Saudis Spreading Radical Ideology, Causing Mass Murder, Destroying States: Ex-Iraqi Defense Minister

The 2003 invasion of Iraq is widely considered to have been a mistake, even by many policy makers in the US. But despite that recognition, the lesson was not learned and the pattern of catastrophic interventions in the region continued in subsequent years. How can the international community tackle the product of that chaos - the Islamic State, and could an all-encompassing regional agreement bring stability to the troubled region? Oksana is joined by Dr Ali Allawi, an Iraqi Cabinet Minister from 2003 to 2006, to analyse these issues.

David Cameron rattrapé par son passé sulfureux

LE MATIN: «#PIGGATE» — Une biographie affirme que l'ancien étudiant aurait mis son sexe dans la bouche d'un cochon mort.

Drogue, bizutage à connotation sexuelle et nuits de débauche: une biographie non autorisée à paraître en octobre accuse le Premier ministre conservateur David Cameron d'avoir commis des excès lors de ses années étudiantes à Oxford.

Publiés lundi par le Daily Mail, les premiers extraits du livre du milliardaire Lord Ashcroft, ancien vice-président du Parti conservateur, ont rapidement enflammé les réseaux sociaux avec l'apparition du hash-tag #Piggate ou scandale du cochon.

Syrie : Poutine a rencontré Netanyahu à Moscou

LE POINT: Le Premier ministre israélien a notamment prévenu qu'il était déterminé à mettre fin aux livraisons d'armes au Hezbollah par la Syrie et l'Iran.

Le président Vladimir Poutine a rencontré lundi à Moscou le Premier ministre israélien Benjamin Netanyahu pour discuter du conflit en Syrie alors que la Russie est accusée par Washington d'y renforcer sa présence militaire. « Il était très important de venir ici en vue de clarifier notre politique, et faire en sorte qu'il n'y ait aucun malentendu entre nos forces », a déclaré Benjamin Netanyahu au début de la rencontre, selon un communiqué de son bureau. Le Premier ministre israélien a également prévenu qu'il était déterminé à mettre fin aux livraisons d'armes au Hezbollah par la Syrie et l'Iran, et accusé les deux pays de vouloir « ouvrir un second front » contre Israël.

« La politique russe au Proche-Orient sera toujours réfléchie », a pour sa part assuré le président russe, affirmant que la Syrie ne voulait pas s'attaquer à Israël, selon des images de la télévision russe. « Nous savons et nous comprenons que l'armée syrienne et la Syrie en général sont dans un tel état qu'elles ne peuvent ouvrir un second front. La Syrie essaie seulement de préserver son indépendance », a affirmé Vladimir Poutine. Le service de presse de Benjamin Netanyahu a affirmé qu'il était venu en Russie pour discuter des « forces militaires russes en Syrie » et pour « exposer les menaces pesant sur Israël à la suite du renforcement militaire sur la scène syrienne et de la fourniture d'armement au Hezbollah et à d'autres organisations terroristes ». » | Source AFP | lundi 21 septembre 2015

Migrants: la Hongrie envoie l'armée contre les migrants

L’EXPRESS: Budapest vient d'adopter une loi qui durcit les moyens employés pour stopper les migrants: elle autorise les forces de l'ordre à tirer contre eux avec des balles en caoutchouc ou des grenades lacrymogènes.

Budapest franchit encore un pas pour bloquer la route aux candidats à l'asile en Europe. Le parlement hongrois a adopté ce lundi une nouvelle législation qui autorise l'armée à faire usage, dans certaines circonstances, d'armes non létales.

Despite Backlash, Ben Carson Is Not Backing Down from His Opposition to a Muslim President

THE WASHINGTON POST: On Sunday, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said he would not support a Muslim president.

It was only a matter of hours before others were clamoring to say that they would not support a presidential candidate who wouldn’t support a Muslim president.

Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) said that Carson should apologize to American Muslims. Ted Cruz reminded Carson that “the Constitution specifies there shall be no religious test for public office.” John Kasich said the most important qualifications to be president were unrelated to religion. Bernie Sanders was “disappointed” in Carson’s statement and Keith Ellison, the country’s first Muslim member of congress, issued a statement condemning Carson and Donald Trump, whose past comments about Islam prompted Carson’s anti-Muslim-president assertion in the first place.

“For Ben Carson, Donald Trump, or any other Republican politician to suggest that someone of any faith is unfit for office is out of touch with who we are as a people,” he wrote. “It’s unimaginable that the leading GOP presidential candidates are resorting to fear mongering to benefit their campaigns, and every American should be disturbed that these national figures are engaging in and tolerating blatant acts of religious bigotry.”

