A member of Facebook’s new oversight board, which will have control of the content moderation process for the social media platform, has in the past expressed support for the Muslim Brotherhood, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) and media reports.On Wednesday, Facebook announced the first 20 members of its oversight board, which has been handed the final say on what user-generated content the platform removes. Among the members are Yemeni Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkol Karman, who was awarded the accolade for her role in the Arab Spring.

However, she also appears to have links to the Muslim Brotherhood, which has been proscribed as a terror organization by several countries including Saudi Arabia, Russia and Bahrain. The Muslim Brotherhood has stated that its aim is the establishment of a state run under Sharia law. It is also the precursor to Hamas.When Karman won the peace prize in 2011, the Muslim Brotherhood’s official website, Ihkwanweb, put out a statement congratulating her and recognizing her as a member of a Muslim Brotherhood branch.The statement, dated October 9, 2011, read: “Dr. Abdul-Rahman Ba-Fadel, president of the parliamentary bloc of the Yemeni Congregation for Reform (YCR), Yemen’s Muslim Brotherhood, congratulated the Yemeni political activist Tawakkul Karman, member of the YCR, for winning the Nobel Peace Prize.”Karman herself has also made public statements in support of the Muslim Brotherhood.A report by MEMRI noted that in an interview on BBC Arabic TV on September 15, 2013, Karman said, “The most important achievement of the January [2011] Revolution [in Egypt] was the abolishment of the emergency law. Unfortunately, the July 3 [2013] coup reinstated that law. The Muslim Brotherhood and its supporters, who oppose the military rule, are engaged in a legendary struggle, which they are waging with their blood, their resolute steadfastness, and their belief that they will restore the revolution to its true path.”

The interviewer asked whether she supported the Muslim Brotherhood, and she replied: “You can hear it from me: Yes, at this stage, I am partial towards the Muslim Brotherhood…”Facebook’s oversight board members have been handed considerable powers regarding what content may be shared on the platform.In an op-ed published by the New York Times on Wednesday, the four co-chairs of the group, who were involved in hand-picking the 16 others members, including Karman, explained that the board has been awarded a $130 million trust fund to carry out its work completely independent of Facebook, and that its decisions cannot be revoked by Facebook unless they are found to violate the law.The board members will contract directly with the board, and will serve fixed terms of three years, up to a maximum of three terms.”We cannot be removed by Facebook,” they wrote. “Facebook’s chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, has also personally committed to this arrangement.”Defining the mission of the board, they wrote, “We know that social media can spread speech that is hateful, harmful and deceitful. In recent years, the question of what content should stay up or come down on platforms like Facebook, and who should decide this, has become increasingly urgent.”The oversight board will focus on the most challenging content issues for Facebook, including in areas such as hate speech, harassment and protecting people’s safety and privacy,” the statement continued. “It will make final and binding decisions on whether specific content should be allowed or removed from Facebook and Instagram.” Facebook owns Instagram.”The members announced today reflect a wide range of views and experiences,” Facebook said in a statement. “They have lived in over 27 countries, speak at least 29 languages and are all committed to the mission of the Oversight Board. We expect them to make some decisions that we, at Facebook, will not always agree with – but that’s the point: they are truly autonomous in their exercise of independent judgment. We also expect that the board’s membership itself will face criticism. But its long-term success depends on it having members who bring different perspectives and expertise to bear.”

“I am calm, and during the kidnapping I was always treated well”. Thus began the declaration by Sylvia Romano after her arrival back in Italy. She was kidnapped 18 months ago in a village in Kenya by Al Shebaab while working for an NGO. Sylvia landed in Rome wearing a long Islamic green tunic.

As for her conversion to Islam, Sylvia said that “it happened in mid-captivity, when I asked to be able to read the Koran and I was satisfied,” defining her conversion to Islam as “spontaneous and not forced. In these months I was given a Koran and thanks to my jailers I also learned some Arabic. They explained their rationale and their culture to me.”

The plane that brought her back to her native country landed in Rome, where Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio welcomed her. Italy also paid a ransom for her release.

Sylvia was held captive because she was Italian, Western and Christian. If she had been Muslim, they would not have kidnapped her and would not have forced her to do all this. They wanted both the psychological submission of the captive and the money of her country. They now have both.

