11,000 Icelanders Offer To House Syrian Refugees
Submitted by Michaela Whitton via TheAntiMedia.org,
The Icelandic government is reconsidering its national refugee quota after a social media campaign resulted in over 11,000 Icelanders offering up a room in their homes to refugees.
As Europe struggles to cope with unprecedented levels of those seeking shelter, residents of the sparsely populated Nordic island country resorted to direct action to pressure their leaders.
Iceland was recently awarded the title of “most peaceful country” in the Global Peace Index, with Syria ranking the least peaceful. With a population of 330,000 — less than many European cities — the country’s government had previously stated it could only take in 50 people this year.
Taking matters into their own hands, over 16,000 Icelanders joined a Facebook page created on Sunday to pressurize the Icelandic government into accepting more refugees.
In addition to offering rooms in homes, people have pledged financial support with air fares, language teaching, clothing, food, and toys, and the page has been inundated with messages of gratitude from Syrians, some of whom are writing from refugee camps.
As a result of the outpouring of support, Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson announced that a committee is being formed to re-assess the country’s current policy.
Founder of the Facebook group, author and professor, Bryndis Bjorgvinsdottir, said her country’s attitude was being changed by tragic news reports. “I think people have had enough of seeing news stories from the Mediterranean and refugee camps of dying people and they want something done now,” she told Iceland’s RUV television.
Undoubtedly, thousands of people across the globe are equally horrified. Inspired by Iceland’s example, social media campaigns have sprung up and united those who are dismayed by the pitiful humanitarian response to the crisis. As distressing images and stories of the hurdles and barriers faced at every turn by those seeking sanctuary saturate the European press, similar schemes have snowballed throughout Europe.
In Britain, more and more people are condemning the government’s shameful response to the crisis — a response particularly ironic considering most refugees are fleeing conflicts that the U.K.’s imperialist interventions have directly contributed to.
Not prepared to sit back, groups like Citizens UK are pressuring U.K. leaders to step up to the plate. More than 250,000 Brits have signed a petition calling for Britain to take its fair share of Syrian refugees.
Ireland’s ”Pledge a Bed” campaign was overwhelmed with thousands of offers of spare rooms within hours of its launch while hundreds of Germans have offered to share their homes on the Refugees Welcome website.
Swiftly following suit and not to be outdone, offers of support haven’t stopped at Europe’s shores. A U.S. group called Open Homes, Open Hearts US – for Syrian refugees launched earlier this week.
With no easy answers and no end in sight, the political firestorm will continue, as will the global outrage at the humanitarian tragedy. The only thing clear is that if the West were prepared to accept more refugees, desperate families wouldn’t be forced to rely on smugglers or to climb into perilous boats and refrigeration lorries.

Fine by me, they're better off somewhere closer TO HOME anyways. The statist plan is to re-patriot them BACK TO Syria isn't it?
Assad doesn't seem like such a bad guy after all, all things considered in that neck of the woods and now with St. Pooty rolling up his sleeves to pull Assad's ass out of the fire it'll only be six months, tops ;-)
We have enough problems to solve, Alfred. Exactly why we don't need unwashed masses invading our lands. We have enough shit to mop up as it is, as you are so ready to point out.
Charity begins at HOME.
Can't argue with that, but Europa isn't really all that different. I check out the German media mags and they're lapping up all of the Merikan pop culture, even now. Like super fat hog feminazi model Tess Holliday.
This will be priceless to watch play out. The entire European Continent has gone bat-shit crazy. Something is afoot.
And just like always, they will be looking our way for help.
We are no good prices of shit, until the chips are down.
Interesting that white Europeans feel they must assume others burdens. Oh well, the path to hell is paved with what? That's the flaw in white europeans......they are too naive for their own good.

White Man's Burden?
Kipling spoke of such 115 years ago. Not exactly a new concept, to be sure.
I'd move to Iceland with a quickness.
Can I be a YoEse Refugee?
We had a closed juvenile detention center down the road from me. Indoor pool very modern rooms and a dining hall and gym.
So the Dutch govt decided 6 months ago to take in 500 Syrian and Eritrean refugees all between ages of 14-16
At first people were pissed off because I live in a touristy area in the forest with nice bike trails and horse paths.
