* I want to expand my horizons and read some Bush and Rubio and Kasich supporters praising their candidates but I’m at a loss as to what publications have comment sections dominated by fans of these guys. Every site I find with comments sections seems to be filled with people ripping the establishment guys. Where are the redoubts for the Bush fans?
* To hell with Israel. But not in a bad way. I’m just tired of them being the only white country allowed to get away with what every other white country should be allowed to get away with, and what every non-white country is allowed to get away with.
* The Golan is an official part of Israel and has been since 1981. International recognition is irrelevant.
Another illustration of the problems which stem from dumping the old American policy of recognizing the de facto government and de facto borders in all cases in peacetime, since they are the ones who are actually governing and the borders that actually matter.
American maps in 1941 recognized Europe the way it actually was – we didn’t pretend Poland and Austria still existed, Slovakia was not independent, that North Transylvania was still part of Romania, or that France had not signed a treaty giving Germany Alsace-Lorraine again.
That is the refreshing thing about being neutral. You don’t have to take sides and can just work with the facts on the ground while expressing sympathy all around to everyone’s point of view.
* I couldn’t figure out why other Arab countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, etc.) weren’t taking in refugees, so I started digging. Hijrah is jihad by emigration. It means moving to a new land in order to bring Islam there and is considered in Islam to be a holy and revered action.
“And whoever emigrates for the cause of Allah will find on the earth many locations and abundance, and whoever leaves his home as an emigrant to Allah and His Messenger and then death overtakes him, his reward has already become incumbent upon Allah.” (4:100)
So if a Muslim dies in the process, that’s essentially the same as being a suicide bomber, his reward is automatic.
This explains the great eagerness to undertake such a perilous journey. Muhammad and his followers emigrated from Mecca to Yathrib/Medina in 622 CE. It was there that he became a military leader. This is where all the commands to commit violence against unbelievers originate from. It’s important to note that the Islamic calendar marks this as the beginning of Islam.
This current massive hijrah was announced last January although few paid the announcement much attention. A supporter (or member) of ISIS uploaded a document in Arabic that urged Muslims to get to Libya for its proximity to southern Europe and for the important tactical value of its illegal immigration circuits to facilitate infiltration Europe In February, transcripts of telephone intercepts published in Italy said ISIS was threatening to send 500,000 migrants as a “psychological weapon” against Europe.
The Italian Minister for the Interior, Angelino Alfano, said at the time, “If the militias of the Caliphate advance faster than the decisions of the international community how can we put out the fire in Libya and stem the migration flows? We are at risk of an exodus without precedent.”
Also in February, the Turkish intelligence service warned police that up to 3,000 trained jihadists were seeking to cross into Turkey from Syria and Iraq and then travel through Bulgaria and Hungary into western Europe. From Syria, to Hungary, then into the rest of Europe.
Sound familiar? In May, a Libyan government adviser warned that Islamic State operatives were being “smuggled to Europe in migrant boats.” ISIS is profiting from the human trafficking trade, forcing boat owners to hand over their profits or be killed. Some ISIS operatives are already sheltered in safe houses in the south of the Europe. Groups of men, 17 to 25, from Palestine and Syria, cross into Bulgaria and from there move into the rest of the EU. A former Al Qaeda double agent told the BBC that he knew of two Egyptian brothers who reached Italy from Libya, accompanied by men who were “deeply religious and fluent in Italian and French.”
Go watch the videos of those “refugees” again. How many of the “refugees” are 17-25 year old men? If that doesn’t convince you, we already know terrorists are coming through with the waves of refugees: a week ago five men were arrested attempting to cross the Bulgarian border all carrying videos of beheadings and other IS material
