Letting in the wrong refugees

Fresh terror busts in Australia expose a common
Achilles’ heel of the West: Indiscriminate refugee
policies turn free countries into breeding grounds
for jihad. It’s the same game in America. Soldiers
of Islam have weaponized our blind generosity
against us.
In Sydney this week, authorities detained a
half-dozen Muslim plotters and arrested a top
collaborator in an alleged conspiracy to
kidnap and behead a random Australian citizen.
The accused mastermind? Afghan refugee turned Aussie
Islamic State recruiter
Mohammad Ali Baryalei. He and his aristocratic
family were welcomed Down Under decades ago.
Baryalei returned the favor by taking to the streets
of Sydney to
recruit and radicalize dozens of fellow Muslim
immigrants or their children.
Baryalei’s minions include Australian jihadist
Khaled Sharrouf, the homicidal son of Lebanese
immigrants. Sharrouf is now based in Syria, where he
infamously tweeted a photo of his elementary
school-age son brandishing a severed human head.
The Sydney Beheading Bust comes on the heels of a
separate outbreak of violence by Afghan refugees
aligned with the terror group Hezbollah. In late
August, Aussie police broke up a bloody riot
involving members of the “420 gang” — Muslim teenage
boys and young men who post sword-wielding,
AK-47-toting selfies on social media. The
self-described “Shia soldiers” quote Hezbollah
militant imam Hassan Nasrallah online, while
wreaking havoc in Sydney slums offline.
International “human rights” wags have attacked
Australian officials for trying to crack down on
unfettered immigration from terror-sponsoring
states. Now, many of those ungrateful imports are
crying “Islamophobia” as law enforcement authorities
try to stop the head-choppers from spilling blood on
their soil.
Australia, we feel your pain. America’s unselective
and desultory asylum and refugee policies have also
enabled jihadists of all stripes and blades to
recruit, convert, plot, pillage, rape and kill.
In our heartland, Minneapolis has become “Little
Mogadishu” — a haven for Somali refugees targeted by
Islamic supremacists. It’s a deadly two-way street.
As former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy noted
in “The Grand Jihad,” “We not only import Somali
aliens, including their ‘traditional leaders.’ We
also send back aspiring Islamist militants,
including suicide bombers. Since 2006, the FBI has
detected that many Somalis are returning to fight on
behalf of al-Shabaab, and more are launched from
Minneapolis than from any other U.S. haven.”
But instead of slowing down refugee admissions from
terror-sponsoring and terror-supporting states, the
Obama administration has jacked them up. Instead of
increasing our scrutiny of asylum and refugee
seekers who admit to providing “limited material
support” to terrorists, the Obama administration has
created more loopholes for them.
Last fall, FBI agents admitted that several dozen
suspected terrorist bomb-builders may have
mistakenly been allowed to move to the United States
as war refugees from Iraq. These include two
al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI) jihadists who were resettled
as refugees in Bowling Green, Ky. — and then later
admitted in court that they had attacked U.S.
soldiers in Iraq, according to ABC News.
In Colorado Springs, a gang of Iraqi Muslim refugees
monstrously raped and brutalized a woman — after
being welcomed here with open arms and, in at least
one case, receiving praise and help from U.S.
soldiers.
These thugs join a growing litany of asylees and
refugees gone wild in America, including:
–The vengeful Tsarnaev family of Boston Marathon
brothers and their jobless, mooching sisters.
–Ramzi Yousef, who faked an asylum claim to plot the
1993 World Trade Center bombing.
–Gazi Ibrahim Abu Mezer, a Palestinian bomb-builder
who entered the U.S. illegally through Canada and
claimed political asylum based on phony persecution
by Israelis.
–Palestinian jihadist Mir Aimal Kansi, convicted in
1997 of capital murder for the January 1993 shooting
spree outside CIA headquarters in McLean, Va.,
claimed bogus political asylum based on his ethnic
minority status in Pakistan.
–Somali national Nuradin Abdi, the al-Qaida shopping
mall bomb plotter convicted in 2007, first entered
the U.S. in 1995 using a false passport, entered
again illegally from Canada in 1997, and then
secured asylum on false grounds. He fraudulently
obtained a refugee travel document, which he then
used to fly to Ethiopia and, yes, Chechnya for jihad
training.
–Convicted Fort Dix (N.J.) jihad plotters and ethnic
Albanian illegal alien brothers Dritan, Shain and
Eljvir Duka, who snuck into the country through
Mexico with their parents, who applied for asylum in
1984.
Meanwhile, countless Christians, Jews and other victims of Islamic persecution remain outcast and abandoned around the world. Ain’t diversity and assimilation grand?
