Yeah, come on, people. What could possibly go wrong? Sure, they might commit a jihad massacre here or there, but what’s a few deaths compared to the horror of being Islamophobic?
“US Blinken presses allies to repatriate Islamic State fighters,” France24, June 28, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday pressed US allies to bring back citizens arrested overseas for joining the Islamic State group, warning they could not be held indefinitely in Syria. Blinken made the appeal in Rome at a meeting of an 83-member coalition on defeating the extremist network, where he and the Italian hosts called for greater attention to the jihadist threat in Africa….

So … they should repatriate people who voluntarily burned their passports and repudiated their citizenship?
There really is a repercussion when you abandon and reject your citizenship, while declaring that your original country is now the enemy that you will fight. That’s actually the definition of treason.
Someone who voluntarily seeks citizenship and then rejects the same citizenship should NOT be repatriated after REJECTING his citizenship.

The innocent Wynken, Blynken, and Nod
– by Eugene Fields
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe,—
Sailed on a river of crystal light
Into a sea of dew.
“Where are you going, and what do you wish?”
The old moon asked the three.
“We have come to fish for the herring-fish
That live in this beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we,”
Said Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
The old moon laughed and sang a song,
As they rocked in the wooden shoe;
And the wind that sped them all night long
Ruffled the waves of dew;
The little stars were the herring-fish
That lived in the beautiful sea.
“Now cast your nets wherever you wish,—
Never afraid are we!”
So cried the stars to the fishermen three,
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
All night long their nets they threw
To the stars in the twinkling foam,—
Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe,
Bringing the fishermen home:
‘Twas all so pretty a sail, it seemed
As if it could not be;
And some folk thought ’twas a dream they’d dreamed
Of sailing that beautiful sea;
But I shall name you the fishermen three:
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes,
And Nod is a little head,
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is a wee one’s trundle-bed;
So shut your eyes while Mother sings
Of wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things
As you rock in the misty sea
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three:—
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.

Blinken is a naïve POLLYANNA in the matter of JIHADISM.

Seconded.

Thank you for reminding me. That’s why I can’t read his name without laughing

Is it not against the Law to incite others to suicide? Some have been arrested and tried for doing that when the one they are inciting has followed through and died.
This creep…should give up his citizenship and go live with what is left of isis in Syria and see just what kind of people he wants to be allowed back in to whatever country they left…in order to gain strength and over-run the entire earth for islam.
To over-run the earth for islam was the goal of the terrorists of isis. It is the goal of er slime a wan of turkey; the goal of the khan-liar of pakistan, and of all who strongly adhere to islam.
blinken should do some thinkin and then, just buy a plane ticket to turkey where he can be taken into syria for some training in just what islam and terror are all about. When he has learned all that it has to teach him…he may not be alive to return…he can maybe go back to Rome and do some more talking. At least, even if he said the same, it would be from a more rounded base of knowledge.
Wellington says
OK, I would just like to comment on a very specific matter about Antony Blinken and which addresses a much larger matter by doing so. Here it is: Blinken is rooted in the Ivy League, like Obama he got his undergraduate degree from Harvard and his law degree from Columbia.
For those, especially non-Americans, who are a little fuzzy on what constitutes the Ivy League schools respecting higher education in the USA since colonial times, there are only eight of them—Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Dartmouth, Columbia, Cornell and Penn (NEVER to be confused with Penn State, but I digress).
The damn trouble in all of this, to cut to the quick, is academic incest as well as access to corridors of power denied others. For instance, right now 8 of the 9 Supreme Court Justices of the USA are Ivy League law graduates (Amy Coney Barret, about whom I am already developing doubts, is a graduate of Notre Dame Law School, and she replaced Ruth Bader Ginsburg who was also an Ivy League graduate, and thus just a year ago or so ALL 9 Supreme Court Justices were Ivy League Law graduates). Go on down the line with Americans in positions of power in the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches, never mind that monstrosity which is the civil bureaucracy or what exists in the business world, and you will find a HUGE amount of graduates from one or another or these eight Ivy League schools, including the present and pathetic Charmain of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, who is suffused with an enormous amount of politically correct thinking.
This is wrong. It’s not a positive. Yes, some Ivy League graduates (e.g., Clarence Thomas from Yale Law School as well as Donald Trump himself, Tom Cotton and Ron DeSantis) are sterling human beings with high intelligence, a true regard for liberty, and replete with common sense and moral intelligence. But you could find just as many sterling human beings per capita from all kinds of state universities and small colleges. In brief, the eight Ivy League schools have a way too much representation at the federal and state levels—like Antony Blinken. Worst of all, the Ivy League tends to produce Leftists more and more with each passing decade and the sum of all this, if I am correct, is that the Ivy League is not only vastly overrated, it has been a net negative over the past half century or so in American life.
There, I’m done with my assessment, call it an excoriation if you like. But I have become highly suspicious of the Ivy League and this suspicion of mine has waxed, not waned, as the years have gone on.
In the interest of full disclosure, I wish to relate that I am not an Ivy League graduate—only public universities for me. Yes, one should take into account the possibility that I am at some level of consciousness jealous of the many prerogatives accorded Ivy League graduates (which is a ton of advantages), but then again one should also take into account that I am better off not being an Ivy League graduate, no jealousy involved, and “merely” on my part trying to convey the truth of matters as best that they can be discerned. I vote for the latter, highly tendentious as this is, but just because one is tendentious doesn’t mean they’re wrong.
Done. Enough.

Wellington,
Your points are well taken.
My own niece, valedictorian of her high school class, got her undergraduate degree and Masters degree from two Ivy League schools.
She is now employed in a job that could be done by a “sharp” high school grad.
Also…
I’ve mentored dozens of medical residents who had graduated from a variety of medical schools across the country.
With few exceptions, the Ivy League grads were the most arrogant – and the most lacking in common sense skills.
They also felt that they knew more than I did…

All too common.

Yes, The Ilamic Jihdiss should be released, but to muslem countries, not to the one they turned their backs on.

…………
I just wish I could be shocked by this stupidity.
Infidel says
Why don’t they round them up and drop them directly in Blinken’s home in DC? He can then go ahead and enjoy their company, instead of imposing them on ‘their home countries’
Rob says
No. Like the Pope. Exhorts everyone to tear down walls as a matter of human decency, yet lives in his own walled city with a troop of personal bodyguards.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Blinken is a cuck. It was embarrassing to watch him cower in front of the murderous Chinese communists as they dared to lecture us on the supposed mistreatment of our citizens. As to the issue of the outdated Ivy League university model, remember, where you go is not who you are or where you’ll be.

This is akin to eating your own ****

OLD GUY says
Will Blinken be moving these islamic jihadist in as his neighbors, or is he only interested in putting them in other peoples neighborhoods. It truly seems that those who break societies laws are treated more fairly and protected better than the law abiding citizens. Defund the police and don’t enforce the law or penalize the criminals, Why? How about we do away with Umpires and referees at sporting events, think of the money we could save. If we don’t need police to enforce societies rules, we surly don’t need Umpires/referees to enforce rules of sports.
