Exporting Islam Through Islamist Dysfunction - Jihad

"The Greek worries are our worries."
"This border is not only a Greek border but it is also a European border and I stand here today as a European at your side... We have come here today to send a very clear statement of European solidarity and support to Greece..."
"I am fully committed to mobilizing all the necessary operational support to the Greek authorities."
"Our first priority is to ensure order is maintained at the Greek external border, which is also a European border."

"This is no longer a refugee problem."
"This is a blatant attempt by Turkey to use desperate people to promote its geopolitical agenda and to divert attention from the horrible situation in Syria."
Prime Minister Mitsotakis

The European Union will most certainly not approve of Greece's latest desperate moves to try to prevent more migrants and refugees from entering its besieged and vulnerable-to-entry islands as both migrants and refugees, intent on reaching Europe and defying all attempts to keep them out; they just keep arriving, demanding entry. Though Europe is trembling at the very thought of yet another invasion after that of five years earlier when it was overwhelmed by clamouring, demanding migrants, and it has promised to provide Greece with assistance, there is just so much money can do, and no more.

Shots were fired toward a refugee-bearing boat in the Aegean. Turkey's gambit to blackmail Europe into coming to its side with its 'argument' with Russia over Syria's military advance in Irbil when it has its own designs on the border corridor to resettle Syrian Sunnis crowded in refugee camps in Turkey has failed to produce the results he insists Europe owes Turkey. Recep Tayyip Erdogan's formula for attention-getting is to revert to his previous extortion of Europe, blaming it for not fulfilling its obligations in supplying Turkey with financing in support of the 3.7 million Syrians in its camps.

Greek islanders are protesting and clashing with mainland authorities over plans to construct new camps to hold additional migrants to be transferred from Athens and area back to the islands. Islanders are refusing to accept any more of the migrants who have been disrupting the idyllic life enjoyed by a sovereign nation up to the time that Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad decided to retake Syrian geography from the Sunni Syrian rebels who contest his brutal rule. The millions of internally displaced and those leaving Syria's borders have created desperation and grief.

With Iran, its surrogate military Hezbollah and Russia all supporting the regime in its relentless bombing of rebel-held territory, the ancient land and its heritage sites and landscapes have been razed, history obliterated, and people's lives demolished in an unending struggle for existence. Turkey's alliance with Russia has unraveled as Turkey and Syria have succumbed to a war footing creating a situation where a NATO member country could call on others like the U.S. to counter threats.

A situation where theoretically, Russia and the U.S. could come to active combat unleashing a far wider conflict. That the U.S. under Donald Trump's presidency has failed to shed itself of the imaginary connection with Turkey is bewildering, but there will be no U.S. response to Turkey's call as it risks its alliance with Russia over the situation in Syria. Malevolently, Erdogan seeks to punish Europe for not responding to his demand for support, opening the floodgates of a refugee/migrant invasion.

Going so far as to broadcast its intention to the refugee camps, encouraging migrants to leave and continue on their way to Europe, to the extent of providing transportation to make their journey more accommodating, by land or by sea, in the process delighting the smugglers who once again see the vast financial opportunities given to them.

In response to Ankara's encouragement of asylum seekers Greece in desperation is threatening to use all restraining means to keep the migrants from reaching its shores, the "hundreds of thousands [that] have crossed, [but] soon it will reach millions", according to Erdogan.

This Islamic invasion, the end result of Islamist sectarian, tribal and ethnic dysfunction. It is as though Islam has by its very nature conspired unconsciously to ensure that within Muslim nations life becomes so fraught with misery and violence, ordinary people born into the religion, accustomed to its control of every facet of their lives, of being persecuted, manipulated and their human rights violated from birth to death, have been forced by circumstances to flee the nations they were born to, and take Islam with them as a heritage trophy to non-Muslim parts of the world.

Bringing the house of 'peace' to the broader house of 'war', the lens through which Islam recognizes all non-Muslim parts of the world.
