Turkey: Gunman wounds one person at Swedish consulate in Izmir


AUG 3, 2023 3:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER

He suffers from “poor mental health,” and carried out this attack “over the rejection of his visa application,” but he just happened to strike at an honorary consulate of the country where there have been several recent desecrations of the Qur’an, and which jihad leaders the world over have said should be attacked. What a remarkable coincidence!




One wounded by gunman at Swedish consulate in Turkey


by Ezgi Akin, Al-Monitor, August 1, 2023

One person was seriously wounded when an armed man opened fire at Sweden’s honorary consulate in Turkey’s Aegean province of Izmir, local authorities announced on Tuesday….

The assailant was caught as he was fleeing the scene with the weapon, Turkey’s private Demiroren news agency reported.

It remains unclear how he made his way inside the consulate with a gun, but honorary consular offices do not enjoy the same level of protection the official consular offices have under the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.

The attack comes as a series of Quran-burning protests that took place in Sweden and Denmark over the past few weeks have drawn an outcry from Muslim-majority nations across the world. Yet the motives of the perpetrator were not immediately clear.

The official statement on Tuesday, which identified the suspect by his initials, Z.O., said he suffers from poor mental health.


According to unconfirmed reports, the assailant perpetrated the attack over the rejection of his visa application….




Germany’s generous welfare system ‘acts like an immigration magnet’


AUG 4, 2023 9:00 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER

The entire mass migration enterprise was sold to Europeans as a means of replacing an aging workforce, in light of the fact that Europeans weren’t reproducing. But European nations, willfully ignorant regarding Islam, brought in large numbers of people who believe it is the infidel’s duty to support the Muslims, a duty derived from the Qur’anic command that non-Muslims “pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (9:29).




Germany: Cost of foreign welfare payments soars to €15.4 billion a year

as foreign recipients double since 2010


by Thomas Brooke, Remix News, July 27, 2023:

The number of German recipients of welfare benefits has halved since 2010, while the number of foreign nationals receiving social assistance payments has doubled, government data has revealed.

The data emerged from a response by Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs Anette Kramme to a request made by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) MP René Springer.

It revealed that the number of German recipients of the citizens’ allowance had almost halved from 5.2 million in 2020 to 2.9 million as of February 2023. In contrast, foreign recipients of social benefits had doubled from 1.3 million people in 2010 to 2.6 million currently.

With spikes in the number of recipients experienced during the 2015 migrant crisis and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, it means the German taxpayer is paying around €15.4 billion each year in social benefits for foreign recipients, a 122 percent increase over the €6.9 billion reported in 2010.

Commenting on the figures, Springer called for “a restrictive immigration policy that effectively prevents immigration into our social systems. The citizens’ income introduced by the federal government, on the other hand, acts like an immigration magnet.”

Many of the foreign recipients of the citizens’ income are Ukrainian refugees, of which 707,000 claim the benefit. These are followed by almost 500,000 Syrians and 200,000 Turks. Around 176,000 Afghan nationals and 115,000 Iraqis also claim the benefit….

All war refugees from Ukraine belong in the asylum seeker benefits system, outside the citizen’s income category. In addition, it is imperative to switch the benefits for asylum seekers to a strict system of benefits in kind,” noted Springer.

This figure can be expected to rise further this year, with Germany anticipating a sharp rise in new arrivals by year-end. The spokesman for the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, Alexander Throm, recently told Bild that the country “expects up to 400,000 people by the end of the year, because the arrivals are usually highest in summer and autumn. And it takes a while for the migrants to travel from southern Europe to us.”