Meanwhile, the Council on American-Islamic Relations called on Carson to withdraw from the race.

“It’s beyond the pale,” CAIR spokesperson Ibrahim Hooper told NBC.

But for the most part, Carson is standing by his comments — when asked by NBC’s Chuck Todd whether he thought Islam is consistent with the Constitution, he responded, “No I don’t. I do not. I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that.” » | Sarah Kaplan | Monday, September 21, 2015

Fury after Saudi Arabia 'Chosen to Head Key UN Human Rights Panel'

THE INDEPENDENT: Wife of imprisoned blogger Raif Badawi says move amounts to "a green light to flog him"

The United Nations has been criticised for handing Saudi Arabia a key human rights role - despite the country having “arguably the worst record in the world” on freedoms for women, minorities and dissidents.

Critics, including the wife of imprisoned pro-democracy blogger Raif Badawi – sentenced to 1,000 lashes for blogging about free speech – labelled the appointment “scandalous”, saying it meant “oil trumps human rights”.

Mr Badawi’s wife, Ensaf Haidar, who is leading an international campaign to free her husband, said on Facebook that handing the role to Faisal bin Hassan Trad, Saudi Arabia’s ambassador at the UN in Geneva, was effectively “a green light to start flogging [him] again”.

UN Watch, an independent campaigning NGO, revealed Mr Trad, Saudi Arabia’s ambassador at the UN in Geneva, was elected as chair of a panel of independent experts on the UN Human Rights Council. » | Tom Brooks-Pollock | Sunday, September 20, 2015

Republican Candidate Carson Says Muslims Unfit to Be U.S. President

U.S. Republican candidate Dr. Ben Carson speaks during the
Heritage Action for America presidential candidate forum
in Greenville, South Carolina September 18, 2015.

REUTERS.COM: Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on Sunday said Muslims were unfit to be president of the United States, arguing their faith was inconsistent with American principles.

"I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that," Carson told NBC's "Meet the Press."

The remarks by Carson, who is near the top of opinion polls for the crowded field of Republican candidates, followed a controversy that erupted when front-runner Donald Trump declined to challenge anti-Muslim comments made by a supporter on Friday.

Carson, a Christian who says he got a core idea for his tax proposals from the Bible, said he thought a U.S. president's faith should be "consistent with the Constitution."

Franklin Graham Condemns Obama's Guest List for Papal Welcome as 'Sinful'

CHRISTIAN POST: White House Invitation to Transgender Activists, Gay Bishop, Abortion Supporter Irks Vatican

Evangelist Franklin Graham has called President Obama's guest list for Pope Francis' welcome this week "disgraceful and obviously inappropriate," even as the Vatican has reportedly objected to the White House's invitation to transgender activists, an openly gay bishop and supporters of abortion and euthanasia.

The guest list for a planned event at the White House's South Lawn to welcome the pope on his first full day in the U.S. on Wednesday includes Sister Simone Campbell, executive director of Network, a "Catholic social justice lobby" which allegedly supports abortion and euthanasia; Bishop Gene Robinson, former Episcopal bishop of New Hampshire who is the first openly gay Episcopal bishop in the country; Mateo Williamson, a former co-head of the transgender caucus of Dignity USA; and also activists from the LGBT group GLAAD.

"This is disgraceful and obviously inappropriate," Graham wrote on his Facebook page Saturday. "Is there no end to the lengths the president will go to in order to push his sinful agenda?"

Graham, who leads the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said it is wise of the Vatican to "question President Obama's guest list" and that the list of guests "should raise a lot of eyebrows."

Immigration: Hungary Will Not Be Forced to Change Its Cultural and Ethnic Composition, PM Orbán Tells Envoys

HUNGARY TODAY: Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said his request to migrants not to come to Europe through Hungary was “for moral reasons” because he could not take responsibility for what might happen to them along the way.

Addressing a meeting of Hungary’s foreign mission leaders yesterday morning, Mr. Orbán said that people who had already made it to Turkey, Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary and Austria are already safe, so they are not running for safety. They have actually “set their eyes on life in Germany”, he added. The Prime Minister said that in 90 per cent of European Union member states, the opinion of the people and “political elite” are diverged. In Hungary, however, points of agreement have been formed between the people and the government thanks to national consultations, which anchor government operations in a democratic way, he said, adding thereby the government is sticking to its asylum policy. “A country without borders is not a country,” he told the envoys. And this is also true if those borders are unprotected, he added. The EU was right to make borders between member states fade into insignificance, but Hungary also has external borders to protect, under a legal obligation in the Schengen Agreement, the prime minister noted. Hungary has built a barrier in order to keep to Schengen rules, and while there is no guarantee that this will suffice, it must try all it can to protect the external borders, he said. » | via hungarymatters.hu and MTI | Tuesday, September 8, 2015

