4 Muslims spotted by Maine maple sugar workers trying to enter USA

Four followers of the Prophet (three of them named after him) were arrested by the US border patrol near Millinocket ME after having been sportted by alert workers in a maple sugar bush trying to cross illegally from Canada. 

The four are named in an affidavit filed in court by a CBP agent as Ali Mohammed Ali Abdullah, Hameed Mohammed Nagi, Ibrahim Ayyub Khan and Mohammed Sultan Saleh. They are being held (without bail) for trial on charges of entry without inspection. 

According to the affidavit, the four Muslims were spotted last Friday morning walking south along the Golden Road, a private road that stretches between the St-Zacharie QC/Maine border crossing and the town of Millinocket. 

The maple sugar workers "reported that they had heard from a third man that two occupants of a gray Nissan automobile stopped on the Golden Road were asking passersby for fuel and wi-fi to contact people they were supposed to pick up." 

Border patrol officers then headed south and "observed fresh footprints on the soft dirt of the road." Near mile marker 87, they saw the four men trying to hide in vegetation at the side of the road, one of them "acting nervously." When they were taken into custody, they said they were British citizens, "just on a hike", not meaning to cross the border, and that they did not realize they were in the US of A.

However, the CBP officer wrote, the men’s cellphones contained searches made that day for "bangor from my location", "boston from bangor" and "new york from boston", as well as "is st zacherie border crossing still used the one near quebec golden road."

The CBP also found a GoPro video in which one of the men says to the others, "I can confirm you are now on US soil." Another replies, "I'm on U.S. soil?", to which the first says, "You are on US soil. Now we are in the US." Then he exclaims, "We just made it, baby!" The video also shows a phone screen being held up with the GPS location displayed. 

The two occupants of the Nissan identified themselves as American citizens, and were asked to step out of their car. The affidavit continues: "The two complied and before the driver exited the vehicle, the (Customs and Border Protection) officer observed him reach under the driver’s seat. Observing this, the CBP officer checked under the seat and found a loaded 9mm handgun."

The two men, so far unnamed, were then taken to a border patrol station "based on their involvement in a suspected alien smuggling event." If convicted, the four potential Islamic terrorists could face sentences of up to six months in federal prison and a $5000 fine if convicted. It's the US of A, not Canada, so presumably they would be deported once they've done their time.

UPDATED: What really happened in Québec City

Poor Len Canayen, having very little to do until the start of hockey season, has been keeping a sharp eye on the situation in the Canadian province of Québec, which has been inundated this summer with 1000s of "refugees" and asylum-seekers -- mostly from Haïti -- who have been fleeing across the world's longest undefended border to escape Trumpian "persecution" and (really) get more generous welfare and other benefits. See "1000s of Haïtians invade Canada as Trudeau government dithers", WWW 17/8/17.

UPDATE: Speaking today at Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle QC, where about 98% of the invaders are crossing the US-Canada border while the Mounties stand by helplessly, Public Security Minister Ralph Goodale says he suspects that human smugglers [as opposed to robot smugglers? Ed.] may be the cause of the "spike". Nothing to do with Junior's putting out the welcome mat, then.

As you might expect (but won't be able to tell from reading the Canuck lamestream media) there has been a huge anti-immigrant backlash in la Belle Province, so much so that Prime Minister "Junior" Trudeau interrupted his march in yesterday's "Pride" parade in Montréal (in which he walked arm in arm with Ireland's new gay Indian prime minister) to denounce those who protest against the invasion and proclaim that Canada won't be defined by "a bunch of racists".

He was referring, no doubt, to La Meute (= The Pack, as in wolf pack), a group of Québécois which originated in a Facebook group and now has 43,000 members. They believe Québec is under the threat of Sharia law and radical, and are staunchly against immigration. Even as Hairboy spoke, La Meute was gathering in an underground garage in the centre of Québec City, in preparation for a march on the National Assembly (= legislature) for which they had a permit issued by the city government.

