In a spark of hope which shows at least some efforts to curb illegal migration, a French court has sentenced an imam—an Iranian national—“to two years in prison for helping migrants try to cross the English Channel in inflatable boats.”
The clear dangers in crossing the Channel played a role in the Imam’s arrest, but France–like other Western nations–also needs to guard its borders, not only from Islamization but also from a criminal element that is seeping in through illegal migration. The crime-Jihad terror nexus is a burgeoning problem. “According to the prosecution, the imam was in contact with organised gangs of traffickers and took a commission on the sale of each boat.” There has been “a trend of a new influx of Iranians arriving in Calais….the surge in attempts is being fueled by organised criminal and mafia networks in France, according to Ingrid Parrot, who works for the Maritime prefecture.”
“France jails imam over Channel migrant crossings”, BBC, June 3, 2019:
A French court has sentenced an imam to two years in prison for helping migrants try to cross the English Channel in inflatable boats.
The 39-year-old Iranian national was accused of arranging several crossings from northern France to England.
A 29-year-old Senegalese man who attended the mosque where the imam preaches also stood trial.
He was given nine months in jail and was banned from visiting Nord and Pas-de-Calais for three years.
The imam, who has not been named in French media, fainted upon hearing his sentence.
The men admitted providing six or seven dinghies after they were arrested in April, French newspaper Le Figaro reported.
The investigation started in late March when life jackets, wet pullovers and a rubber dinghy were discovered on a beach in northern France.
According to the prosecution, the imam was in contact with organised gangs of traffickers and took a commission on the sale of each boat.
Police found two boats, three outboard engines and life jackets in the imam’s house. The two men confessed to buying seven boats between December 2018 and April 2019.
The imam claimed he visited a shop in Deulemont, on the border with Belgium, to purchase dinghies for a person he identified only as Kamal….

Be ambition of that “mullah regime of Iran to use one or more of its Imams as toll to smuggle illegal migrants into France be the illegal migrants be criminals send to smuggle into the nation France by crime ,in order the harm and wear -down the France of be the illegal migrants be sleeper jihadist waiting for activated from a signal from Tehran to engage in a jihad terror mass murder attack or attacks. It all amount to in the Muslim terrorism by Islamic violence .
Such malice scheming with vicious and malice intentions on the part of those in power in the Islamic tyranny of Iran strongly reflects the actual legacy of Ayatollah Khomeini is the of violence and war. To be more specific Islamic violence and war. Strangely, there are many young people and strangely many older people, who are Westerns who in the United States as well other countries of the West are, no doubt sincere but very misinformed ,as in misled, therefore say ,because they believe it, that “Islam is a peaceful and non-violent religion .” To those people the first and supreme Ayatollah Khomeini , who was the very head this current Islamic regime of Iran knows better stated about how he feels about those naive Westerns .For he declared “Islam grew with blood….Islam is a religion of blood for the infidels” He also said “Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war….I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.” [1]
So, in other words Ayatollah Khomenei felt nothing but arrogant contempt for those people who say that his religion “Is a peaceful religion” and understand that they in ignorant and uninformed.
Therefore the West needs to wake up to the reality of the truth about the actual violent essence of this religion.

