UK: Special forces on alert for jihadis disguised as asylum seekers sneaking into country on ships

Oct 31, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 32 Comments

This is nothing new. In February 2015, the Islamic State boasted that 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. An Islamic State operative boasted in September 2015 that among the flood of refugees, 4,000 Islamic State jihadis had already entered Europe. 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.

“Special forces on alert for Jihadis disguised as stowaways sneaking on ‘terror tankers’,” by Chris Hughes and Tom Parry, Mirror, October 26, 2020:

Special forces are on alert for counter-terror strikes at sea amid fears jihadis could sneak into the UK disguised as asylum seekers on ships.

It comes after the SBS stormed oil tanker Nave Andromeda off the south coast on Sunday to tackle seven violent stowaways.

The Mirror can reveal refugees are ghosting on to boats on inland waterways – adding to the risk of terrorists travelling to Britain through people-smuggling routes.

A security source said of the Nave Andromeda raid: “Special forces have been practising for an event like this for many years but lately their training has increased as it is thought to be only a matter of time before there is a more serious taking of a ship, possibly by terrorists.

“The Nave And­­romeda mission was textbook and a huge success but the worry was there was a chance it could have been more sinister than an attempt by illegals.

“From the moment news broke that a ship may have hostile illegals on board it was always going to become an armed counter-terror mission, just in case.

“With limited information coming from the ship at the time the Home Office realised it had to end the stalemate and deploy the SBS to retake the ship.

“It ended well but if they had been armed or carrying explosives it would have been a very ­high-risk operation.”

The Nave Andromeda ­stow-­­­­­­ aways [sic] had apparently boarded in Lagos, Nigeria, where a group with links to Islamic State has grown in recent years….

    Sneaking in? Quite appropriate because there are many sneaky things about Islam, for instance the six condoned ways of deception—as examples, muruna and kitman.

      I remember reading a plan by MB out of Canada once which said they would Islamise all of us by 2025. Said by getting in Education systems, politics , using our tolerance against us, preaching in Mosques, teaching in Private Schools and migrants with pressures from groups like CAIR. Partly Because we allow so much speech that we should not. Supremacy of any kind cannot co-exist with Freedom. The nature of Supremacy is to kill off Freedom. Supremacy wants to destroy our Freedom which must be protected by keeping it OUT. Freedom needs Defense and not ‘come on in & just try to take over’ because Supremacy will. We see this but o nothing. We saw this in Germany too. Freedom cannot accept Supremacy.

    Muslims don’t just want to leave places torn apart by internal Muslim bloodletting they want a place where they can be Muslim in your face; strange strangers making demands, calling you racist, raping “improper” girls and boys, and remaining divided from your friendship. The greener pastures of Europe are less greener now and over time will merge into the “Greater Islamic Desert”, through demographics alone.

      Your prediction seems very likely to come true, unless Europeans come to their senses and find some balls, and expel every last Muslim from their countries. It was insane to allow Muslims to immigrate to the West. This suicidal mistake needs to be un-done, before it’s too late. The same is true for the U.S., Canada, and Australia. Every other “solution” merely postpones the eventual, and inevitable, Islamization of the civilized world via the Demographic Jihad.

    Strange they get bothered, those British elites.
    I always read they have loads of underprivileged British girl to offer for those Islam rape gangs.
    Maybe the supplies get exhausted, and those elites are afraid they are next?

    Like with the French. The middle classes (priests, teachers and policemen) are now the victim, but next on the plate of the hungry totalitarian theocratic Islam will be the elites.

    In fear, they say, a cat and an elite bureaucrat, can make strange jumps. Considering politicians and their elite colleagues are primates, lets se what those animals will do to survive themselves…

    The terrorists do not need to use “terror tankers”, which in any event would be difficult to access, as tankers have high sides. All that they need to do is keep crossing the English Channel in dozens of wee rubber boaties, (make sure that there is a pregnant woman on board!) escorted by the French Navy until they reach the mid-point of the Channel, where they will be escorted by the U.K. Border Forces to the coast, and the nearest Social Security office!

    Staggering, shattered, Dhimmi Britain has already hoisted the white flag of surrender!

      There are still some Brits, such as Anne Marie Waters and her For Britain party, who are very determined to turn back the Muslim invaders, and reclaim their country and their culture. We all should do what we can to support them. Britain is too important to lose to Islam. And a successful For Britain party could serve as a model for the patriots of other European countries.

        Whilst we have the totally unfair and undemocratic FTP voting system in place in the UK then there is no hope for a new party. Even more the tame left-wing msm would tear them apart.

    As the idiot british ‘authorities’ can’t manage to spot a 40 year old ‘lone child’, I have grave doubts in their ability to recognise a terrorist under any circumstances.
    Not even if he (or she) came to this land wearing a bomb belt, a machete, carrying a machine gun and with an ‘I love isis’ on his forehead.
    And of course, it would be ‘islamafauxbic’ to notice the tattoo…

    “disguised as asylum seekers”

    I wonder what that would actually look like? Does it involve wearing a costume? A hairstyle? A hat?

    Can I get an “asylum seeker” costume for Halloween?

    Watching the Islamic protests at French embassies its obvious that the Muslim world is unconsciously telling us: We support the terrorists and ISIS! If the majority of Muslims rejected the terrorists then why aren’t they on the streets? Innocents beheaded and stabbed yesterday, the guy shot today and the teacher showing what free speech is to a bunch of kids. They don’t even seem embarrassed or empathise with the Christian faith and the fatalities. I fear the hundreds a week on rubber dinghies sailing into Dover are the Jihadi Trojan Horse, here to decapitate the Western way of life. Our governments seem powerless. President Macron standing up to them has seen no mercy as a Fatwah has been put on his head. We need to stabilise Syria and send all the migrants back where they can live the way they want too? But that’s a pipe dream!

      Where Macron is very clever is his policy of sending as many as possible to the UK. Better there than in his country, for him of course!

        Completely agree.
        My attitude to the french would have been,
        ‘If your navy is going to continue helping these invaders into out waters, then our Navy is going to blow ALL your boats out of the water.
        No argument, no warning. You WILL learn not to fk with us.’

    The only reason you have to “sneak” Jihadis into our country is to prevent UK cops/”border forces” literally humping their legs like a horny dog, and to stop members of the brainwashed British public swamping them with autograph requests.

    Not cause they are in any way going to be “stopped” on legal, moral or national security grounds. That is a very outdated idea indeed.
