Migrants crisis: Slovakia 'will only accept Christians'
BBC ^ | 19 August 2015 | BBC

Slovakia says it will only accept Christians when it takes in Syrian refugees under a EU relocation scheme. The country is due to receive 200 people from camps in Turkey, Italy and Greece under the EU plan to resettle 40,000 new arrivals.

Interior ministry spokesman Ivan Metik said Muslims would not be accepted because they would not feel at home. The UN's refugee agency (UNHCR) called on countries to take an "inclusive approach" to relocation.

But Mr Metik denied the move was discriminatory and said it was intended to ensure community cohesion.

The number of migrants at the EU's borders has surged in recent months, reaching a record high of 107,500 in July. Most are Syrians, Afghans, and sub-Saharan Africans, fleeing instability or poverty.

Last month, EU member states agreed to take in 32,000 asylum seekers arriving in Italy and Greece over the next two years - fewer than the 40,000 target. The scheme was made voluntary after some nations - including Slovakia - refused to accept set quotas.

Mr Metik told the BBC: "We want to really help Europe with this migration wave but... we are only a transit country and the people don't want to stay in Slovakia. "We could take 800 Muslims but we don't have any mosques in Slovakia so how can Muslims be integrated if they are not going to like it here?"

Good for Slovakia.

Hey mohammedans! Piss be upon you!

Believe in the one and only true GOD and His Son, or rot in the hell you have made for yourselves, now and forever.

Your call.

A serious issue.

That would be, if they could, several billions.

For humanity’s sake, they can’t. Far better to bring some prosperity their way then to simply uproot and transport 100s of millions of people to lands, where, if they did move, would lose their prosperity. No society anywhere can take such massive amounts of people and survive economically.

The Left’s vision is so twisted by their sense of white, Christian privilege and against any and all perceived threats of discrimination that they fail to see the forest for the trees.

The biggest hurdle to a society’s prosperity or not is the rule of law and property. Where the rule of law and property is followed and applied, prosperity follows.

Where the rule of law and property is absent, any strong man or group of strong men can take whatsoever they desire. The industrious person is always in fear—at the peril of their lives—of the strong taking what the industrious have strived so hard to achieve.

How can such a society prosper?

Why can’t SJW’s focus on the bad guys in those places, rather than those people who follow the rule of law and property?

I am aware of that, and was planning to post two separate pictures of some Slovakian hottie and a nice Slovakian beer close up, but figured that pic was good enough for a two for one :)

Yes, it’s discriminatory, based on common sense. Intelligent people and countries do it all the time. The P.C. government leaders have zero common sense.

While it’s a step in the right direction, European nations, or any other nation for that matter, shouldn’t be obligated to take in “refugees”.

Even if they are Christian, it could create cultural division.

Mexicans are technically “Christians” and look at the hell hole they’ve created in our own backyard.

A sane plan would be to deport them all back.

Because the LEFT has determined that the new Scarlet Letter is a “D”, for Discrimination, or perhaps an “R” for Racist.

Since even the media (or more so even in Europe) is made up of Leftists who subscribe to such logic, it behooves politicians to bow before the camera and not make waves.

That’s what I really like about Donald Trump—he won’t put up with the political correctness which has been manufactured by the Left.

I hope that if he becomes president of the USA, some of his spine will start to grow on other Western leaders, especially those that call themselves conservatives, and hey, even moderates. Those on the Left just need a more thorough beat down (politically).

I met a Slovakian lady recently. Beautiful blonde, blue-eyed with a lovely East European accent. I made the faux-pas of mistaking her for Russian. BIG mistake!

Western civilization will survive in eastern Europe. Those people haven’t been deluded by the international left.

Yay, Slovakia.

Finally, a country gets smart about Muslim refugees and has the guts to act.

May they stand up against all the right-thinking criticism and EU sanctions aimed their way.