And she was not the first Italian hostage released after a ransom paid by the government and who came back talking nicely about their jailers.

I was reminded of Leah Sharibu, the Nigerian girl who has been in the hands of the Islamic terrorists of Boko Haram for two years. They released all the girls except her. As her kidnappers told her parents: “She refused to convert to Islam, she said she will never do it, but until she becomes a Muslim, she will not be release.d” And the same goes for Asia Bibi: if she had accepted the conversion to Islam she could have left death row in Pakistan much earlier.

Italian Catholic magazines and clergy actually called Sylvia “a model”.

Islam imposed its physcal symbols on a girl who radically changed her appeareance after her brutal kidnapping. In Rome, Sylvia asked to be called “Aisha”, the name of the favourite of Prophet Mohammed.

We don’t know what kind of young woman came back from Kenya. But we know that Islamic terrorists now have 4 million euros paid to them by the Italian government and they see their former captive defending Islam while smiling at the cameras.

Such a debacle for the post-Christian West.

A Syrian immigrant took the regional express train from Leipzig to Chemnitz yesterday evening. In Liebertwolkwitz he apparently left the train. Only a short time later, however, the train attendant spotted him again on the train coupling between two compartments. The man had obviously used the stop of the train in Liebertwolkwitz to take up this life-threatening sitting position ( photo ). The train stopped in Belgershain. The Federal Police got the Syrian off the train coupling and determined the man’s personal details. Why the Syrian took this life-threatening sitting position he could not explain to the officers. He was once again urgently instructed about the dangers of his actions. But the man’s understanding did not last long, because only a short time later he was standing on a train coupling again and prevented the train from continuing its journey. The train attendant took the man to his compartment and handed him over to the Federal Police again in Bad Lausick.The Syrian, who is staying in Germany without permission, was taken by the officers to the Centre for Asylum Seekers in Chemnitz in a police car.

A 63-year-old Congolese migrant was arrested by Paris police Sunday after allegedly raping a 92-year-old resident in the nursing home where he was employed.

The alleged sex attack took place at the Korian Les Arcades retirement home in the 12th arrondissement of Paris on Sunday evening and was reported to police by the director of the facility after a nursing assistant claimed to have caught the man shortly after the rape took place.

According to the nursing assistant, she noticed the Congolese male in the room of the 92-year-old  and asked him what he was doing there as he was not assigned to that particular area of the retirement home, Actu 17 reports.

She said the man turned around and his genitals were exposed and also noticed the elderly woman had been partly undressed. The nursing assistant screamed and the man fled, only to be discovered later by police in the garden of the facility.

According to newspaper Le Parisien, the elderly victim was in shock and was treated by the emergency services upon their arrival to the scene. The paper added that a spokesperson for the Korian group who run the retirement home refused to give any details about the accused employee but confirmed he had been fired.

The Korian group run 308 retirement homes across France and have been accused by families of residents of not doing enough to protect their loved ones form the Wuhan coronavirus. At least 606 residents are thought to have died from the virus within homes run by the company.

The case comes just days after a nurse in Italy who was fighting the coronavirus in Naples was raped by a Senegalese migrant for around 45 minutes after she had finished her shift and was waiting for a bus.

The French case is not the first to see a migrant man allegedly rape elderly residents in a care home In 2016, a Somali teen was arrested after he managed to sneak into a German elderly home and proceeded to molest and rape several residents and later killed an 87-year-old woman who confronted him.

Last Sunday, around 8:45 p.m., a 25-year-old Afghan attacked several cars stopping at a traffic light intersection on the street Zschokkestraße in Munich. In the process, the 25-year-old damaged three cars waiting there with a kitchen knife ( scratches and dents, a total damage of several thousand euros). No persons were injured. Several police cars of the Munich police department drove to the scene after being called for help. The police arrived within a very short time and were able to arrest the 25-year-old near the crime scene. He was still carrying the knife, a kitchen knife, with him. This was seized as evidence. During the arrest, the suspect made some incoherent statements.

The motivation for the crime is unclear and is the subject of further investigations by the Munich police. He was charged with the initial suspicion of attempted robbery against motorists.
During the course of the day, the 25-year-old was brought before the investigating judge, who in the meantime issued an arrest warrant.

