Muammar Gaddafi and illegal immigration

I saw that video clip referred to by Joseph P. Borg in his letter Muammar Gaddafi's Thoughts On Islamic Victory. Although it contains a number of inaccuracies, such as Albania being already in the European Union, the general tone taken by Col. Gaddafi should have many a European citizen feel shivers running down their spine. After watching the clip, it becomes ridiculously obvious why Libya adamantly refuses to cooperate with the EU on migration control, as opposed to such agreements elsewhere (such as between Morocco and Spain).

Now we have it straight from the horse's mouth what the real motive of unprecedented numbers of Africans crossing over to Europe in dangerous-looking boats is. In their vast majority they are Muslims and one cannot rule out that among them are extremists and others who are in some way linked to the world's most dangerous terrorist groups. It would simply be naïve at best, and irresponsible at worst, for authorities and NGOs to interpret such facts as mere scaremongering.

Col Gaddafi's statement is ample proof, if any were ever needed, of the way he views the illegal immigration phenomenon which is plaguing southern European states. He is abusing his "friendship" with Malta to use it as a bridge to reach his dream of a Muslim Europe. And guess what? Our island will be the first to capitulate.

Already as of now, we are being abandoned by our supposed EU ally.

It is every government's duty to ensure a better future for upcoming generations. Dismissing such blatant threats as a hoax is nothing short of failing the same duty.
