State Department Bringing in 7000 Muslims to USA

[DeanWormer]

This is one weird story. The US State Department doesn't believe America has enough Muslims so they're bringing in 7000 new ones from Russia! And get this--these people get free housing, free food and free pensions--and guess who's gonna pay for all of this--YOU and me!

Now why does the US government want to bring in 7000 Muslims when we already have 2 million here already and scores of them have been arrested for terrorism?

I think I know, but I'd like to hear from some of you first.

KRASNODAR, Russia, July 24, (IslamOnline.net) - The United States has agreed to grant citizenship to 7,000 Ahiska Muslims who will be settled in Pennsylvania, reported a Russian newspaper on Friday, July 23.
The first 11-strong batch of the Ahiska Muslims, living in the Russian province of Krasnodar, left for Geneva on Thursday, July 22, before flying to Philadelphia, reported Novie Izvestia.
It added that the Muslims would be housed near the grand mosque in Philadelphia.
The paper recalled that Krasnodar governor Alexander Tkachev was notified of the American decision on February 15.

Izvestia

said the Russian government does not treat Ahiska Muslims as citizens and has not therefore given them passports or IDs.
An official in Krasnodar administration had told Interfax on Tuesday, July 20, that of the 11,999 Ahiska Muslims living in the region, 4,943 have received Russian citizenship and 744 have embarked on Russian naturalization procedures.
He added that more than 5,000 others have expressed a desire to emigrate to the United States.

Earlier, Chingiz Neiman-zade, chairman of Vatan, a Meskheti Turks association based in Georgia, said the United States had offered to accept the Ahiska Muslims living in Krasnodar as immigrants.

"On February 16, the International Migration Organization began an information program in Krasnodar to explain the terms for the resettlement of the Ahiska Muslims in the U.S.," he told Chicago Tribuneon Thursday, July 22.
"The immigrants will be provided with housing and furniture, they will be helped to learn the English language and to complete formalities needed for residence in the US, which is especially important, and have been promised life-long welfare allowances for pensioners and the disabled."

Happiness

Ahiska Muslims were happy with the American offer.
"This decision marks a great change in our life", said Tepeshon Swanidze, leader of the Ahiska Muslim community in Russia.
"We thank the US administration for its humanitarian decision", he added.

Ahiska Muslims , originally hailing from Anatolia, were exiled from their homeland after Russia seized the region of Ahiska following its 1828-1829 war with the Ottoman Empire.

Many Ahiska Muslims were forced to seek refugee in Erzurum in eastern Turkey after being persecuted by the Russian Cesar for supporting the Ottoman Empire.
Facing a similar fate under the notorious Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, Ahiska Muslims fled to Uzbekistan in 1944.
One year later, they went to Azerbaijan where they currently reside.

Turkish and Azeri parliamentarians had recently appealed for an international intervention to pressure the Georgian government into allowing the return of Ahiska Muslims.

Ahiska became part of Georgia in 1918.

Do you have a link? I'd like to see where you got this from. It sounds like complete bullshit, and if it's true, then it's just another corrupt government movement.

[AimedForDeath]

Here's the link: http://www.islamonline.net/English/News/2004-07/24/article04.shtml

I found the link on worldnetdaily.com if any of you want to verify it for yourselves.

If you read the story and know your history, you'll understand that these particular Muslims (or their grandparents) were on the side of the Ottoman Empire as recently as 1917 which should be a red flag for all who cherish freedom.

The Turks (Ottoman Empire) were aligned with Germany during WWI and the Ottoman Empire murdered over 1,000,000 Armenians in the war, and they controlled the entire Middle East. The Turks were brutal to non-Muslims in this region and either forced people to become Muslims or slaughtered them. (I don't know about any of you but I don't want to live under any yoke that restricts my freedoms or tells me who to bow to.)

The Brits and the US finally whipped the Germans and the Turks in 1917 but the Germans would bring a new world war in just 22 years and the Muslims would be on the side of Hitler uring WWII.

Makes me think of some articles I've read comparing Bush's actions to things that Hitler did before WWII

[DeanWormer]

You're right FlowerChild. Bush has even stated that things would be better "as long as I'm the dictator." (Find the quote on prisonplanet.com)

And he means it.

Did you knw that Halliburton just received a $300 million contract to build 'detainment camps' in the USA?