Many in Italy were anxiously awaiting this Sunday for the return of Silvia Romano, a twenty-five-year-old Italian national who was freed after being kidnapped in November 2018 in Chakama, (northern) Kenya by al-Shabaabjihadists.  Romano, a trained medical practitioner, was working as a volunteer for the Italian charity called Africa Milele when she was taken and accused by her captors for proselytizing Christianity in the Kenyan town.

What most were not expecting, as she stepped out of the plane that brought her to Ciampino airport outside of Rome, was her Islamic attire.

In what became a huge pro-left and pro-Islamic propaganda, after being greeted by family members, as well as Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio, Romano announced she had become a Muslim, saying: “My name is Aisha now” — the name of Muhammad’s favorite nine-year-old wife.  Romano attested that her submission to Islam was a was spontaneous: “They didn’t force me to do anything. I’ve always been locked in rooms. I read and wrote.”

This dispels a 2019 report by Il Giornale that, according to Italian intelligence, Romano was forced to convert to Islam and to marry one of her captors.  Apparently, the jihadists who kept her prisoner brainwashed her, resorting to psychological maneuvers that severed her emotional and cultural ties from her homeland in order to make her feel assimilated to the environment she was forced to live.  The fact that the young Italian was treated well during her imprisonment, even given a PC to study the Arabic language, makes acceptance of her kidnappers’s faith with a positive and deliberate will questionable.  However, what raises more of an eyebrow is the Italian government’s clandestine efforts to achieve her release.

Al-Shabaab, according to a 2017 report, “has proven that they have the ability to diversify their financial tactics, despite military setbacks and funds from abroad drying up.”  In other words, they are experts at extorting money, and Silvia Romano became another instrument to acquire more funds for their terroristic aims. 

As indicated by the Italian journal La Verità, there was a large payoff to the Islamic jihadists by Italian officials.  The fact that former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi said: “Nothing is free is cases like this one,” gives credence that notwithstanding the millions of unemployed Italians during the coronavirus lockdown, their taxes were used to facilitate Romano’s freedom.

Two factors to consider. The first is the danger of negotiating with terrorists, especially when they demand large sums of money.

As Peter R. Neumann, Director of the Center for Defense Studies at King’s College, London, once explained:

“The argument against negotiating with terrorists is simple: Democracies must never give in to violence, and terrorists must never be rewarded for using it.  Negotiations give legitimacy to terrorists and their methods and undermine actors who have pursued political change through peaceful means.  Talks can destabilize the negotiating governments’ political systems, undercut international efforts to outlaw terrorism, and set a dangerous precedent.”

Yet governments still do this all the time.  According to reports, the Obama administration secretly paid $400 million to Iran in January 2016 in exchange for four American sailors it had detained. The four Navy personnel had  surrendered in Iranianwaters, causing an international incident and bringing embarrassment on the Navy for the litany of errors that led to their arrest and their violations of regulations while in custody.  The payoff did not help America’s role as leader of the free world in any way, shape, or form.

The second issue to evaluate is that Silvia Romano refused to condemn the Islamic tenets that the al-Shabaab Muslims referred to in order to justify her kidnapping in the first place.

While certain Muslims, progressive-minded officials, and churchmen refer to quotessuch as: “Observe your duty to Allah in respect to the women, and treat them well,” to claim that Islam treats women with honor, the truth of the matter is something else.

As I detail at length in my book Islam: Religion of Peace? — The Violation of Natural Rights and Western Cover-Up, a woman, whether married or a concubine, is considered a man’s property.  Her role, in the former’s case, is to provide children and satisfy her husband’s sexual desires; the latter is there to exclusively meet her master’s carnal gratifications:

• “Your women are a tilth [field] for you, so go to your tilth as you will” — Sura 2, 223
• “And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess.” — Sura 4, 24
• “Men are in charge of women by what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend from their wealth.  So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in absence what Allah would have them guard.  But those from whom you fear arrogance — advise them; forsake them in bed; and, strike them.  But if they obey you, seek no means against them.” — Sura 4, 34
• A woman came to Muhammad and begged him to stop her husband from beating her.  Her skin was bruised so badly that it is described as being “greener” than the green veil she was wearing.  Muhammad did not admonish her husband, but instead ordered her to return to him and submit to his sexual desires. — Sahih al-Bukhari 72, 715