Iran would love to get agents into UK. As well, Muslims, with massive inconsistency and breathtaking cognitive dissonance, mostly hate living in their own dysfunctional Muslim countries. Muslims want to get out of Berzerkistans urgently, but they have trouble seeing that Islam causes the dysfunctionality they seek to escape. Muslim leaders like this imam seem hellbent on spreading the dysfunctionality of failed Islamic societies that are such undesirable places to live.
We should remind Muslims we see their cognitive dissonance. They want to believe in Islam, even though they clearly see that Islam is a failure and Muslims themselves are fleeing from it.
gravenimage says
Of course, Mortimer, most Muslims also want to impose Shari’ah in the new places they are invading.
Some may come for the freedom and higher standard of living, but many intend to destroy just that if they can.
Rufolino says
Very interesting assessment Mortimer -thanks.
winoceros says
They always claim it’s the political problems in their nations. If Islam is so moral, and Mohamed is such a perfect example, why are there so many corrupt individuals in charge? Why the dysfunction? How do they get it so wrong?
gravenimage says
Good questions.
Walter Sieruk says
This article of this site reveals that Iran by the use of its stooges ,as an imam or by other methods reveal that those Muslims in control of that tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran have insidious and sinister Islamic intentions.
This should be of no surprise to any informant person, in fact , it figures for the real legacy Ayatollah Khomeini who was the Imam who was so powerful that he played large role in the establishment of the current Islamic tyranny of Iran which has the official title of “ The Islamic Republic of Iran” Khomeini had declared “ Jihad or Holy War ,which is for the conquest of [other ] countries and kingdoms , becomes incumbent after the formation of the Islamic State in the presence of the Imam or in accordance with his command. Then Islam makes it incumbent on all males…to prepare themselves for the conquest of countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world… those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world. The goal of this conquest would be to establish the hegemony of Islamic law.” [1]

France jails Iranian Imam over English Channel migrant inflatable boat crossings
………………..
*Good*. They should deport him back to Iran after he has served his sentence.
And as I’ve pointed out before, this gives the lie to the claim that Muslims are illegally entering Western countries because they are afraid for their safety–as though France is not a safe nation, and they have to flee to the UK. Just ludicrous.
Westman says
I would guess, Graven, that Sadiq Kahn’s London is the draw as an established complete community of economy, religion, and the immigrant’s language. The French take a dim view of migrants who don’t learn French, while the London community can support a complete lifestyle for an immigrant who doesn’t or won’t learn English – and, more importantly, with better government social benefits. I remember the camps in Calias where immigrants were trying to get through the chunnel.
gravenimage says
I agree, Westman–I think the Brits are more generous with the dole, as well. I just meant that no Muslim in France can claim that they are in danger and have to flee to the UK.
Westman says
And you are absolutely right, Graven. The majority of Muslim migration was always about economic improvement. The EU opened its doors to a wave of economic migrants, mostly not Syrians, who threw away their passports, refused to register in the first EU nation reached, and went on to the EU nations with the best immediate benefits.
The justification of of open doors for war refugees was false from the start. It opened the doors and invigorated the traffickers to spread the word. It was once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They were fleeing the results of an Islamic economy and headed for the EU trough.
gravenimage says
If these Muslims wanted to work hard and make a new life for themselves it would be different–but most not only want to live off the dole, but–*far* worse–want to impose Islam on the West.
Westman says
I’m hoping many find the new freedom will allow them to move away from Islam. If they go inside a no-go area that may be impossible because Islam gives every member the right to be a Sharia policeman.

“If these Muslims wanted to work hard and make a new life for themselves it would be different”…..and they wouldn’t have to go to the UK or anywhere else to do that! Most of them are literally sitting billions of gallons of oil in the middle east, and even if they aren’t there are other legitimate ways making a decent lifestyle where they are – look at the success of Israel. Then compare Israel with the dismal medieval messes around it and it’s obvious where the problem lies. There should hardly be any need for migration at all if we all exercise a bit of creative, civilised enterprise and make something of patch of ground we’ve got – the japanese have hardly anything at all on their patch, but look at their success story! It seems, sadly, that there are those amongst us in the so-called ‘international community’ who collectively would have problems attempting to organise an alcoholic festivity in a brewery but still think that they are somehow entitled to the benefits that others have earned through their own talents, efforts and hard-won expertise. At best, this is the philosophy of the disreputable scrounging parasite; at worst, it’s the philosophy of the fraudster and thieving criminal But it’s even more pathetic, disgusting and despicable when it’s apparently ‘justified’ by some deluded belief in one’s presumed ‘superiority’ as the ‘chosen ones’ of a clearly-contrived and transparently spuriously plagiarised ‘deity’ that was obviously originally cynically concocted purely as a marketing ploy to advance the despotic ambitions of 7th. century political criminal. And it becomes more than dangerous when these present-day ‘chosen ones’ are allowed the freedom to enact their delusions of God-given superiority by presuming the right to dictate the affairs of the places whose assets and territory they’ve assumed are somehow rightfully their property.
Today marks the anniversary of the D-Day landings when Western allied troops began the process of ridding Europe of the evil Nazis. How strange that, 75 years later, the authorities look on as boatloads of trespassing proto-nazi toxic cuckoos simultaneously cross the channel in other other direction to spread the benefits of their peaceful superiority to a land that oddly doesn’t seem to be quite as peaceful as it was before they came.

