Survey: Majority of Europeans In 10 Countries Want Halt to Muslim Migration
A new study on European attitudes toward Muslim migration has revealed that 55 per cent of Europeans in ten different countries want a halt to migration from majority Muslim nations.
The study was carried out by Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, and surveyed European attitudes to Muslim migration in the UK, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Poland, Italy, Hungary, France, Austria, and Spain. The 10,000 people surveyed were asked whether they agreed with the statement, “All further migration from mainly Muslim countries should be stopped”.
Apart from Spain (41 per cent) and the UK (47 per cent), a majority in every country wanted a ban on Muslim immigrants. Across all countries, an average of 20 per cent disagreed with the statement, and in no country did the percentage that disagreed surpass 32 per cent.
The largest resistance to Muslim migration came from Poland with 71 per cent agreeing on a total Muslim migration ban. Following is Austria (65 per cent), who were initially welcoming of migrants at the start of the migrant crisis. As the crisis wore on, the government of former Chancellor Werner Faymann collapsed and the subsequent government led by Christian Kern has taken a harder stance on migration.
The Hungarians who have, along with Poland, taken a firm anti-mass migration stance comes in third with 64 per cent tied with Belgium. The Hungarian result comes as little surprise to many as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has highlighted the importance of maintaining Europe’s Christian character.
Belgium, which has a large Muslim population particularly in areas of Brussels like Molenbeek, is a more shocking result. Belgium has also had huge problems with the growing radical Islam scene.
The government was forced to admit that several Muslims danced and cheered after the Brussels terror attacks last year and one of the Bataclan massacre attackers in Paris was hidden for months in Molenbeek before his arrest.
The results are also divided by age groups. People aged 60 or older are far more likely to support a Muslim migration ban than someone under the age of 30. There is also a division between university educated people and those with no post-secondary education. Among those of an academic background, those with a master’s degree or higher, 49 per cent support a ban and 59 per cent of people with a high school education or lower support it.
The survey coincides with the rise of anti-mass migration parties across the continent, many of which have promised to put an end to the mass migration of people who primarily come from Muslim majority countries as well as an end to Islamisation. Some, like Dutch politician Geert Wilders, have even called for a ban on the distribution of the Koran.
While the support for a Muslim ban comes primarily from the right, the report notes that a third of people who consider themselves left-wing would also support a ban.

500 African Migrants ‘With Tools and Clubs’ Storm Spanish Border
MADRID (AP) – The local Red Cross says an emergency team is assisting more than 300 migrants who crossed the fence surrounding Spain’s enclave of Ceuta in North Africa early Friday.
Spain’s Civil Guard said that a surveillance camera registered how more than 500 people approached the fence with tools and clubs that they used to break one of the gates.
Around 300 of them managed to enter Spanish soil, said a spokesman with the force who asked not to be identified in line with internal protocol. Two agents were injured and are being treated at a local hospital, he said.
Hundreds of sub-Saharan African migrants living illegally in Morocco try to enter Ceuta and Melilla, Spain’s other North African enclave, each year in hope of getting to Europe.

Czech President: Muslim Migrants Should Work in Their Own Countries, Not Claim Benefits in the West
Czech president Miloš Zeman believes Muslim migrants should stay in their home countries and work, not come to Europe and claim benefits.
Czech online magazine Parlamentní Listy reports the president as saying he has “nothing against immigrants who come here to work and who have similar language and similar culture like ours”, citing the Ukrainians and Vietnamese in the country as communities which were not creating issues.
“I do not want immigrants who come from other cultures who come for social benefits, not because of work,” he continued. “Muslims should remain in the countries where they live [and] they should work in them, and they should not go to Europe, where they do not want to work.”
Zeman also commented that “Islam is based on contempt for women”, echoing his 2016 remarks that “in the Qur’an, women [are] something like the inferior part of mankind”.
In Germany, which has absorbed more migrants than any other European Union (EU) member state after Chancellor Angela Merkel issued an open invitation to them in unlimited numbers, reports suggest only 34,000 new arrivals have found work. 975,000 are said be claiming benefits.
The president’s spokesman, Jiří Ovčáček, made headlines in January 2017 for defending U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s executive order on ‘Protecting the Nation from Terrorist Attacks by Foreign Nationals’. The executive order was designed to temporarily prohibit nationals from seven states identified as “countries of concern” and all asylum seekers entering the U.S., allowing time for a thorough review of the refugee vetting process to be conducted.
“Trump protects his country,” Ovčáček tweeted. “He’s concerned with the safety of his citizens. Exactly what EU elites do not do.”
Ovčáček also stated that President Zeman “has long disagreed with accepting Muslim migrants. The priority is the safety of [Czech] citizens. The USA is our ally now.”
Zeman, who polls as the single most popular politician in the Czech Republic, will announce whether he will run for a second term or not on March 10th.