There is also an irony in Romano choosing Aisha as her new name.  Not only did the Prophet of Islam, when he was fifty-six, consummate his marriage with  nine year old Aisha, (Sahih Muslim, 8, 3309), he also used to physically abuse her: “Muhammad struck his favorite wife, Aisha, in the chest one evening when she left the house without his permission. Aisha narrates, ‘He struck me on the chest which caused me pain.’” — Sahih Muslim 4, 2127

Such hadiths are constantly utilized in the Islamic world to absolve adult males from marrying pre-pubescent girls.  Such was the infamous case of Nujood Ali of Yemen, who in 2008 was married off by her father at the age of nine.  After one sister was kidnapped and another raped, her unemployed father, who had sixteen children and two wives, figured an early marriage would keep his daughter, Nujood, fed and safe.  Instead, she said, she was beaten by in-laws, and nights were a hellish game of tag, with Nujood running from room to room to escape sex with her husband; he raped her anyway.  A year later, she made Yemeni history by taking a taxi downtown to the courts and demanding a divorce, telling her would-be lawyer: “I hate the night.”

The conversion of Silvia Romano to Islam is not so much the issue at stake as much as her decision to gloat about it inadvertently promotes treatment of women and girls as property.

European governments are using the coronavirus pandemic to grant mass amnesties to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East. While Europe is experiencing an economic shock without precedent, and tens of millions of Europeans have lost their livelihoods, migrants in Europe illegally are being showered with free housing and healthcare.

In Italy, where public debt is forecast to reach 160% of GDP this year, the left-wing coalition government has announced a plan to grant amnesty to at least 600,000 migrants in the country illegally. They would receive residency permits, initially valid for six months, that could be renewed in perpetuity.

The so-called Marshall Plan for Agriculture is the brainchild of Agriculture Minister Teresa Bellanova, who argues that the migrants are essential because they are picking crops and caring for the elderly during the coronavirus crisis. Opponents of the measure say that only a small fraction of the undocumented immigrants in Italy are currently working in agriculture or as care-givers for the elderly.

Approximately 100,000 farmhands from Eastern Europe work — legally — in Italy each year, but cannot this year due to coronavirus travel bans. Agriculture trade unions report a current shortage of 200,000 workers. This figure represents one-third of the number of migrants Bellanova says she would like to legalize.

Former Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, who now leads the opposition, said that he was in favor of temporarily granting work permits for those currently working as farmhands, but that a mass amnesty of hundreds of thousands of migrants cannot be justified. He proposed an alternative plan: unemployed immigrants who are in the country legally and receiving welfare payments should be recruited to work in the fields.

Salvini said that the regularization of hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants was “slap in the face” to millions of unemployed Italians. He warned that it would also spark a new wave of illegal immigration to Italy. Bellanova threatened to resign if she does not get her way.

Although calls for a mass amnesty predate the coronavirus crisis by several years, they were consistently blocked while Salvini and his League party were in the government. The current government, sworn into office in September 2019, has been more liberal in matters of illegal immigration. Bellanova, backed by activist groups, now appears to be using the democratic vacuum created by the coronavirus state of emergency to decree the amnesty without parliamentary approval.

In Portugal, the government announced on March 28 that all migrants with pending applications would be treated as permanent residents until at least July 1 to ensure that the migrants would have access to public services during the coronavirus outbreak. The migrants were granted access to the national health service, welfare benefits, bank accounts, and work and rental contracts. The move by Portugal has spurred similar calls for mass amnesties in other European countries.

In France, more than 100 French MPs signed a letter addressed to Prime Minister Édouard Philippe which called on the government to regularize all undocumented migrants due to the coronavirus. The letter, published in the newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche on April 12, stated:

“We solemnly ask the French government to implement the same measures as the Portuguese government. The health catastrophe we are suffering from compels us to act responsibly and without delay, as did our Portuguese friends.”

The actual number of illegal immigrants in France is unknown but was estimated to be between 300,000 and 400,000 in 2017, according to the Pew Research Center. Considering the waves of mass migration since then, the number is probably well above a half-million.