But there has been NO problems. I have met a few of those kids and they are amazingly friendly and courteous and seem very happy to be safe. Most of their parents are DEAD
They have an 8PM curfew. They get Dutch classes during the day and indoctrination about our customs and culture.
The Goodwill gave them all nice cloths and they all got a smart phone and a bicycle and they get an allowance everyweek.
Iceland is making a terrible mistake importing any Islamic refugees
You don't have a fucking clue about anything. Many are Christians and I have never had problems with Muslims here.
But fucking trailer park trash MORONS like you are NOT welcome here. You are the type of person that makes your country the shithole that it is. NOT MUSLIMS.
BTW,. I am atheist
Christians were about 5% of the population of Syria and MUSLIMS are killing the fuck out of them for some reason or they wouldn't be fleeing in the first place, "Al". By the way, this shithole of a country felt obliged by race baiting fools like you projecting centuries old white guilt on everyone else to hire a damned MUSLIM as it's President while your slave trading forebearers get a pass.
And by the way, jihadists feel the same way about atheists as they do Christians.
MORON.
Moron is YOU, pal Total MORON
and ignorant beyond belief.
Its a good thing you are a fucking dumbass burger flipper and will never have enough money to visit here. We don't want you trash here.
Let me guess you are a fucking Heinz 57 Americunt asshole.
Dude, I can afford be there tomorrow if I thought watching you beg for my mercy was worth even a second of my time, Mr. Amsterdam Airport Techie Tech check...lol.
What are you a fucking retard?
One minute it's eat the rich and the next it's you are unworthy to speak you fucking burger flipper.
At least try and be consistent, troll.
Rabbi nmewn.
Another user account, can you get anymore obvious?
nmewn, I agree for the most part... except that Muslims despise atheists and will kill them first. Christians are people of the book and are allowed after payin the jizya and accepting dhiminitude. Atheists are like gays, not allowed. Al will be the first one executed when they take over.
.... I guess they recognize that Athiest's are far more dangerous because they speak truth and logic based on experience and observation - and think for themselves ... zealot christians are just another bunch of brainwashed "followers" who need only change the fairytale they blindly espouse to be "saved".
Most of the atheists are state worshipers and are also most likely to persecute Christians for their beliefs.
And of course atheist state worshipers sit on top of the biggest throne of corpses by far.
http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/MURDER.HTM
Take the bad people out of Christianity and you have a decent message, thou shall not kill, steal, lie etc..etc...love thy neighbor and all that.
What is the atheist state worshiper message? Kill, steal, lie, tyranny , persecution etc..etc.....
I guess you thought you were superior to Christians, didn't you? Thanks for making my case.
Grimaldus
Hmmm, I guess it's a another false flag about all those tiny enclaves of Christians being chased out, raped, genital mutilated, and hacked to death, by the Mohammedan?
Fuckin idiots. Please take our Mexicans too.
Let's start a " Go Fund Me" for that!
I'm in.
Yes Al, I'm White Trash, no trailer.
If you check the Facebook page, you can find Americans who also want to shelter refugees. https://www.facebook.com/events/1481734488816658/1481836258806481/
>my kids and i live in mill valley, california and would host a family in a heartbeat.
>Someone get in touch with us, too! We're in Pasadena, California. Extra bedroom, patios, pool... We will house and board children and a caretaker for however long it takes, until Syria is back on its feet and the war had ended. Please reach out to us --
---------------
But do they really want to shelter them for like 5 years? In their own house, providing food, money, transportation...
Why can't they shelter poor Mexicans for now?
"Why can't they shelter poor Mexicans for now?"
I reckon someone ought to repost that in dem Mexican papers.
oh no, islam is now in the North Pole area.... no more safe plae
Hey DUMBO lots of those people are Christians.
Its amazing how ignorant you fucktards are.
And lots are not, dim wit. How many " nots" does it take.
19 is one answer.
Don't look now, but direct self-governance has been fully enabled by technology.
How long until they claim Icelandic culture is offensive and the hand outs aren't enough?
"How long until they claim Icelandic culture is offensive and the hand outs aren't enough?"
Within 6 months if there are sufficient numbers.
I trust those Icelanders will stay as happy and generous when they wake up to a nightmare of their own making.
Well intentioned folks, the half that are legitimate offers. I just hope they understand what they're getting into (and don't end up with bad apples).
