My latest at PJ Media:
Hamed Ahmadi is a Fulbright semi-finalist who describes himself as a “Blogger & Writer at iPSO Afghanistan.” IPSO is the International Psychosocial Organization, a “German-based humanitarian organisation with a branch in Afghanistan. It is an international non-governmental, non-profit and non-political organisation, which delivers psychosocial counselling services according to best practices to the people in need.” Ahmadi may need their services himself, as he is now a refugee at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, and is in distress: the food they’re giving him isn’t up to his standards.
On Thursday, Ahmadi tweeted out a photo of a Styrofoam container holding a bit of cantaloupe and watermelon, plus a few bare-looking pieces of chicken. He wrote: “Not complaining but this is what I got last night for dinner and the next meal is 12 hours later. Refugee life might be safe but never easy & favorable. Fort bliss El Paso Texas. #AfghanRefugees #afghanistan”
Ahmadi’s whiny display of entitlement and ingratitude kicked up a firestorm. Behavioral scientist Gad Saad, author of The Parasitic Mind, responded: “How about ‘thank you’? Be grateful. Have some humility and exhibit some dignity. No one owes you anything. I’m a refugee from Lebanon and I’m forever grateful.” Author and comedian Tim Young pointed out that two pieces of bread could be seen in the lower left of Ahmadi’s photo, and wrote: “I’d be happy to pay for your ticket to go back… since it’s so rough here that you have to take your sandwich apart and put the bread out of the shot.” Another Twitter user noted: “Apparently the food sucks, but the wifi is good and the phone chargers work…”
Stung by the criticism, Ahmadi was given ample space in the UK’s far-Left Independent to explain himself. “The point of that tweet was not … to be complaining, to be very critical,” he claimed. “I was just describing a situation of Afghan refugees that are in the situation that they never really wanted to be in. I had a pretty good job back in Kabul. I had a decent life. I had my family. I was forced to flee Afghanistan … if I had more space [on Twitter], I would have added more explanation — because I wanted to say that this is the refugee life. And we need to be patient.”
Ahmadi’s clarification didn’t actually explain why he felt no need to be grateful to those who saved him from almost certainly being killed, or at the very least from a perilous end to his contented professional life in Kabul (the Independent noted that “Mr Ahmadi’s own social media presence as a blogger working with foreign NGOs, however, left him in peril as the Taliban retook control of his country”). Ahmadi said nothing about the kindness of those who were providing him with free, taxpayer-funded food and lodging. In case any Independent reader was independent enough to notice all this, the Independent informed its readers of the outcome it was trying to bring about: “Further details about Mr Ahmadi’s own story would very likely silence any detractors or trolls claiming that Afghan refugees are only after a better life.”
There is more. Read the rest here.
Walter Sieruk says
Apparently those Muslim refugees from Afghanistan have never heard the saying that “Beggars can’t choosers.”
They should be glad for what they have. How ungrateful they are.
bill says
Some chicken and fruit is enough nourishment for person sitting around all day and doing nothing all day. Not to mention the free air transport. In due course he will no doubt get free accommodation and allowances until he finds a job. The immignrants to USA in the 19th and early 20th centuries got none of that, they had to fend for themselves. Of course then there was no SM on which to complain
Mike says
I was the pictures this guy posted of the meal
2 cubes of cantaloupe and 2 of water melon about 1 inch square
2 chicken strips maybe 3 ounces at best
I get the complaining and lack of gratitude but lets make sure we have the story correct first
gravenimage says
The correct story is that a Musim migrant is complaining that the ‘filthy Infidels’ who took him in are not forking out more in free benefits. Not sure what else you are looking for.
Maemae77 says
Mike is lying. I saw the plates and the food was much bigger and they also had bread. The muslim was lying about yhe amount of food they got to gain false sympathy.
Yogi says
They are lying of everything, they didn’t arrive yet and they already complain!! Most of them are illegal anyway witch they can be a potential terrorist!!, what a hell it’s going on !! This people don’t see they just came for money and turn your churches to the mosque!!!?? I quarantine you they never ever goona have dirty hands from work, ever , Germany it’s the country where they want to go because Germany give them everything for free even this young teenage girls.. for bonus, shame on you Germany, you are destroying not only your own country but whole Europe, it’s beyond disgusting..
gravenimage says
Yes, Maemae–the bread itself is in the picture–he had just shoved it onto the lid.
Maemae77 says
There was bread also. The muslim was lying by omission and the food was bigger than you described. I saw the pictures too, don’t lie.
Giacomo Latta says
The story is that someone got a free ride from Kabul to El Paso that saved his sorry ass from an almost sure violent death and he is now expecting the freebies to continue.
Derek says
This is just the beginning. Wait a little more and he would next complain that he has been put up with infidels and wants to drive planes into buildings

