Europe wants to deport Afghan migrants, but Kabul is reluctant to accept them

KABUL — When Ahmad Ghyasi fled Afghanistan for Germany last fall, he left with a stack of papers he was sure would help his case for asylum.

He had evidence he was a Taliban target and references from the U.S. military. But German authorities made it clear, Ghyasi said, that it was unlikely they would ever grant him asylum. And now Ghyasi, a longtime interpreter for U.S. forces, is back in Afghanistan after just three months abroad.

Today, German and Afghan officials are negotiating an agreement that could see thousands of Afghans return to the country on either chartered or commercial flights from across Europe over the next few months. Germany wants to begin sending Afghans back immediately, officials here say. The Afghan government has insisted Germany provide Afghanistan with more economic aid to absorb the influx.

Personally I have a problem with this.
In this case I think we have a moral obligation to help them out.

I think they are Afghan citizens and belong in Afghanistan.

A blockbuster and totally politically INCORRECT essay on islam by a former prosecutor who tried the leader of the first attack on the WTC and the disturbing education he received on the true nature of islam.
I could have written this one but my only revision would be that he called it a “religion”. It is anything but!
If you want to understand islam, PLEASE read it! THEN SHARE!!

Riiiiiight. Afghanistan wants money from Germany to take care of Afghans. Quite the scam. Ship your people to some other nation and then demand cash to take them back. Sounds like national blackmail.

Say what?! They just came from there, what's the difference if they're now back?

We have an all volunteer military but should the other nation we are “helping” be forced to have a draft?

“Europe wants to deport Afghan migrants, but Kabul is reluctant to accept them”

Issue each of them a parachute and airdrop them.

If someone ships you a package and you refuse it, can the sender honestly be said to be “reluctant to accept” it back?

Clearly, refugees living under Sharia law need to be housed in such a land. If the West had any cojones they would call various wealthy Muslim states out on their very poor Brotherhood to their fellow Muslims and outright say “Our cultures are too different. We do NOT respect Sharia law. These poor refugees need a place where they can feel at home.”

But we are all so scared of being called racists.
Which is stupid.
Because we are always being called racists anyway.

For this individual, I think we do have an obligation to protect him. Simply because he put his life on the line by working as an interpreter for the US military.

He could easily be put into a position here in the states where he performs much of the same work, either with a private sector company or with a government entity. And doing so would fulfill part of the American commitment to fairness - if you ask people to risk it all, you don't abandon them to their fate afterward.

However, I must also state categorically that only individuals such as this should receive case-by-case consideration.
