* Immigrants? NOT: they are invaders. At best, they are economic migrants. Europe owes them nothing…
ROME: Italy declared a nationwide state of emergency Friday over the arrival of immigrants as Silvio Berlusconi’s right-wing government pushes forward with its crackdown on illegal immigration.
Parliament said that the state of emergency, which gives police and local authorities additional powers to tackle the influx, was extended to the entire country to combat the “persistent and exceptional” arrival of illegal immigrants. It did not give further details.
The state of emergency was earlier in effect only for the southern provinces of Sicily, Puglia and Calabria.
Italy’s long shoreline and proximity to Africa make it a popular destination and entry point into Europe for thousands of Africans who make hazardous journeys in flimsy boats each year.
The move by Berlusconi’s government, which won an April election promising a hard line on illegal immigration, which it blames for crime, was immediately attacked by the opposition.
* This is the same opposition that would build a bridge to north-Africa or provide a free ferry service to bring in the African Muslim hordes….
“This way it ends up only increasing the worries and insecurities of people, exactly the opposite of what should be done,” Marco Minniti, a Democratic Party politician, said.

The head of Médicins Sans Frontières in Italy told the Ansa news agency that migrant arrivals on the southern island of Lampedusa in the first seven months of the year were up 30 percent from a year ago but were stable compared to prior years.
Berlusconi earlier this week won parliamentary approval for a new package of reforms to tackle the issue of illegal immigration.

This is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening.
We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way...
But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. Don't bother with circular reasoning either, we been there, done it. If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted.
Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, don't bother with da'awa, (we've heard it before) don't spam us with long pieces of cut & paste, write in English, try to tell the truth,
(we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it!
One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for
trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display.
But you won't be back, trust me on that.
Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

Unlike most, I have been to Libya, I have also crossed the Sahara. Most of the illegal immigrants come through Libya, which is as tightly controlled as the old East Germany. A fly does not enter that country without Gadaffi knowing about it. I do know two other things about Libya that is not common knowledge in the West. Firstly, one of the worlds largest engineering projects is going on in the southern desert, bordering Chad and Niger from where a lot of these so-called refugees are coming. This is the great man made river project, look it up, it is on the net. The second thing is that the Arabs are bone lazy, until the last century, slaves did all the dirty work, slavery was abolished in Saudi Arabia in 1962. I suspect that all these blacks making their way through Libya,a thousand miles of desert with no roads, do so with the help of the government after paying for their fare by working on the project.
Ciccio, you are right on the money.
Gaddafi is not only a terrorist, but also the greatest facilitator for illegal migration. Besides, his sons are very active in the global jihad from the Philippines to Thailand and in Africa.
Collect them ALL, [gently if possible, rudely if neccessary] and send them ALL home.