Adam Topolansky: ”Useful Idiots” of the West and the Creation of Chaos through Mass Migration

HUNGARY TODAY: Western ideologues’ demagoguery regarding the European immigration crisis is rehashing an old phrase: „useful idiots of the West”. This phrase was originally coined by Vladimir Iljich Lenin who allegedly referred to Westerners who unintentionally contributed to the demise of their own civilization through their self-defeating guilt complexes and false reflex machanisms, thereby promoting the cause of internationalism, i.e. socialism and communism. Lenin and Stalin used the term “polyezniy idiot” or “useful idiot” to describe sympathizers in the West who blindly supported Communist leaders.

A New York Times article from 1948, on contemporary Italian politics, documented usage of the term in an article from the social-democratic Italian paper L’Umanita. The French equivalent, “idiots utiles”, was used in a newspaper article title in 1946. A similar term, useful innocents, appears in Austrian-American economist Ludwig von Mises‘s “Planned Chaos” (1947). A 2010 BBC radio documentary titled Useful Idiots listed among “useful idiots” of Joseph Stalin several prominent British writers including H. G. Wells and Doris Lessing, the Irish writer George Bernard Shaw, the American journalist Walter Duranty, and the singer Paul Robeson.

One thing is for certain, these „useful idiots of the West” are once again at their “best” during the European immigration crisis. Their guilt trip and false reasoning are fast chipping away at western civilization. They are typically driven by pathological altruism, believing that they know best how to run the lives of all people throughout the world. » | Adam Topolansky | Wednesday, September 9, 2015

Christians 'Martyred for Beliefs Every FIVE MINUTES by Islamic State and Other Terrorists'

SUNDAY EXPRESS: CHRISTIANS are being martyred for their faith every five minutes by barbaric Islamic State militants and other terror groups, a shocking new report has claimed.

Believers are often singled out, tortured and faced with the brutal choice of converting to Islam or being slaughtered, according to Christian Freedom International.

Those who refuse to comply have reportedly had their limbs cut off or have been crucified.

Research by CFI found that more than 200 million followers are facing persecution in 105 countries making Christianity the most at-risk faith group in the world.

More Christians have been martyred in the 20th and 21st centuries than during the previous 19 combined, the organisation has claimed.

The human rights group's president Jim Jacobson said: “Islamic State Militants in Iraq are using Christian churches as torture chambers where they force Christians to either convert to Islam or die.

“Islamic State militants are also stripping the former places of Christian worship of ancient relics which in turn are smuggled to Western collectors to help fund their terrorist activities." » | Scott Campbell | Sunday, September 20, 2015

Munich Fears Migrants and Beer Hunters May Not Mix Well at Oktoberfest

THE GUARDIAN: Officials keen to keep revellers away from Muslim refugees ‘who are not used to very drunk people in public’, but festival organisers say it’s an overreaction

Pedro Feiten, a Brazilian, is celebrating Oktoberfest and immigration in Munich this year, raising a glass to the difficult journeys that took his ancestors away from Germany nearly two centuries ago and are bringing others to the country today.

“Our relatives were fleeing war when they left Germany. The people coming here now are like we were then,” said Feiten, heading off in traditional Lederhosen bought especially for the beer-drinking festival, which starts on Saturday.

But not everyone in Munich thinks the city’s twin influx of tourists and refugees is so compatible. Many of the region’s top politicians have been worrying publicly about whether they can cope when the annual Oktoberfest kicks off in a city that has become one of the focal points of Europe’s migration crisis.

Tens of thousands of refugees have flooded into Munich since the start of the month when Angela Merkel effectively declared Germany’s borders open, sometimes more than 10,000 arriving in a single day on trains and buses. Mixing that pace of new arrivals with up to 6 million beer-drinking revellers who usually descend on the Bavarian capital for two weeks of festivities could cause tensions, regional interior minister Joachim Herrmann warned. » | Emma Graham-Harrison in Munich | Friday, September 18, 2015

Prime Minister and Wilders Clash over Refugees

DUTCH NEWS: Prime minister Mark Rutte launched a strong attack on PVV leader Geert Wilders during the second day of debate on the government’s 2016 spending plans.

During his speech on Wednesday, Wilders had used phrases such as ‘Islamic asylum tsunami’ and described refugees as ‘testosterone bombs’ who ‘threaten our girls’. Rutte said on Thursday such terminology is ‘terrible’ and failed to make any contribution to finding a solution.

While agreeing with Wilders that some councils had not properly consulted their residents about the arrival of refugee centres, the prime minister said he had ‘very great faith’ in the Dutch people. They understand there is no simple answer to this complex problem, Rutte said.

