Some survivors had bite marks, testimony to a desperate struggle onboard to escape death.

Maybe you should fight that hard in your home country to overturn the corrupt government that put you in such dire straights. Or is it easier to escape to the socialist nirvana that is Europe?

Islamic coast guard.

Life is tough. It is tougher when you are stupid.

Stay home, try to make something of your life there. Fight and work as hard to make things better there as you do to invade another country and mooch off of them and things just might work out for you.

Isn’t the Sicilian mob still alive and well there? Should be an interesting mix.

Spread the word that you should stay home. Italy already has too many immigrants, most of which are not mixing in.
The ride over sounds absolutely hellish. Think first before putting your life on the line going where you are presently not wanted.

Saudi Arabi owns enough uninhabited land to resolve this problem overnight. Their muslim background is more similar to the refugees. They will not have to destroy the natives’ lifestyle as in Germany and France, in order to create a place for their own. For some, not feeling the compulsion to kill those who are different would take all the fun out of the invasion.

Its a form of jihad. Its deliberate. They live off the people they are there to destroy. They think Allah is allowing it to happen.

Bodies of twenty-one women, but only one man? Not surprising. “Women and children first” is a western, Judeo-Christian construct.

Tent City in Mecca has enough air conditioned accommodation for a million or more moslems:

Standing empty most of the year. Why won't the arabs accommodate their fellow believers?

Look at all that underutilized living space! If the muslims were easier to get along with (I know), someone might ask China to set a few thousand up into one of those Ghost Towns where the construction is complete, but know one nearby can afford to live there. China has many uninhabited areas such as this. The original purpose being to put a few hundred men to work for a few months, so they don’t riot.
