European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has called an emergency leaders' meeting on the asylum crisis, amid calls from Slovenia it cannot cope and Brussels lawmakers calling for a total rethink of the EU asylum policy.
The extraordinary meeting has been called by Juncker after the refugee crisis along the Western Balkans route deteriorated into chaos. The vast numbers of asylum seekers fleeing warzones in the Middle East have caused chaos in several European countries.
The leaders of Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia have all been summoned to Brussels to discuss the worsening situation.
It comes as crowds of refugees and other migrants camp by roads in western Balkan countries in worsening autumn weather, after Hungary sealed off its borders with Serbia and Croatia, causing a chain reaction in other overwhelmed states, Reuters reported.
Slovenia passed legislation on Wednesday to give the army more power to help police guarding the state border — which forms the outer edge of the passport-free Schengen zone — as refugees streamed in from Croatia, on the way to Austria.
EU diplomats said German Chancellor Angela Merkel, under domestic pressure over an influx of hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers, was the driving force behind the latest meeting, just 10 days after the last full EU summit on migration.
Some diplomats voiced concern that Berlin was deepening divisions in the 28-nation bloc by pressing for a permanent mechanism for relocating refugees among member states, which several governments saw as an open-ended commitment and were determined to resist, at least until the influx can be limited.
Peter Altmaier, Merkel's chief of staff and coordinator for the refugee crisis, said the aim of the summit was to address the "untenable" situation in which refugees were passing unhindered through the Balkans and north to Germany. Speaking to public broadcaster ZDF, he said:
"It can't be that every country simply allows the refugees through. Therefore the goal is to agree on common steps so that all countries get relief and that the refugees are treated humanely on their path through Europe."
A dividing line is emerging between governments that see the crisis primarily as a security issue requiring stronger action to control EU borders, stem the flow of migrants, send back those not entitled to asylum and pay other states, if necessary, to keep them at bay, and those that see it above all as a humanitarian integration challenge.
Diplomats said European Council President Donald Tusk reflected the security concerns more strongly, while Juncker saw the EU's humanitarian values at stake. Berlin and Commission officials are also skeptical of the chances of preventing desperate people from reaching Europe.
Last week's EU summit agreed on a range of measures to strengthen external border protection and offer financial incentives to Turkey and other nations to keep refugees on their soil and deter them from heading to Europe.
The new meeting appeared to be an effort by Juncker and Merkel to raise pressure on central and southeast European states to cooperate among themselves in managing the migration flow in a more humane way and end a series of unilateral actions that have raised political tensions.
Western Europe’s long, slow suicide is too long and slow for Western European elites, apparently. You know, the self-loathing, Western-loathing progressive-minded sorts. Projections of Muslim supremacy in Europe by the latter part of the 21stCentury means that Europe’s enlightened class won’t experience the pleasure of watching Muslims hoist guidons emblazoned with the shahadaand the takbir over the Vatican. Quite a visual, won’t it be, compliments of Al Jazeera, having a muckety-muck imam emerge on the once papal balcony -- a balcony festooned with a boldly oversized crescent moon and star flag -- to bestow blessings on masses of believers shouting, “Allah Akbar,” as a global audience watches enthralled.
Thus the intent to hasten Europe’s demise -- that is, whatever remains of degraded Christian Europe and Western Civilization there. Muslim ascendency has its satisfactions, but nothing beats witnessing the coup de grâce, the final scimitar coming down on the neck of once mighty Europe. That’s what open borders means -- it’s a quickening of the suicide. It gives an outside chance for Western Europe’s elites to witness the dénouement of their crimes (perhaps they would prefer the kinder, gentler word, “designs”).
Muslims, being fervently (or fanatically) religious and morally and culturally dark-aged, might discomfit Europe’s godless statists, whose tastes run more toward a nihilist flavor for Europe’s end. But a Hitlerian Weltuntergang could be awfully messy and complicate the elites’ escape, to the good old U.S.A. or wherever else the Mohammedans haven’t -- yet -- gotten a grip.
Western Europeans -- principally the Germans and French, though the Brits, among others, are catching up -- are accelerating the importation of Muslims from war-torn lands on the south and east side of the Mediterranean. It isn’t an invasion, but a mass migration with evident benefit to building Muslim hegemony in Western Europe. Yes, “hijra” now enters the Western lexicon, along with “jihad.” Hijra is subjugation and conquest by an exotic name. One culture’s refugee is another culture’s -- and faith’s -- warrior-migrant.
There are the stirrings of revolt -- an awakening -- among Europeans, however. Hungary, in a fit of sanity, has sealed its borders to Muslim migrants. (Budapest might be where the pope flees one day.) Ordinary Germans are in the streets protesting. Others across Europe, too. But with an estimated 20 million Muslims in Western Europe, what possibly can be done to reverse the Muslim tide? What can be done to change Western Europe’s fortunes?
The Muslim newcomers join millions of their brethren who’ve called Europe home for as much as a couple of generations. Many came to fill Western Europe’s need for cheap labor (heck, any labor, since post-everything Europeans enjoy shortened work hours, summer respites, and subsidized lives. Breaking sweats is for wogs, anyway).
The new waves of Mohammed’s minions entering Europe do so to the blathering, idiotic rationalizations of Angela Merkel, most conspicuously.
Frau Merkel spouts unctuous pieties about the need for compassion and humanitarian outreach to hundreds of thousands of Muslims expected to cross Germany’s borders. Did we say that Europe’s elites are insular and inbred? Those among the crème de la crème who aren’t pining for annihilation live as detachedly from hard -- actually, ugly -- realities. Merkel’s suggestions that accommodations are possible for Muslim entrants betray a conceit: that superior Germans will gladly condescend to minister to the unwashed, prayer rug-toting Mohammedans, taming them. Failure to reverse this soggy reasoning will prove a fatal conceit. But fatal the conceit may already be
Mass expulsion of Muslims from Western Europe has yet to gain currency in the mainstream. Given what the mainstream is, it’s likely never to catch on. In fact, expulsion is considered fringy or loony. In fact, expulsion, which offers the only real antidote to Muslim ascendency in Western Europe, will not happen.
Anthony Carr, at Australia’s Quadrant, offers this insight as to why Western European elites will never expel the Muslims in their midst, much less stem the flow of migrants in any coordinated, systemic fashion over time. Wrote Carr on September 22 of this year:
Educational institutions and much of the media throughout the Anglosphere now spread the message that Europe’s record in relation to the rest of the world is one of racism, xenophobia and oppression — the Australian story, for example, being one of exploitation, cruelty and dispossession. How can a people, so unworthy, with faith in neither God nor themselves, resist a people whose religion insists they should have primacy, that they are entitled to what they seek as of right?
Europe’s elites lack the conviction and will to take remedial -- even draconian -- actions to rescue their countries and civilization. These nihilists embrace suicide at the hands of millions among them who practice a barbarous faith… who move toward conquest with humble certitude in Allah and Mohammed.
Don’t expect Islam’s rise in Western Europe to go smoothly. The cheery scene at the Vatican with the imam may transpire only after a long period of dystopia. Strife and civil wars could well erupt between Muslims and the redoubtable native lumpenproletariat.