‘We have to be fair to voters,’ Rutte said. ‘This is a complicated issue and there is no simple solution… and Wilders knows that more than anyone.’ » | Thursday, September 17, 2015

US-Russia Military Talks on Syria as Kremlin Says It 'Will Consider Sending Troops to Help Assad'

Vladimir Putin warned earlier this week that Isil's influence
has spread "far beyond" the borders of Iraq and Syria, but
that it is as yet "too early" to talk about air strikes in support
of Assad against Isil

THE TELEGRAPH: Kremlin gives clearest indications to date that troop deployments in Syria to help regime fight Islamic State jihadists may be imminent.

US and Russian defence chiefs spoke for the first time in over a year on Friday, breaking their silence to discuss the crisis in Syrian as Moscow's increasing military buildup raised the prospect of coordination between the former Cold War foes.

The Pentagon said the call lasted about 50 minutes and included an agreement for further US-Russian talks about ways to keep their respective militaries out of each other's way.

Washington last year cut off high-level military talks with Moscow after Russia's annexation of Crimea and intervention in Ukraine.

But Russia's military buildup in Syria has raised the possibility of simultaneous US and Russian air combat missions in Syrian airspace.

A US officials said Friday that Russia has recently deployed four fighter jets to Latakia airbase in Syria where it has been building up forces in recent weeks.

The talks came as Russia said it will consider any request from the embattled Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad to send its troops to fight Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

With concerns already growing over Russia’s military presence in war-torn Syria, the comments are one of the clearest indications to date that troop deployments in Syria may be imminent. » | Howard Amos, Moscow | Friday, September 18, 2015

EU Should 'Undermine National Homogeneity' Says UN Migration Chief

BBC: The EU should "do its best to undermine" the "homogeneity" of its member states, the UN's special representative for migration has said.

Peter Sutherland told peers the future prosperity of many EU states depended on them becoming multicultural.

He also suggested the UK government's immigration policy had no basis in international law.

He was being quizzed by the Lords EU home affairs sub-committee which is investigating global migration.

Mr Sutherland, who is non-executive chairman of Goldman Sachs International and a former chairman of oil giant BP, heads the Global Forum on Migration and Development, which brings together representatives of 160 nations to share policy ideas.

He told the House of Lords committee migration was a "crucial dynamic for economic growth" in some EU nations "however difficult it may be to explain this to the citizens of those states".

'More open'

An ageing or declining native population in countries like Germany or southern EU states was the "key argument and, I hesitate to the use word because people have attacked it, for the development of multicultural states", he added.

"It's impossible to consider that the degree of homogeneity which is implied by the other argument can survive because states have to become more open states, in terms of the people who inhabit them. Just as the United Kingdom has demonstrated."

The UN special representative on migration was also quizzed about what the EU should do about evidence from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) that employment rates among migrants were higher in the US and Australia than EU countries.

He told the committee: "The United States, or Australia and New Zealand, are migrant societies and therefore they accommodate more readily those from other backgrounds than we do ourselves, who still nurse a sense of our homogeneity and difference from others.

"And that's precisely what the European Union, in my view, should be doing its best to undermine." » | Brian Wheeler, Political reporter, BBC News | Thursday, June 21, 2012

35 MILLION Migrants Heading to Europe, Says Hungary as It Builds Second Fence

Migrants seen rioting at the Serbia/Hungary border this week

EXPRESS: SHOCK estimates predict up to 35 MILLION refugees could head for Europe due to hugely unstable situations across the world.

The huge figure was revealed today by Hungary's minister for foreign affairs and trade Peter Szijjártó.

Speaking as the country begins work on its second fence to stop migrants heading across its border he predicted the current crisis will continue for years.

Mr Szijjártó told the Hungarian Times: "The name of the fence is 'Temporary Security Border Fence' but I think there is no question that in this case temporary means years.

"It's a self delusion to call this situation a migration crisis; it is a massive migration of nations, with inexhaustible reserves.

"I don't think that the analysis results, stating that 30-35 million people out there could possibly become migrants, would be an exaggeration.

"Libya, Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan are all countries with a huge population and an extremely unstable situation." » | Rob Virtue and Agnes Kegl | Friday, September 18, 2015

Comment Munich s’apprête à gérer sa Fête de la bière et l’arrivée de migrants

LE MONDE: En plein afflux de réfugiés en Bavière, la ville de Munich s’apprête à accueillir dès samedi 19 septembre et jusqu’au 4 octobre 6 millions de visiteurs pour sa traditionnelle Fête de la bière.