In Spain, where an astonishing one-half of the total population of 47 million people now depend on payments from the state for their livelihoods, 200 NGOs asked the government for an “extraordinary regularization process” for illegal immigrants due to the coronavirus. “The wide and extraordinary regularization of all migrants living in Spanish territory is the most agile and exhaustive measure to guarantee that all people can face this health and economic crisis,” they said in a statement dated April 14. The number of illegal immigrants in Spain is estimated to be well over 800,000, according to the nationwide radio broadcaster COPE.

In the United Kingdom, Catholic leaders, on May 3, called on Prime Minister Boris Johnson to offer asylum seekers and other “insecure” immigrants the ability to live freely and work in the country during the coronavirus pandemic. Britain has up to 1.2 million illegal immigrants, a quarter of all those that have unlawfully entered Europe, according to the Pew Research Center.

Meanwhile, the Council of Europe’s Commissioner for Human Rights, Dunja Mijatović, called on European governments to release rejected asylum seekers and irregular migrants from detention due to the coronavirus. In a statement dated March 26, she wrote:

“In the face of the global Covid-19 pandemic, many member states have had to suspend forced returns of persons no longer authorized to stay on their territories, including so-called Dublin returns, and it is unclear when these might be resumed. Under human rights law, immigration detention for the purpose of such returns can only be lawful as long as it is feasible that return can indeed take place. This prospect is clearly not in sight in many cases at the moment….

“The release of the most vulnerable should be prioritized. Since the immigration detention of children, whether unaccompanied or with their families, is never in their best interest, they should be released immediately. The authorities of member states should also refrain from issuing new detention orders to persons who are unlikely to be removed in the near future.”

In Spain, where a coronavirus state of emergency was declared on March 14, the government has released thousands of illegal immigrants held in so-called Internment Centers for Foreigners (Centro de Internamiento de Extranjeros, CIE). Spanish law stipulates that migrants cannot be held in a CIE, a temporary holding facility prior to deportation, for more than 60 days. Because coronavirus travel bans have made deportations impossible, the Interior Ministry let them go. Many migrants have been sent to so-called Refugee Reception Centers (Centro de Acogida a Refugiados, CAR), where they will be provided with room and board for six months.

In Belgium, the government released several hundred migrants from detention centers. The Brussels Times reported:

“The 300 detainees, mainly men, were released from detention with an order to leave Belgium within 30 days. In such cases, the sans-papiers, as they are known, are not forcibly placed on a flight to their homeland, but simply allowed to go out of the front door of the detention center. It is to be expected that many will disappear into clandestinity. Since they are without papers, tracing them from now on will be difficult if not impossible.”

In the United Kingdom, the government released more than 700 migrants from Immigration Removal Centers (IRC) because they cannot be deported due to the coronavirus pandemic. Judicial tribunals forced the Home Office to release dozens of migrants despite fears that they could pose a risk to the public. “More than 40 countries to which the Home Office planned to deport them have either closed their borders or imposed travel restrictions, making deportation impossible,” according to The Telegraph.

The UK’s leniency appears to have sparked another wave of illegal immigration. Since the coronavirus lockdown began on March 23, nearly 900 people have illegally crossed the English Channel from France, according to Migration Watch UK. On May 8, border patrol officers stopped eight boats carrying 145 people, a record for a single day, according to the Home Office. More than 1,200 illegal immigrants are believed successfully to have crossed the English Channel illegally so far in 2020.

The National Crime Agency told Parliament that the aim of both migrants and smugglers is now to be “intercepted” by British authorities and taken to a UK port where a large majority of those arriving (possibly over 90%) will claim asylum.

“The biggest incentive for those attempting the dangerous Channel crossings is the knowledge that being picked up by a British Border Force vessel or managing to set foot on our soil provides a strong chance of a permanent stay,” according to Migration Watch UK.

On May 8, the German newspaper Die Welt reported on a leaked document from the European border protection agency, Frontex, which is bracing for a new influx of migrants at the border between Greece and Turkey once the Turkish government lifts its coronavirus restrictions:

“The restrictions on Covid-19 have been gradually lifted in most Aegean provinces, but not yet in Canakkale, Istanbul and Izmir. If freedom of movement is restored in these areas, massive movements of migrants towards the Greek-Turkish border can be expected.”

