The website operates pretty much like Airbnb. People, called “heroes”, offer up spare rooms in their homes for refugees to temporarily stay in.

EUROPE IS IN the midst of the worst refugee crisis in decades, with over four million Syrian refugees fleeing their country’s civil war and many coming to Europe for shelter.

Countries have been taking a differing approach to the crisis — Germany has been praised for welcoming refugees while Hungary is getting slammed for its handling of the influx of people.

Europeans are going to rue the day they welcomed the satanic invaders with open arms. So will we, for that matter.

so how many of these “saviors” are actually hosting, or is that for someone else to do?

I think we all know the answer to that. How many “refugees” is Angela Merkel of East Germany hosting at her official residence?

LOL hard to tell nowadays.

Even so two of those names are not Dutch and maybe those people and the leaders asking these immigrants to come can live at their houses.

None of the names sound Dutch. There isn’t much space to begin with and there have been tensions, especially with Moroccan youth. Not good in the long run, I’m afraid.

Indeed, Holland has a big problem with stabbings in the street of homosexuals being attacked and now they let more of these people in.

One has to ask when will these bleeding heart liberals and idiots ever wake up, but then again do these with non Dutch names actually want Holland to become muslim.

My mother is from the Netherlands (Leiden). She would never move back, because “It’s really not Holland anymore”.

They will likely be raped, robbed and/or murdered within the year.
