Refugees in Europe are just “Muslim invaders” and economic
migrants seeking better lives, Hungarian PM Viktor Orban has said, adding that
the large number of Muslims in the EU had led to the appearance of ‘parallel
societies.’
Many
Western societies have been historically built on immigrants seeking better
lives, welcoming in peaceful refugees who recognized the two-way-street
responsibility between immigrants and their host country. Times have changed.
Hijrah, or jihad by emigration,
is, according to Islamic tradition…To emigrate in the cause of Allah – that is,
to move to a new land in order to bring Islam there, is considered in Islam to
be a highly meritorious act.
While
peaceful Muslims are among the vast streams of refugees, the prevalent concern
is not about the peaceful ones. It is about Sharia-ingrained world views of
supremacy and expansion, the jihad threat and the import of what Canada’s
former Harper government once termed “barbaric cultural practices.” This should
not be difficult to understand.
Orban specifically targeted Germany and Chancellor Angela Merkel’s
‘open-door’ policy towards asylum seekers. “I’ve never understood how chaos,
anarchy and illegal border crossings are viewed as something good in a country
like Germany, which we view as the best example of discipline and the rule of
law
Orban has
also stated clearly on many occasions that “migration turned out to to be the Trojan horse of
terrorism.” The Islamic State was successful in infiltrating its terrorists into
the refugee streams to the West, posing grave dangers to homeland security.
Orban is
consistently described in such terms as “hardliner,” “xenophobic,” and
“Islamophobic,” the same used to describe anyone who opposes suicidal
immigration policies on rational grounds. Distinctions between helping vetted
refugees and immigrants versus flinging open the door wide to immigrants from
Islamic states that are jihadi hotspots are routinely ignored. Western leaders
have and had the duty to protect their citizens.
Orban has predicted in
past that “Europe will become divided into two parallel societies with Muslims
living in their own enclaves under different leaders and laws.” He was right.
Sweden is suffering the collapse of its once-peaceful society, with the rapid
expansion of violent no-go zones, causing even police to fear going to work.
Migrant youths turned a shopping centre into
no-go zone. Orban also stated that “along with parallel societies comes a
parallel legal system,” and that “many Muslim families secretly want their own
religious laws put in place in European countries.” Britain already has over 85
Sharia courts, in which women are being returned to abusive husbands.
Refugees in
Europe are just “Muslim invaders” and economic migrants seeking better lives,
Hungarian PM Viktor Orban has said, adding that the large number of Muslims in
the EU had led to the appearance of ‘parallel societies.’
Asked in an interview with the German Bild newspaper why Budapest
does not want to accept any refugees, Orban replied: “We don’t consider these
people to be Muslim refugees.” Instead, the tough-talking politician said they
were regarded as “Muslim invaders.”
Asylum seekers must cross four countries to reach Hungary from
Syria, all of which are not as rich as Germany but are economically stable, the
PM said. He was apparently referring to Turkey, Greece, Macedonia and Serbia –
a common route for migrants heading for ‘wealthy’ Europe.
“So, they are not running for their lives [in these countries].
They are merely economic migrants seeking a better life,” Orban concluded. He
stressed though, that he can only speak for the Hungarians and they “don’t
want” immigration. In his view, the government simply can’t go against the will
of the people.
Going further, the prime minister noted that no refugee wants to
go to Portugal, for example, adding that the majority of asylum seekers simply
wanted to live in prosperous Germany.
“The reason why people are in your country is not because they are
refugees, but because they want a German life,” he said, describing the issue
“politically” as a European problem but, “sociologically,” as a German problem.
Orban specifically targeted Germany and Chancellor Angela Merkel’s
‘open-door’ policy towards asylum seekers. “I’ve never understood how chaos,
anarchy and illegal border crossings are viewed as something good in a country
like Germany, which we view as the best example of discipline and the rule of
law,” he said.
The recent wave of refugees reaching Europe is merely an invasion,
according to Orban. “If someone wants to come to your house, he knocks on your
door and asks: ‘Can we come in, can we stay?’ They [asylum seekers] didn’t do
that, they crossed the border illegally,” he stated.
In the interview, he said that multiculturalism was only “an
illusion,” as Christian and Muslim societies “will never unite.” According to
the Hungarian leader, the presence of a large number of Muslims results in the
appearance of “parallel societies.” No such situation exists in Budapest due to
a low number of migrants, he said.
Orban, a harsh critic of migration and mandatory migrant quotas,
has repeatedly cast doubt on the validity of migrants’ humanitarian plight. He
once called asylum seekers “a Trojan horse for terrorism.”
In September, Hungary claimed that fences on its borders with
Croatia and Serbia had helped to cut the inflow of migrants by over 99 percent
since 2015. The country’s border fence has been repeatedly criticized by other
European states, as well as by EU politicians, but Budapest has resisted
pressure to remove it.
Last month, Budapest, along with Poland and the Czech Republic,
defended its “right” to reject EU-imposed refugee quotas amid pressure from the
European Commission. Despite repeated EC warnings, the three countries continue
to pursue a course of non-compliance, arguing that migrants pose a direct
threat to the public’s security…..
