No Escaping Sharia - Muslim vs. Christian Refugees
One would think that having escaped from almost certain death and persecution, all refugees fleeing to Western nations and capitals would finally be safe. Not so: according to recent reports, refugees are routinely lumped together in shelters and camps, irrespective of their religious affiliations and faiths.
Not surprisingly the Christian refugee minority is finding increasing persecution from the Muslim majority, just like back home.
According to Max Klingberg, director of the Frankfurt-based International Society for Human Rights: "Those Christian converts who do not hide their faith stand a 100% probability of being attacked and mobbed." The intention of the attackers is usually to impose Sharia law and practice on all other shelter refugees of different faiths.
A recently published Die Welt account seems to capture the poignancy of the situation in the testimony of an Iranian convert to Christianity: "In Iran, the Revolutionary Guards arrested my brother in a house church. I fled from the Iranian secret service because I thought that in Germany I could finally live my faith without persecution. But in the refugee shelter, I cannot admit that I am a Christian, or I would face threats. Muslims wake me before the crack of dawn during Ramadan and say that I should eat before sunrise. When I decline, they call me a kuffar, an unbeliever. They spit at me. They treat me like an animal. They threaten to kill me."
Complicating matters further are those that come to the shelters posing as volunteers and helpers. Hans-Georg Maaen (head of German intelligence) was quoted stating that the true mission of such ‘volunteers' is, in fact, deliberately to seek contact with refugees and to invite them to their mosques to recruit them to their cause.
Matters are also not helped by the politicians' apparent lack of insight as well as insensitivity and concern towards the plight of the adversely affected individuals and their families. The police, who have a firsthand understanding of these issues, are now urgently calling for migrants of different faiths to be housed separately. The police have also publicly admitted that they have been pushed to "absolute breaking point."
So much so that even the German police chief has advocated that Christian and Muslim refugees should be housed separately.
Yet some politicians are said to counter such proposals, alleging that such segregation would go against Germany's multicultural values. This despite the extensive evidence that lack of harmony is still a serious challenge in the shelters. Other politicians argue that separating hundreds of thousands of migrants by religion and nationality would be a logistical impossibility.
Germany is expected to get about 800,000 asylum applications this year.
Crowding at the shelters is yet another potential powder keg waiting to explode, as the shelters are cramped with little or no room for comfort or privacy. A notable case is a shelter with a capacity for only 750 people being used to house 4,000. Tensions related to the strain of shared facilities quickly come to the fore, easily provoking conflicts.
Some refugees even describe these shelters as being akin to prisons and probably worse in some ways since the police are overwhelmed and unable to guarantee safety and security. Knives and homemade weapons are in use, and crimes are said to even extend to sexual abuse and rape.
Little wonder that the tide of public opinion is now reported to be turning against the government's open-door policy. Some advocate that the asylum applications of intolerant and aggressive migrants should be rejected since most "cannot be integrated".
And if history is anything to go by, it will just be a matter of time before Germany, and Europe as a whole, regret their decision to haphazardly accommodate asylum seekers with intolerant attitudes and extremist views.
