The Latest Afghan Refugee Murder

 How many times in the past few years, have we posted and translated news reports coming out of Europe describing the latest attack, rape or murder of European civilians at the hands of some Afghan refugee or gang of Afghan refugees? Or Syrians, Moroccans, Chechens, or some other nationality from a Muslim-majority nation?

I write this on the heels of yet another senseless killing by an Afghan refugee, but this time in our own country, in Washington DC, where two National Guard soldiers were ambushed and gunned down by Rahmanullah Lakanwal. Specialist Sarah Beckstrom (20) has now died of her injuries while Air Force Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe (24) remains in critical condition. 

Officially, the motive is still to be determined, at least according to most accounts in the mainstream press. Reportedly, the suspect yelled, “Allahu akhbar” during his attack. That pretty much explains it.

The suspect was reportedly admitted to the US after the withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan during the Biden administration. It is reported that Lakanwal had worked with US forces during the war. In the interest of full disclosure, I had previously written that we should evacuate those who worked on our side. 

It’s hard to scrap that sentiment because of the actions of one man, but would it not have been better to find a country of refuge for these people that would at least have more in common with Afghan values- and religion? Granted, language issues would still be a problem since Afghans are not Arabic speakers, but I will always question why these oil rich nations, who import many if not most of their manual labor from around the world, refuse to take in all these refugees even when they come from Arab lands. It is always left to the West to take in millions of Muslim refugees, both real and faked. The result has been the loss of innocent lives and social strife.

I hope that President Trump follows through on his statement that this refugee policy is going to be changed though I think his reference to third world countries in general was a mistake. 

The bottom line is that Islamic migration to the West is a mistake and must be reversed for a variety of reasons. The most important reason is that people are dying, and we should not have to pay for our generosity with the blood of our own innocent citizenry.

Enough.
