Cyprus to deport 17 Muslim migrants suspected of jihad terror links

May 27, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Remember: all of the jihadis who murdered 130 people in Paris in November 2015 had just entered Europe as refugees. In February 2015, the Islamic State boasted it would soon flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees. The Lebanese Education Minister said in September 2015 that there were 20,000 jihadis among the refugees in camps in his country. On May 10, 2016, Patrick Calvar, the head of France’s DGSI internal intelligence agency, said that the Islamic State was using migrant routes through the Balkans to get jihadis into Europe.

“Cyprus to Deport 17 Migrants Suspected of Terror Links,” Associated Press, May 25, 2020:

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Cyprus will deport 17 migrants who are being held on suspicion of having links to extremist groups or involved in acts of terror, the country’s interior ministry said Monday.

The men are currently being held in a migrants’ detention facility and their deportation will proceed once commercial air traffic to and from the country is restored after the full lifting of all coronavirus restrictions, the ministry told The Associated Press in a statement.

It said intelligence provided by security agencies and law enforcement authorities including Europol and Interpol suggested that the men may have either been implicated in terror activities or belong to extremist groups.

The ministry didn’t disclose details about the men, their nationalities, which security agencies provided intelligence and with which groups they may be linked….

    The government officials of Cyprus are doing their duty by deporting those jihad-minded and therefore probably dangerous and deadly Muslim men,

    For the job and concern of all good,decent governments is to protect, guard the safety and security of that nations citizens.

    Just look at all the murders and other forms of violence committed by those Muslim migrants .in France and Germany.,for example when those two countries foolishly allowed so much Muslim immigration into those nations. Those Muslim migrants brought in those countries nothing but disaster and mayhem.

    I’m glad that the officials in Cyprus are doing the right thing and deporting the jihadis. I have a cousin in Limassol and between Erdogan’s antics and the illegal occupation of northern Cyprus, I am very concerned for her family as well as the rest of the citizenry.

      My sister lives in Cyprus and she does work for the Arabs. If I explain to her how much I detest Islam and Muslims she gets angry. She tells me that everything said about Muslims is ignorant propaganda and I am a racist bigot. She says most Muslims are friendly, I told her she knows NOTHING about their ideology, and has never read the Koran obviously. Perhaps this latest news will open her eyes at last.

        One can only hope. Is she in Nicosia?

        So sorry to hear about this, Maureen.

        Maureen and GreekEmpress, I hope your loved ones are able to stay safe.

          Thank you gravenimage.
          You are most kind!

          Of course, GreekEmpress.

        Maureen Chaloner,

        Your sister’s position, unfortunately, is not unique. I have a recommendation…

        Give her a copy of:

        “An Abridged Koran: The Reconstructed Historical Koran” (The Islamic Trilogy) by Bill Warner

        Make a deal, reengage the conversation after she has read the book (she may not)…

    Cyprus to deport 17 Muslim migrants suspected of jihad terror links
    ……………..

    It’s a start.

    Question: why haven’t these Muslim migrants gone to *North Cyprus*, which was seized by Turkey in 1974 and has an Islamic government? Note: this question is of course largely rhetorical…

    Deporting 17 is a small start considering the number of Islam followers that were allowed to invade your country through migration. Islam infiltrates not integrates, they absolutely don’t believe in diversity and will kill everyone else’s freedoms.
