ISIS Smuggling Fighters Into Europe Posing As Refugees
[Breitbart Londonistan] The Islamic State (IS) are smuggling fighters into the EU posing as refugees according to a Libyan government adviser. Abdul Basit Haroun told the BBC that the terrorist state was able to bypass European Police and knew which of "their people" they needed to gain access to the EU.

Thousands of North Africans have fled the fighting in their home countries to come to Europe. Most have entered the continent using people traffickers. They have received the de-facto assistance of European naval forced by picking up people from sinking smuggler boats and bringing those on board to Europe.

Mr Haroun claimed they included IS fighters, and the system was being used in a calculated way to bring forces across the Mediterranean sea. He said IS was using the boats: "for their people who they want to send to Europe, as the European police don't know who is from IS and who is a normal refugee or not".

It has long been a stated aim of IS to land troops in Europe via refugee boats, but so far the EU has denied the existence of the problem. The issue was raised last month by Nigel Farage, according to the Daily Mail the UKIP leader expressed fears that up to 500k Islamists could enter Europe via this route.

At the time one of his aides said: "If there is going to be one country where these guys are going to head to, it is going to be us because of the Iraq war and our involvement in Afghanistan and against Islamic State."

So far the EU has insisted naval forces pick up the 'refugees' and take them to which ever European country the forces originate from. A number of countries, including Britain, have refused so far but if the refugees are given EU citizenship London will be powerless to stop them coming to the UK.

Egypt's ambassador to the UK had already wanred of "boats full of terrorists" coming to Europe if nothing is done to stop them.

#1 what are national borders for? send these economic migrants straight back to where they came from. If it's that bad they should fight their own despotic rulers and make their own countries better - not run away

#2 in world war II when we couldn't tell enemy from friend among the German and Japanese parts of our population we put them into internment camps, across the five-eyes.

I think we should do this with muslims until the war ends. Free to leave if it means returning to country of origin never to return. Otherwise wait out the war in internment camps.

#3 I am not aware of the internment of American citizens of German descent during WWII based solely on their ethnic affiliation.

#4 The policies of the US and the EU towards immigrants and refugees have gone beyond stupid and ignorant. They've gone full retard.

#5 ISIS is most likely being smuggled into the good ole U.S.A. too, thanks to liberal lack of border enforcement and crazy open borders policies.

This war is likely to go on for many long years but if they want to wait it out in internment camps it's fine with me.

They're colonizers, not migrants.

anon1 is in Australia, and they might have interned Germans.

#9 I am not aware of the internment of American citizens of German descent during WWII based solely on their ethnic affiliation.

The operative word is 'citizen', immigrants (Italian and German) who had not been naturalized were initially interned. What we know now with the release of the Japanese diplomatic traffic in '95 is that the consulates claimed sympathizers in the local communities to include the West Coast where between LA and Seattle accounted for over 90 percent of all American aircraft production.
