Turkey’s Muslim Refugee Invasion Is Terrifying Europe
October 16, 2015 By Walid Shoebat
“We cannot organize or stem the refugee movements without working with Turkey,” said German Chancellor Angela Merkel to the leaders of the 28 nation states arrived for the summit in Brussels.
Europe is finally realizing that the flood of illegal immigrants stems from the Red Dragon of Turkey (which is exactly what we said on September 8th) and now this dragon is asking for an arm and a leg, one major bribe of 3 BILLION Euros or else the flood continues.
These slouchy Christians in Europe don’t seem to get it. The Book of Revelation has already warned:
“The Dragon now takes to attacking the woman, who is given wings to escape the dragon who attacks her with a flood from its mouth, which in the end is swallowed by the earth. ” (Revelation 12)
The “flood” (water in the Bible), represent different ethnic groups: ‘…the waters which thou saw … are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.’ (see Revelation 17:5) This flood is only “swallowed by the earth in the end” which is eventually fulfilled according to Ezekiel 28-32 where it gives us the literal names of every nation that already comprises the same peoples who are flooding Europe.
Europe is so desperate, that the EU summit in Brussels stretched into the early hours of Thursday, and thought that they achieved some results after attempting to pay off Turkey. While no final deal has been inked, EU leaders and Ankara have managed to agree on an “action plan”, European Council President Donald Tusk told reporters.
“Our intensified meetings with Turkish leaders … in the last couple of weeks were devoted to one goal: stemming the migratory flows that go via Turkey to the EU. The action plan is a major step in this direction,” said Tusk.
“Migratory flows”? Never in history have we seen a phenomenon where Muslims flow like a torrent to fill up Europe and stemming from the Red Dragon of Turkey.
The allegoric text in Revelation cannot be understood unless we remove prejudicial blinders and certain prophetic persuasions that stem from the typical western divides focusing on Rome, Russia and the E.U forgetting what is obvious: Revelation matches the whole of Ezekiel. In Ezekiel all the nations that are “swallowed by the earth” are Muslim, not Christian Orthodox Russians or Catholic Italians.
But the European leaders failed to reach a final agreement on recruiting Turkey to help stem the flow of refugees from the Middle East, with some eastern member states dragging their heels over how much aid (bribe) to grant their Muslim neighbor.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel told a news conference that the European Union had a draft accord with Turkey on curtailing the flow of migrants and refugees. She said the figure of 3 billion euros (actually $3.4 billion) in EU aid to Turkey was discussed at a summit in Brussels, but that the issue had yet to win full support from the 28-nation bloc.
To cement the potential deal Merkel is set to visit Istanbul on Sunday to commit more harlotry with the dragon.

Major Christian Persecution Is Happening In England — Muslims Stab Christians, Stone Them With Rocks, Hit Them With Bricks, And Attack Christians With Fire
October 17, 2015 By Theodore Shoebat
Major persecution in England and in the UK, with Christians living in the Islamic “no-go” zones facing all sorts of attacks by Muslims. The Muslims throw stones at their cars, attack them with knives and fire, and say all sorts of abuses at them. As we read from one report:
As the UK government prepares to record religious hate crimes against Muslims separately due to a massive rise in recorded incidents, some human rights activists are arguing that the government is missing a major phenomenon, possibly due to political correctness. What phenomenon? Religious hate crimes committed by Muslims, especially against those who have converted from Islam, or non-Muslims who are from predominantly Islamic ethnicities. On occasion, this phenomenon has appeared in passing in the national media consciousness and then faded out again. However, these activists say that for many, particularly Christians who are a minority in their own ethnicities, their experience of religious hate in the UK is a pretty continuous one, in some cases approaching the level of persecution in their ‘mother’ countries. It does not solely affect people who have moved to this country either, in some cases, it affects people born and brought up in the UK.
