“If there is a link between violent extremism and migration, it is that violent extremism is driving people from their homes, not that people are coming to our shores to commit violent extremism.”
This shows that Dr. Khalid Koser MBE, and the World Economic Forum as a whole, is totally out of touch with reality: for one thing, all of the jihadis who murdered 130 people in Paris in November 2015 had just entered Europe as refugees. ISIS vowed to infiltrate the refugee stream, and it has done so. Also “contradicting his claim was a report published in August which found that refugees and asylum seekers have been involved in more than half of terror plots in Germany since the onset of the migrant crisis — including the deadly Berlin attack in which a Tunisian rammed a lorry into crowds at a Christmas market.”
So what is Koser really trying to do? He is trying to make sure that Europeans remain complacent about what is happening to their countries, and do not rise up and elect leaders who will stop this madness and protect them. For the World Economic Forum to be spreading disinformation of this magnitude is nothing short of criminal.

“‘Davos Man’: Mass Muslim Migration Makes Europe More Secure,” by Virginia Hale, Breitbart, November 16, 2017:
Third world migrants have ‘greatly helped’ economies in Europe, and can help prevent violent extremism, according to World Economic Forum (WEF) Global Agenda Council on Migration chairman Dr. Khalid Koser MBE.
Speaking with Refugees Deeply, the executive director of the Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund (GCERF) said extremism and terrorism are “absolutely… a homegrown issue” that has nothing to do with immigration.
Koser claims that migration is not only beneficial to societies and economies but can also help ‘prevent’ violent extremism.
“If there is a link between violent extremism and migration, it is that violent extremism is driving people from their homes, not that people are coming to our shores to commit violent extremism.
“It’s so obvious that it shouldn’t need to be said, but it does need to be said,” added Koser, who edits the Journal of Refugee Studies, and holds fellowships and professorships at a number of institutions including the United Nations University – Maastricht Economic and Social Research Institute on Innovation and Technology (UNU-MERIT).
Contradicting his claim was a report published in August which found that refugees and asylum seekers have been involved in more than half of terror plots in Germany since the onset of the migrant crisis — including the deadly Berlin attack in which a Tunisian rammed a lorry into crowds at a Christmas market.
Asked about the national security dimension of illegal immigration, he contended that there is “no evidence that irregular migrants are any more inclined toward criminality or terrorism than nationals”.
“There’s no doubt that there are certain groups of irregular migrants in certain cities that are committing crimes, whether it’s pickpocketing or fraud or petty crime,” he acknowledged.
“But overall the data suggests that criminality, and absolutely extremism and terrorism, are a homegrown issue more than an imported issue.”
Complaining that too much attention is focused on “national security, terrorism, extremism and crime”, Koser argued that the migration debate should be shifted to prioritise “human security” concerns including the deaths of people in the process of trying to migrate illegally, and racism.
“It’s quite clear that the real security concern is that a large number of migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees are facing human security challenges, whether because they’re fleeing persecution, dying in transit, or facing discrimination in their new country,” he said.
The MBE recipient said it was a “big mistake” to suggest “that because an important but small number of people have become foreign terrorist fighters, that immigration has failed in Europe.
“Integration in Europe has been immensely successful,” he insisted. “Millions upon millions of people have come to Europe and flourished and helped our economies greatly.”
A variety of datasets show that mass immigration from outside Europe is a net cost to nations’ treasuries, with non-EU migrants costing Britain £16 billion a year net, while across the continent they have more than double the unemployment rates of Europeans.
One field in which non-EU migrants do make an outsized contribution, data from across the continent suggests, is crime.
In France, estimates of the proportion of prisoners who are Muslim range between 40 to 50 per cent, in a country where the Muslim population is estimated to be eight to 10 per cent, while 20 per cent of high-security prison inmates are Muslim in Britain, where just five per cent of the population follow Islam….

Great! And you are letting how many stay in your house? None? Now wait a minute we common uneducated folk have to put up with them while you can preach from your protected office and house? When the Muslims overtake your country you are going to be among the first they will get rid of. And they will do it with a smile on their face.

They will give any pin head a phd these days, the value of a madrassa education is that of a small lump of goat feces. Stupidity is evolving at the same speed as islamic expanding. The only was muslim immigration would help anyone, is if muslims immigrated tot he south pole and stayed there.

His views are more conformation about what many have been saying for nearly three years, he is simply stating the agenda and the political establishments in the EU and others have mostly bought into the whole filthy plot.
He is ONE of the faces undermining security, prosperity and peoples safety in Europe through mass immigration and nobody elected him. All that can be done is vote against his enablers in the establishments.
Nobody is trying to do to black Africa or anywhere else what’s being tried against Western European nations and on the same scale, we are the prize all seek from broken dysfunctional countries.
Be sure of one thing, his butt will be one of the last to be hoisted to the heavens by a bomb planted by his new “mates”.

253 muslims were butchered yesterday in a mosque in Egypt and I don’t know how many were seriously wounded, the attack was carried out by their “brothers in Allah.”
Back in the 1990s entire villages were raided by fellow muslims in Algeria, ALL the inhabitants were killed, including their animals and everything was set on fire, probably because they weren’t islamic enough ( of course babies and farm animals included.)
And now this forum of “experts” comes with utter idiocy. How gullible must you be in order to believe this B.S.?
(Well, the ”politically corrrect” must be saying “yes and amen” and ap[lauding their “darlings…”) …)

Why would an economics forum push for the islamisation of Europe , when that policy can only ruin the economies of every nation involved ?

ALWAYS carry. Amen to that, Aebe. And this forum’s policy is designed to ruin the economies of these countries. Then, ‘the government’ comes in with its solution: one world government. People will cry out for someone to save them … and the solution will be absolute state control of everything.

“If there is a link between violent extremism and migration,…”
Uh, excuse me Dr., If you and your liberal academics would just read the books in their school systems, you would know that radicalism and Judeo-phobia is something many muslims learn from a very young age (i.e. Syria).
This Doctor deserves an “F” in sociology and anthropology, just like Merkel, Obama, and Clinton!

Hmmm. Let’s do a true and honest sociological analysis that liberals seem incapable of:
Iran: RADICAL educational system
Saudi Arabia: Radical text books
Palestine: Radical text books
Syria: radical text books
Indonesia: less radical… but still radical (like saying not as white supremacist, but still white supremacist. that’s why liberals are confused).

Tell the lie enough times, as Hitler taught, and eventually people come to believe it. The human mind is far too easily controlled, and we are dealing with absolute masters of mind control — evil, and masters of it.
“You are safe by having millions of jobless, uneducated, Koran-ideology-driven young men flood into your cities and demand housing, money, health, education, for limitless times. THIS makes you safe and more secure.”
Right. So I am more secure, in my own home, by having street people, drug addicts, homeless, unemployed, sick, angry, mentally ill people come live in my home? In fact, the more of them, the MORE secure I am?
This is the analogy. It is simple, it is clear, and it is accurate.
I shared it a few weeks ago with a friend who was thinking that DACA and millions more immigrants — legal and illegal — are okay. What if it’s YOUR home we are talking about? Fill it with these people. Pay for their health, food, spending money, education, housing costs. Cover it all! Eventually, you are broke, and they go somewhere else.
Something seemed to click in his mind at that. We forget to use the simplest of analogies to make our points.
Christ taught in parables — short stories. We remember those above most of the rest of the Bible. Let’s make our points with analogies, examples, stories — and facts.

But Shapiro is wrong, because it’s not just “radical” muslums. Shapiro is flaccid on islum and muslums.
