A new report shows
that British authorities, including Prime Minister David Cameron, knew that
they were taking in tens of thousands of Syrians from refugee camps controlled
by the Islamic State group, according to the U.K. Express.
According to the
report from the Barnabas Fund, a group that aids persecuted Christians around
the world, Prime Minister Cameron knew as early as September, when he visited
the camps for displaced Syrians in Lebanon, that the Islamic State group was in
control of them.
Cameron’s visit
occurred before the British began taking in 20,000 refugees from the camp,
leading to questions about whether the U.K. knowingly took in terrorists or
radicalized “refugees.” Terrorists posing as “refugees” were linked to the
Paris terror attacks in November, as well as other plots.
“In September 2015
Lebanon’s Education minister Elias Bou Saab told British Prime Minister David
Cameron during a tour of refugee camps that some Syrian refugees traveling to
Europe were Islamists, adding that this was also the case among those living in
refugee camps,” the Barnabas Fund’s report read, according to the Express.
The report also said
that “recent analysis” of the Free Syrian Army showed extremists were
recruiting inside the Lebanese camps.
“While FSA does not seem to actively recruit among the refugees in Lebanon,
radical Islamist groups appear to be active,” it read, according to the
Express.
An investigation by
the British Parliament’s International Development Committee also revealed that
Cameron and the British government had received information that the Islamic
State group controlled camps in Lebanon, Syria and Jordan from which the U.K.
intended to take refugees.
In spite of this information, the government decided to take in 20,000 refugees
from those camps over a period of about five years.
Mike Hookem, a
spokesman for the anti-immigration U.K. Independence Party, said that he
believed the camps had been taken over by the Islamic State group and that
Cameron should be held to account.
“My sources in Lebanon have said for a long time that the refugee camps where
Britain is sourcing the 20,000 refugees from are run by terrorists and are
absolutely unsafe,” Hookem said. “If David Cameron did know about this and did
not pay attention, at the very least, he needs to be hauled up in front of the
Home Affairs Select Committee and answer these questions.
“We need make to make sure we have a prime minister who puts the welfare of the
British people above the appearance of ‘doing the right thing’ in front of the
international community.”
We hope the U.K. gets a leader like that. Maybe they could tell us what it’s
like.