One such case is that of the Hussain family. Living life in Bradford, they have faced around 15 years of persecution because they are a Christian convert family. Persecution in the UK in the 21st century is what their children have known their entire lives including: assaults; stones thrown through car and living room windows; intimidation; false accusations to get the father arrested (the most recent being in March 2015); multiple vehicles destroyed; being forced to move house after an arson attack; and currently ongoing persecution stemming from one particularly influential Muslim family on their street. The family is of Pakistani heritage, and the British Pakistani Christian Association (BPCA) was recently asked to take up their case. A BPCA reearcher, who wishes to remain anonymous, said:
“I had already been aware of the family from previous reports in the media, but when I started talking to them and reading the very articulate blog one of the daughters has set up in the last year that documents their experiences, I was appalled. The media did not tell the half of it. Her life might as well have been lived out in Pakistan, because what that family has endured matches reports from Pakistan – the continuous harassment, violence, the siding of the police – UK police, I stress – with the extremists persecuting them, telling the family that they ‘brought this on themselves’ – it is utterly appalling and it needs to be exposed. If I had been given this report with all locations removed, I would have said these events had to have been in Pakistan or a Muslim country.”
However, he went on to say that while he was appalled, he was not that surprised. “I have seen similar cases before in other cities in the UK, and not even involving converts from Islam, but Pakistanis from Christian families who have been Christian for many generations. We don’t know how common these more extreme examples are, but we know these incidents are far from isolated. Many Pakistani Christians have to run a double gauntlet. They have to endure their children on the school bus being verbally abused as Christian “infidels” by Muslim schoolmates, and then also being told by whites to “go home you Muslims” also said with added racial slurs. In one case in Birmingham a Pakistani Christian family who gained asylum after fleeing Pakistan faced the same kind of physical violence and tactics here as they had in Pakistan. This happened within a couple of weeks of moving out of the asylum system and into council accommodation. The council had to re-house them. These were not converts, yet as soon as the nearby mosque found out they weren’t Muslims, the attacks started, including false accusations of desecration of the mosque, knife attacks and violence at their front door. I have been to stay with the family several times in their new home, and whilst I can’t go into details, I can tell you I have seen for myself a little of the appalling abuse they are being subjected to online.”
He went on to detail how on one of his visits to Birmingham, both white and Asian Christians detailed no go areas where it was not safe for non-Muslims to go or even park. “There was a particular climate of fear amongst Asian Christians. One comment that sticks in my memory was made by a local Asian Christian leader: ‘We know what they will do next. They will go for our children’. They were making preparations against attempts to convert their children to Islam by whatever means.”
BPCA chairman Wilson Chowdhry said: “One blog post by the daughter which was so moving was a simple one telling of her delight and relief because the family got away to London to have one week free of persecution. Unfortunately, their story matches many others out there. There are many converts to Christianity who live underground, in fear. There is a reason that other Christian organisations have set up a series of safe-houses in the UK. We understand that in at least some cases, converts have had to not only change address and name, but even their National Insurance numbers, so great is the threat they live under. A very significant number of the so-called ‘honour killings’ in this country involve victims who have converted from Islam to Christianity. This whole area is far from a British problem as there are reports of similar issues across Western Europe – France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Holland, Denmark, Sweden and more. All too often the story is that the authorities do nothing, although in some cases, the Dutch and German police have put leaders of ex-Muslim movements under protection after such threats. In Sweden recently Christian refugees were so persecuted by Muslim refugees in the same state-provided houses that several Christian families felt they had no choice to leave and arrange their own accommodation at their own cost. There are repeated reports from across Europe of Christian refugees being attacked in asylum centres, and indeed at least one case where Christian refugees were thrown overboard from boats in the Mediterranean. There are reports of converts facing death threats from every area of the UK – London, Bradford, Birmingham, Glasgow. This is a nationwide problem that needs to be addressed.”
BPCA researchers say that one reason that life can be so difficult for converts or other Asian Christians is the nature of the ethnic communities they live in, where extended families live in many cities. This means that you can flee one city, but be recognised by a cousin or similar in a city hundreds of miles away. Given that these are honour-shame societies and converting from Islam – or even refusing to convert to Islam – is seen as a matter of dishonouring Islam, it is not hard to motivate people to persecute those deemed to have caused such dishonour.
