THE REFUGEE CRISIS EUROPE HELPED BRING ON ITSELF
h/t Instapundit
Europe is paying the second installment on the debt for its indifference to the slow-motion disaster in Syria. The first installment was (and will continue to be) an increase in the threat of domestic terrorism. The second installment is the mass migration of Syrians and other Middle Easterners into Europe.
According to Johannes Hahn, the EU Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiation (we'll know the U.S. has hit bottom when we have such a commissioner and we're not far from having one, in effect) 20 million refugees are waiting on the doorstep of Europe. David Pryce-Jones points out that not all of them are genuine refugees in flight from civil war and tyranny. Some are riding the coattails of true victims. But the number of genuine refugees is staggering and tragic.
The overwhelming majority of the 20 million are Muslim. Their presence would, according to Pryce-Jones, at least double the number of Muslims already in Europe.
