Then, instead of 57 Arab countries creating chaos in the world, there will be 58 Arab countries creating chaos in the world.

Why does it need to be in Europe? Islamic states don't have islands?

“Why does it need to be in Europe? Islamic states don’t have islands?”

Indonesa consists of over 17000 Islands, only 6000 are inhabited. Sounds like there should be a few available and they are already Muzzie, although Asian.

Muslim welfare leeches on an island. I hope he has a LOT of billions. They will be gone fast. And then they will be landing on the Italian/Greek coasts again.

Nah, they wouldn’t stay, they would have to work to build their own country and be responsible for their own lives, why go to all that trouble when they can just come to western countries and mooch for free off the shrinking middle classes for the rest of their lives, or until,they finally kill the host? Plus, they’d wind up having a war between one type of Muslim and another type, they always do, and half of them would want to refugee to the nearest western countries anyway.

Greece needs money, refugees want to be in the area but none of the locals want them.
This is at least a reasonable solution. It also could mean this guy becomes another Muslim king.

that’s a nice offer but there’s no need as the UN plans to send 70% of the world’s “refugees” to the U.S..

Yeah, it’s odd how the muslim refugees flee to Europe, often passing through Turkey & other stable muslim countries.

What gives these Moors any idea that they have any rights to any parts of Europe. We fought them for centuries to keep them out.
