Myopic Asylum Laws

By now it should be obvious to everyone that Europe is crawling with tens of thousands of hardcore, radical Islamists. What might not be obvious to most, however, is that in many cases European governments, especially the British, have willfully given these ticking time bombs (pun intended) ASYLUM!

The majority of immigrants to Europe from the Middle East and Islamic world are law-abiding, good people. Although in some cases, as has been documented, there have been second-generation Muslim immigrants who have become radicalized in Europe, owing to a host of reasons: inability to assimilate, identity crises, just plain ‘ol being religious fanatics, et cetera. It’s not entirely fair to blame European governments for these types of homegrown Islamists (although they do deserve some blame). But there is another breed of European Islamist that Europe bares sole responsibility for: Islamist asylum seekers.

There are people living freely in Britain who arrived on her shores after fleeing places like Saudi Arabia. They fled Saudi Arabia not because of oppressive Islamic law, but because the Islamic law wasn’t oppressive enough for their tastes. In the recent past, but less so since 9/11, there have been cases of Bin-Laden-minded Saudis that ran afoul of the authorities, found themselves hanging by their feet in prison with electrodes on their testicles, later fled to Europe, and then were given—you guessed it—political asylum! There are Islamist organizations that legally exist in Britain but are outlawed in some Islamic countries for being too conservative, or radical, or whatever.

To really understand the insanity of European asylum laws, imagine, if you will, that we are back in 1938 Europe. Within Nazi Germany there is a group of uber-Nazis, further to the right than even Hitler himself. These guys don’t want to take over Europe piecemeal, or to engineer faux “justifications” for their expansionist designs—they just want to attack, attack, attack. Not satisfied with Hitler’s pace, they publicly criticize the fuhrer and attempt to assassinate a couple of high-ranking Nazi officials. Hitler sends the Gestapo after them and they are forced to flee Nazi Germany.

One would think these uber-Nazis are screwed, but they have no fear because they know they can live safely in Great Britain, thanks to her retarded asylum laws. Maybe a few end up in Paris or Antwerp, too. There, they are free to work on their nefarious designs and even agitate against and intimidate the local Jews. (Let's face it, the local governments don’t care much about their Jewish citizens, and besides, the uber-Nazis' actions are understandable because they're upset about Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians. Oh wait, Israel didn’t exist then … well, choose your anti-Semitic canard/excuse, there a lot them.)

And so the uber-Nazis live safely for some time, but after a few months they decide that the greater goal is to takeover Europe for ze Fazerland. Conveniently ensconced in their cozy government-subsidized flats, the uber-Nazis help lay the ground work the coming Nazi invasion.

Perhaps the above analogy isn’t perfect, but it illustrates the point—and the point is that lax European asylum law is not just shortsighted and myopic, but damn near suicidal. European, and especially British citizens, should be up-in-arms.
