Widows-And-Orphans Flock To ISIS

Despite its Muslim radicalization problem, America to enlarge its pool of ISIS recruits:

A new report by Congress says more than 250 Americans have attempted to join ISIS, and one in four of them is from Minnesota, many of them former refugees. [Emphasis added]

Letting more in sounds like stupid stuff.

UPDATE (November 29, 2015): The Taipei Times ran an opinion piece falsely equating opposition to Western settlement of Syrian refugees with the wartime internment of Japanese-Americans.

What the writer of the piece fails to understand is that during war, one does not invite foreign nationals from hostile countries to settle in one's territory because of the obvious security threat. What is less obvious is that Japanese-Americans — not foreign nationals, but American citizens — required internment. (Particularly since German-Americans and Italian-Americans were not subject to the same requirement.)

I contend that citizens of Western nations have a right to have a say in their countrys' immigration policies, and are well within their rights to reject immigration of refugees who are anti-Semitic, anti-Christian and anti-atheist.

Finally, it should also be noted that Taiwan has not offered to settle Syrian refugees in its territory, and that some of Taiwan's politicians resist immigration from Communist China on similar grounds (namely, due to national security concerns as well as the pro-unification attitudes presumably held by such immigrants).

How Many Terrorists Can Be Expected Among Syrian Refugees?

There's been a certain amount of hyperbole on this blog of late regarding refugees from Syria. This has been somewhat unavoidable, given the fact that virtually every day over the past week some monstrous new outrage has been perpetrated by Muslim radicals somewhere across the globe.

So it must be said that, of course, not every Muslim is a terrorist. But it must also be admitted that Western nations will not merely be accepting "widows and orphans." It is therefore inevitable that there will be some finite number of terrorists mingled within the cohort of refugees that are granted asylum. So the question is: How can we estimate this number?

Fortunately, this poll from the Doha Institute can give us a general idea. The following chart illustrates the number of Syrian refugees who have a favorable view of the Islamofascist group known as ISIS:

As can be seen, 13% of Syrian refugees have a favorable or partly favorable view of ISIS. If America accepts 10,000 Syrian refugees, 1,300 of them will view the terrorist group favorably to some extent. I contend that, at the very least, such views will not be conducive to good citizenship among these thirteen hundred people.

(Obviously, the situation faced by Germany is far worse, which can expect 104,000 of 800,000 Syrian refugees to have somewhat favorable views of ISIS.)

However, only 4% of Syrian refugees view ISIS with full approval, so America can expect to receive only 400 hardcore ISIS supporters. (While Germany faces the nightmarish prospect of receiving 32,000 ISIS partisans concentrated within a far smaller geographical area — a veritable small invasion force, should it ever be so motivated.)

But most likely, support for ISIS will not translate into action for the vast majority of even hardcore supporters, so only a small fraction of America's 400 (or Germany's 32,000) can be expected to turn to terrorism.

I'm tempted to put that fraction at 1%, but that would simply be a wild guess.

POSTSCRIPT: The above analysis makes a number of assumptions:

1) There are no ISIS infiltrators mingled in with genuine refugees. I believe there will most certainly be a few, but I have no basis whatsoever for estimating their number.

2) The refugees have zero support for other terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda or al-Nusra. It is clearly nonsensical to suppose so, but the poll did not ask refugees whether they supported other terrorist groups, and more importantly, the refugees were not asked about their support for ALL terrorist groups in general.

Given that al-Qaeda & al-Nusra is said to be more popular that ISIS among Syrian refugees, I think it reasonable to add 25% to the final numbers (425 hardcore terrorist supporters in the U.S., and 40,000 in Germany).

(If I was hyping the numbers I suppose I could double them, but it must be remembered that a large number of ISIS supporters will most likely view al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups favorably as well. Due to the considerable overlap, the stated additional 25% seems more reasonable.)

3) Governments are completely ineffective in screening against ISIS supporters. An indeterminate number will no doubt be weeded out, should members of the bureaucracy be inclined to do so.

However, I'm left with a disquieting thought: In some PC quarters, firebrands and holders of extreme views are thought to represent a more "authentic" (and therefore, more desirable) type of Islam. And so I ask: Is it possible that portions of the bureaucracy might in fact positively select IN FAVOR of individuals predisposed to conducting terrorist acts against their newly adopted countries?

UPDATE (November 21, 2015): Greek security forces insist discerning terrorists from legitimate refugees is almost impossible.

House Of Representatives Votes Overwhelmingly To Suspend Obama’s Syrian Resettlement Plan

Including 57 Democrats. Interesting.

But my working assumption is still that Obama will get his way, regardless of public opposition.

Barack Obama with extended middle finger: 'Those 57 Democrats are UN-AMERICAN. If only we had a COMMITTEE to investigate their activities...'

In America, First You Kill The Kuffar, Then You Find The Slave Market, Then You Buy The Women

Don't blame him for the crimes of his evil twin.

POSTSCRIPT: I know nothing about the provenance of these photos, and some skepticism is in order. But even assuming the worst (ie: that they're faked or exaggerated), the larger point that terrorists wish to gain entry into America still nonetheless holds true.

These Aren’t The Widows And Orphans You’re Looking For

From ABC News:

Several dozen suspected terrorist bombmakers, including some believed to have targeted American troops, may have mistakenly been allowed to move to the United States as war refugees, according to FBI agents investigating the remnants of roadside bombs recovered from Iraq and Afghanistan. [emphasis added]

Whoopsie-daisy.

Only 28% Of U.S. Population Agrees With America’s Messiah

The rest of you have angered Him greatly. Report immediately to local indoctrination camps for mandatory sensitivity training and frontal lobotomies:

Fifty-three percent of U.S. adults in the survey, conducted in the days immediately following the attacks [by Muslim death squads in Paris], say the nation should not continue a program to resettle up to 10,000 Syrian refugees. Just 28 percent would keep the program with the screening process as it now exists, while 11 percent said they would favor a limited program to accept only Syrian Christians while excluding Muslims…

Summing up American views of Obama's Syrian refugee relocation plan:

  • 53% — want Obama's plan killed outright
  • 11% — want only Syrian Christians to be eligible
  • 8% — no opinion
  • 28% — want Obama's plan implemented

Increasingly isolated (even within his own party) and with only 28% popular support for his terrorist importation scheme, little wonder Barack Obama's rhetoric has become so strident of late.

Barack Obama extending middle finger: 'Given that only 28% of Americans agree with me, I can only conclude that the other 72% are UN-AMERICAN.'

Poor Syrian War Widow Pleads For Refugee Status In U.S.

Photo of terrorist Hayat Boumeddiene. She's a fairly pretty brunette (without makeup) and has dead, terrorist eyes.

"Children of pigs and apes! I'm just a harmless widow, with nowhere else to turn. I solemnly promise not to slaughter you the way my late, beloved husband did during the heroic Charlie Hebdo attacks. By Mohammed's beard, I swear it!"
