Surprise! After secret talks, tiny Vermont town gets 100 Muslim migrants
Jihad Watch ^ | May 13, 2016 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 05/13/2016 9:10:29 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

“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?

All I can think of when reading about the government officials who allowed this is the baptism scene in The Godfather. Is something wrong with me?

Forgive me if experiences in Germany and now here, that there is a conspiracy to keep Muslims out of liberal fiefdoms (the big cities) and punish the conservative centers (small towns). Just seems to cynical that big city liberals are behind the push but not willing to personally feel the results in their neighborhoods.

Gerbilism professional Robert Spencer refers to the third largest city in Vermont as a “tiny town..”

I lived in Burlington about 35 years ago. It was pretty mellow and a college town. Us townies were partiers but nothing major.
Rutland has always been a little more scary.

"...I laugh at this town’s idiocy. Good luck, you fools...

One would imagine the "town" did not know anything about this sneaky plan by liberal local politicians.

Not to mention many Muslim families will have 7-8 kids without even the slightest concern of how they will make ends meet.

Though Burlington is maybe 33k.Rutland
is something like 18k.State capitol Montpelier
maybe 14k.

I do stay in Rutland on quick getaways
but more often go from there to Middlebury,
lakes, Bennington, and other areas.

It is true heroin etc is getting
rampant in Rutland.It’s not just appearing in
those (often-)Vermont set Archer Mayor
murder mysteries.

Good. You will soon be finding out how civilized, kind, cultured and tolerant they are. You deserve what’s going to happen.

“Are they going to build a mosque for them too?”
_____________

The answer will be “yes”, and it will be funded by the Saudis.

While heads should roll over this secret decision by the city, it may take a while, but it will be the heads of innocent Americans on the chopping block.
This is madness.

Um.... There were some people who saw the San Bernardino terrorists planning, getting huge suspicious packages, strange visitors all night... No isn’t say anything for fear they would be called racist. And they would have been.

Killington Ski Area will have a fresh meaning when the next new resident detonates himself/herself on a crowded holiday ski weekend.

Maybe they can be put to use triggering avalanches?

Apparently Bernie Sanders & the Leftist ice cream vendors are not the only examples that Vermont has changed since the days of its heroic "Green Mountain Boys."

It is not alone in undergoing cultural deterioration; but that does not mean that cultural morphing in an incongruous direction is a good thing.

It is time that we had a very comprehensive debate about immigration--not one controlled by the PC bullies: One in which Americans who want to preserve the culture that made all the good things possible, have their say. And that means to end the pretense that people are interchangeable.

See An American Immigration Policy.

The famous Rutland annual Halloween Parade will never be the same.



How dare they place Hawkman and Green Arrow on the lead float and relegate Captain Marvel to the second float!

Somebody check His Honor, Mayor Louras bank account and see if there has been a substantial monetary increase.
