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

Germany’s Merkel demands that EU states resume illegal Muslim migrant naval pickup mission

Aug 22, 2019 5:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Earlier this year, German Chancellor Angela Merkel backed out of Operation Sophia, which used naval vessels to rescue migrants in the Mediterranean. Her move was in response “to populist Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini’s policy of keeping ports closed to illegal migrants.”

But now Merkel is calling “on members of the European Union (EU) to resume rescuing migrants in the Mediterranean using naval vessels.”

Merkel doesn’t seem to think that her country has suffered enough from jihad attacks, the soaring Islamic antisemitism that even she has admitted exists, sex attacks, prison radicalization and other violence, not to mention the exorbitant costs associated with the excessive influx of Muslim migrants (to top 78 billion by 2022) into Germany, many of whom refuse to integrate. She is willing to invite more of the same into Europe as she demands that other EU leaders follow her suicidal immigration policy, as she demands that EU leaders resume efforts to aid illegal migrants coming to Europe from Libya via the Mediterranean.

A month ago, the upstart Libyan leader Fayez al-Sarraj threatened the EU with 800,000 more migrants, including “criminals and terrorists,” “unless the assault on Tripoli by warlord Khalifa Haftar ends soon. Sarraj issued this warning – which could be taken as a threat to prod Europe into taking action against Haftar.”

Given the weakness and globalist assumptions of leaders such as Merkel, the threat of renewed hijrah could well materialize.

“Merkel Demands EU States Resume Mediterranean Migrant Naval Pickup Mission,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, August 20, 2019:

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has called on members of the European Union (EU) to resume rescuing migrants in the Mediterranean using naval vessels.

The German leader commented on the issue stating that it would be good to resume a mission like Operation Sophia, which was largely suspended in March of this year after huge resistance from the populist Italian government, Die Welt reports.

“Surely it would be good if we would again today have a mission Sophia so that government ships would save lives,” Merkel said.

In March, the EU announced the suspension of naval operations in the Mediterranean stating, “Member States have decided to extend the mandate of Operation Sophia for six months with a temporary suspension of its naval assets while member states continue working on a solution related to disembarkation.”

Earlier this year, Chancellor Merkel backed out of Operation Sophia due to populist Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini’s policy of keeping ports closed to illegal migrants.

Operation Sophia, which began in 2015 and saw tens of thousands of migrants rescued and largely transported to Italy, has been criticised by many, including the government of Libya, where many migrants attempt to access Europe from….

      Merkel is a Liberal Progressive-just like the Demon-crats-aka “Communist Party USA” that want Radical Muslims-that commit Jihad. She should yes house them, live with them, pay their expenses, and see if she likes the smell of “Filthy dirty Sheep” which Muslims who rarely take a bath or shower smell like.

    German Chancellor Angela Merkel has no right to make such a demand on other Nations and I agree with Angemon in saying “Until she gets on a rowboat, “rescues” a family of “migrants” and houses them on her house, at her expense, she can take her rhetoric and shove it ……”
    It’s time Germany got a Trump or Salvini!
    It’s time all victims of Islamic Terrorists had a joint claim for compensation from all Muslim countries and Western leaders who have been treacherous towards their own people!!!

      “German Chancellor Angela Merkel has no right to make such a demand on other Nations”….

      Well, not non-EU nations at least. But the EU is, of course, the Fourth Reich in all but name (as our friends in Greece know only too well). So, when Mutti Merkel (and no doubt her pet French Poodle as well)) say ‘get your boats out’, you get your oats out, and together we all enjoy the self-flagellatory experience of post-Nazi angst. Well, not us in the UK, because we’ll be out of it all in a couple of months, and then we seem to be quite happy digging our own collective grave as we merrily pick them all up from the English Channel.

        Interesting typo there. I don’t think any well-mannered person should be getting their ‘oats’ out. Sorry about that!

    Perhaps former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne has the scoop on Merkel as well as Clinton and the DEEP STATE — having heard him speak nervously on Fox Business Network, he seems anxious about telling the TRUTH ! Byrne has a lot to say !

    If the Africans can’t come to Europe then Europe should go to the Africans. Europeans, you need to start setting up colonies in Africa once again. The Africans really like you and can’t live without you. Please go to them and show them how to be like you. They want you. They need you. They love you. They can’t live without you.

      Just keep Muslims out of our civilized nations.

      • CogitoErgoSum says

        Aug 22, 2019 at 7:35 pm

        Indeed, that is what the Muslims say also. Keep the filthy Infidels out of our lands. Muslims do not come to Europe because they love the European Infidels. They come because they love what the Infidels have. If they loved the Europeans they would invite them to come into their own lands and would then treat them with respect and kindness. But no, that is not what’s happening. When the Europeans were in Africa and the Middle East they were kicked out, usually by violence. No, the migrants are motivated by envy of what the Europeans have. Merkel and the other globalist European leaders like her refuse to admit this. Even the Pope encourages the migrants in their sin of coveting their neighbor’s goods and by doing so he shares in their sin. Dear God, please send us better leaders.

        Response to GI:

        Muslims want to escape dysfunctional, Sharia-based cultures, but do not have the insight to see that Sharia creates the dysfunctionality of those corrupt Berzerkistans. They are so brainwashed that they cannot think outside the box and imagine that it was the CALIPHS who created Islam, not Mohammed.

          ………………….

          Mortimer, even if you believe that Muslims wanting to Islamize our nations and violently force us to submit to Shari’ah law is entirely innocent–questionable at best, but never mind–then how can it be a good thing for us to allow Muslims to continue to flood into our civilized lands?

          Unchecked, they will still destroy us.

          And I don’t really care save for academic curiosity whether it was Mohammed or the Caliphs who ultimately created the horrors of Islam–they certainly exist, and no sane person wants them brought here.

    Morally, and legally, we do not have a responsibility to save the lives of chancers who put themselves in danger by putting to sea in rubber boats with only enough fuel for 10 miles and insufficient food and water for the illegal migrants.They do so knowing that Fuhrer Merkel’s lackeys will pick them up just outside of Libyan waters and then bring them to Europe. In the real world Merkel would be in a hospital for the criminally insane.

    It seems we can always count on Angela Dorothy Merkel to put her personal political virtue-signaling above Europe’s wellbeing. How much more of this Willkommenskultur insanity can Germany and the continent as a whole survive? And because of “leaders” like her, Europe is now hostage to the whims of islamic tyrrants the likes of Al-Sarraj and Erdogan. https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/14624/turkey-threatens-migrant-crisis

    I’m so seriously pissed at this! But regardless of how I feel I know there’s many who are going to celebrate.
    Most of all the goddamn smugglers who will again see their profit margins increase at the expense of Europe’s taxpayers. No need to even pay for the fuel anymore. All they need to do is get those boats a couple miles off Libya’s coast and the eurotards will come themselves to pick up the “refugees”. Europe… probably the first and only culture even to invite and pay for the costs of its own subversion.
    Everyone should prepare for a repeat of 2015, if not worse, if Merkel prevails over Salvini.

    BOLLOX!! Why come to the “Infidel”, degenerate countries in Europe? There are plenty of Muslim majority countries they can go to…… EVEN without getting their feet wet! Saudi Arabia has taken in Syrian “Refugees”. Mind you, they ONLY take in Millionaires. 2-3years ago, they built a refugee camp in Saudi – fixed buildings, air-conditioned, as are all the tents. Complete infrastructure in place. The last I heard it could handle 500,000. It has ZERO refugees in it! This is simply a “Plan B”, if the Europeans come to their senses & boot these “refugees” out.
