Ten thousand Icelanders have offered to welcome Syrian refugees into their homes, as part of a Facebook campaign launched by a prominent author after the government said it would take in only a handful. After the Icelandic government announced last month that it would only accept 50 humanitarian refugees from Syria, Bryndis Bjorgvinsdottir encouraged fellow citizens to speak out in favour of those in need of asylum.
In the space of 24 hours, 10,000 Icelanders the countrys population is 300,000 took to Facebook to offer up their homes and urge their government to do more.

Wait till they receive ‘ em. The 180 % turn will break their neck after they realize the consequences of their actions.

I bet many of those Icelanders were typing from the comfort of their leather chairs at the WH

Actually, I wouldn’t have a problem with this. One condition. Ban Islam.
To: MinorityRepublican
I wonder how long their welcome will last. Are they willing to take in and provide food, shelter, clothing, and medical care fore a whole family for an undetermined length of time? I’ll bet once they figure out how much it will cost them, they change their minds.

Suicide of the West. It must be a brain infection of some sort.

This will not end well. It’s possible that some of them could be Christians, however.

Interesting as Iceland, a few centuries ago, was raided constantly every summer by mudslime sea rovers mostly from Salee in Morocco. The males were valued for their strength and could be used either a quarry laborers or many were already watermen so could be quickly broken to being galley slaves. The women were strong and blond and sold well to mudslime masters to furnish their harems.

It’s not like they’ll be able to just keep them as pets in the basement. The “guests” and their progeny will bring down the society writ large irreversibly — does anyone really think they’ll all be going back home?
To: Blood of Tyrants
Food is no problem. Once the Syrian refugees understand what Icelanders like to eat, they will self deport.

My thought exactly. Can't say I know much about Icelanders, but I think they're not going to know what hit them. Small, isolated, socialist winterland meets hardened Muslims.

“Fools”.
Yep.
I think they drink a whole lot in Iceland. That might explain it.

Hopefully the government there has enough sense to tell the 10,000 bozos, “You invited ‘em. They’re your responsibility. You take care of ‘em.”
