Isn’t it wonderful? Britain has flung open its doors to multitudes of poor, besieged refugees from all over our weary world. British taxpayers are happy — indeed, honored — to forego a few luxuries here and there in order to provide for these new arrivals, and to let them know that they have finally found a true place of refuge, a place where they can finally find rest, and see their travails as a thing of the past. And now two of these refugees, positively overflowing with gratitude for their gracious, unselfish and remarkably generous hosts, have found a novel way to express that gratitude.
GB News reported Friday that “two Iranians who arrived in Britain via small boat have been charged with plotting a terror attack in the UK.” Yes, that’s right: Iranians. Even as people in the Islamic Republic of Iran have been screaming “Death to Britain” on occasion in addition to “Death to America” and “Death to Israel,” the British government has steadfastly refused to put the interests or safety of its own citizens first, and has instead let Iranians come in along with all the other migrants, with nary a thought for the possibility that they may, just may, be hostile.
GB News says that “Salam Ahmadyan, 36, from Liverpool, and Rahman Salehi, 34, from Salford, were arrested in the Manchester area.” Ahmadyan and Salehi are “Iranian nationals who arrived via small boat in 2020 and 2023. One of those charged had been granted asylum, while the other has a live asylum claim.”
Nothing was said about the circumstances under which either of them claimed asylum, and that’s a shame. In 2020, while tensions were high between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the U.S. (as well as Israel) after the killing of jihad leader Qasem Soleimani, there was no open war. What exactly were either of these Iranians claiming to be seeking asylum from? Did they claim to be dissidents? Or persecuted minorities of some kind? Or did they know that British authorities would allow them in no matter what they said?
Whatever may have happened, now they are in hot water for plotting jihad massacres of Jews in their new homeland. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood declared: “These recent events are a stark reminder of the threats posed against this country from both terrorists and foreign state actors. Two suspects have been charged with planning a terrorist attack against Jewish communities in Manchester.”
Yet while speaking about the threats, Mahmood said nothing whatsoever about changing the British government’s policies regarding receiving boat migrants and giving them asylum. That only ensured that the threats she spoke about would continue.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Here is the dilemna: Humanitarianism is something that came out of the Christian womb; and remained a tenet of the post-“enlightenment” West.
Hence, all sorts of people have abused Western states’ weaving humanitarian concern into their laws.
The number of anti-Communist Chinese migrants to the Western world outnumbered the hairs of my head even when I was young and not yet balding. Yet, from the 1980’s on, we’ve seen a flow of people smuggled in from the Fuzhou area (Fuzhou is the capital of Fujian province). Many seek political asylum in the US after they land here. Yet, after they’ve been granted asylum, they support the Fuzhou-American Association, which is notoriously pro-Beijing, and probably had something to do with allowing Beijing’s security organs to set up shop in NYC’s Chinatown to spy on and intimidate people who legitimately have expressed a fear of persecution.
I was told that among my paternal ancestors in the USA, there were ‘Forty-eighters–people of liberal mindset who fled German-speaking Europe in the aftermath of the failed 1848 revolutions. Yet, it was European immigrants who also brought in socialist, anarchist, and communist ideals.
I have noticed people leaving Islam to join Christian churches. I understand that the now-persecuted Christian churches in Algeria stem from the work of some Guest Workers who beame Christians in Euopre, went back, and started Evangelical congregations of ex-Muslims. Were I still working in the official immigration apparatuses of the USA, I would probably see people wit a Christian confession coming from most of the core Islamic countries as people likely to have an asylum claim; or, if immigrating through ordinary family- or skills-based channels as likely to be grateful for resettlement. Yet not even the best screening system can see through to the deepest secrets of the human heart.

Yeah, that’s why you don’t let them in Very few countries anymore are unlivable and so very few so called refugees should be allowed. Let’s face it, the gangs coming ashore now are just freeloaders or Muslim colonizers

Evidently if you have a hangnail you qualify as a refugee in England