In an interview with Die Welt, the Interior Minister of Saarland, Klaus Bouillon (CDU), said that the German public would not look kindly on another wave of illegal immigration:

“The willingness and acceptance in the country to accept people has decreased. We probably would not be able to activate enough volunteers anymore. In addition, the absorption capacity is a big problem.

“There is great discontent among the population because everyone who arrives here immediately has many or even higher rights and rights to benefits or medical care than someone who has worked here for their entire life.

“There is great resentment and frustration, which I hear in conversation every day. Basic amounts of benefits are established by law. Even if someone throws away their passport and does not cooperate with the authorities, their benefits can be reduced only minimally.”

The German government continues to take in more migrants. The Chancellery recently announced that it was seeking a “coalition of the willing” from across Europe to take in children from refugee camps in Greece. The plan was to help 1,500 children identified as being particularly in need: unaccompanied children under the age of 14 or children in need of urgent medical assistance. The German government pledged to take in 350 children and stressed that its top priority was to rescue young girls. When the first flight carrying 47 children arrived in Hanover on April 18, only four were girls.

Writing for the German blog Die Achse des Guten (“The Axis of Good”), political commentator Anabel Schunke described the long-term problems facing Germany by allowing in millions of mostly uneducated males. In an essay titled, “Many Men and Few Women — The Problem with Immigration,” she wrote:

“It has been a while since the issue of immigration has been as heated as in recent days…. The reason for this was the admission of ‘unaccompanied minor refugees’ from Greece as agreed to by a ‘coalition of the willing.’ Yesterday, 47 of them landed in Hanover. Earlier, twelve youths had arrived in Luxembourg. In addition to Germany and Luxembourg, France, Ireland, Finland, Portugal and Croatia have also agreed to accept unaccompanied asylum seekers from the camps in Greece. A total of 1,500 children are to be flown out in this way. Germany alone has announced that it will accept between 350 and 500 of them….

“This number may seem insignificant compared to the refugee crisis of 2015/16 and what has happened since then in uncontrolled, illegal migration. It was said that the children were primarily seriously ill or girls. Most of them under the age of 14.

“As we know today, the reality is different, and the outrage is correspondingly great. The first images from Luxembourg suggested that things would not be much different in Germany. There was not a single girl among the twelve young people flown in. By contrast, ten boys from Afghanistan and two from Syria. Among the 47 unaccompanied persons who arrived in Hanover yesterday, there were only four girls….

“Such an admission of ‘unaccompanied minor refugees’ (UMF) is expensive. Depending on the region, a UMF costs the taxpayer between 5,000 and 7,000 euros per month. In Hesse, every unaccompanied minor costs 101,515 euros a year and thus just under 8,460 euros per month.

“Even if you take the lowest cost of 5,000 euros, this alone results in costs of 235,000 euros per month for the 47 minors who entered yesterday. This is not a trifle.

“The enormous costs that result from the fact that every social worker would like to have a piece of the cake and that that could be fundamentally questioned, especially in times of an impending economic crisis, is not our only problem.

“The proportion of male asylum seekers has been significantly higher than that of women in every age group since 2015. No fewer than 93% of the children and adolescents in the Greek refugee camps are male, and it can be assumed that the Interior Ministry was aware of this when, for general reassurance, it was announced that they would primarily take in the seriously ill and girls….

“Sixty-seven percent of asylum seekers between 18- to 25-years-old are male; 63.9% of those between 16- and 18-years are male; and 64.9% of those between 25- and 30-years are male…. If you add all the age groups, you get a share of over 50% for those under 30.

“Muslim countries currently have 300 million males under the age of 15. This is not a forecast, but already a reality. Scientists like Gunnar Heinsohn assume that a maximum of 100 million can obtain a position in the society of their home country. The remaining 200 million will try to emigrate or otherwise fight for their place.

“Religious, ideological fanaticism thrives on this breeding ground for young men who are ready to fight, which only serves as justification for their own struggle for a piece of the cake. So, what we see today in terms of crises and conflicts will not be less in the next 15 years, but probably more. Against this background, the migration flows we are experiencing today are only the beginning….

