#Terrorists: What does the agreement say?

In their declaration on migration, the 28 EU leaders said: "A key element of a sustainable migration policy is to ensure effective control of our external border and stem illegal flows into the EU."

The plan includes:
  • Increased training and equipment for the Libyan coastguard
  • Stepped up efforts to block smuggling routes
  • Better conditions for migrants at Libyan reception centres
  • More EU involvement with countries near Libya to slow the influx
  • Supporting local communities on migration routes and in coastal areas to improve their socio-economic situation
The declaration says the EU remains committed to an earlier deal with Turkeywhich came into force last March and resulted in a sharp reduction of migrants travelling to northern Europe from Syria via the Balkans.
However, analysts say a similar result is unlikely in the immediate term in the central Mediterranean because of the continuing instability in Libya.
They warn that reliable partners in Libya are hard to find and that shutting existing routes might simply lead to the opening of new ones.

What I speak of are clear cases of heresy, such as Arianism. Arianism is the heresy that Jesus is a superman but not God. Spread originally by the Libyan priest Arius, his heresy infected 75% of all Christians and 80% of bishops. Coming at the dawn of the 4th century, Arius’ teaching endured for centuries after his death and provided the basis for Islamic theology’s denial of Jesus’ divinity. Arius the heretic being devoured in hell while Melchizedek the righteous looks on. But if he were alive today, Melchizedek would be called an “intoleran...

#Religion: Muslim Antisemitism: Hate Speech

Amid these riots, three other "explosions" took place. Mehdi Meklat and Badroudine Said Abdallah affair .  Mehdi Meklat and Badroudine Said Abdallah were until very recently, two cultural heroes. These two young Muslims were the darlings of the left mainstream media. [1] In March 2016, they even  had the honor of an article in T he Washington Post : "At 23, they are already celebrities, France's youngest public intellectuals.... neither sees the point of a university education, and their world begins where Paris ends, which is the point of their entire intellectual project. "Their columns for the Liberation newspaper's Bondy Blog, their documentaries and their 2015 novel all reveal the two friends' overarching intent: showing the world the complicated reality of the Paris suburbs where they were born and raised."   But in mid-February 2017, an unknown woman decided to share on Facebook some of Mehdi Meklat's tweets: "I am goi...