A few Muslims *do* leave Islam in the West–but far more come here to impose Islam on us.
Cicero says
The question which comes to mind is – why this influx of muslims to the UK from Iran and from Iraq ? And why now ?
Muslims in Iran are by and large Shiites. Muslims fleeing from Iraq could be Iraqi Kurds who may also be Shiites. The majority of muslims in the UK are from the Sunni tradition
It might be that the Shia muslim community feel themselves to be a minority in the muslim British community and need their numbers to be swelled to afford themselves a sense of solidity and security within the wider British Islamic community .
Bearing in mind how hated the Shiites are by the Sunnis perhaps the Shiite Muslim community in the UK are being prudent in aiding, abetting and facilitating the latest Rabat in the ongoing Islamic conquest of the United Kingdom
gravenimage says
Shias want to be in on the conquest of the West as well.

recently i started listening to pakstan musik and i feel week i see whhy they angrry aplogees in order need ticket to scythian hessrtl byeeee later gatit Seriously nowi get it i still am v
Jay says
England and France, as well as Germany are lost! Such light jail time is insulting for these crimes!
The unfettered invasion of illegal Muslims into Europe and England has caused chaos, crime, disease,
no go zones, terror attacks, loss of soverignity, high costs of welfare and medical, etc etc. there is no acclimation , only invasion and demands. Examples are 9/11 and the Notre Dame fire, and too many others
to mention.
I pray France, Germany and England wake up and stop the insanity and hold their governments accountable! Hungary, Poland and Italy are trying to keep their countries soverign and protecting their borders! PM Churchill is not resting easy today!! The sacrifices of WWII should never be forgotten.
The USA will not save them again!!!
Pres Trump understands the severity of this worldwide problem. It’s why he was elected

The Imam and his co-conspirator should be deported pronto! Never to return! Why should French tax payers pay for these immigrants who are enemies of France?
BVC says
He fainted…i LOVE it. Now, while he does his prison term, he will tell everyone how he is the victim. I seriously would of bought a ticket to see him faint though =)
Ed of Ct. USA says
Deport this Iman and ALL of the illegal alien invaders once they serve their Prison terms.

Better still let them serve sentence in their own country why should British taxpayers pay for their bed & halal food.
Maggie says
French even 😂
Giacomo Latta says
Time for some non-muslim jizya.
Keys says
Good questions, Cicero. “why this influx of muslims to the UK from Iran and from Iraq ? And why now ?”.
In the past various muslims have threateningly intimated that there are groups of violent jihadists hidden throughout the West prepared to unleash terror; they are just waiting for the signal. One can imagine what highly trained, motivated, and organized sleeper cell soldiers could do among the defenseless.
Iran’s current devious regime would be capable of devising and implementing cells like this throughout the free West. Their mindset is to bring the war’s battlegrounds to the West should their territory become a battleground.
This imam could be out to make money, or, given the current US – Iranian tension, bolstering the “spreading of mischief in the land”, or both.
Paul says
This is interesting. The common opinion in the UK was that Brit gangs stole the dinghies transported the illegal immigrants halfway across the channel and set them loose knowing the coastguard would save them.
The statement is an Iranian imam has the brains and organisation to buy a dinghy and very expensive outboard and transport his own people across 21miles of water with the people having to refuel the thirsty engine. At night.
I am going with the common opinion.
Paul
Maggie says
And he passed out when he was sentenced, playing the victim again.
Maggie says
Usual suspects then, no surprises there.
Watching the D-Day commemorations coming from Normandy makes me weep how these fine men & women gave their all for the shower of shit we have now.
And there is the demon Merkel, the brass neck of her.