Afghan Evacuee Complains About the Quality of Meals He is Getting for Free at Fort Bliss
……………
Other Muslims complaining about food, accommodations, spending money etc have not just complained but violently rioted and assaulted and murdered aid workers, and in at least one case burned down their care home. No gratitude here…
gravenimage says
Here is some of the supposed “hate” this whining Muslim has met with:
“Afghan Refugee’s Photo of Food Served at US Camp Met With Vicious Online Hate”
https://www.news18.com/news/buzz/afghan-refugees-photo-of-food-served-at-us-camp-met-with-vicious-online-hate-4170653.html
“How about “thank you”? Be grateful. Have some humility and exhibit some dignity. No one owes you anything. I’m a refugee from Lebanon and I’m forever grateful.”
and
“I was unable to reach a homeless veteran to ask how they like their free meals and free housing because they don’t get those things. Also they don’t have iPhones.”
This doesn’t sound all that hateful to me–it actually sounds very reasonable.
Andra says
Demanding a Muslim refugee to be grateful or comparing him to people who would have deserved benefits and don´t get them, is hatespeech in left worldviews.
You must not demand anything from Muslims but only obey their demands and you never ever may compare them with kuffars.
gravenimage says
Yep.
Fitna says
Well I don’t know the whole story but I will assume that by default Muslims are ingrates and they think we ‘infidels’ owe them everything since that’s usually the case.
However if they are not allowed to leave the base, if they are not allowed to purchase their own food, then they are entirely dependent on the base for their survival.
In the case where refugees forced themselves onto a US plane without their permission, we owe them nothing but a return flight to where they came from.
For the Afghani allies that the US promised to rescue/help then I’m afraid we do owe them 3 square meals a day….at the very least they should be allowed to buy food and if they have no money, they’ll need to be helped financially until they’re on their own two feet.
I personally don’t want one single Muslim in western countries at all, except for those who are victims like women and child brides and those who want to leave Islam, the rest can burn for all I care.
James Lincoln says
Fitna says,
“I personally don’t want one single Muslim in western countries at all, except for those who are victims like women and child brides and those who want to leave Islam…”
Yes, the key is that they have to become legitimate apostates.
born saturday says
the ungratituous and demanding attitude is cultivated persistently amongst the muslims who enter the west exaclty because they want everyone of that mob to think this way in order to promote many types of jihad imposed on the unbelievers. imagine this tweet surged amongst the connected muslims of each country they post these on and the climate is being prepared for never ending jihad of some sort each….
the immigrants have been found to massively throw the food in the rubbish upon rumours it is poisoned, and throw it even on the floor as they collect it because its not halal or humous… it is an initiation to the jihad they are all about to perform upon the infidels…it is a move that describes their rest of their stay in those countries and the hatred which they feed on the infidels.
the inexplicatory behaviour of muslims in the west comes to an explanation if you live in their ghettos and realise what all these people are here for in real… these moves and says that make no sense sometimes make perfect sense to some of us who have experienced how they live… they form ghettos whithin which everything is tax free and they evade paying taxes whatsoever for their work as well… this way they continue to work and get the income supports of the governments and they create their own markets which are mainly tax free and therefore cheaper… they are insatiable in general and they takeover the black markets for drugs and other at the same time… many of them make as much or more than the average citizen in these countries and they post all this money back to their countries spending as little as they can within the country they get it from…. everything they do is another form of jihad…
ofcourse the jisia, which they consider the money they get, is just a start on the imposition of sharia… the story does not end there… first its the jisia then its black job along then its selling drugs and creating whole gangs, then its your wife then its your children and finally the subjugation of all infidels… all starting with the inexplicable for some, tossing infidel food in the garbage which spreads as propaganda against the infidels…
gravenimage says
All grimly true, Born Saturday.
Maemae77 says
Well, muslims consider themselves superior over the rest of the non-islamic world. That’s what they’re told their entire lives. With that supremacist mindset, they will complain until we’re at full dhimmihood. Then, they will kill ys off slowly until there are no dhimmis left and move in to the next countries until the entire earth is conquered. Deceptive Shaming is one of their favorite charades.
abu taleb says
Dirty infidels should be grateful when they are allowed to live in this world. So, presenting money and luxurious food together with a mansion and occasionally some women (and boys) for muslims to have fun is nothing compared to what the dirty infidels deserve. When muslims have conquered the world (insha allah), muslims will certainly remember the infidel’s obedience and treat the indels kindly by only enslaving them (infidels’ wish).
gravenimage says
Yes–this is how pious Muslims see things.
Randy Rogers says
Maybe we should give him a pallet of $100 bills.
Keys says
?
That might be enough for a few weeks until he makes another complaint or demand.
gravenimage says
Very funny, Randy.
VICTOR COWEN says
Who cares? Put him to work in some really unpleasant place and even he and people like him will get the message. He cost thousands of lives and trillions of dollars so as to hear him complaining. Nice !!!
mortimer says
He didn’t fight for his country. He did nothing to defend it, so it’s someone else’s fault. This is the Muslim attitude.
The trouble with the mindset of the Afghans is that they didn’t hate the Taliban. The Taliban savages are the enemies of a good life for Afghans. The Talibans will bring poverty, ignorance, disease, stagnation and backwardness as before.
Even worse, because the Afghans didn’t resist the Talibans, the Talibans are now well armed.
gravenimage says
Of course, the West does not “put [peope] to work” as VICTOR COWEN pretends. Then, any situation where this Muslim and others like him remain in the West puts us all in danger.
mortimer says
Ingrate. At least he’s alive. What does he expect? A five-star hotel? Many unlucky Afghans are being tortured and killed without trial by the 7th-century savages. What did he do to stop the Taliban takeover, besides nothing?
Gad Saad is correct: ““How about ‘thank you’? Be grateful. Have some humility and exhibit some dignity. No one owes you anything.”
Eva says
He should be grateful. If it were up to me, I wouldn’t have given him a damn thing.
Including a flight to the west, where he’ll be able to spew his poisonous ingratitude in safety, get accommodation and allowances he never paid a penny toward, and countless white girls to abuse.
I wouldn’t have brought any of them over. Importing the enemy is stupid beyond belief.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Looking a gift horse in the mouth much?
There are people dying in the deserts of Mexico trying to get to this land of White Supremacy. BTW- Why didn’t he stay in Afghanistan and fight for his country’s freedom? Muslims can be such phonies.
Billy Chickens says
Didn’t anyone think that he ate half the food – or more – THEN took the picture?
gravenimage says
Quite possible, Billy.

