Korean Immigration Officials Accused of Altering Refugee Interviews for Muslim Asylum Seekers

Just what South Korea needs Muslim Brotherhood asylum seekers:

Mohamad Sabry came to Korea in July 2016 to seek asylum. In his refugee interview, Sabry told the immigration officer he faced political persecution in Egypt for being an active member of the Muslim Brotherhood. 

The official didn’t write this down.

“My interview was totally fabricated as they wrote that I had said like this in the interview: I confessed what I wrote in the application was false and I came to Korea to work as I had no job in Egypt,” Sabry told reporters at a press conference organized by NANCEN, a refugee support group, at the National Human Rights Commission of Korea office in Seoul, Tuesday.

Sabry is one of the victims of a deliberately rigged interview process against Muslim and Arab asylum seekers by multiple immigration officers under the Ministry of Justice here. 

In Tuesday’s press conference, five asylum seekers ― three of them now refugees ― spoke out about how certain immigration officials discriminated against them and deliberately falsified their interview testimony. The problem first surfaced in 2017, after NANCEN and other NGOs came across multiple cases where testimony given by Arab or Muslim asylum seekers during refugee interviews were deliberately altered by immigration officers who recorded them ― making up pieces and leaving out crucial claims while adding false information that made the applicants look like they came in Korea just to find a job.

Keep the jihadist out now or there will be hell to pay later.

As an active member of the Muslim Brotherhood, he’s actually a terrorist. The Korean official either misunderstood (thinking it was like the Egyptian version of Pipefitters Local 211 in Houston) or did understand and wanted to help him avoid being sent home in chains.

The first thing to remember about Muslims is that lying to non-muslims is a big part of their religion. It’s called al taqiyyah. And, although it’s in the Quran and the Hadith, many Muslims will deny it exists.

Christians and Jews who “befriend” Muslims must also realize that the Quran and the Hadith prohibit any Muslim from friendships with Christians and Jews. Instead, they are to lie and gain advantage over them.

It’s truly sad; but that whole crowd needs special handling to stop them from spreading and using the openness and friendship Western and Asian people offer to destroy us. They need to become Christians; butdoing so gets them marked for death by their former friends and even families.

YMMV. But at least now you have something to talk about with your Muslim “friends.”
