Although even after these discoveries there are some who continue to pass it off as innocent.

/// Erik Haugland, head of Norway’s asylum programme pointed out that it was possible the images were on the phones for innocent reasons. ///

/// He explained that asylum-seekers might have the photographs in order to bear witness to the war and horrors they were fleeing in their home country, or they may have been a tactic to sneak through jihadi-controlled areas unharmed. ///

I'm unsure of the question you are putting forward AOG.

What proof are you questioning, and what have 'some of us suspected all along?'

If you could elaborate, that would be much appreciated.

If people do have these images on their phones, I'd like to hear the 'innocent reasons'.

[naomi24]

Sorry, the 'innocent reasons' are given in the last paragraph. Believe it if you will. I don't.

[Old_Geezer]

Aren't the quotes from Erik the innocent reasons referred to ?

andy-hughes, //What proof are you questioning, and what have 'some of us suspected all along?' //

I would have said that's obvious. That Islamic terrorists posing as refugees are using the opportunity to infiltrate the west.

[naomi24]

Yes, OG - I realised that the moment I pressed 'submit' - hence my subsequent post.

I would have thought that one could easily work it out if one read the report, but please allow me.

/// The revelation comes amid heightened fears that ISIS is exploiting the migrant crisis to smuggle fighters into Europe, following last month’s attacks in Paris. ///

:-p
I reckon had the tech not done it's usual job of putting typos in every other word for me to correct, I may well have posted before your correction ;-)

To be honest I can't think of a non-innocent reason to have these photos. Surely for most it is to ensure they are believed when they say what they are fleeing from ? Though they surely would have feed far enough by getting to camps over the border.

...FLED...


Like I %^£&£%($%^"*(%$£(*%£$*%£$* typed !!!!!!!!!

It seems that wearing a blindfold can have fatal consequences.

[andy-hughes]

Naomi and AOG - thanks for your clarifications - I must be on go-slow this morning!

I really cannot see the reason for taking and keeping photographs of such atrocities on mobile phones for the reasons Mr Haugland has given - surely anyone with a modicum of awareness knows of the atrocities carried out by IS - no-one really needs colour pictures to underline the point.

Secondly, I doubt that IS would assume that 'souvenirs' of their actions on phones constitute tacit support for their actions - not that they require it - they appear to make up their own rules for whom they do and don't arbitrarily murder - I doubt if this perceived pandering would do any good.

I wonder if Mr Haugland is trying to look for some vestige of value in these pictures? If he is, I suggest his search is utterly futile.

Whatever the reasn given this is highly suspicious. But yes you are correct the F O J will be along shortly to put you right I am sure

What is the 'F O J' please?

///possible the images were on the phones for innocent reasons///

Just goes to prove the old adage - 'There is one born every minute'

[bazwillrun]

yeah, like the pics that paeodophiles have on their equipment...purely innocent reasons

on this board there seems to be more than one every minute...

[andy-hughes]

bazwillrun - //yeah, like the pics that paeodophiles have on their equipment...purely innocent reasons //

I don't think that analogy really flies.

Mr Haugland's reasons are on the very edge of reasonable argument, but just about hanging on - a paedophile's reasons are never anywhere near reasonable argument - ever.

[bazwillrun]

"I don't think that analogy really flies."

good for you then.....case proven....one born every minute !
