More borders slam shut, Terror attacks in Israel, threats to the West, it must be Wednesday: Links 1 on March 9 -2016

1. Migrant crisis: Slovenia moves to ‘shut down’ Balkans route

Slovenia has introduced new border restrictions for migrants as part of efforts to close the Balkans route from Greece to Western Europe.

Only migrants who plan to seek asylum in the country, or those with clear humanitarian needs will be allowed entry.

In reaction, Serbia said it would close its borders with Macedonia and Bulgaria to those without valid documents.

The future of the EU’s passport-free Schengen zone is already in doubt.

Eight of its members, including Austria, Hungary and Slovakia, have tightened border controls, leaving thousands of migrants stranded in Greece.

3. Islamic State group ‘may be plotting huge attacks’ in UK

(weird headline. We KNOW they are plotting huge attacks. Its about if they can pull them off)

Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said there was evidence IS was “trying to build bigger attacks” globally, and the UK was among its targets.

He said IS had expanded its ambitions from smaller-scale targets to attacks on “Western lifestyle”.

However, he would not be drawn on any specific plans or operations.

Several attacks, including last year’s gun and bomb attacks in Paris, were inspired by IS, also known as Daesh.

8. Islam-critical French play is huge hit in Hamburg

Stage adaptations of French author Michel Houellebecq’s novel “Submission”, in which a Muslim president takes power in 2022 France, have been a hit in Germany after a huge Mideast refugee influx has stoked fears of the impact of Islamic culture.

The first German theatre version sold out in the northern city of Hamburg, while in Dresden, birthplace of the Islamophobic PEGIDA street movement, a play premiered last weekend, with a third adaptation planned for Berlin in late April.

“It seems like it’s a very timely story because everybody, each in their own way, picks up on a point of the topic that concerns them,” actor Edgar Selge, who plays the central character Francois in Hamburg’s Deutsches Schauspielhaus theatre, told AFP.

  1. 6 – The ladies are splendid, they don’t need ‘Day Of The Woman’. Their faces open and lovely, their manner direct. Breaks your heart to think of them in mortal jeopardy.

    • They are old enough to remember when all Western Europeans had true freedom.

  2. 3. Islamic State group ‘may be plotting huge attacks’ in UK

    I wonder when it’s going to occur to the idiots we call “leaders” that ISIS cannot attack us if all their members and leaders are dead. And to hell with Guantanamo Bay. ISIS members should be interrogated and then hanged for crimes against humanity because they have offended humanity by the things they have done to their fellow humans. They need to be publicly executed for the love of mankind.

    Dealing with ISIS is like seeing a cobra go down your basement stairs: You can’t just yawn and say, “Well, off to bed. We’ll see to it in the morning.” No matter how scary it might be, you have to kill the cobra before you do anything else because the damn thing will turn up and kill you if you don’t. They need to get serious and hang the ISIS lads and keep hanging them by the thousand until the idea of running away and joining the Jihad stops seeming like a good idea to young Muslims from around the world. Guantanamo Bay… Hah! They need to waterboard them and then execute them until they either give up and surrender or they are are all dead and buried – their choice…

    And don’t even bother with the Geneva Convention. These guys are so far away from the Geneva Convention that it isn’t funny. Just take a look at a few of their “slick” videos and damage your soul a little bit. Once you’ve done that, you will understand what essential evil is. The world needs to put their backs into it for a change and make these evil monsters go away…

    • The left has spent decades indoctrinating people that your ideas are bad. Look at the way they are still pushing a peace treaty as the solution to the violence in the Mid East. This attitude is what caused WWII and it is what is going to make WWIII so much bloodier and longer then WWII.

      General MacArthur said “In war there is no substitute for victory” the West has spent all of the time since the end of WWII seeking a substitute and failing to find one. One of the signs of this search is how the Western Nations all have Defense Departments. Defense Departments loose wars, War Departments win wars.

  3. I don’t understand why standing behind Tania Groth, holding one side of the banner, is a woman wearing Islamic dress – ankle length coat and headscarf. It seems incongruous given Tania’s speech about the need to support moslem women to break out from their oppressive culture.
