Isn't Crete divided in half? The rapists in one half and Greeks in the other. They probably won't let rapists into the clean half and no refugees will want to go to the filthy half. Maybe that's the solution for Europe, divide each country in half.
You’re confusing Crete with Cyprus.
Up until 1920 or so you would have been right. In the war between Greece & the emerging Turkish state, ethnic minorities were expelled; 30,000 Greeks from Asia Minor (the ones who had survived) and 30,000 Turks from Crete where their presence had been enforced by the Ottoman Empire. Crete has been ethnic Greek & Christian ever since though there is a small Muslim remnant.
And the Cretans cling to their guns. Given their history, you might say they are the original bitter clingers. And the government in Athens is smart enough not to intervene.
But since you were actually referring to Cyprus, seems there are quite a few `illegal’ gun owners there, too, among the Greek Cypriots. Their tastes are more like the Swiss, with machine guns kept at home in clothes closets. With Turkish Cypriots next door on the same island, that’s not hard to understand.