Firebrand Wilders Could Change Constitution to ‘De-Islamisize’ Netherlands
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Geert Wilders, the Dutch anti-Islam lawmaker who is at the vanguard of a wave of European far-right populists aiming to take power at elections this year, is pushing ahead with his platform to “de-Islamisize” the Netherlands, despite lawyers saying it could breach the Dutch constitution.
In an interview Thursday with The Associated Press, Wilders insisted that his plans, which include closing the country’s borders to asylum seekers and migrants from Islamic countries, shutting all mosques and banning the Quran, are legal.
And he hinted he could even seek to change the constitution, if necessary. Wilders says, “a constitution is not something that is (set) in stone and can never be changed.”
Wilders’ Party is riding high in polls less than a month before parliamentary elections set for March 15.

Because of that rotten European nationalism of yours, we had two world wars in the past. No thanks, nunca mais!
Building walls and closing our gates to our neighbors and to strangers will never ever be a solution in times of crisis. I believe in the Enlightenment and in Immanuel Kant's "project of perpetual peace in a federated Europe."
I don't like the bureaucratic EU in its current form. But dismantling it would be a terrible mistake. It's urgent to rethink it.

The old school leftists disappeared and left some hippies and new age leftists behind. On an intellectual level they loose more and more ground.
The liberal left has a big mouth, but that's all.
If they continue this way they will be fully depending on the state.
Quite ironic...

You are a well read person and yet you know nothing so tell me something.... before a true union starts what needs to happen and has it happened... I say yes it has in the most brutal of ways.
But if you follow the sequences carefully...the unity only occured in the form of a MONARCHY.....and you are deluded if the pacifist estrogen gaylords of Europe are going to accept the Monarchy.
Unfortunately this is the only way.... democracy was a failure in Athens...it's simply not a permanent form of government and always collapses over loose fiscal policy always followed by a dictatorship.
So I am not sure if you are well read or just a simpleton dumbass.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Eph. 6:12
Definition of untrustworthy and loose character are those that don't believe in God.

You wanna play with me, Bez? OK then but let me warn you: I'm a big fish.
Today's European Union is comparable in many ways to the Roman Republic in its waning days (all the ways lead to Rome), just before it collapsed. Too bloated, too sick, suffering a long agony. It was a period of civil war between the proponents of the people's interests (the populares) and the partisans of the established order (the optimates). The Senate (= the European Parliament) was too blind and resourceless to face reality. Authoritarian military chiefs (the imperatores) like Julius Caesar, Pompey and Mark Anthony (= Orbán, Le Pen & Wilders) became ambitious and exploited the fears of the people.
Facing these tyrants, philosophers like Cicero, who wanted to preserve the Republic at all costs, were powerless (Anthony ordered his execution), and nothing could prevent the Roman Republic from turning into a terrible Empire, full of mad dictators (Caligula, Nero, Domitian, Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, Commodus...)
Well, I believe in wise philosophers like Cicero and Lucretius, not in populist leaders like Caesar or Augustus.
What about you, Bez? You seem to be very strong when it comes to sarcastic posts, but not brainy comments.![]()
