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

Germany closes its borders due to coronavirus, except for migrants from Asia, Middle East and Africa

Mar 30, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

What could possibly go wrong? The migrants could also bring in the coronavirus? Inconceivable! Many of the migrants come from societies and cultures with values incompatible with Western values? Why, you racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.”

“Germany: Borders are closed due to the coronavirus epidemic — except for migrants,” by Michael Lord, Voice of Europe, March 23, 2020:

If you’re an American, British, French, or Swiss tourist who wants to take in some of the sights in Germany, you’ll have to wait a while before you can go because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic. But if you’re a migrant from Asia, the Middle East, or Africa who has entered Europe illegally? No problem!

Last week, Germany closed its land borders to all foreign citizens except for those providing essential services coming from France, Luxembourg, and Switzerland in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus. However, the German Ministry of the Interior has confirmed that “asylum-seekers” are still welcome in Germany in spite of the ban, according to a report by Junge Freiheit.

In practice, this means that if a migrant were to illegally enter the European Union’s Schengen Zone via Italy or Greece and make it to France or Switzerland, he can still demand asylum in Germany, and thus must be allowed to traverse these countries so that he can formally request it on German territory.

“At Germany’s EU external borders [airports and seaports], there has been no change in the [asylum] procedure,” a representative of the Ministry of the Interior told Junge Freiheit. When asked if this also applies to Germany’s internal Schengen borders, she confirmed that this was also the case there.

In practice, this suggests that the German government feels that citizens of other European countries are dangerous because they might spread the coronavirus; migrants, on the other hand, apparently pose no such risk in their eyes as long as they remember to use the word “asylum.”…

    Just who is persecuting these people seeking asylum in Germany? From what are they seeking asylum? The countries these people are leaving are run by Muslims. These people are either fleeing other Muslims or are leaving because they refuse to fight those Muslims. So okay, I can see offering asylum to people who are fleeing Muslims and want no part of Islam – but people who just want to come to Germany because it offers great welfare benefits? Sorry, I have no sympathy for people like that. If they aren’t fleeing persecution or wanting to leave Islam behind they should find an Islamic country that will care for them. Otherwise, they are not only bringing a possible threat of coronavirus with them but they are also bringing the absolute certainty that they carry the disease of Islam. These are afflictions no country should bring willingly upon itself.

      Quite right. Decades ago you got Christians fleeing the Lebanon elsewhere for fear of being murdered by Muslims. now we’re taking in Muslims who want to kill Christians & anybody else who is not Muslim! The war in Syria is only confined to certain areas. Plenty of space & other Middle Eastern countries, but they take in ….NONE! Only Turkey & that’s just to punt them onto Europe. The so-called Leaders have deliberately caused this mess.. i’m surprised there’s been no assassination attempts on them¬

      Merkel’s current decision makes loud and clear her underlying desire to subvert and destroy the Germany we knew.

    I wonder. Trudeau, the Canadian Premier, announced the same thing 29-30/MAR/20. Try & cross from the USA, you’re sent back. however, you cam fly in from the Muslim world & sub-Saharan world &……. the red carpet is put out for you!

    There are no problems here. Muslims are immune to COVID-19. Haven’t you heard?

    Frau Merkel and her top advisers have wisely acted on the advice of the Federation of German Mullahs that Covid-19 is Allah’s punishment of the infidels, not least the Germans and that devout Muslims do not constitute a risk group. Actually the Muslims are even more needed to replace all the German infidels who will die from Covid-19. Frau Merkel has her personal doubts as she got a good school education in GDR, but she also learned that it is bad manners to question people’s religious beliefs, so what do you expect her to do? The timing of the new influx of Jihadis is of course not ideal as the German industry has seized production but the newcomers didn’t really aspire for work after all!

    Isn’t there anyone with any sense in Germany?

    What she meant to say is that Asylum “Shoppers” are still welcome. Shoppers, not seekers.

  9. The unexpected voice says

    Mar 30, 2020 at 5:11 pm

    OMG, Merkel is insane how could she doing this? In this grim situation people should manage a social distance, not to mention that Europe Should take any single one of them and Should deport all of them in the first place.

    Muslims welcome, regardless of merit. Christian’s, or other productive people’s of the world, go home.

    Absolutely, This must be a Joke. NO GOVERNMENT,OR NO PERSON is the STUPID.
    HOW many Amazing German Citizens will become very ill and die due to this moronic decision ?

  12. Max says

    Mar 31, 2020 at 12:09 am

    That is because Merkel is a globalist that is in love with the UN and for her Muslims are far more important than german citizens.

    This is anti-White racism. Merkel is a lunatic.

  14. maemae77 says
