“Louras made no apologies for excluding the public from the planning. If the proposal had been floated earlier, the mayor said, the debate would have become ‘about them’ — meaning the Syrians, their culture, and possible links to terrorism — instead of whether the city had the means to accommodate the refugees.”
Yes, and we can’t possibly have a public discussion about whether the migrants have possible links to terrorism. That would be “Islamophobic.”
“’The benefits, economically and culturally, that we will recognize is exactly what the community needs at this time,’ said Louras, the grandson of a Greek immigrant who fled the Ottoman Turks a century ago.” It has almost certainly not entered Louras’ mind that any of the people he is bringing to his town might share the world view and aspirations and goals of those who drove his grandparents out of Ottoman Turkey. Inconceivable!
Meanwhile, back in the real world, Ahmad al-Mohammed and one other of the jihadis who murdered 130 people in Paris in November 2015 had just entered Europe as refugees.
In February 2015, the Islamic State boasted it would soon flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees. And the Lebanese Education Minister said in September 2015 that there were 20,000 jihadis among the refugees in camps in his country. Meanwhile, 80% of migrants who have come to Europe claiming to be fleeing the war in Syria aren’t really from Syria at all.
So why are they claiming to be Syrian and streaming into Europe, and now the U.S. as well? An Islamic State operative gave the answer when he boasted in September 2015, shortly after the migrant influx began, that among the flood of refugees, 4,000 Islamic State jihadis had already entered Europe. He explained their purpose: “It’s our dream that there should be a caliphate not only in Syria but in all the world, and we will have it soon, inshallah.” These Muslims were going to Europe in the service of that caliphate: “They are going like refugees,” he said, but they were going with the plan of sowing blood and mayhem on European streets. As he told this to journalists, he smiled and said, “Just wait.”
Will they be waiting in Rutland?
Get ready for that town to roll over to mussie culture.
“And I, for one, welcome our new Muslim overlords.”
’The benefits, economically and culturally, that we will recognize
And just what benefits are those?
O.K. I’ll avoid Rutland.
I lived in NH near Vermont and spent some time in VT for weekends and dated 2 women from there, good state, maybe I should visit again sooner than later if $hit were to hit the fan.

Well Mr Mayor we can certainly have a public debate about you losing your job.
Obama is a Muslim version of Johnny Appleseed spreading his people all over the US.
And another 100 in Chappaqua, NY, down the road from Hillary?
Rutland already has problems. This will make it just that much worse.
Charles Osgood on CBS radio this morning had a commentary on how wonderful it is to have 5,000 Somali refugees in Lewiston, Maine (population 36,000).
The high school soccer team has gotten really good!
He spins hard for the money.
i understand they’re very good skiers.
I laugh at this town’s idiocy. Good luck, you fools.
You really didn’t think that slimeball Schumlin would leave the state house without back dooring a refugee deal with his butt buddy Obama, did you?
Well then I would assume that Charles lives in Lewiston.
Just tell the women there to “Relax and enjoy it.”
What kind of problems? I haven’t been to Rutland (or any other place in VT) in many years.