In any case, tell him tomorrow we are serving knuckle sandwiches, as many as he wants.

OLD GUY says
Grateful is not part of Islam. Infidels are supposed to provide everything from food, housing, entertainment and sex toys for islamic men. You noticed I left out islamic women they get the leftovers, as they should under islam.
Rueben Singh says
It will be interesting to see how these moslem refugees progress in say 40-50 years, comparred to the Indian refugees from Idi amin’s Uganda.

I fear what the US and the rest of the west will look like in forty or fifty years.
tim gallagher says
I like the title of the book by Gad Saad, as mentioned in the report up above, “The Parasitic Mind”. Sounds like the perfect description for the invading hordes of Muslim scum. Nothing but parasites. Keep all of them out. They will mostly be nothing but trouble and nothing but a complete negative for any non-Muslim country that is foolish enough to let them in.
gravenimage says
From what I have seen, Gad Saad is *very* savvy about Islam. He recently Tweeted this:
“Islam is the religion of peace. And as we are often reminded, anyone who says otherwise should be killed for peace. No fitna allowed!”
https://twitter.com/gadsaad/status/1320457670369882114?lang=en
Note the reply from Imran Khan, characterizing daring to say that Islam is violent as “Islamophobia”.
tim gallagher says
I was certainly struck by the title of his book, gravenimage. Definitely sums up most Muslims that we let into our countries. Parasites, hating the non-Muslims in the countries that let them in, and being parasites, who contribute nothing positive to the society and seeking to eventually take over for Islam. And, as in this report, always whining about how they are not being treated well enough. As for Imran Khan, what a piece of crap he is. I haven’t heard about Islamophobia killing endless people in terrorist attacks, which Muslims are continually doing. Khan’s comment is complete and moronic bullshit, but that is all you would ever get from him. When people like Khan are criticising you, you know you are on the right track.

Infidel says
Like Tim Young said, he should be put on the next flight back to Kabul. In fact, did the Independent ask him that if he had such a good job in Kabul, why did he think it necessary to leave?
