The Norwegian government has sent a stern warning to Afghan asylum seekers coming across the border from Russia: You could get a one-way ticket to Kabul.

What if they throw their papers away? Didn’t think about that, did you Anders? Damn! Outwitted again!
For you youngsters, during the Cold War the communists despised the West while their citizens loved blue jeans, fast food and rock & roll.
Today, the Islamacists express their contempt for our decadence while muslims themselves are beating down our doors to try and get to the West.
Islam is toast, they just don’t know it yet .
