| Slovakia 'no' to Muslim refugees |
| 2015-08-20 |
| [ARABNEWS] Slovakia has announced it will not accept Moslems when it takes in Syrian refugees under a EU relocation scheme, the BBC has reported. The reason cited by the country's Interior Ministry front man Ivan Metik is that Moslems would not feel at home there. The country is due to receive 200 people from camps in ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... , Italia and Greece under the EU plan to resettle 40,000 new arrivals. The UN's refugee agency called on countries to take an "inclusive approach" to relocation. But Metik denied the move was discriminatory and said it was intended to ensure community cohesion. EU Commission spokeswoman Annika Breithard said she could not comment directly on the Slovak statement, but stressed that EU states were banned from any form of discrimination. |

| #8 I was walking through the mall and I saw that there was a “Islamic Book Store.” I was wondering what exactly was in an Islamic bookstore so I went in. As I was wandering around taking a look, the clerk stopped me and asked if he could help me. I imagine I didn’t look like his normal clientèle, so I asked, “Do you have a copy of Donald Trump’s book on his U.S. Immigration Policy regarding Muslims and illegal Mexicans?” The clerk said, “F*** off, get out and stay out!” I said, “Yes, that’s the one! Do you have it in paperback?” |

| #6 Would the EU react the same way if a country said that it would only accept Muslim refugees? I didn't think so. |
