re: #350 Teukka

In other news, Hungarian PM Viktor Orbn just deep-throated his own foot:
I don’t want many muslims in my country

As others pointed out further up the thread, the images coming out of Europe in dealing with the refugee crisis from Africa and the ME are quite reminiscent of those we’ve seen in the 1930s. Except instead of Jews, these are quite frequently Muslims seeking to escape the violence perpetrated by ISIL and other extremists against those Muslims who are insufficiently Muslim (apostasy and sectarian violence - inc. whether they are Sunni being attacked by Shi’a or vice versa, or insufficiently religious). These countries are turning a blind eye to the violence, and are making things worse in the process, because they may legitimize the grievances by Muslims who think that the West does nothing to help them, even when they’re the very kind of moderates that the West wants and needs to stand up against the extremists.