Le premier ministre croate, Zoran Milanovic, a annoncé, vendredi 18 septembre, que son pays n’enregistrerait plus de nouveaux arrivants et que les migrants ne seraient plus hébergés.

« La Hongrie a verrouillé sa frontière avec du fil barbelé, ce n’est pas une solution, mais la solution n’est pas non plus que ces gens restent en Croatie », a lancé M. Milanovic. La Croatie s’était imposée comme la nouvelle route pour gagner l’Europe occidentale depuis le verrouillage de la frontière serbo-hongroise. Dans un premier temps, les autorités croates avaient laissé le passage libre aux hommes, femmes et enfants qui entraient dans son territoire pour gagner l’Europe de l’Ouest. » | Le Monde.fr avec AFP, AP et Reuters | vendredi 18 septembre 2015

Tsipras schwört Anhänger auf Wahlsieg ein

Tsipras gibt sich optimistisch: Bein seinem letzten grossen Auftritt
vor der Wahl am Sonntag schickt er eine "Nachricht des Sieges".

NEUE LUZERNER ZEITUNG: GRIECHENLAND ⋅ Umfragen sagen bei der Parlamentswahl in Griechenland am Sonntag ein Kopf-an-Kopf-Rennen voraus. Ex-Regierungschef Alexis Tsipras hat sich zum Wahlkampfabschluss überzeugt vom Triumph seiner Links-Partei Syriza gezeigt.

"Die heutige Versammlung schickt eine Nachricht des Sieges", sagte Tsipras am Freitagabend bei einer Rede auf dem zentralen Platz vor dem Parlament in Athen. Griechenland ziehe "einen Schlussstrich unter das Kapitel des alten (korrupten) Systems".

Er werde sein Land in den kommenden Jahren verändern und wolle weiter hart kämpfen für ein Griechenland der Solidarität, sagte Tsipras. "Manche glaubten, sie könnten uns leicht los werden. Sie irren sich." Die konservativen Kräfte hätten sich verkalkuliert. "Wir werden ein starkes Mandat am Sonntag bekommen."

Zusammen mit der spanischen, britischen und portugiesischen Linken wolle er für mehr Solidarität in Europa kämpfen, sagte Tsipras weiter. Einen Grexit - einen Austritt Griechenland aus der Eurozone - werde es nicht geben, auch wenn einige dies wünschten. » | sda/dpa/reu | Freitag, 18. September 2015

Japan setzt auf neue Militärdoktrin

Grosserfolg für Premierminister Abe: Er hat sein Prestigeprojekt
durch das Parlament gebracht, allen Widerständen zum Trotz.

NEUE LUZERNER ZEITUNG: JAPAN ⋅ Das japanische Parlament hat nach hitzigen Debatten die umstrittene Reform der Verteidigungspolitik verabschiedet, mit der erstmals seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg Soldaten zu Kampfeinsätzen ins Ausland entsandt werden könnten.

Die neue Militärdoktrin wurde am frühen Samstag (Ortszeit) vom Oberhaus in Tokio angenommen. Gegen die Reform hatte es viel Widerstand in der Bevölkerung gegeben. Nach Ansicht von Kritikern gibt Japan damit die pazifistische Grundausrichtung des Staats auf. » | sda/afp | Freitag, 18. September 2015

Croatia 'Will Not Become a Migrant Hotspot' Says Prime Minister

THE GUARDIAN: Zoran Milanović says refugees will be given food and shelter before being moved on, as country closes road border crossings with Serbia

Croatia can no longer carry the burden of the thousands of refugees and migrants who have entered in recent days, its prime minister has said, as he announced a new policy of moving people on, instead of registering and accommodating them in accordance with EU rules.

More than 13,000 people have entered Croatia from Serbia since Wednesday, following the closure of Hungary’s Serbian border. Croatia has closed seven of its eight road border crossings with Serbia, though people are continuing to enter through the countryside.

Zoran Milanović, the Croatian PM, told a news conference: “We cannot register and accommodate these people any longer. They will get food, water and medical help, and then they can move on. The European Union must know that Croatia will not become a migrant hotspot.”

In an echo of the language adopted by David Cameron earlier this month, he added: “We have hearts, but we also have heads.” » | Matthew Weaver and agencies | Friday, September 18, 2015

Former Nobel Official: Obama Prize Failed to Achieve Goals

President Obama receiving his prize in 2009

YNET NEWS: Breaking with official tradition, the former secretary of the Nobel Peace Prize says Obama failed to live up to the panel's expectations.

In a break with Nobel tradition, the former secretary of the Nobel Peace Prize committee says the 2009 award to President Barack Obama failed to live up to the panel's expectations.

