Mali is 90% Muslim; Guinea is 85% Muslim, so it is entirely possible that these “children” were aware 0f Muhammad’s dictum, “War is deceit” (Bukhari 4.52.268). This is not to say that either of them are jihadis, although jihadis have certainly entered Europe as “refugees,” including those who attacked Paris in November 2015. But in any case, deceiving the Infidels has sanction from Islam’s greatest prophet and holiest text (cf. Qur’an 3:28).
“Tests Reveal ‘Child’ Migrant, 17, Is Actually 47 Years Old,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, April 6, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Two men recently attempted to claim asylum stating that they were both minors until fingerprint tests revealed that they were not even close to being under 18.
The two men presented themselves to officers at a police station in the commune of Angoulême in south-west France earlier this week with both claiming that they were 16-years-old in order to take advantage of measures aimed at helping underage asylum seekers Charente Libre reports.
One of the men, who claimed to be from the African nation of Mali, was revealed to be 21 years old, while the other man, who presented police with a birth certificate from Guinea, was revealed to be 47 years old, after his fingerprints were connected to a passport he had used to enter Spain….

One of the hallmarks of an organization, or a civilization, in decline is it becomes sclerotic and unable to respond to, let alone adapt to, changing circumstances. In this case, the asylum laws are larded over with so many exceptions and conditions that the officials find it not only easier, but more conducive to their careers, by not getting entangled in identity disputes. In other words, by calling the documented claim of the oldster into question, it becomes necessary to obtain a translator (alien claimants routinely claim they cannot speak the language to tie up the process in the needs for translators, etc), and risk angering their superiors by stirring up identity protests. Therefore, the aliens are simply waved through.
The point is, there’s no easy way to make a complex and barnacle-encrusted system efficient or effective. First priority is to understand no system can be all-inclusive. You either err on the side of injustice (keep out some genuine teens, if you can find them) or the side of idiocy (allow in any 47-year old claiming minor status).

True.

Maybe so but they’re “young at heart”.

Even with my poor eyesight, I can tell approximate age by looking at a person. Look in the eyes…age always shows in the eyes. Young people not only don’t have a score of wrinkles on the outside of the eyes, but the pupils are different.
This seems to say the governments don’t really care if the moslim is a kid or an adult of middle age. As long as the guy is moslim, he can be any age he wishes.

Well, French authorities did catch this guy.
somehistory says
The article does not say that any punishment was meted out for his deception. It doesn’t say that he was booted out of France.
And, they did “let him in” in the first place. He may not be allowed the special assistance afforded to kids, but will he be made to leave? I’m not holding my breath. Is anyone?

Good questions.
European pagan says
If a 47 years old man looks like 17, its Edward the vampire.

Not recognizing a 17 year old as being 47 is REALLY a stretch of the suspension of reality to keep “P.C.” going, but not surprising. Anything to keep from saying “NO” to islam.

France: 17-year-old Muslim “child migrant” is actually 47 years old
……………….
In other words, this Mohammedan was much closer to retirement than he is to childhood.
At least France is checking–people have been fired in Sweden for exposing adult “child” migrants.
Dano says
Do you want me to believe that the people that allowed him in are not part of the fraud?
jewdog says
Africans often use base 40 when tabulating their age – it make them seem younger.