Guaranteed these Icelanders wouldnt be rushing to offer their Houses if these were Africans.
or some of the trailer park trash here like Tarabel and other juvenile asssholes.
Says the guy who uses Alfred E Newmann (I dunno, sounds kinda Jewish to me) as an avatar while calling other people juvenile.
Did I say you could stop licking my asshole to comment? NO. so get to it
Says the guy who calls other people juvenile.
Isn't Mad magazine published by a bunch of clever Jews? Gotta admire them for making Alfred E Neumann a household name-- even in Die Seven Provincienen. Some people just can't get that sly imagery out of their brains once it has been successfully implanted. Takes a strong will to resist such cultural bludgeoning.
Is that your fav procurement in the various pedophilia shops of A-Dam?
Bwaaaaaa. DoucheBoy2015 is a crypto-joo projecting way way too much.
The Final Solution to the whitish problem is to distribute the FEMA coffins equally. Then we will all decide to live along the toxic sludge riverbanks and buy our goods from Costco, Praise be unto It. That way our homes can be freed up for the migrants who deserve good paying Costco jobs (Praise be unto Them), maybe even burger flipping jobs, and we shall all be wealthy together in the Tower of Costco and we will flourish in our FEMA coffins.
I feel this is the only solution. And if you disagree, well, then you're probably not a self-hating white man yet.
When we immigrated to the USA in 1953 from Netherlands my father busted his ballls to build us a new house. He worked 80 hours a week driving truck.
This was in the suburbs of Chicago.
He ordered a load of drywall and the neighbours sent their kids to water balloon the drywall. They yelled ''we don't want you Dutch fuckers here''
I never forgot that. and it took me years to find a way back to my home country.. I have had some nice friends in the USA but the majority of people are like you lowlifes here.
I never felt at home in the USA . EVER.
Alfred, Al, if I may. It's a special right of passage for Americans to treat newcomers like shit. If you can take it, and succeed , it's makes you stronger. All the ethnic groups had to endure. It's one of the things that made us a big family of mutts. Blacks were just getting over the hump, when civil rights came in to play, and short circuited the process.
Blacks, while treated shitty, had good moral family units, worked hard and went to church. If the process played out, naturally, they would be magnitudes better off today.
Now all it is, are laws, telling us what to believe, how to act and what to do or not.
Sound like you Dutch pussies couldn't hack it. And you were White! That's like a 10 point advantage!
I don't know if he is Dutch or not. But Dutch like Germans are inner oriented people and contributed a lot in human history unlike the man boobs thumping zio rednecks in the US. Recognize your true enemy fucktard. They are not blacks, they are not Mexicans. I will give you a clue who they are. They are in DC.
"But Dutch like Germans are inner oriented people and contributed a lot in human history unlike the man boobs thumping zio rednecks in the US."
Well, do feel free to enlighten the collective "man boob thumping zio rednecks in the US" on the 350 YEAR Dutch slave trade at your earliest possible convenience.
By my uneducated, uninformed redneck reckoning, that single episode of Dutch monarchy...errr, ummm, Dutch "history" was longer than this nation has even been around.
Did they build some fine castles & buildings for your blue blooded monarchical familial lines to live in while enslaved or was that done by the kings "master craftsmen" themselves? ;-)
If you ever want to know what's wrong with you, your country, everything you do, and the way you do it, just ask an immigrant. Especially if they are German, or Dutch.
I just read that the Dutch have always been so very precise and methodical that they kept exceptional records on every citizen - which made it extremely easy for the Nazis to locate every Jew in and out of Amsterdam. Another reason we dont need Uncle Sam (btw a very Jewish name) knowing where all the Gentiles live (especially white). Obama has been such a boon to gun sales, has he also increased KKK membership?
Whites are actually a minor evolutionary offshoot from the brown-colored homo sapiens sapiens mass. The fact that this offshoot, by a recent genetic mutation impelling self-immolation, has become an evolutionary dead end in the face of the more robust strains of the species is hardly surprising.
There must be something about being a Heinz 57 White person in America that makes them very STUPID.
fucked up genes.

Voted Obama into office. Twice!
But, we still have guns, so I would watch it, pal.
In Murica Ted Cruz can become the chairman of a science committee in senate. Lulz.
Where would the brown colored homos be if they had not been offered Affirmati e Action by the white homos?