Geir Lundestad writes in a book released on Thursday that the committee had expected the prize to deliver a boost to Obama. Instead the award was met with fierce criticism in the US, where many argued Obama had not been president long enough to have an impact worthy of the Nobel.

"Even many of Obama's supporters believed that the prize was a mistake," Lundestad wrote in excerpts of the book read by The Associated Press. "In that sense the committee didn't achieve what it had hoped for." » | AP | Friday, September 19, 2015

Comment Daesh utilise la crise des réfugiés pour sa propagande

LE POINT: Après avoir récupéré la photo du petit Aylan, le groupe djihadiste multiplie les vidéos pour dissuader les départs de Syriens et d'Irakiens vers l'Europe.

La cellule de propagande de l'organisation djihadiste État islamique sait s'inspirer de l'actualité. Pour mettre en garde ceux qui essaient de fuir vers l'Europe, l'EI a d'abord utilisé l'image du corps du petit Aylan Kurdi, trois ans, photographié sur une plage de Bodrum en Turquie après le naufrage du bateau qui devait le conduire avec sa famille en Grèce.

Elle vient de publier une dizaine de vidéos utilisant l'image des migrants pour « dénoncer l'émigration vers l'Occident, et notamment la France », affirme le spécialiste des réseaux djihadistes David Thomson sur Twitter. Des djihadistes de l'organisation y témoignent, mettant en garde contre un départ vers l'Europe : « En Europe, vous allez vers un mirage. L'Europe ne vous accordera ni la sécurité, ni la fierté, ni le confort. Vous allez dormir dans des parcs. Vous allez vider les poubelles des mécréants. Vous faites la plus grande erreur de votre vie en quittant la Syrie ou l'Irak pour l'Europe »... » | Par Le Point.fr (avec AFP) | Publié : jeudi 10 septembre 2015 / modifié : vendredi 18 september 2015

Ein Land zäunt sich ein

SÜDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG: Erst Serbien, jetzt auch Rumänien und Kroatien: Ungarns Regierung sucht ihr Heil in der Flüchtlingskrise, indem sie immer mehr Grenzzäune bauen lässt.

Nachdem die ungarische Regierung in der Nacht zum Dienstag den Grenzzaun an der serbischen Grenze vollendet und alle Grenzübergänge nach Serbien für 30 Tage geschlossen hat, soll es nun weitere Zäune geben.

Premier Viktor Orbán bestätigte am Mittwoch ein Gerücht, das seit Tagen in Budapest die Runde gemacht hatte: dass Ungarn nun auch einen Zaun zu Kroatien plane; die Änderung der Routen, welche die Flüchtlinge nach der Schließung der Grenze zu Serbien nähmen, erzwinge eine solche Maßnahme. Es sei offensichtlich, dass der Weg nun nicht mehr über die ungarisch-serbische Grenze verlaufe. "Sie werden anderswo hingehen. Deswegen haben wir uns entschlossen, auch an der Grenze zu Rumänien einen Zaun zu bauen. Wir werden auch an bestimmten Stellen der kroatischen Grenze einen Zaun aufstellen. Es gibt bereits Pläne dafür." » | Von Cathrin Kahlweit | Freitag, 18. September 2015

Ich bin Angela Merkel, ich darf das

DIE WELT: Energiewende, Euro-Krise, Flüchtlingsdrama: Kanzlerin Merkel entscheidet einsam und handelt spontan. Sie ruiniert damit den europäischen Zusammenhalt und zeigt die Arroganz deutscher Vormachtstellung.

Angela Merkels Wende in der Flüchtlingsfrage wird nur diejenigen überrascht haben, die diese Meisterin der Wendigkeit nicht kennen. Tatsächlich sind Inkonsequenz und Unberechenbarkeit die einzigen Konstanten in ihrer Karriere.

"Die unglaubliche Frau Merkel" – so überschrieb das französische Magazin "Le Point" diese Woche einen Essay über die Kanzlerin. Doch im Adjektiv "incroyable" – unglaublich – schwingt auch die Unglaubwürdigkeit mit.

Nun gehört Wendigkeit zum Anforderungsprofil eines Politikers. "Ich muss ihnen folgen, ich bin ihr Führer" – so rechtfertigte der Meister des Opportunismus, Alexandre-Auguste Ledru-Rollin, eine seiner Volten. Wenn aber aus Anschmiegsamkeit Beliebigkeit wird, wenn – wie bei Merkel – beim beständigen Hü und Hott Gesetze, Verträge und Absprachen wie lästiges Gestrüpp beiseitegeschoben werden, dann wird Prinzipienlosigkeit zur Gefahr.

