Syrian refugee Tareq Alaows launches bid for German parliament
2021-02-05
Taking Muslim colonization to the next stage.
[DW] After fleeing Syria's civil war in 2015, the 31-year-old social worker and Green party candidate is hoping to become the first refugee from Syria to be elected to the Bundestag.

Seven years ago, Tareq Alaows was studying law in Aleppo and Damascus. As the Syrian civil war broke out, he took part in peaceful demonstrations and provided humanitarian aid for the Red Islamic Thingy as the war zones widened.
So he was either an idealist, probably socialist, or a Muslim Brotherhood type.
But eventually, he, too, became targeted by the regime. After a brief moment of hesitation, he decided to flee in July 2015.
...along with the ambitious, the mendacious, and the vicious who had the ready money to take a year off from life to make the Hegira. Thank you, Angela Merkel.
Now the 31-year-old hopes to become the first refugee from Syria to enter the Bundestag, Germany's parliament.
From migrant to ruler by easy steps.
After applying for citizenship,
...a challenging written test was involved, I was told back in the day...
Alaows on Tuesday launched his candidacy for the Green party
...Socialists and Muslims now partnering, I believe, so either way our hero would be a fit...
to represent Oberhausen in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Germany is scheduled to hold parliamentary elections on September 26, nearly six years after Chancellor Angela Merkel
...chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom. Now they make faces at her for inundating the country with Moslem colonists...
, who is not running for reelection,
...a wise choice. Does she have a designated successor, or is she not running that as well?
opened the nation's borders to Alaows and hundreds of thousands of other migrants colonists and refugees from war-torn Syria, Afghanistan and elsewhere.
Heading toward a million, I thought, after they’d cleaned out the files of all the duplicate applications, but I could be remembering an interim number.
It's the second general election since then, with the first in 2017 marked by the arrival of the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) as a credible opposition force in the national parliament.

"In Germany, NRW is my home. Right here in my constituency in Oberhausen and Dinslaken was the beginning of my political work," Alaows said in his campaign video posted to Twitter.
Coincidentally, no doubt, both are ISIS strongholds.
ORGANIZING FOR DIGNITY
For two months, Alaows traveled with thousands of others across the infamous Balkan route,
...that was fast...
eventually winding up being housed in a gymnasium in the post-industrial city of Bochum.

"All I wanted was a life of safety and dignity," he told German newspaper Tagesspiegel.

Shocked by the living conditions he found in Germany, within months he co-founded an initiative that advocates for increased participation and improved housing for migrants colonists.
He demanded the Germans support him for free in the lifestyle his German hosts had to work hard to be able to buy for themselves? That sounds more like jihad than assimilation.
In just six months he learned German.
Well done!
Shortly afterward, he started a new career as a social worker, offering legal counseling to other refugees.
In Germany you need an 18 month course just to be a grocery store cashier. My grandmother had a four year university degree before she got work as a social worker in the early years if the last century — how was he legally permitted to offer legal counsel in under a year?
In 2018, as politicians clashed over allowing more new arrivals into Europe, as migrant vessels stranded and overturned in the Mediterranean, he co-founded the "Seebrucke" or Sea-Bridge alliance, which continues to campaign for the rescue of refugees at sea.

BIDDING TO BE A VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS
Running as a candidate for the environmentally focused Greens, Alaows emphasizes the link between climate change and migration policies.

"The climate crisis will further aggravate the situation of people in the global south. This is why a fair climate policy must focus on refugees and migration," he said in his Twitter campaign video.

"As the first Syrian refugee in the Bundestag, I want to give a political voice to the hundreds of thousands of people who have been forced to flee and who live with us," he said.

If successful in his bid, he said he hoped "to be the voice of all refugees."
Not the voice of former refugees who have become German?
