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

Up to 4,800,000 illegal migrants in Europe in 2017, advocates of border control still vilified as “racist”

Nov 20, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

And “Islamophobic.” After all, once again, what could possibly go wrong? Europe with nearly five million illegal migrants, many of whom hold to a violent, aggressive, supremacist ideology, will be exactly the same as Europe without them, and only greasy “Islamophobes” would think otherwise, right?

“Up to 4.8m unauthorised immigrants in Europe in 2017 – study,” by Jon Henley, Guardian, November 13, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Europe was home to between 3.9 million and 4.8 million unauthorised immigrants in 2017, about half of whom lived in the UK and Germany, according to the first comprehensive estimate in more than a decade.

The Pew Research Center study, based on data from the 32 EU and Efta member states and international organisations, found the range was significantly higher than in 2014 (3 million to 3.7 million) but had fallen slightly since a 2016 peak of 4.1 million to 5.3 million.

The study also found that unauthorised immigrants in Europe came from many different countries, had arrived relatively recently and were mostly young and male.

Andrew Geddes, the director of the Migration Policy Centre at the European University Institute in Florence, said the study presented a “rigorous, robust and credible” picture of an issue that many Europeans had “lost trust and confidence in the capacity of their governments – and the EU – to deal with competently”.

Victoria Rietig, of the German Council on Foreign Relations, said there was agreement in Germany that unauthorised immigration was “bad for security, bad for the people concerned who live in the shadows, bad for social cohesion,” but that the debate had become “toxic and increasingly ideological”….

    Notice, they don’t “migrate” to Saudi Arabia or the Emirates. These 2devout Muslims” don’t seem to have Faith in the Islamic Ummah. Saudi had only taken in a few Syrian Millionaires. Strange that.

      The reality of a unified umma is quite different from the claim. Of course that should be expected under a god, Allah, who only demands “love” for itself and Muhammad.

      Islam’s continuation relies on four principles: indoctrination of the youth, repetitious dogma reinforcement(group praying to Allah), a common enemy(Jews & kuffar), and the enforcement of compliance by the group. These are also characteristics of a cult.

      Of course not! Funded by the letto dollars they are told to go and invade to build, breed and expand islam…mosques are military outposts and citadels and niqabs the marking of their territory…this will either end in war or submission to their intimidation and I for one will.never submit.

      it’s called stealth jihad and the Arab nations with money do not want and will not take any of them.

    The EU experiment might have had more success, had Merkel not thrown open their borders to millions of Muslims not just from Syria, but everywhere from Bangladesh to Morocco

    Only question is – will leaders like Salvini, Kurz, Le Pen, et al succeed in salvaging their countries from Islam, or will this century be the one where Europe embraces Islam, like Syria and Egypt did in the 8th century?

    But remember: supporting Brexit or AFD means you’re a bigoted, racist, islamophobe… /sarc. off

    This is how a nation – without assimilation – can D I E :

    D=Diversity.

    I=Inclusion.

    E=Equality.

      Eventually there is no diversity, inclusion or equality! Just Islamic supremacy!

    No amount of appeasement is *ever* enough for Leftists and Muslims.

    If immigrants are illegal, then the easy reason to deport them.