“It’s not just Christians or converts who face this problem” said one researcher “I’ve had a social worker recount a meeting of colleagues, where it turned out to be all too common an occurrence that when they had to take someone – usually a girl – from an Asian (usually a code word for Muslim) home to another town or city, say, 40 miles away, within a few days the street where they housed the girl they were trying to protect would be swarming with Asian men asking questions about the girl in question. I’ve also talked to someone who has some connections with security and intelligence, and he told me that in effect, very many mosques have a small secret police, and they all network with each other. This is exactly what happens in Pakistan when a Christian accused of blasphemy or a convert from Islam moves to another city or state – from mosques and family networks and extremist groups, the word goes out and within anywhere between days and months, they are tracked down. It is so easy and quick now. Send the photo by email or sms, and get people looking.”
What is the Hussains’ story? The father, Nissar, converted at quite a young age in 1996, and was disowned by his family. He moved from Birmingham to Bradford for a quieter life, a hope that was to be bitterly disappointed. His wife Kubra was initially shocked by his conversion but quickly converted too. His oldest daughter has blogged about what it was like growing up ostracised and isolated – initially she thought it was her birthmark, but it took a long time for her to realise that non-Pakistanis did not ostracise her over it, and the real reason was because her parents were Christian converts. She vividly recalls how they were denied play in the local common ground, and they couldn’t ride their bikes in the street outside their house due to abuse, but were trapped inside for years. Even in their garden they weren’t safe. When their father built a 6 foot high fence to protect them, still when they went out to play, bricks and bottles would be hurled over the fence at them. Multiple cars were smashed up and written off, and after dinner they were rushed upstairs to their rooms so they would be safe from bricks being thrown into the living room window. Pakistani children would tell her at school that “my parents say I can’t play with you because you are a Christian”. Their walls were daubed with graffiti too vile to put in print: racially abusive and anti-Christian slurs. When she was seven (about 2001) she witnessed three men try to throttle her father to death. She describes how the family became numb to the abuse, walking automatons, but depression, anxiety, insomnia and bed-wetting blighted their lives.
About that same time when her youngest sister was born, with the car smashed again, her father borrowed a friends car to take her big brother to Boys Brigade. As soon as they were gone, a gang of local Muslims circled the house on foot and by car, trashing the property and hurling abuse, leaving the mother so traumatised she couldn’t even call the police. This went on for three hours until Nissar returned. It was the only time she saw him snap and attack, as he went after one of the ringleaders and beat him until his son stopped him. Within minutes, an enraged mob of about 30 Muslim men had gathered, armed to the teeth with wheel braces, and all sorts of other weapons to take revenge and storm the house. Nissar rushed to find a knife, screaming “I’m going to die today, but I will take as many of them with me as I can”. The children and baby were crying, terrified, the mother called the police and persuaded Nissar to put down the knife. Even with two cars and a van the police were trapped inside their vehicles by the mob. Eventually, sometime after the mob dispersed, the police went on to arrest Nissar because there was “multiple independent eyewitness testimony” which all stated that Nissar had initiated everything, and they also claimed his arrest was for his own protection! It left the children deeply traumatised, and social services got involved. In 2003, after yet another torching of their car, Nissar was told that the same would be done to their house. The police response to the car smashing and ongoing intimidation? Nothing. They refused to even take a statement. And to the threat of arson? ‘Stop being a crusader and move out of the area’ they suggested and made other insinuations that they had brought it on themselves. Then Muslims persecuting them set fire to the empty house next door, and the family barely escaped, walking out into the street choking, only to find their persecutors at the top of the street watching, jeering, waving and clinking glasses in celebration.

‘CONVERT OR DIE’ – CHILLING MESSAGE TO CHRISTIAN FAST FOOD SHOP OWNERS
‘Convert Or Die!’ / Syrian Academic Foundation
17 Oct 2015 by OLIVER LANE
A spate of Islamist graffiti in the multiculturalist Swedish city Gothenburg has been compared to the harassment of the Jewish community in Germany in the 1930s, with Christian business owners being told to “convert or die”.
The threats are yet another conflict imported to Europe from the Levant, as the Assyrian Christian Asmar family awoke to find their pizza parlour had been daubed with threats in red paint. Their experience is becoming increasingly common in the city, as legitimate asylum seekers fleeing persecution find it has followed them to Northern Europe, thanks to Sweden’s open door immigration policy.
