African boat people: an ignored story

So far in 2006 about five thousand boat people (all figures are guesses except for the number caught by police) of West African origin, mostly Malians and Senegalese, have left the Mauritanian coast near Nouadibuh for the western Canary Islands, an integral part of Spain and of the EU. Illegal immigrants used to try to cross the Mediterranean from Morocco to Spain, or to make the short passage from the southwestern Morocco coast to the eastern Canary Islands. However, there are now so many patrols that such voyages are rarely attempted. Instead, they sail out into the open sea and then hope to catch the current up to the western Canaries, a journey of more than 1000 nautical miles, in primitive wooden Mauritanian open fishing boats. Spanish authorities have caught over 3000 of them, and are now in the process of deporting them back to Africa. Maybe 1000 made the Canaries without getting caught, and took commercial flights from there to the European mainland. At least 1000, and possibly as many as 2000, have died at sea from drowning or exposure or thirst, according to official estimates.
So many illegals - almost all from Muslim majority countries - are trying to get to Europe that they have formed mini-cities of inhabitants waiting for the first opportunity. Muslims hate the West, but they want to live here. I guess their Koran says hate at close range is better.
This is a first-class humanitarian tragedy, and the international media is nowhere on it.
Give them time and they will point the finger at White racism, for what is the result of Islam's backward way-of-life prescriptions.


And it's only going to get worse, as there are 10-15,000 people, almost all young men, waiting near Nouadibuh for their turn. A lot of these people are going to die...
It is a tragedy, but many of these people would end up in jihad-gangs that cause the social upheaval that we saw last Fall in Muslim occupied France.

#3  LTD: Muslims hate the West, but they want to live here.

There's no irony here. Genghis Khan liked the loot he got from the civilizations he looted. Doesn't mean he thought of them as more than prey.