Als Merkel ankündigte, alle Flüchtlinge in Deutschland willkommen zu heißen, schob sie einfach die Bestimmungen des Dublin-Vertrags beiseite, auf dessen Verabschiedung gerade Deutschland gedrungen hatte. Als sie wenige Tage darauf angesichts der Flüchtlingsflut eine Kehrtwende vollzog und Deutschlands Grenzen dicht machte, verletzte sie, wenn nicht den Buchstaben, so doch den Geist des Schengen-Vertrags über die Freizügigkeit in Europa.

In beiden Fällen stieß sie die europäischen Partner vor den Kopf. "Ich darf das, ich bin Europas Zahlmeisterin" – so scheint Merkel zu denken. Gesetze und Regeln gelten offenbar nur für andere. (+ Video) » | Von Alan Posener, Korrespondent für Politik und Gesellschaft | Freitag, 18. September 2015

Saudi Teen to Be Executed by CRUCIFIXION for Anti-government Protest

Ali al-Nimr is to be crucified for protesting against
the Saudi government

EXPRESS: A PRISONER sentenced to death by crucifixion as a child for taking part in a protest has had his final appeal dismissed.

Human rights campaigners are calling on the European Union to step-in to prevent Ali Mohammed al-Nimr being executed by Saudi Arabian authorities.

Mr al-Nimr has been in a Saudi Arabian jail since he was arrested on Valentines' Day in 2012 when he was just 17-years-old during a crackdown on anti-government protests in the Shi'ite province of Qatif.

Authorities accused him of taking part in illegal protests and firearms offences - despite no evidence being produced for the latter charge.

After numerous breaches of international standards following his and his family's strong denial of the charges, a final appeal was held in secret and without Mr al-Nimr's knowledge which was dismissed, giving him few legal options now to oppose the sentence originally handed down on May 27 last year.

Lawyers now fear Mr al-Nimr will be executed within days. » | Alix Culbertson | Friday, September 18, 2015

‘Soon There Will Be No More Luxembourg’

POLITICO.eu: Migration crisis rattles Europe’s richest country.

LUXEMBOURG — If one place should be able to smoothly weather Europe’s migrant crisis, it is the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

This is the richest country on the Continent and the second richest in the world, behind Qatar. Luxembourg has experience opening its arms to migrants flocking here to work for decades. The national identity switches comfortably among three national languages, suggesting cultural fluidity and openness. Besides, few people fleeing places like Syria, Afghanistan and Eritrea would head for Luxembourg in the first place.

But money isn’t everything. Luxembourg’s smallness is hobbling its response to Europe’s migration crisis and there is a fear among locals that its resources and its cultural identity will be swamped. » | Zeke Turner | Wednesday, September 16, 2015

Réfugiés : pour Hollande, Schengen est en danger

LE POINT: Pour le président de la République, il est très difficile d'imposer aux pays de l'Union européenne les mécanismes de répartition des réfugiés.

François Hollande a mis en garde jeudi contre les "dangers" qui menaceraient l'espace Schengen si un accord n'était pas trouvé en Europe sur l'accueil des réfugiés du Moyen-Orient, dans un entretien accordé à l'Agence France-Presse. Comme on lui demandait si l'espace Schengen de libre circulation était en danger, le chef de l'État a répondu : "Oui, s'il n'y a pas le mécanisme des centres d'enregistrement pour distinguer les réfugiés des migrants économiques et assurer la répartition des bénéficiaires du droit d'asile."

"Schengen serait en danger s'il n'y avait plus de contrôle des frontières extérieures" de l'Union européenne, a insisté le chef de l'État. Dans cette hypothèse, "les États vont rétablir d'une façon ou d'une autre des frontières nationales", a-t-il relevé. Selon lui, "on serait alors obligé de rétablir des postes de douane, de contrôle, également dans les moyens de transport, et ce serait la fin de Schengen au sens d'un espace contrôlé qui assurait la liberté de circulation". » | Le Point.fr | jeudi 17 septembre 2015

Saudi Diplomat Accused of Raping Maids Leaves India under Cover of Immunity

THE TELEGRAPH: Police removed two Nepalese maids from the diplomat's home last week; they accuse him of confining and raping them for months

A Saudi Arabian diplomat accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two Nepalese maids has left India under cover of diplomatic immunity, while Nepal on Thursday called for justice for the women.

India's External Affairs Ministry spokesman Vikas Swarup identified the diplomat as Majed Hassan Ashoor, the first secretary at the Saudi Embassy in New Delhi. The statement late on Wednesday said Mr Ashoor, "who is allegedly accused of abusing two Nepali maids, has left India".

It gave no details on how the diplomat left the country, but said "the first secretary, being a diplomat, is governed by the provisions of the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations."