Same story all over again. In Canada they had a Ugandan immigrant giving a particularly virulent form of AIDS to white canadian women, and what a LONG list it was. Then in Idaho another African, a college student, gave AIDS to a shitload of White co-eds. The MEDIA has taught white women that black males are the BEST. While white males are the butt of jokes and ridicule, if they are of the J-Tribe they too are depicted as god-like, like the black.

If you are white and want to understand what is happening to your race, 'The Culture of Critique' is a MUST read.
This refugee problem is intentional.
Who owns the vessels that carry them to Europe?
Who pays for fuel and crew on these vessels?
Who gives the refugees information about where to board these vessels.
The European governments are at least complicit in the whole affair. There is a simple solution. Intercept these vessels at sea, force them to sail back from where they came from. Force everyone off the vessels. After that confiscate the vessels and either tow them to the middle of the sea and sink them, or tow them to a EU port and decomission them (turn them into scrap).
Find if there is one organization or person behind these vessels and shoot him/her or them.
Problem solved.
Should have done the same thing with the boats that came to Ellis Island.
LOL. Of course they conveniently forget their roots and believe that it's different this time.
God damned Greek shipping magnates. Trying to offset the decline in the Baltic Dry Index!
How many Syrians fit in a TFE?
Dear Icelanders,
Better screen them and make sure they are what they say, Muslims, and not of the "Diaspora."
Else you may find yourself crammed into a little strip of land by the sea, dispossessed of your Liberty, land, homes, and futures.
A warning from recent history.
Zion is a scheme, not an ethnicity..
Do they have room in their hearts for the persecuted Christians? Or are they just going to take Muslim refugees like the other European countries, Canada and the US?
I predict, and mark my words, Iceland will be the next Sweden, now the rape capital of the world. Kiss your civilization goodbye Iceland!
You asked for it.
The good thing about Iceland is that they have kicked out the parasitic Kike bankers out of the country. But this may not be a good decision. These refugees might be used as a political tool to destabilize the country and enslave them and ruin their economy again.
One Kike didn't like my comment.
There's a few Hasbara floating around.
Yeah, cuz Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey etal are the model for what?
Kansas school district copes increased ethnic diversity from influx of immigrants, refugees
Rape levels now increasing from 3 per year to 1000+, just like what happened in Norway!
I checked with the AZ chapter of Minutemen HQ website and they claim that there scouts have seen a steady increase along the AZ border and that border patrol has sent 200 men from here to Texas because of an increase in activity there. I keep checking waiting to see an extreme uptick coming through as a result of economic turmoil.
Congrats Europe, you've managed the Trifecta, ethic, cultural and economic suicide...hope you enjoy you DC/Zionist masters!
Nice to see the mouthy, whiney sunni nations "pulling their weight"....why don't they take their sunni brothers so they can live in their theocratic shitholes all together.....
As Russia has been an ally and had a military presence in Syria for many years, how many refugees have they taken in? And Iran, another country selling Assad weapons, how many refugees for them?
About 1.1 million, mostly from Ukraine.
Can't wait until the EU directs those TittyVikes to move into the one room and leave the rest for their new betters.
How come almost all the pics I see of The Flood are all male with one or two very precisely composed of a woman lying on the track with her kid and a drowned child?

Maybe they would like to take some of those katrina people too. Since the neighboring town took in 12,000 of them [out of the kindenss of their hearts], crime has soared and there's a shooting every few nights there.
These Icelanders do not have a clue what's going on.
Send 'em all to Greenland
To Allahland.
I'll take in a couple of big tittied 22 year old girls
Non-muslim, of course.
Idiots.
The original plan was to take 50 people, but since that is clearly not enough according to Icelandic public, more needs to be done.
My guess is that this will be expanded to a few hundred, and what people would be hoping for would be people with many children and kids that could be adopted by Icelandic families.
Icelanders have been watching this situation for quite some time. Our Coast guard has been in the Mediterranean rescuing people who have been trying to get across.
TF Sif http://www.lhg.is/english/icg/about-us/air-assets/tfsif/ has been used to find transport vessels and one of our old gun boats , Týr http://www.lhg.is/frettirogutgafa/frettir/nr/2979 fishes them up.
Týr is now being repaired after being hit by a old school ship called Kruzenshtern.

That's the end of White Man.
