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

Marseille deputy mayor says city will welcome migrant boat: ‘we won’t let people drown in the Mediterranean’

Sep 25, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer 18 Comments

This is laudable, but must these people stay in France once they are rescued from drowning? Will there be any attempt to vet them, or will they be admitted without question?

There is a national security risk involved here: 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.

“Marseille official says ready to welcome migrant boat heading for France,” France 24, September 23, 2020 (thanks to Henry):

The deputy mayor of Marseille said the southern French city would welcome the Alan Kurdi after the NGO-run rescue boat announced on Wednesday that it was sailing to France with 125 migrants on board.

“If the Alan Kurdi says it wants to come to Marseille, then we will reiterate our position: that we won’t let people drown in the Mediterranean,” said Benoît Payan, the deputy mayor, who is filling in for Mayor Michèle Rubirola during her absence on health grounds.

Earlier on Wednesday, the German-based aid organisation Sea-Eye said the Alan Kurdi was travelling to Marseille as fast as possible after it was turned away by Italian authorities.

“In order to avoid a long and stressful crossing, we must request for an immediate disembarkation for all of rescued people within the next hours,” said Jan Ribbeck, head of operations at Sea-Eye.

The ship, named after the Syrian boy who made global headlines when he drowned and his body washed up on the shores of Turkey in 2015, rescued 133 people, including 62 children, from three different boats off the Libyan coast on Saturday….

More than 600 migrants have perished this year while attempting the Mediterranean crossing, the deadliest route for those hoping for a better life in Europe.

Almost 50,000 have made the journey so far this year, according to the International Organization for Migration.

    For every person fleeing some hellhole, the host country should take ten square miles of said hellhole to offset the cost. That is fair.

      Honest Ali,

      Your idea is fair but with jihadis nothing can ever be fair until they have unbridled access to Kafir’s resources as booty and to satisfy their ego of Islamic supremacist ideology and dominance.

      Taking others’ happiness and being sadistic and mean is Jihad and Jihad has always been a core law for Muslims. Some useless Leftist still claim that Islam is peace whereas in practice it is in war with every “other”

    The most surprising thing I found out while trying to find this deputy mayor’s salary was that elected officials in France receive relatively low salaries because they stem from a time when people contributed to the common good for it’s own sake. The importation of mostly young men for whom rape, murder and theft have been normalized makes deputy mayor a really shitty job. But not for a person with their head, feet and unborn children in the clouds.

    By what right, on what theory, does this Deputy Mayor dare to worsen a situation that is far more unpleasant, expensive, and physically dangerous for the indigenous non-Muslims and for other, non-Muslim immigrants too? Look at Marseille; already many neighborhoods look like squalid souks in North Africa.

    At 11.34 this morning 2 people were attacked and injured by an 18-year old Pakistani. The injuries were not life threatening although serious. A second suspect was arrested later in the Metro. A further 5 people were also arrested. The attack took place in front of the old Charlie Hebdo building.
    The trial is taking place in Paris of those accused of the Charlie Hebdo murders in 2015. The trial was halted for some minutes.
    The attack was immediately called a ‘terrorist’ attempt.

      Yes–and how much worse is this apt to get with the importation of even more ravening Muslims?

    ………….

    He’s fine with welcoming them in to rape and murder French people, though–why doesn’t he just send them back?

    And Muslims don’t name ships for toddlers–unless they want tp tug on the heartstrings of foolish Infidels, which is the whole point here.

    Paris meat cleaver attack near Charlie Hebdo was carried out by a recently arrived Pakistani and an Algerian. Western lives are worth nothing.