The Goteborgs-Posten records the remarks of the local Assyrian association’s president: “Imagine yourself having fled from persecution in a country and then to find yourself staying next door to ISIS sympathizers here in Sweden. It is everyday life for many people”.
As well as the vandalism on the Asmar pizzeria, written in Swedish but unusually drawn out in a Gothic script, local Assyrian Christians have found the message “the Caliphate is here” and the Islamic glyph for ‘N’ (ن)written on their walls. In Syria and elsewhere in the Arab world, the ن has come to be a sign of persecution, marking inhabitants out as devotees of Nazareth – Jesus Christ – and thus fair targets for persecution.
Yusuf Asmar, who operates the pizzeria, compares their situation to that of the Jews in Nazi Germany. He said: “It feels extremely uncomfortable that this has come to Gothenburg, Sweden. There is no doubt that it is directed at me as a Christian and Assyrian… It feels like persecution of Jews in the 30s when Jews in Germany had Stars of David painted on its doors. Now it happens here”.
He said that under Swedish law, radical Islamists and ISIS supporters appeared free to come and go as they pleased, a situation “politicians must take seriously”.
Police inspector Bertil Claesson said that while they would look into the graffiti, it wouldn’t be classified as a hate crime – the city has yet to establish a specialist task force to look into such things – but it would be difficult to investigate. He said: “No witnesses or forensic evidence that can be traced, it is almost impossible to investigate such cases. The only possibility is if someone has seen something and we get tips from the public”.
This sort of inter-ethnic and religious conflict is becoming a steady hallmark of the European migrant crisis, as the continent imports wholesale human beings from destabilised parts of the world. Breitbart London reported in September on the grenade attacks now common in Sweden, where different migrant groups continue conflicts with explosives imported from Eastern Europe.
One such grenade attack against the offices of a local Kurdish people’s association came just hours after a violent confrontation in the centre of Malmo between Kurdish and Turkish immigrants, which had to be broken up by riot police.
Swedish officials except up to 150,000 migrants to arrive in the country by year’s end.

ISIS JIHADISTS SHAVE BEARDS, DRESS AS WOMEN TO FLEE TO WEST
17 Oct 2015 by THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D.
In the face of heavy Russian airstrikes, a number of ISIS militants have reportedly fled to Turkey from Syria by shaving off their beards and dressing as women to pass unnoticed.
Mounds of shaved facial hair have been discovered in Aleppo, Syria, along with discarded packets of Syrian razors.
A photo on Twitter posted by Iraqi journalist Hala Jaber shows huge piles of hair. The journalist tweeted that the ISIS fighters shaved off their beards so they could escape clean shaven to Turkey.
Let's shave…

According to members of anti-ISIS resistance, some newly-shaved Islamic State militants are donning women’s robes and veils to get away unnoticed.
Islamic State fighters all wear shaggy beards, and shaving or cutting facial hair is “haram” (forbidden) under Sharia law. Last April, ISIS overlords banned shaving among the male population of captive Mosul, citing Sharia precepts.
As more than 500 Russian army airstrikes have pounded the jihadi forces in Syria, Moscow security services contend that thousands of terrorists have abandoned their weapons and fled to Turkey, apparently en route to Europe as refugees.
According to senior Russian General Andrey Kartapolov, cases of desertion among the jihadists are no longer isolated, and the Islamists are now demoralized and fleeing “en masse.”
Moreover, as many as 3,000 UK nationals who headed to Syria and Iraq to join ISIS are feared to be on their way back home, reports claim.
In a September interview with BBC Radio, MI5 Director-General Andrew Parker said that the present terrorism situation is the “most serious threat Britain faces in security terms.” He noted that six alleged terror plots have been foiled in the past 12 months, which was the highest number he could recall in his 32-year career and “certainly the highest number since 9/11.”
“Most of the people who try to become involved in terrorism in this country are people who were born and brought up here, have come through our education system, and have nonetheless concluded that the country – their home country and the country of their birth – is their enemy,” he said.

