Scores of refugees flooded into Slovenia on their way to Austria in the last 24 hours, but their gender and sheer crowd size led some observers to note: It looks more like an invading army than a peaceful flight of the downtrodden.
As Pamela Geller, president of the American Freedom Defense Initiatve and of Stop Islamization of America, wrote on her blog, PamelaGeller.com, in reference to a video of the scene: "Watch the video. It's all men – looks like an army going off to war. And actually, that's exactly what it is."
Gateway Pundit picked up on the theme, writing on its own blog: "It's like an army marching..." The blog reported an estimated 10,000 migrants have walked across Macedonia borders in the span of 24 hours, with "the latest wave flooding across Europe ... all men."

PamelaGeller.com posted a link to a petition at OpenPetition calling on more border crackdowns.
In part, the text reads: "Every day, thousands of people flock to Austria illegally - including not only economic migrants, but also Islamist extremists. Alone because of their sheer mass, they are no longer integrated. We Austrians are given the new migration of peoples is increasingly becoming a minority in their own country. Without batting an eyelid our politicians act irresponsibly and completely destroy our future. For too long they see this crisis passively – we say: Enough! We therefore call for the resignation of the Austrian government and new elections."
The petition also calls for "the closure of the Austrian borders for economic migrants and Islamists" and the reversal of refugee flow of illegals from Europe.
"Only by implementing these measures is a solution to the current refugee crisis possible," the petition states.
According to the weekly demographic updates on migrants put out by the United Nations, 65 percent of the migrants flooding into Europe in 2015 have been healthy men aged 18 to 45 and most observers say that figure has been severely underplayed. As recently as four weeks ago the U.N. data showed 75 percent men but as that figure began to be widely reported it has dropped every week since, to 71 percent three weeks ago, then 69 percent last week, and 65 percent this week.
But even at 65 percent, that's still an extraordinary number and represents a historic shift in Islamic population, said Islam expert Robert Spencer.
The hijrah, or the Islamic doctrine of migration, is a form of stealth jihad, he said.
"To emigrate in the cause of Allah – that is, to move to a new land in order to bring Islam there, is considered in Islam to be a highly meritorious act," Spencer wrote in Front Page magazine.
He cited the following Quranic text:
“And whoever emigrates for the cause of Allah will find on the earth many locations and abundance,” says the Quran. “And whoever leaves his home as an emigrant to Allah and His Messenger and then death overtakes him, his reward has already become incumbent upon Allah. And Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful” (Quran 4:100).
And now, looking at Europe and America, a migration invasion of a much greater magnitude is underway.
WND has previously reported that operatives for the Islamic State, also called ISIS, have openly bragged about using the refugee system to infiltrate Europe and the United States. In February an operative of ISIS told BuzzFeed that the terrorist organization already had 4,000 trained fighters inside Europe.
