Europe has assumed the posture of the Good Samaritan as a response to the tsunami of refugees and migrants flooding the continent. Politicians and public authorities are in the grip of emotional do-good-ing. Critical voices and questions are attacked with a barrage of accusations of inhumanity, lack of compassion or outright racism. Any intelligent political debate on immigration has therefore been silenced and replaced by a grandiose show of emotion.
Danish police gave up registering refugees and migrants entering at the border because the migrants refused to comply with regulations in order to push on to go to Sweden. This was a de facto abolition of constitutionally enacted statutes. The police simply surrendered to the pressure from the crowd demanding abandonment of the rule of law. Minister for Justice Soren Pind subsequently appeared on TV all teary-eyed and emotional about the sheer goodness and altruism of the police. Reality inverted. Law enforcement commended for allowing people to break the law. This abolition of the rule of law and the political agenda of open borders for mass immigration are defended on the basis of arguments drawn from Christian charity.
What is happening here? The EU politicians, who have so far advocated strict separation of politics from religion, and who have banished religious symbols from any public display, now employ Christian arguments when stating their immigration policy. Has the Europe that has been abandoning its Christian roots progressively for decades, for instance by refusing to mention Christianity in the EU Treaty, decided to return to its heritage like the Prodigal Son?
No, quite the contrary. Europe is like Judas, betraying its Christian tradition with the traitorous kiss of false compassion in order to obliterate the last vestige of Christian civilization in Europe.

“True charity always springs from a higher moral absolute, a clear distinction between right and wrong, good and evil. False charity offers compassion for the criminal and not the victim. No charity for the woman who is victimized by rape but pity for the perpetrator, the rapist. Such pity is a gross perversion.”
Also “Charity begins at home”.
(Oldie but even more relevant today)Except, not really...
Berlin, by your handle I’m assuming you live in Berlin. right?
And by your post you seem to be saying that suicidal compassion mongering is no longer the prevailing virtue signaling among the german public and even their politicians.
If you do live there, can you give us a sense of what the majority of Germans think about being guilted into welcoming invaders at their expense? How has the mood changed since the Christmas Market attack? And what are the chances of Merkel winning another term?
Btw, have you seen the latest ISIS burning people alive video and ISIS children committing executions?
“In Germany, the prevalent view is that because of critical errors in Obama’s Middle East strategy there was and is a legitimate refugee crisis.”
So because of that they want to commit personal and national suicide? And most of the rapefugees are not from Syria.
And why don’t the Germans go and fight ISIS in Syria instead of importing them to Germany? And why not go and set up a safe zone in Syria for real refugees?
Bottom line though, you seem to be saying the german public still support the invaders and still favor open borders, so that article I posted is as relevant as ever... or am I misinterpreting what you’re saying?
I actually waited for your response so let me just say:
Yes Germany wants to commit personal and national suicide.
Moving on with my weekend now.
Have a good one.
Does anyone really believe compassion plays a role here? Like the US, western Europe is just looking to replace a serf caste because the native one isn’t breeding. These trafficked foreigners aren’t workers as much as consumers of public services; when one sees how they live in Europe (plenty of freebies, but consigned to violent slums) then one can see compassion is not involved here.
Decades ago Eric Clapton was chastised for publicly asking why England was importing the poor from the Caribbean just to house them in slums in London; nothing compassionate about that.
France: Muslim migrants take over the vacation homes of Europeans
It’s virtue signaling compassion.
I have thought for some time .. as soon as America has beefed up her military AGAIN, will they be called upon to rescue Europe all over again ..??
Wasn’t WWII enough Europe ..?? Didn’t you get the picture then ..?? Why does America always have to rescue you from your folly ..?? Why do our loved ones have to shed their blood over your misguided .. and rather stupid decisions.
yes, and most Germans are socialists afraid to face combat.
All in all, over the years more than 100,000 German soldiers and civilians have contributed to the efforts aiming at the stabilization and reconstruction of Afghanistan.
You are what I call OST Deutsch. East German. You and most former East German’s were rotten commies who do little to nothing. You pay zip for us to protect you in Germany from Russia. Pay your damn NATO bill. Your parents were probably picking our trash in 57-60.
You claim birth in NYC. When have you ever served in combat? You would get your little tattoos dirty.
The former East Germans need Muslims to get more handouts.
Ingrates never serve their country. Look in the mirror. You left America for a free ride.