White people are going down for the count. Even if they aren't quantitative minorities, the politicial indoctriation of whites and non whites are preparing whites for a subordinate place in society, and blacks and other peeps of color increasingly operating the levers of power. Even when the peeps of color aren't even a cog within the economic machine (generational unemployment), they are being prepared and encouraged to blame whites for all things preceived to be a negitive outcome.
It is our Bolshevik Revolution in slow motion over decades of incremental steps. Peeps of color are the Proletariat, the white middle class are the bourgeois, and the Dictatorship of the Proletariat pits the Proles against the bourgeois for having a lifestyle that the Proles are taught was stolen from them by the whites. I'm tired...going to bed.
None of it much matters, there will be no turning back, and the tyranny will intensify. Kim Davis, the KY county clerk is another more open signal of where the society is running headlong to accelerate the upending of society by a very small group of committed pols/media molls/academia/lawyers and blaming the bourgeois for their beliefs and values and the closed loop tells the Proletariat over and over again that the whites (bourgeois) are responsible for all that ailes them.
This must cause tremendous consternation among the white racialist types. Their beloved uber-white Nordics are showing some intelligence and sympathy. Sadly, the white racialist dipshits won't learn thing one from this, because they're too stupid to learn a goddamed thing.
The Nordics who are doing quite well as a homogenous nation. They already did their part for the Black Lives Matter crowd. They gave Obama a Nobel Peace Prize which was merited - not for making peace - but for fulfilling an Affirmative Action rule, obviously. Odd how there are many homogeneous African countries which are not doing too well and not just due to whitey colonialism, either.
A Waste-- I'll agree with you when Israel matches their "intelligence and sympathy" and brings in a million or so refugees. Plenty of liebesraum in the Negev, and they can get there in a couple of hours.
Thats very kind of the Icelanders and they can feel very good NOW for doing this but they will soon find out that MUSLIMS DO NOT ASSIMILATE either with their host country OR with themselves. The majority are peaceful but there are tbose 30% who constantly ask themseves WWMD - What Would Mohammad Do? Mohammad beheaded. Just history.
Meanwhile, the long-suffering Israelis, who actually know something about Arabs (viz. that they are scum with no place in a civilized country outside a zoo) are doing the smart thing and telling the Arabs to go bother someone else, accelerating construction of their own border fence for good measure.
You might as well have accepted Nazis as refugees during World War Two (and after the war many Nazis did flee to Ireland).
Peoples who not only cheerfully help their masters murder Jews for sport, but actively recruit as replacements savages who were everything anti-Semites accused the Jews of being and far worse besides, will not long survive, and do not deserve to.

This article has to be complete propaganda bullshit. I know there are many stupid people on this planet(with me doing my fair share of dumb shit in my lifetime), but this story takes the cake! No fucking way, I call bullshit.
In theory, it's a wonderful moving story. In practice, you serious? Have you thought through it all?? Food, heating bills, cultural difference, privacy, friction in a confined space, etc .... Unconditional stay forever??
Yeah, it's moving. . .
the contents of my stomach back up my esophagus.
Whilst it may look very charitable of the Icelandic people to run this Facebook campaign, they've missed that a lot of the "refugees" are simply opportunistic "economic migrants", taking advantage of the chaos created in the M/E and North Africa by Washington/Westminster/Paris/Brussels/NATO et al to better their lives by emigrating to a wealthier Western country where all the hard work has been done by others.
That's why very few of them have chosen to go to Iceland...it's simply not a wealthy Western country, whereas Germany, France & the UK are. Apart from that, Iceland is darned cold for long periods of the year.
Iceland is not wealthy? They do OK. I think it's the name that scares the shit out of desert dwellers.
Hosting refugees is a lucrative welfare gig, especially for city bureaucrats, how many Icelanders are willing to ASSUME PERSONAL FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY?
Zero.
ZH.
I'm sure the US will foot the bill for Iceland.
We would take in a small Syrian family except that we already have 30 and 26 yr. old economic refugees living with us.
Wait till the Icelanders realize that the immigrants won't be leaving and will never assimilate.
yup. Iceland: FORMERLY the most peaceful nation...
there would be no refugee crisis if 0bamao, Hilary et al hadn't totally fucked up things in the ME. these barbarian hoards will be the end of Europe, just as the millions invading US will be the end of us.
And let the rapin' begin!!!!!
How many refugees are China and Russia accepting?
