Facilitating The Terrorist?

[-Talbot-]

I can't be the only poster wondering just how many terrorist have made it to Europe hiding amongst the refugess/migrants ... my question is

Should we carry on facilitating the terrorist?


I am paticulary interested in the views of posters who love to show Answerbank what fantastic humanitarians they are.
Have you humanitarians changed your mind and now think we should shut the stable door, or do you think the inevitable deaths of a few Europeans is a price worth paying in pursuit of your utopian ideology?

It's hardly utopian ideology to offer sanctuary to desperate people fleeing from all they know because of fear for their lives.

[Old_Geezer]

The humanitarian option was to help those in need where they were, in the refugee camps. And consider intervention in the troubles they fled from. That hasn't changed.

[Togo]

We learn nothing if we ignore history. Trojan horse remind you of anything recent?

[Prudie]

To assume they are all desperate people fleeing desperate lives is utopian.

[Noe-schitt]

Yes Old_Geezer totally agree it's rather like inviting the fox into the hen house today

[-Talbot-]

In offering sanctuary to refugess/migrants you are at the same time offering terrorist opportunity ... opportuninty they have gleefully taken.

[KARL]

By the same definition: In permitting travel you are offering terrorists an opportunity.

You surely know there is no comparison KARL?

Maybe the Schengen open boarder agreement needs to be changed.
Moving guns etc unhindered.

I think that view is too simplistic Talbot, what is to stop them travelling by normal scheduled transport, let alone all those that are citizens of the country the attacks happen in.
How do you intend to deal with the millions of misplaced people now in Europe

[Khandro]

A humanitarian I take to mean someone who shows concern for the welfare of humanity. As your post is addressed to us, can I take it you exclude yourself?

[Svejk]

We wouldn't have millions of 'misplaced persons' or gimmegrants, to give them their proper name, if it weren't for the handwringing, good for nothing neo-liberals and Marxists who have infested European politics for the last 30 years.
Once again, the left have been proven wrong. Once again, they can't accept it.

Rather confused when someone tries to move from a poor country to a richer country they are called economic migrants. But if a company moves from Britain to a poor country for economic reasons I.e lower wage bill it is just called business.

The odd one or two may get in but not in the hundreds like I have no doubt have entered incognito.

The refugees should have been kept nearer to home and given the financial aid needed to survive until they are able to return to their country.
Priority for a new life in Europe given to children left without any parents.

If to be a humanitarian you have to put the lives of your own people on the line to help others ... then I guess I am not a humanitarian, Khandro.

[Just-Jude]

Do you really think "terrorists" walk from Africa to Europe when they have all the documents and funds they need to fly first class?

Only right-wing nutters believe that!

Africa?

I must say that I am not surprised at the lack of Answerbankers nailing their colours to the mast.
At least Sandy turned up.

[Retrochic]

the first thing that should happen is all commercial flights in and out of Syria to the UK should be stopped. Then, if I was in charge, I would offer free one way flights from the UK to Syria, courtesy of the RAF, for anyone wishing to go.

Gavmacp : "Rather confused when someone tries to move from a poor country to a richer country they are called economic migrants. But if a company moves from Britain to a poor country for economic reasons I.e lower wage bill it is just called business."

Good point Gaymacp. Not likely to see that in ANY 'history' books.(nor discussed by the willfully blind or selectively deaf)

The "doors" you mention should never have been left unguarded, and were left unguarded for purely business reasons. £ $ €
