[15]
Preaching at three mosques in the New York City area, Abdel-Rahman was soon surrounded by a core group of devoted followers that included persons who would soon be responsible for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which took place five weeks into the Bill Clinton administration. One of Abdel-Rahman’s followers, El Sayyid Nosair, was linked to the 1990 Manhattan assassination of Israeli nationalist Rabbi Meir Kahane, founder of the Jewish Defense League.
CRUSADER says
….
Steven Emerson’s 1994 television documentary “Terrorists Among Us: Jihad in America” contains a video of Abdel-Rahman in Detroit, calling for jihad against the “infidel”.[16]
In 1993, Egypt suffered a spate of terrorist attacks. In that year, over 1,100 people in Egypt were either killed or wounded due to terrorist attack. By comparison, the number for the prior year was 322.[17] According to The New York Times, these attacks had “shaken the Egyptian Government”.[18]
Abdel-Rahman was the spiritual leader of Al-Jama’a al-Islamiyya, which included the terrorists who were conducting these attacks.[18] At that time, he was recording his sermons in Brooklyn on cassette tapes and sending them to Egypt. These tapes were duplicated and given to tens of thousands of followers in Cairo. In these tapes, Abdel-Rahman called for the murder of infidels, for the ousting of Hosni Mubarak, and for Egypt to become a pure Islamic state.[18]
Mamdouh Beltagui, the head of the state information service in Egypt, told The New York Times in the early 1990s, “Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman uses New York as a base. He raises funds and sends money back to Egypt with couriers. He passes on messages to his followers, giving orders about what they should do next and who they should target. We do not understand why the U.S. authorities have allowed him to enter the country.”[18]
The New York Times compared him to the ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.[18] In 1979, Khomeini was in Paris when he helped to oust the Shah of Iran. He too sent recordings of his sermons to his countrymen.[19]

Arrest, conviction and death
(See also: New York City landmark bomb plot)
After the first World Trade Center bombing in February 1993, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began to investigate Abdel-Rahman and his followers more closely.
An Egyptian informant wearing a listening device for the FBI managed to record Abdel-Rahman saying he preferred attacks be concentrated on US military targets, but also stating acts of violence against civilian targets were not illicit.[20] The most startling plan, the government charged, was to set off five bombs in 10 minutes, blowing up the United Nations, the Lincoln and Holland tunnels, the George Washington Bridge and a federal building housing the FBI.[21] Government prosecutors showed videotapes of the defendants mixing bomb ingredients in a garage before their arrest in 1993.[22]Abdel-Rahman was arrested on 24 June 1993, along with nine of his followers.[23] On 1 October 1995, he was convicted of seditious conspiracy, solicitation to murder Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, conspiracy to murder President Mubarak, solicitation to attack a U.S. military installation, and conspiracy to conduct bombings; in 1996 he was sentenced to life in solitary confinement without parole.[24][25]
Abdel-Rahman began serving his life sentence at the FMC Rochester in Minnesota.[26] After the September 11 attacks, he was transferred to the FMC Butner in North Carolina.[27] He died there on 18 February 2017 at the age of 78 due to complications from diabetes and coronary arterial disease.[28]
It was arranged for the U.S. to transport his body to Egypt for his funeral.[29] His funeral was mentioned in an article in the publication Al-Masra by the terrorist group Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.[30][31][32]
Efforts for release
In a speech to supporters in Cairo’s Tahrir Square on 30 June 2012, Mohamed Morsi briefly mentioned that he would work to free Omar Abdel-Rahman, along with other Egyptians who were arrested during the revolution.[33] A Brotherhood spokesperson later said that the extradition was for humanitarian reasons and that Morsi didn’t intend to overturn Abdel-Rahman’s criminal convictions.[34]
During the 2013 In Aménas hostage crisis, a Mauritanian news organization reported that the kidnappers had offered to swap American hostages in Algeria for the release of Abdel-Rahman and Aafia Siddiqui.[35] US State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland stated that the United States would not negotiate with the terrorists.[36]
Legacy
Abdel-Rahman’s imprisonment became a rallying point for Islamic militants around the world, including Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden [d.2011].[37] In 1997, members of his group Al-Jama’a al-Islamiyya conducted two attacks against European visitors to Egypt, including the massacre of 58 tourists at Deir el-Bahri in Luxor. In addition to killing women and children, the attackers mutilated a number of bodies and distributed leaflets throughout the scene demanding Abdel-Rahman’s release.[citation needed]
In 2005, members of Abdel-Rahman’s legal team, including lawyer Lynne Stewart, were convicted of facilitating communication between Abdel-Rahman and members of the terrorist organization Al-Jama’a al-Islamiyya in Egypt. They received long federal prison sentences, based on their violated obligation to keep Abdel-Rahman incommunicado while providing him legal counsel.
Qasim al Raymi, leader of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, eulogized Abdul Rahman on March 6.[38] His eulogy was critical of the USA.