The two Nepalese, working as maids in the diplomat's luxury apartment, have accused him of illegally confining and raping them during the past few months. » | AP | Thursday, September 17, 2015

Interview: Viktor Orbán: "Am Ende werden die Muslime mehr sein als wir"

DIE WELT: Ungarns Premier Viktor Orbán will auch an der Grenze zu Kroatien einen Zaun bauen. In der Flüchtlingskrise rechnet er mit 100 Millionen Migranten, die die kulturelle Identität Europas gefährdeten.

Die Welt: Herr Ministerpräsident, sind Sie zufrieden damit, wie der Grenzzaun zu Serbien funktioniert?

Viktor Orbán: In der ungarischen Politik ist "zufrieden" ein Ausdruck, den wir meiden. Wer wäre auch so verrückt zu sagen, wir sind zufrieden, wenn zahllose Migranten kommen und man die undankbare Aufgabe hat, sie stoppen zu müssen. "Satisfaction" ist etwas für die Rolling Stones. Wir haben uns ein Ziel gesetzt und dieses Ziel erreicht.

Die Welt: Am Dienstag allein hat die ungarische Polizei 200 Menschen an der Grenze festgenommen. Den neuen strengen Gesetzen zufolge droht ihnen Gefängnis. Haben Sie Platz in Ihren Gefängnissen für täglich 200 neue Häftlinge?

Orbán: Es waren letztlich nur einige Dutzend Verfahren, die eröffnet wurden, es stellte sich heraus, dass die meisten dieser Menschen schon über die Grenze gekommen waren, bevor die neuen Regeln in Kraft traten. Sowieso werden Kinder und Frauen anders behandelt. » | Von Boris Kálnoky, Budapest Korrespondent | Mittwoch, 16. September 2015

Message to Illegal Immigrants from Hungary

Refugee Crisis Escalates as Migrants Break through Hungarian Border

THE GUARDIAN: Clashes with police follow moves by desperate refugees to break through a border gate, as others make their way to Croatia

Europe’s biggest refugee crisis since the second world war entered a new phase on Wednesday as hundreds of trapped refugees briefly broke through a border gate on the now-blocked Hungarian border, leading to frenzied clashes with Hungarian police, while hundreds of others forged a new route through Croatia.

Hungarian riot police fired teargas and water cannon across the border with Serbia after frustrated crowds, who had gathered there in their thousands when Hungary closed its frontier on Tuesday, tried to burst through a gate that connects the two countries. Hungary’s actions were met with fury by the Serbian government, which said its northern neighbours had no right to fire into Serbian territory. » | Patrick Kingsley in Šid and Horgoš | Wednesday, September 16, 2015

KRONEN ZEITUNG: FPÖ-Chef Heinz-Christian Strache hat sich am Mittwoch mittels Videobotschaft zur Flüchtlingskrise geäußert. In der sechseinhalbminütigen Aufnahme wendet er sich mit einer "Grundsatzerklärung" an die Österreicher: "Gerade Menschlichkeit und Mitgefühl verlangen es in diesen Tagen und Wochen von uns, einen klaren Blick zu bewahren: einen Blick auf die Realität."

Die Politik sei gefragt, die "wirklich Verfolgten zu schützen", aber auch gleichzeitig darauf zu achten, dass "unsere Österreicherinnen und Österreicher nicht selbst Opfer unkontrollierbarer Entwicklungen werden". In beiden Fällen habe die Regierung versagt. "Ich halte es für unverantwortlich, davon zu reden, dass diese Zuwanderung auch nur ansatzweise verkraftbar ist", sagt Strache im Video.

Anschließend stellt der FPÖ- Chef einige Fragen, beispielsweise: "Woher soll der Wohnraum für all die fremden Menschen kommen?", oder "Wie viel kostet das alles und woher soll das Geld kommen?" Zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen seien klare Grundsätze und Regeln nötig. (+ Video) » | red | Mittwoch, 16. September 2015

LE MATIN: ETAT ISLAMIQUE — Le président syrien impute l'afflux de réfugiés syriens en Europe au soutien de l'Occident aux «terroristes» responsables selon lui de la guerre dans son pays.

«C'est comme si l'Occident pleurait d'un oeil sur les réfugiés et du second les visait avec une arme», a déclaré le chef de l'Etat syrien lors d'un entretien à des médias russes diffusé mercredi.

“Undoubtedly this will be seen as one of the avenues that the Islamic State employ in order to get their own people in position to where they may be able to confront who they see to be the enemies who are leading the campaign against them,” Choudary stated.

“So I think this is a very real possibility,” he continued. “It’s probably already happening. The extent of it is very difficult to know until it has some kind of manifestation.” » | Aaron Klein | Wednesday, September 16, 2015
