No one could have predicted that left-leaning German Chancellor
Angela Merkel would call for banning hijabs.
The open borders policy European countries have taken toward refugees fleeing
the Middle East due to ISIS has resulted in violence increasing in those
countries, with ISIS infiltrating the refugees. Facing a tough reelection next
year as a result of allowing over a million refugees into the country, Merkel
finally reversed her position. In November, she called on
the EU to start turning back boats full of refugees as they cross the
Mediterranean.
The terrorist attacks by refugees are continuing. On December 19,
a radical Islamist refugee drove a truck into a market in Berlin, killing 12
people and injuring 48 others. The refugees are raping women and destroying
property. In Italy, for example, “for the first time, the crime rate in the
north of Italy, which has the highest concentration of immigrants and asylum
seekers, is surpassing that of the south,” Breitbart reported.
A study in Italy found that where the immigrant population increases by 1
percent, the crime rate goes up 0.4 percent. Italian businesses have lost
billions of dollars due to refugee related problems such as counterfeiting,
shoplifting and illegal vendors.
Many of the refugees don’t have jobs, putting a strain on
government budgets. Only 34,000 of the 1.2 million refugees in Germany have
found jobs. Shariah law is gradually being implemented in some of the
countries, as officials accommodate their intolerant religious views.
The European Union set up a quota system requiring member
countries to accept a certain number of refugees. The refugees mostly arrive by
boat in Turkey, Greece or Italy, and then disperse throughout Europe. They are
not screened; there is no way to determine their true nationality or names. The
number of refugees is likely to increase, as the atrocities in Aleppo, Syria,
continue escalating.
News of the free welfare from Europe’s socialist and borderline
socialist countries has spread to Africa, and so migrants from that continent –
not even refugees fleeing persecution – are now flooding the
shores of Italy even more than Greece. The Balkans closed its borders in March,
but smugglers are still getting the refugees to western Europe.
Professor Anna Bono of the University of Turin, an expert in
African migration, revealed,
“In the countries of sub-Saharan Africa there are advertisements inciting
people to go to Italy, explaining that everything here is free.” Half of the
prostitutes in Italy are Nigerian.
Obama is following suit, allowing thousands of refugees into the
U.S. Each one costs taxpayers
$64,370 for their first five years here; 91 percent receive food stamps and 68
percent receive cash assistance. Of the total 85,000 refugees admitted into the
U.S. last year, a record 38,901
were Muslims, a higher number than Christians admitted. There were 12,587
refugees from Syria alone, 99 percent who were Muslims.
In contrast, a country very similar to us, Australia, announced in
October that it would not be accepting any refugees, with few exceptions. Prime
Minister Malcolm Turnbull, no conservative, had reportedly been turning away
refugee boats that arrived on the country’s shores previous to the
announcement. Instead, he has agreed to
take refugees from Central America who are not Muslim.
Several central European countries have objected to the
resettlements, filing lawsuits against the U.N. The Schengen Agreement
abolished border checks between European countries, which some countries are
defying by erecting border fences. Opposition to the open borders policy is high,
with 94 percent of Greeks disapproving.
Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico said earlier
this year that Slovakia would accept a small number of Christian refugees but
not Muslims “who would like to start building mosques all over our land and
trying to change the nature, culture and values of the state.” Czech President
Miloš Zeman, who is a social democrat (and former communist), no right winger,
has been the most scathing leader.
He denounced the prime minister’s plan to allow a mere 80 refugees from Syria
into the country, saying it would result in “barbaric attacks.” He said even
moderate Muslims could be radicalized to commit terrorist acts similar to how
regular Germans went along with the Nazi regime. He sweepingly condemned Islam,
“The attitude of Islam – I do not speak about jihadists, I speak about Islam –
towards women, half of the population. As you know, in the Qur’an, women is
something like the inferior part of mankind.” However, Zeman’s position is
mostly ceremonial.
The refugee crisis has sparked the
rise of populist movements across Europe. Right wing Marine Le Pen has a shot
at a presidential bid in France, as does Geert Wilders in the Netherlands. In a
moment of irony, the open borders organization Doctors Without Borders announced in
March that it would no longer assist refugees at a center on the Greek island
of Lesbos, due to the inability of the government to properly accommodate them
all.
France 24 reported that at least 3,800 migrants died in
the Mediterranean Sea between January and October attempting to reach Europe,
making it the deadliest year in the Mediterranean. A realistic solution would
have been to create a temporary place for the refugees near their home
countries, such as in Jordan. These people love their countries and their
culture. Where were leaders with the guts to implement this?
Will this massive migration from poorer countries lead to the
destruction of Western civilization as laid out in the 1973 dystopian novel The
Camp of the Saints? In the book, all countries are forced to open their
borders, resulting in rape and ruin. The title is a reference to Revelation
20:9, “They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of
God's people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured
them.” There is no divine intervention in the book. While the allusion to
Western civilization as God’s people came under fire as racist, journalist
Lionel Shriver admitted the book was “prescient.” Another reviewer wrote that
Raspail “was neither a prophet nor a visionary novelist, but simply a
relentless historian of our future.”
The
left-leaning European leaders who authorized the flood of refugees in the
interests of forced “diversity” are now experiencing the consequences.
Compelling two cultures to merge, where one’s holy book instructs its believers
to destroy nonbelievers, will ultimately destroy Western civilization.