“Where there are many men with fewer women, there is a higher level of sexual frustration on all sides, which in turn leads to conflicts between locals and immigrants and leads to increased sexual assault and general hatred of women. Many young migrants are in constant contradiction between strict Islamic sexual morals and the sexual freedom of Europe. This immigration also influences the portrayal of women and the security of women living here. It is all the more tragic that it is precisely the women here who are largely in favor of this immigration. Perhaps the increasing loss of freedom and security among women living here will eventually lead to more empathy with the fate of tormented women in radical Islamic countries like Afghanistan. Maybe one day they will see that it does make a difference whether it is mostly boys and men or girls and women who come to us.

“If you look at the comment sections of German news sites, many citizens still cannot seem to get enough of the current wave of immigration. In any event, it will become interesting when the economic crisis has accelerated after the corona shutdown. It remains to be seen whether the current supporters of mass migration will still be willing to let their ‘moral’ superiority cost so much. We will find out after the corona crisis.”

The debate over the Swedish model has been concentrated around whether countries should battle the coronavirus pandemic by locking down everything or adopting the more liberal approach. This debate is as irrelevant to the actual causes of coronavirus deaths as the inhabitants of Constantinople debating whether angels have genders while the Islamic invaders were preparing to breach the city walls.

Preventing teenagers from going to the beach, as many American states and European countries have chosen to do, is going to have a very limited impact on a disease that is killing people in nursing homes.

While Sweden does have a higher rate of virus deaths than Norway or Finland, it’s not because the bars are open. 90% of the dead in Sweden were over 70 and half of them lived in special housing.

Sweden has a higher rate of deaths in care homes than Norway or Finland, and lockdown enthusiasts have struggled to explain why keeping bars open would be killing people in housing for the elderly.

But there is a crucial difference between Swedish, Norwegian, and Finnish care homes.

A decade ago, in Sweden, 13% of the workers in care homes were immigrants, while only 5% in Norway and 1% in Finland were. Currently, 28% of care home workers in Sweden are foreigners, but in Stockholm, where the real dying has occurred, 55% of the care home workers are foreign immigrants.

Stockholm has been ground zero for the outbreak with more deaths than the rest of the country combined. And half of those deaths took place in care homes making for a very troubling pattern.

In an interview, Johan Giesecke, Sweden’s former Chief Epidemologist and Chief Scientist of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), let slip the formerly unspeakable.

Giesecke admitted that Sweden had failed to protect the elderly, and noted that, “many of the people working in nursing homes are from other countries, they’re refugees or asylum seekers.”

The epidemiologist then suggested that many of them might not understand Swedish and may not have been aware of what precautions they should be taking to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

He also noted that Sweden tended to have larger nursing homes than Norway. While he did not say so, in a larger facility, a staff member can potentially spread the virus around to far more residents.

Anders Tegnell, the current state epidemiologist, the Fauci of Sweden, a cult figure whose face appears on everything from smartphone covers to tattoos and caps, dismissed the suggestion that immigrants, who have a much higher rate of coronavirus, could be responsible as, “purely speculative.”

He also insisted that, “we’d best not point fingers” yet for the death toll in Sweden’s nursing homes.

Sweden has a higher death toll than Norway or Finland, but it also has a far higher immigrant population. Finland’s much smaller immigrant population may be one reason why its pandemic never really got off the ground. Not only does Sweden have a larger immigrant population, but it has an especially sizable percentage of an immigrant population that appears most vulnerable to the virus.

In early April, some medical experts estimated that Somalis represented 40% of the coronavirus deaths in Stockholm and 18% of the death toll in Sweden. That may be because of Stockholm’s first 15 coronavirus deaths, 6 of those who died were Somalis. The Somalis have been followed by Iraqis, Syrians, and Afghans as being significantly overrepresented among the ranks of coronavirus cases.

Stockholm’s immigrant suburbs were some of the hardest hit by the pandemic. In Rinkeby-Kista, where almost the entire district is populated by immigrants, infection rates were twice as high as the rest of Stockholm. Rinkeby is home to Somalis, Iraqis, Pakistanis, and Moroccans. The area has been a hub for violent Islamic riots, hateful mosques, and secret memberships in Islamic terrorist groups.

In early April, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health revealed that immigrants made up 1 in 5 cases of the virus and that 1 in 100 Somalis in Norway had tested positive for the virus. A week later, it was 1 in 4. Somalis made up 6% of confirmed cases. And in Helsinki, Finland, Somalis accounted for 17% of cases.