THE HUMILIATION IS COMPLETE: ISIS FIGHTERS CUT OFF BEARDS AND RUN AWAY AS RUSSIA, IRAN CLOSE IN
Sunni extremists are now shaving off their beards and running for their lives
OCTOBER 17, 2015 by ZERO HEDGE
The thing about ragtag groups of militants that display a penchant for extreme violence is that in the absence of serious opposition, they can rack up gains at an alarming pace.
Of course there are plenty of (possibly credible) theories out there, which suggest that some of what you see in the videos released by ISIS is for show and we won’t endeavor to assess the degree to which the group’s brutality is real versus staged, but one thing is clear: regardless of who is funding, training, and/or supporting them, there are obviously fighters on the ground in the Mid-East waving the ISIS flag and committing atrocities in its name.
That works well when it comes to destabilizing fragile states that are already beset with sectarian bickering on the way to claiming large swaths of territory from a defenseless citizenry.
But you can’t intimidate a modern fighter jet by waving around a sword and if you’re a newbie on the Mid-East militant scene, you can’t scare a three decade veteran by beheading a couple of people, which is why if you’re ISIS, the combination of the Russian Air Force and Hezbollah ground troops is absolutely terrifying.
As we documented earlier today, Hezbollah and Iranian troops are advancing on Aleppo and Moscow is backing the offensive from the sky which means that the hodgepodge of anti-regime forces that control Syria’s largest city will almost (and we say “almost” because there are no sure things in war) certainly be routed in a matter of weeks if not days, which would effectively serve to restore the Assad regime in Syria.
After that, the Russian bear and Qasem Soleimani will turn their eyes to the East of the country and at that point, it is game over for ISIS.
Apparently all of the above isn’t completely lost on al-Nusra and Islamic State fighters because if you believe the Russian media (and we’re not saying you should), Sunni extremists are now shaving off their beards and running for their lives. Here’s Sputnik:
Hundreds of ISIL fighters are fleeing Syria for Turkey, as Russia’s Defense Ministry previously said, and reports are popping up that they are leaving their beards behind.
Now obviously, these are just pictures of hair on the ground with razors, so that shouldn’t be interpreted as anything that even approximates definitive evidence of a full-on ISIS retreat but put yourself in the following situation for a moment. You’re a Sunni extremist and your regional and Western backers have just abandoned you. You are now under siege by the Russian Air Force. If you survive the air strikes you will soon have to come face to face with the fiercest, most experienced Shiite militia on the planet and if you somehow manage to survive that, well then you have to fight the Quds Force (“how do you shoot the devil in the back“?).
What would you do?
* * *
We close with the perfect video clip analogy. The US is in the blue shirt, ISIS is in the red, star-spangled jumpsuit, and Russia, well… Russia is the bear.
US to ISIS: “No, no, you can’t quit now, we just started. You got to give these people a show man“…

MAN OPPOSED TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION STABS GERMAN POLITICIAN
Large number of Muslim migrants refuse to intergrate, hope to turn Germany into Islamic nation
OCTOBER 17, 2015 by KURT NIMMO
A leading mayoral candidate in the German city of Cologne was seriously injured on Saturday after she was attacked by a man opposed to illegal immigrants flooding into the country.
Henriette Reker was stabbed in the neck at a campaign stand. She is a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats.
A senior police investigator, Norbert Wagner, said the attacker “wanted to and did commit this act because of anti-foreigner motives.”
The 44-year-old German national and Cologne resident “made general statements” about Merkel’s policies on migrants, but did not specifically mention the Chancellor.
On Thursday Germany’s lower house of parliament, the Bundestag, formalized a policy designed to deal with the wave of illegal migrants.
The policy will reportedly speed up asylum procedures and make certain rejected applicants are returned to their home country.
The plan by federal and state governments also intends to provide migrants with better means to integrate into society, according to Deutsche Welle.
Studies Show Muslims Refuse to Integrate
In 2009 the Berlin Institute for Population and Development released the results of a survey showing that large numbers of immigrants — in particular, Muslim Turks — have not integrated into German society.
“Of all the immigrant groups in Germany, the southern Europeans from Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece, who made up the first wave of so-called ‘guest workers’ who came to Germany after World War II, have done best in terms of integrating themselves,” Der Spiegel reported.