In anticipation of the protest march, several hundred loony left, antifa and "human rights" protesters assembled above ground, intent on "shutting down the racists". Here's a photo of some of the "counter-demonstrators". Note the hijabs, the masks and face coverings, and the red flags (including a Soviet Union flag worn as a mask). The flag with the depiction of an Indian (sorry for the un-PC word) is a symbol of the fight for "indigenous rights".

The alt-left counter-protesters had no permit. Their gathering was declared illegal by police when black-clad militants began jostling with authorities and threw projectiles at the police and members of La Meute. Maxime Fiset, who is paid by taxpayers for his "work" at the province's "anti-radicalization centre", admitted that their actions were violent. "I'm mad at such a display of violence," he told Radio-Canada, "because it was useless. It's a public relations victory for La Meute."

He looked on, ashen-faced, as members of La Meute emerged from their bunker and marched silently and peacefully down the street to the National Assembly... with a police escort. Here's a photo.

The leaders of La Meute were triumphant, claiming the group showed discipline when faced with provocation. Said Patrick Beaudry, one of the group's founders, "We made our point. I really believe this day will be the day La Meute gets out peacefully, just to the show the people what we really are."

Compare yesterday's march in Québec City with the events in Charlottesville VA. What began as a peaceful protest by the right was met with violence incited and initiated by the left. The protesters had a permit; the counter-protesters did not. Unlike in Charlottesville, in Québec City there was violence only by one side -- the alt-left side. (One of the leaders of the counter-protest was arrested and dragged away from the scene by police.) The difference in Québec City was that the police did what they are supposed to do, enforcing the law and protecting freedom of assembly and freedom of speech. Perhaps, just this once, Americans could learn something from Canadians.

Political correctness trumps justice! The Rotherham child abuse story

The horrendous story (see "Political correctness foils detection and punishment of 1400 sex abuse cases in English city") about systematic child abuse -- rape, trafficking and so on -- in Rotherham, England, has not received a lot of play in the lamestream media. The American media, in particular, don't give a lot of space or time to things that don't happen in the continental 48. Even a story like the ISIS terror in Syria and Iraq has to have an American slant -- like the beheading of a "journalist" or two -- or it barely gets mentioned.

Due to limitations of space, Walt was only able to give you the bare bones of the Rotherham story. To nutshell it again, more than 1400 minors, some pre-pubescent, were molested, abused, and passed around as sex toys by numerous men of Pakistani origin and "heritage". This went on for most of this century, and may be continuing even now. Three official enquiries were done, in 2002, 2003 and 2006. Their results were disbelieved or ignored by the "authorities" -- police, municipal council and child welfare agencies. So far only five of the Paki paedophiles have been charged and convicted.

According to the reports, most of the abused children were white. It is now suggested that hundreds of Pakistani girls may have been victims as well, with the crimes against them going unreported because of the culture of the male-dominated Muslim community, which doesn't take the mistreatment of women and children very seriously.

The latest report, by Dr. Alexis Jay, a former "chief social work advisor" to the government of Scotland", concluded that the Rotherham council "failed to engage" with the town's Pakistani community, despite the fact that victims described the perpetrators as "Asian".

"Some councillors seemed to think it was a one-off problem, which they hoped would go away" said the good doctor. "Several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so." See "Rotherham: In the face of such evil, who is the racist now?" Political correctness once again trumps justice!

Further reading: "The unspeakable truth about Rotherham", by Margaret Wente, in today's Globe and Mail. Here's the penultimate paragraph.
"No amount of liberal angst will make this story go away. Current Home Secretary Theresa May has acknowledged that “institutionalized political correctness” has inflicted appalling damage on the innocent. And the broader failures of Muslim integration are now too obvious to ignore. It’s not just all the young men who run off to join the caliphate and saw off people’s heads. It’s the Birmingham school scandal, where it was discovered that dozens of secular schools had been targeted for Islamization by Muslim radicals. It’s the imported culture of violence and misogyny."
