Thousands of mostly Rohingya Muslims fleeing persecution in Myanmar and others escaping poverty in Bangladesh are stranded on boats as governments in the region seek to prevent them from landing, despite a request by the United Nations to rescue them

And few countries now want to let them in.
However, they are bringing Islam with them. People I know in Thailand are concerned about this. The big Muslin countries don’t want them but are they making them colonists?
Is it me, or does it look like the Muslims have figured out a new way to invade other sovereign countries?
The sea-borne invaders in the Mediterranean are mostly Muslim, too. (The Christians get thrown overboard and drowned...)
Obummer does!!
As in the Mediterranean with Libyan and Syrian refugees - the countries of Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia are doing it the wrong way. They need to GO TO THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM ... the Human Traffickers and stop them.
There are known coastal areas of Myanmar and Bangladesh where these Human Traffickers operate. The BBC only in the last few days aired the details, The Traffickers use small boats go to the shore - and entice people to come — telling total lies about the outcome of the bright future — and charge $1,800 each ... SO this is not a case where people cannot stay and live — they just want the big lie. Then the people are taken by the small boats to bigger boats offshore ... then taken to the coast of Thailand or Malaysia or even Indonesia. There the Traffickers demand phone numbers of relatives of the ‘refugees’ — the Traffickers call the relatives and demand ransom. Some few are returned it the ransom is paid. The rest of the ‘refugees’ are stripped of all money and possessions... then the crew most often abandons ship leaving the people stranded. The BBC has some of the phone numbers of the Traffickers - the relatives handed the numbers to the field reporters. I would think a sting operation could be set up.
The countries of Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia just need to form a naval task force of relatively small ships — and patrol closer in to the Myanmar and Bangladesh coasts — stop these boats large and small — Same as is done to counter Somali Pirates by other countries. These boats and ships should be forcefully boarded and if found to be Traffickers by evidence found on board or if the boats are holding ‘refugees’. Then these Traffickers should be arrested and taken and held for trail. The boats should be used to transfer any ‘refugees’ back to the coasts of Myanmar and Bangladesh and dropped off with medicine and food/water supplies at some coastal village or port.
The captured boats and ships should be scuttled - sink them — keep doing it until there are no more boats for the traffickers to use.
The entire coastal areas of Bangladesh and Myanmar should be bombarded with LEAFLET DROPS of hundreds of thousands of leaflets in all applicable languages telling the TRUTH of what is going to happen to them if they go with the Traffickers - held for ransom, robbed - some of the women likely raped, and left in a boat floating on the sea with no power - no crew - no food - no water and that the countries of Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia are just going to send them back anyway.
NONE OF THIS IS DONE NOW.... only misguided efforts to resettle people in a foreign country that they are not compatible with - at great cost to all. Misguided Compassion is almost as bad as the traffickers - allowing people to believe that if they can last it out they will be given permission to stay in another country ... Strip that dream from them and they will find a way to make a life where they originated...
These so called ‘refugees’ need to be educated — you can’t go there - not allowed to make a life there.
This should be done in the Mediterranean too ... The whole Continent of Africa - 30 or more countries and ‘refugees’ can’t go there — they just CANNOT GO THERE... I say total B.S.
Countries having no backbone are causing great economic and social problems for the PEOPLE of the receiving countries ... The politicians of those countries do not have to live the the problems that they create — they are isolated in their walled communities using the ‘refugees’ for gardeners and maids.... while the producers and taxpayers pay for the lack of Backbone in their so called leaders.
Compassion is a never ending trap — never ending — there will always be another boat load — there is a point when NO - no you cannot come here must be communicated - effectively as I describe above.
Has there ever been a global entity less useful than the U. N. during peacetime?
Nations face their own problems. Forcing hundreds of thousands of boat people off on them isn’t reasoned.
If the U. N. wanted to do something productive, it would address conditions that make these people flee.
In some instance, the U. N.’s own policies cause bad situation.
The U. N. needs to go.
The UN during war time?
LOL
The reason I wrote it that was is because it could easily be argued that during war time, NAZI Germany was worse.
I know the U. N., like Carter, tries to be worse, but once in a while a NAZI Germany or a Barack Obama will come along.
Thailand should say “Renounce Islam and become followers of Buddhism or get lost”....
Them boats blow up real good.
Sinking the incoming boats handles the problem with no mess ashore.
Send them to Mecca.
“This book is so politically incorrect that I admire Amazon.com for actually carrying it. Written in the early 1970s, this book looks beyond the cold war to a North-South confrontation in which European civilization is unilaterally morally disarmed. The thesis is simple: suppose a million starving people from the Ganges actually took Western rhetoric of compassion, explotiation, etc., to heart, and comandeered, en masse, shipping, with the intention of moving to the shores of France? (Raspail, of course, is French.) Would anyone stop them?”
Well worth reading.
LOL is right! He’s got you there! Perfect.
THE BIG LIE ... “Thousands of mostly Rohingya Muslims fleeing persecution in Myanmar and others escaping poverty in Bangladesh”
Recent BBC coverage shows that the main incentive for these people is to go to a perceived paradise ... milk and honey ... persecution is way down the list.
They are paying $1,800 USD to get on the boats — enough to start a small business in their HOME COUNTRY.
The Human Traffickers tell a tale of Paradise ... they are not political refugees.