The prison sentence will be followed by deportation – no???
J D.S says
One imam out of thousands and thousands of those doing such as this …but…but…but..what about the ones teaching terrorism in their mosques? Is there anyone investigating?..DOUBTFUL!
Cicero says
Yesterday afternoon I noticed on the bus there was a White Muslimah in a hijab in the company of a nine year old girl -; presumably her daughter. They were both gazing out of the window intently as the street scenes of Hackney glided by.
What were they looking at so absorbed and so intent , I wondered. I also gazed out of the window. And dear fellow anti – jihadist this is what my gaze fell upon.
As. the bus trundled on I saw wide tree lined roads. Traffic was proceeding in an orderly fashion. People were calm and quiet on the bus gazing at their I- phones. The passing scenery revealed pretty little squares full of summer flowers with wooden park benches. In one of them , in the Centre was a small pond with a sparkling fountain and a dainty bridge spanning the small pond. All of it was encircled by shrubs in varying hues of green
Gleaming modern buildings were juxtaposed with Victorian and Edwardian houses alongside shops of various kinds and sizes with stalls groaning under the weight of summer fruit and vegetables
Along the pavements strolled women dressed in pretty summer dresses . Some of them ( Allah forfend!) were walking hand in hand with unrelated men. Above the muffled roar of the traffic one could hear Bird Song . All around me there was beauty, humanity , industry , motivation and hope.
What did this hijabbed white Muslimah not see ? Strain as she might and search as she might she coldnot see headbagged women scurrying fearfully along the pavement trying to avoid being caught in the cross hairs of the snipers who lurked on the rooves. She could not see buildings pockmarked with the drill holes of of gun and artillery fire. She could not hear the screams and wailing of Arab women who had lost their tenth child . Nor did the rat a tat tat of automatic weapons rend the air.
Where was she from ? Could she be from Iraq, Could she be from Syria .Could she be from Lebanon. Did it matter where in the Middle East she was from?
All that mattered now was that all around her and her hijabbed nine year old daughter there was order. There was safety. There was security. She could have hopes for her family there was Peace!
She could wear her niqab proudly. Her daughter could wear her hijab unmolested.
She could celebrate Eid in Hackney Downs together with her tens of thousands of co religionists . There was enough food to fill her families bellies and enough clean water to drink. There was the free NHS.
The hijabbed White Muslimah could relax into her comfortable seat. She could breathe a sigh of relief. It was here in the great United Kingdom she could put down roots…….very deep roots……
gravenimage says
Good points–but that doesn’t mean that this Muslimah doesn’t want to destroy our civilization.
Cicero says
My post was just to recount an experience which occurred to me. It was intended to show how the Islamic migrants were arriving and nestling in the U.K.
To contrast the relative peace and order in the U.K. as opposed to the Islamic lands they were fleeing.
To imply that, once they were here in sufficient numbers in the U.K. they would also strive to reduce this green and pleasant land to the state of their countries of origin.
To demonstrate by commenting on her hijab and the fact that her nine year old was also wearing a hijab that although they had left an Islamic country behind they had brought with them the Islamic mindset and transmitting it to the next generation.
To show how the generous welfare benefits and free NHS would contribute to increasing their Islamic population by their high birth rate .
And lastly to indicate that Muslims believe once they populate a land it remains a Muslim land forever ( unlike other migrant communities who disperse and make their initial spaces available for non Muslims)
gravenimage says
All grimly true.
Mike Stevens says
It’s suspected that the wave of Iranians arriving almost daily on the shores of southern Britain is down to this: for some reason foolish Serbia dropped visa requirements for Iranians (possibly trade and tourism). So Iranair began flights from Tehran to Belgrade. It took months for it to be realised that flights were arrving full, but, er, leaving EMPTY.
It’s believed that the thousands of (wealthy) “migrants” stayed in hotels while they waited for people smugglers to get them across the Channel to that pro-Islam, welfare-generous destination of choice – Britain.
