Poughkeepsie: Church World Service official spins
about refugee Islamic terrorists, by Ann Corcoran 11/12/16
We
told you on October
28th that Church
World Service is
planning to bring refugees, mostly from Syria and the Middle East, to
Poughkeepsie, NY, and the plans were kept secret from the city elected
officials and the public in general until very recently. The arrival of the
first Syrians is apparently only a month or so away. Erol Kekic, Director
Immigration and Refugee Program Church World Service
Because most
citizens don’t fully understand how costly resettlement is and they don’t know
(because all mainstream media is silent) how disruptive to the social make-up
of communities large numbers of refugees have been, they don’t know enough to
ask enough good questions so they naturally focus first and foremost on the
security issue. They want to know if Islamic terrorists could be hiding among them?
Refugee
industry spokesmen are quick to make a joke, asking why would a terrorist want
to go through such a lengthy process to get here, when they can simply fly in
or walk across the border (a question which invariably brings laughs in the
audience).
One thing we
never hear about outside of certain circles is the fact that some Muslim refugee children in
America have grown up to be jihadists—-dozens of them from the Somali
community in Minnesota, for example, have thumbed their noses at your good will
and left for battle in Africa or the Middle East. Others have tried to show
their jihadist ‘skills’ here.
Read about the Poughkeepsie meeting and pay
close attention to how an official of Church World Service attempts to answer
security concerns.
From the Times-Herald
Record: Former
refugee Erol Kekic, executive director of the Immigration and Refugee Program,
told attendees that refugees are vetted vigorously, especially those from
Syria. “We have
not had one single refugee commit an act of terrorism,” Kekic said to a large
round of applause.
Mohamed Mohamud
a Somali refugee who came to the US as a child is serving a 30 year sentence
for planning to blow up a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland, OR. https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2014/10/01/portland-or-somali-christmas-tree-bomber-to-be-sentenced-today/
Apparently no
one in the audience was knowledgeable enough to ask the follow-up question: How many refugees
have been arrested and convicted of planning terrorist attacks—arrested before
they could commit the act? The answer is a
larger number than we should find acceptable!
Off the top of
my head: There were the Iraqis men arrested in Kentucky in 2011 who were working with Al
Qaeda in Iraq (doing life in prison now). ABC
News did cover this story! Indeed the whole
Iraqi flow to America was disrupted for a year or so in the wake of that
revelation and all Iraqis on the way in were re-screened. Then here are some of
the kids you welcomed: There was the Somali Christmas tree bomber sentenced in 2014.
Most recently
there was the Iraqi refugee who admitted to planning an ISIS bombing in
Houston, here. And, we can’t forget an ISIS
sympathizer (Somali refugee) who was successful in attacking and wounding
shoppers in a mall in St. Cloud, MN, here.
Although they
have never admitted it (to my knowledge), I believe the Chattanooga killer’s
family was a resettled refugee family, see
here. There are
others, visit our crimes category here with over 2,000 refugee crimes and
terror attacks/attack planning from all over the world.
I know many of
you will cite the Boston Bombers. Yes, they were ‘refugees’ who entered the US
with their parents who were granted political asylum (which made them refugees).
Kekic would argue that they don’t count because they didn’t come through the
UN/US State Department Refugee Admissions Program run by contractors like
Church World Service.
Be sure to
revisit my post of last week on Church World Service’s finances.
Poor Mr. Kekic is not being paid very well (he doesn’t make the top employees’
list on their recent Form 990) compared to other top execs of the organization.
What’s up with that, he has been around for a long time—almost 17 years
according to LinkedIn.
