LILLE, France: Two Belgian policemen were arrested after being found in a French border town with a vanload of migrants, officials said Thursday, sparking a diplomatic incident.

The police van carrying 13 migrants and the two policemen was stopped by French police in Nieppe, a town on the Belgian border, on Tuesday evening, after crossing from Belgium.

The Belgian policemen were arrested and questioned before being released, an official source said.
The policemen, from Ypres, said they had picked up the migrants after finding them walking along a road in Belgium.

One of the officers, Georges Aeck, told Belgian broadcaster RTBF: "We didn't want to leave them... on the side of the road to walk to the border. "So we took them... in the direction they wanted to go."

Belgium's ambassador to France, Vincent Mertens de Wilmars, was summoned Thursday over the incident "so we can ask him for an explanation", the French interior ministry said.

French authorities have already expressed "their strongest condemnation after this initiative which does not conform to the normal work practices agreed between France and Belgium".

The Belgian police union said the French police had handcuffed their Belgian colleagues before questioning, a claim denied by the French authorities.

The migrants were taken to a border police station in the northern French city of Lille. Three minors were placed in the care of local authorities and the adults have been temporarily detained while their status is assessed.

The northern French port of Calais is a magnet for migrants who try to board lorries there to reach Britain, although it is not known whether the migrants in the incident had asked to be taken to Calais. Hmmmm.....Here you are carrying out a humanitarian 'action' and you get arrested :)

Archbishop of Mosul Dire warning to Europe: "Our suffering is a foretaste of what you will endure"

Flashback: Archbishop of Mosul Dire warning to Europe: "Our suffering is a foretaste of what you will endure". (UnserTirol).[GoogleTranslated].

The archbishop of Mosul (Iraq), Amel Shimon Nona, turns with exhortation to Europeans and Christians. He warns of too liberal values ​​and policies. This was in the Middle East "worth nothing".

"Our present sufferings is a foretaste of what you will suffer in the near future you Europeans and Christians. I've lost my diocese. The premises of my apostolate were occupied by Islamist radicals who want to see us either converted or dead. But my church is still alive.

Please try to understand us. Your liberal democratic principles are worth nothing here. You have the reality in the Middle East in mind, for you is an ever-growing number of Muslims in your country welcome. But you are in danger. You must firm and courageous decisions, even at the cost to contradict your principles.

You believe that all men are equal, but that's not true: Islam does not say that all people are equal. Your values ​​are not his. If you do not understand the fast enough, you'll prey to the enemy, whom you welcomed with you at home. "

On the question of whether Islam per se is already a danger responds Amel Nona:

"No of course not. The vast majority of Muslims want nothing more than you and I. Live peacefully with each other. So they live. Without a doubt. But in the West, the threat posed by IS, by Salafists, jihadists, still ignored criminally. You are too naive in the West. Islam, the Sharia, as propagated completely different values ​​in part. Which are not always compatible with the values ​​of the West.

Islam is in deep crisis. For centuries already. He has without a doubt a tremendously spiritual, theological, humanistic potential. Only: This is not used. It lies fallow. Many Muslims were therefore prone to ideologues and demagogues who interpret the fundamentals of religion of Islam in its own way.

The consequences are shown here. These episodes will also be felt in the West sometime. 

In Europe there is today a constantly growing jihadist potential that hates the West. The West has no answer to this threat and to this day comes from the Islam out no response to this threat. What has developed here, will spread further, will not stop at your borders. It has long made it with you and overgrown with you further. "

80 % of refugees are NOT from Syria: EU numbers expose the 'lie' that the majority of refugees are fleeing war theater.

80 % of refugees are NOT from Syria: EU numbers expose the 'lie' that the majority of refugees are fleeing war theater. (DM).

Only one in every five migrants claiming asylum in Europe is from Syria.

The EU logged 213,000 arrivals in April, May and June but only 44,000 of them were fleeing the Syrian civil war. Campaigners and left-wing MPs have suggested the vast majority of migrants are from the war-torn state, accusing the Government of doing too little to help them.

'This exposes the lie peddled in some quarters that vast numbers of those reaching Europe are from Syria,' said David Davies, Tory MP for Monmouth. 'Most people who are escaping the war will go to camps in Lebanon or Jordan.

'Many of those who have opted to risk their lives to come to Europe have done so for economic reasons.'

Sir Bill Cash, a fellow Tory, said: 'These figures make extremely disturbing reading. The whole argument has been made that this influx is all real refugees from Syria whereas this adds to the substantial evidence that there are a large number of economic migrants who are aiming for a better life.'

The figures from Eurostat, the EU's official statistical agency, show that migration from April to June was running at double the level of the same period in 2014.

The number of Afghans lodging asylum claims is up four-fold, from 6,300 to 27,000. Another 17,700 claims were made by Albanians, whose country is at peace.

A further 13,900 applicants came from Iraq which, like Syria, is being torn apart by the Islamic State terror group. This exposes the lie peddled in some quarters that vast numbers of those reaching Europe are from Syria. David Davies, Tory MP for Monmouth

Half a million migrants have arrived in Europe so far this year, with 156,000 coming in August alone. Rather than claiming asylum in the first safe EU country they reach, most head on toward wealthy northern states.

The EU requires that each asylum claim be processed in the first EU country reached by the asylum seeker, under the so-called Dublin system.

The human cost of the crisis has been paid by the estimated 3,000 migrants who have drowned after putting their lives in the hands of people smugglers for the perilous crossing of the Mediterranean. Hmmmm........According to the chart above most came from Iraq, number two.........KOSOVO.. Read the full story here.

Europol tracking 30,000 suspected people smugglers.

Europol tracking 30,000 suspected people smugglers. (DailyStar).

As many as 30,000 people could be involved in the trafficking gangs charging refugees thousands of euros for a perilous trip to Europe, the head of Europe's police agency said Wednesday.

Rob Wainwright said the discovery of 71 bodies in the back of a truck in Austria last month led Europol to the massive people smuggling operation and the identification of that number of suspects - far larger than the agency had thought.

"The tragic incident in Austria is symptomatic of an explosion in the criminal problem we are seeing right now," he told Reuters. "Thousands of criminals are flocking to this spot, this mass movement of migrants and refugees."

"This year alone we have collected info on up to 30,000 suspected criminals and their associates involved in this. That shows you the magnitude of the criminal activity that is ongoing at the moment," he said.

Europol, which has roughly 950 staff working out of The Hague, is coordinating 1,400 different people smuggling investigations across the continent, Wainwright said. Hmmm.....ISIL would be insane not to use this opportunity to settle inside the whole EU.
