Illegal Muslim migrants from Africa have been steadily flowing into Italy. In early August, 11,000 migrants arrived in Italy in a single week. Over 130 of these migrants tested positive for coronavirus. In mid-August, migrants revolted aboard an Italian coronavirus quarantine ship. 350 migrants were transferred to the vessel from Lampedusa, and 12 tested positive for the virus. People smugglers from Turkey have also now started advertising fake cruises on Facebook, offering to ship migrants to Italy for $6500.
Menwhile, a group of evangelical Christians is helping to facilitate this ongoing violation of the rule of law. Its members likely have no understanding of either the stealth or the violent jihad; it is also clear that they have not considered that ongoing Christian persecution, Jew-hatred and efforts aimed to destroy Israel are rooted in a 1400-year-old supremacist doctrine that many of the migrants have deeply internalized and are bringing with them.
“Italian Evangelicals Call for Open Channels of Immigration into Europe,” by Thomas D Williams, Breitbart, August 31, 2020:
ROME — A prominent Protestant leader in Italy has called for streamlined channels of immigration from Africa into Europe after some 370 migrants arrived on the island of Lampedusa Saturday night.
Paolo Naso, coordinator of Mediterranean Hope, the migrant and refugee program of the Federation of Evangelical Churches in Italy, said Sunday that the current situation on Lampedusa is “undeniably unsustainable” both for migrants and residents, while calling for the immediate activation of “even temporary networks for the immediate reception of the most vulnerable subjects.”
“For our part, we are engaged in assisting the landings to help associations and institutions to manage the first moments of the arrivals of these people,” Mr. Naso said. “As Protestant churches we are ready to collaborate with institutions and other associations to seek solutions related to this emergency.”
“We are facing an emergency that was, however, entirely predictable, given the conditions in Tunisia and Libya,” he added.
Opposing efforts by Matteo Salvini’s Lega party to control immigration by securing ports and borders, Naso insisted that the only real solution is to open regular channels of legal immigration.
“We reiterate that the only strategy to combat ‘irregular’ migration is to open legal, safe channels, managed at the European level,” he said.
“In the meantime, our utmost solidarity with those who continue to save lives in the Mediterranean,” Naso said. “While others shout hateful words, which risk inciting violence, we choose acceptance.”
Naso also expressed his condolences for a young migrant who died during the crossing, whose body was brought to Lampedusa Saturday.
