"Culture of welcome" for refugees turns sour for Krauts

The flood of Muslim "refugees" which threatens to inundate Europe shows no signs of abating. One has to wonder what some European leaders -- hello Angela Merkel -- around the beginning of this month, when they opened the floodgates. Germany now looks on track to welcome over a million migrants this year, and the "Willkommenskultur" (culture of welcome) which Ms Merkel trumpeted is wearing a bit thin. In Germany, it seems, the milk of human kindness is starting to curdle.

One may ask why. [But does one have to ask? Ed.] Under the headline "Germany in a state of SIEGE", the UK's Daily Mail tells the story of one "refugee", Atif Zahoor by name, who wound up in the German university town of Giessen.

Mr. Giessen, his brother and his cousin, are Muslims. But they are not refugees fleeing religious persecution and/or civil war in Iraq or Syria or Yemen. No. They are from Pakistan, where they had good jobs. But they wanted to be Europeans, so, last July, seized the opportunity to slip into Germany, along with their wives [how many? Ed.] and children, using illegal documents.

"We paid a trafficking agent for false visas to fly here to Germany," Mr. Atif told the Daily Mail. "We claimed asylum and came to Giessen camp with other migrants. Three weeks ago, because we had families, they gave us a proper home." And a nice home it is, too. The three Pakistani Muslim families now live together in a five-bedroom house, courtesy of Chancellor Merkel and German taxpayers.

This week, Donald Tusk, President of the European Council, warned that millions more migrants are on their way and "the policy of open doors and windows" must be scrapped. British Prime Minister David Cameron said Europe must send failed asylum claimants back to their own countries. Walt says, good luck with that!

The same sentiment was voiced by the German deputy finance minister, Jens Spahn. "Not everyone can stay in Germany, or in Europe," said Herr Spahn. "If people are coming for poverty reasons...we have to send them back."

Walt asks how, exactly, the German and other European governments would do that. The USA has over 10,000,000 illegal migrants (at a conservative estimate) and even Donald Trump has to concede that, even if the political will to deport them was there [As if! Ed.], the cost would be staggering.

Meanwhile, back in das Vaterland, there is deepening disquiet. The German volk are starting to worry that their nominally Christian country, dotted with churches, is being overrun by people of a different religion and culture.

The Daily Mail reported on a letter written by social workers and women’s groups in Giessen to the state parliament, claiming that rape and child abuse were rife in the refugee camp. According to the letter, the camp is a dangerous melting-pot, where there have been "numerous rapes and sexual assaults, and forced prostitution." It goes on to say that there are even reports of children being raped and subjected to sexual assault.

Mr. Atif says the stories are true. "The camp is dangerous," he told the paper. "Men of different nationalities fight and women are attacked. Many women have felt the need to sleep in their clothes... They won’t go to the toilet at night because rapes and assaults have taken place on their way to, or from, there. Even in daylight, a walk through the camp is fraught with fear."

Many migrant women have fled here to escape forced marriages or female genital mutilation, which are rife in African and Middle Eastern countries where Islam is the religion and Sharia law the rule. "They believe they have found safety in Germany," says the letter, "and realize it’s not the case."

Why not? Why would these poor refugees, having found a safe haven at last, treat each other so? The letter suggests that in the migrants’ Muslim culture, women are viewed differently. "It is a fact that women and children are unprotected. This situation is opportune for those men who already regard women as their inferiors and treat unaccompanied women as 'fair game'."

If you ask the residents of Giessen, the problem goes way byond the allegations of rape and civil war in the refugee camps. Locals are also increasingly worried about the effect the "refugees" are having on their everyday lives. The migrants have taken over the town, some say.


The streets of Giessen, even of Berlin, are choked with "refugees" queuing up for housing, food and, errr, cash handouts. In spite of imposing "temporary" border controls earlier this month, Germany is still receiving asylum-seekers at the rate of 100 per hour. You can't miss the new arrivals, wandering the streets in large groups. At a supermarket a few hundred yards from the camp, a well-dressed German woman packing her shopping into a Mercedes rolls her eyes at me as a group of Middle Eastern youths walk by. "What do we do?" she asks. "It has happened now and it will never be the same again."

Indeed it won't. The doors of Germany are open, and can never be closed again. Back to Giessen for words from other Pakistani "refugees". A former student named Janaid Jamshad told the Daily Mail reporter, "When I lost my job, I set out with six friends. There is every nation in the camp — a lot from Pakistan, like me. I chose Germany because they want us here."

Another, identified only as "Ali", said, "I came to Germany first in 2013 and they pushed me out again.... I came back when I heard Mrs Merkel was opening the doors. I have claimed asylum and they are processing my application. Because I am young, I hope they will take me." But, he goes on, "The camp is overflowing.... I have just been to the doctor in the shopping centre because I have a headache. Even there, there are queues of migrants waiting. The doctors at the camp will only give one pill at a time."

Last word to goes to Mr. Atif. "We think having children will help us," he says. "Our house is very big, and they give us money, too. My children deserve a better life than in Pakistan. They will grow up happy in Germany."

Germans... Europeans... this is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. When you tire of living in the Caliphate of Europe, perhaps you can get on a boat and come to North America. IF, that is, we have not ourselves been overrun because of the wussy, politically correct immigration policies of our leaders.

Footnote: The French, being smarter than the Germans, or perhaps suffering less from a national guilt complex, have been considerably less welcoming than the people on the wrong side of the Rhine. See "'Willkommenskultur' in Germany, 'non merci' in France"

Perhaps the French have belatedly remembered the counsel of Charles De Gaulle, who, more than half a century ago, warned against the Islamization of his country. See "Charles De Gaulle warns about Muslim immigration" (WWW 25/8/12)