The coronavirus is a recent phenomenon and we don’t have all the answers as to why some groups appear to be more vulnerable to it than others. Researchers have proposed varying explanations for Somali vulnerability from ethnic benign neutropenia, to low vitamin D levels, dense living conditions, intergenerational households, high rates of smoking, and poor language skills.

It’s difficult to know whether any or all of these might be potentially relevant.

In an International Center for Violent Extremism survey, some Somalis blamed a refusal to take health warnings seriously. One respondent from Stockholm claimed that the community had been listening “to wrong information with extremist ideas from religion (sic) scholars”.

“When it comes to immigrant communities, we have established good communication with them,” Tegnell had said.

But communications are not the same thing as compliance.

Sweden’s relaxed social distancing depended on the country’s communal values. But immigration had undermined those communal values which assumed that most people care about the welfare of others. An immigrant population that did not see itself as part of the larger national community might not care enough to take the steps needed to avoid infecting people in restaurants or nursing homes.

Another Somali living in Sweden related that, “a former colleague called me, who had a cold and flu and COVID-19 symptoms. He was told to remain in the house, but yet went out and visited restaurants in Bellevue, Gothenburg to relax and socialize. My friend said, the Somalis were still there.”

“Many people said that this disease is only meant to kill for non-Muslims thus, it cannot affect Muslims,” a third Somali living in Sweden said. “I’ve watched shows from Somali National TV televised where the reporter asked people playing and socializing at Lido beach in Mogadishu if they are unaware of corona virus. So many of those people answered, ‘We are Muslims! This disease will only kill non-believers.’”

Islamic clerics have indeed spread the message that the pandemic is meant to kill non-Muslims.

“Thank you corona!” an Egyptian Imam had even been caught on video, while praying that, “Allah, relieve the Islamic nation of the coronavirus, and use it to annihilate the infidels.”

There are no definitive answers as to the exact cause of the outbreak among Muslim immigrants. But Swedish authorities knew early on that it was more prevalent among certain immigrant groups and yet did nothing to protect the elderly Swedes living in care homes from a migrant care worker population.

Any such steps would have been seen as Islamophobic.

Sweden, like other European countries, chose political correctness over the lives of its people. And the elderly, who had given the most to their children and grandchildren, paid the price.

The cries of Hamza, a pseudonym, echoed through the corridors of the military hospital after Dr. Alaa Moussa set fire to his genitals, leading to severe burns and damage that is, according to a urologist, Dr. Mohamed Wahbi, is impossible to undo. 

Dr. Wahbi, who started working in the same hospital in February 2011, has previously revealed that Alaa Moussa, who recently moved to Germany, harbored a great hatred of the demonstrators and enjoyed torturing the injured as a show of loyalty to the regime. 

Moussa, originally from central Homs city, left Syria through Lebanon to take refuge in Germany, in the town of Bad Wildungen, where he was seen several times, working as an orthopedist in a local clinic.

Tens of pro-regime fighters have arrived in Europe after committing horrendous war crimes and human rights violations in Syria. 

Anwar al-Bunni, Director of Syrian Center for Legal Studies and Research in Berlin, told The New Arab newspaper that his center is collecting evidence and witnesses against a number of persons accused of human rights violations, so that they can be prosecuted in specialized courts.

Activist Mohammed al-Kurdi confirmed that the doctor has lived in the city of Kassel, in Germany for 4 years. A number of refugees stated that he is collecting information on Syrian refugees and activists for the regime, the nature and purpose of which is unknown. Previously, Moussa has publicly threatened a few refugees with their property and their relatives in Syria, indicating his affiliation with the security services. 

In 2012, Channel 4 broadcasted a video that was filmed secretly over the first three months of the revolution from inside Abde Qader Shaqfa Hospital, and that showed shocking scenes of torture from inside the hospital in al-Waer neighborhood, west of Homs, committed by doctors and medical and security staff against the injured. 

In the video, a number of people, who were injured in the demonstrations, were brought there blindfolded and tied to beds to be whipped, beaten, and electrocuted, they were left with no food for days, their legs twisted and broken, and their penises tied, preventing them from urinating and causing intense kidney pain.
