Hundreds of refugees caught with pictures of ISIS atrocities on their phone

I think the main point would be why and how Germany can still largely keep the humanitarian policy after the current pressure today.

My guess is it's all about economic modelling as well as risk-benefit analysis, with a long-term and systemic view.

The decision highly likely must be made logically due to this long-term and systemic view is analytically and humanely better than other short-term and local-optimisation views, after considering political and cultural factors.

Perhaps we need to ask if even the US doesn't have the self-confidence, screening-protocol, settlement-capability and transformation-system for accepting new migrants, which country would have?

Then is the whole world so weak/powerless to do anything, or so blind to see/understand anything?

Angela Merkel has promised to “tangibly” reduce the number of refugees and migrants entering Germany in an attempt to quell a rebellion in her conservative ranks, but rejected calls to impose a cap on immigration.

Maybe a large, extremely rich muslim country right next door to them, ie Saudi Arabia, which has taken zero refugees. The same country which finances ISIS while pretending to oppose them.

Merkel is an example of why term limits are necessary. Like obama, she personifies arrogant elites shoving unpopular policies down her countrymen's throats, so she can bask in imagined moral superiority.
 
exactly the fricken point. actuarial tables or the type of risk analysis a govt consultant might do... are never going to be accurate when the risk is a dirty bomb from Isis. The risk is grave (death) and the magnitude of the risk is very high from a twin towers type attack to a dirty bomb or perhaps a nuke from pakistan.

The inhumane thing is what our govts are doing.

These leftists are all fricken twisted in their thoughts because they think the their troll commander would want them to support these crazy policies.

Will ISIS Infect Bangladesh?
Michael Kugelman，Atif Jalal Ahmad

Written by Michael Kugelman，Atif Jalal Ahmad on 2015/12/14.

Edited by Glocal Reporter on 2015/12/14.


In a National Interest piece last August, we argued that ISIS’s prospects in Bangladesh are relatively limited. Pro-ISIS sentiment is weak, we concluded, and the group will have great difficulty establishing a strong foothold there.

Since the article was published, ISIS has claimed responsibility for a series of deadly attacks in Bangladesh. These include the murder of an Italian and a Japanese expatriate and two separate strikes on Shia Muslims (one on a procession commemorating the Ashura holiday, the other on a mosque). ISIS also took credit for an attack on the Bangladeshi state—a deadly assault on a police checkpoint near Dhaka. According to one count, law enforcement officials in Bangladesh have attributed up to fifteen terror attacks to ISIS.

Amid all these atrocities, last month an article appeared in Dabiq, an ISIS magazine, that vowed to take the fight deep into Bangladesh (which it referred to as Bengal): “The soldiers of the Khilafah will continue to rise and expand in Bengal and their actions will continue,” it warned. Ominously, the articleclaimed that a new ISIS “regional leader” was in place in Bangladesh, and suggested that local jihadist factions were uniting behind him: “The soldiers of the Khilafah in Bengal . . . unified their ranks, nominated a regional leader . . . and hastened to answer the order from the Islamic State leadership.”

Taking this all into account, one might reasonably conclude that our article back in August was way off the mark.

We beg to differ.