A poll conducted in 2012 showed that 72% of the Turks in Germany believe Islam is the only true religion and 46% hope one day more Muslims will live in Germany than Christians.
Moreover, the poll revealed young Turkish migrants hold more radical Islamist views than their elders. It also showed distinct prejudice against atheists and Jews.

RUSSIA, IRAN BEGIN “PROMISED” ASSAULT ON SYRIA’S LARGEST CITY IN FINAL BID TO RESTORE ASSAD
The battle is also notable for the scale of Iran’s involvement
OCTOBER 17, 2015 by ZERO HEDGE
Earlier this week, we noted that Iran had reportedly sent “thousands” of troops to Syria in preparation for an offensive aimed at retaking the city of Aleppo.
With a population of more than 2 million, Aleppo was Syria’s largest city prior to the war and it’s now run by a hodgepodge of rebels and militants including al-Qaeda, the Free Syrian Army, and ISIS.
To get an idea of the effect the war has had on the city, have a look at the following before and after nighttime light emissions images:
The battle is also notable for the scale of Iran’s involvement. Between Hezbollah and Iranian forces, the battle for Aleppo is shaping up to be the largest ground operation orchestrated by Tehran to date.
Here’s more, via Reuters:
Syrian troops backed by Hezbollah and Iranian fighters launched an offensive south of Aleppo on Friday, expanding their counter-attack against rebels across western Syria with support from Russian air strikes.
Aleppo, a commercial and industrial hub near the border with Turkey, was Syria’s largest city before its four-year civil war, which grew out of protests against Assad’s rule.
Control of the city, still home to two million people, is divided between the government and rebels.
“This is the promised battle,” a senior government military source said of the offensive backed by hundreds of Hezbollah and Iranian forces which he said had made some gains on the ground.
It was the first time Iranian fighters had taken part on such a scale in the Syrian conflict, he said, although their numbers were modest compared to the army force. “The main core is the Syrian army,” the source said.
Hezbollah, which has supported Assad in several battles during the civil war, said the army was carrying out a “broad military operation” with support from Russian and Syrian jets. It made no mention of Hezbollah fighters in its brief statement.
Two senior regional sources told Reuters this week that Iran has sent thousands of troops to Syria to bolster an offensive underway in Hama province and ahead of the Aleppo attack.
And a bit more from AFP:
Russian air cover is backing offensives by Syria’s army and allied militias in the central provinces of Homs and Hama, as well as Aleppo in the north and Latakia along the coast.
On Friday, the Syrian army pushed south from the provincial capital Aleppo city, where control is divided between regime and rebels forces, as Russian air strikes pounded the villages of Al-Hader and Khan Tuman and nearby localities.
“The Syrian army started a new front on Friday and advanced to take control of the villages of Abteen and Kaddar” about 15 kilometres (12 miles) south of Aleppo city, said Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman.
He said “dozens” of Russian aerial attacks in the past 24 hours had struck the area, which is controlled by a patchwork of groups including rebels, Islamist fighters and Al-Qaeda’s Syria affiliate, Al-Nusra Front.
Note also that Aleppo is near the so-called “anti-ISIS” zone that the US and Turkey humorously proposed to create a few months back, which means that Iran, supported by Russian air power, is now conducting an all-out ground assault very near territory Turkey likes to think it effectively patrols (if not controls).
But the real key here, is this (again from Reuters): “The assault means the army is now pressing insurgents on several fronts near Syria’s main cities in the west, control of which would secure President Bashar al-Assad’s hold on power even if the east of the country is still held by Islamic State.”
In other words, if Iran and Russia manage to retake Aleppo (and you know they will because remember, thanks to Hezbollah, this isn’t a team that’s going to be confused by the vagaries of urban warfare), Assad’s rule is restored.
Just like that.
From there, the situation would morph and what you would have is a kind of Wild West scenario, only in Syria “West” would mean “East” and Assad, Russia, and Iran, having secured most of the critical cities and territory, would be free to simply mount up and push east on a kind of search and destroy mission.
So apparently, the US and its regional allies in Riyadh and Doha have a couple of weeks to figure out what to do here or else this is going to be over and suddenly, Washington will find itself in the awkward position of having to negotiate for a transition away from an Assad government that has been fully restored.
